Another big girl purchase 👌
I’ve been procrastinating on getting a chair. This is long overdue. Ever since I started working remotely, it’s been me, my bed, and work.
Congratulations to me!

Honest answers only - would love to know 👀
About two years ago today, I lost it all.
I was laid off from one company, and the other company I worked with closed down due to low funds.
I was basically jobless. But the truth is, I wasn't so afraid, for two reasons:
I had lost jobs before, not because I wasn't competent, but because the pay could no longer accommodate my expertise.
And immediately I was laid off, I gave thanks and praised God, rejoicing as though something better was coming.
Believe you me, in less than a week, I got a message on LinkedIn. The co-founder of a prestigious company in Canada reached out to me, telling me they loved my work and would like me to work for them.
This picture was taken when I had the interview. The CEO interviewed me directly because the team was already pleased with my work, and to them, they had already hired me. I just needed to accept the offer.
The best part? The pay was over 4 times more than my earnings from both companies combined.
I attribute this to two things: one is definitely the God of the Bible, and the second was me posting my work, because the client would never have noticed me if I weren't posting.
The lesson here:
Keep showing up. Keep sharing your work. Keep believing that something better is coming.
Your breakthrough might be one post away.
