From making hair oil for free on YouTube to building a thriving business with a standard black card and private banking, and why the brutal truth about self confidence is that loving yourself and believing in yourself makes people take certain risks that everybody selling includes you and includes people buying from you, the young woman who went through content creation stopping for six months when she wasn't getting gigs before coming back and continuing proving that giving up is not something you should consider easy because somebody is watching and somebody can relate with your content, the business owner who has never hired an influencer before because people come and post their own videos and reviews without being asked making her feel important when customers say oh my edges can come back again my hair can come back giving her something solid behind the content creator title, the entrepreneur who can now go into rooms and say I'm a content creator but I can handle business I've been doing this for five years and when business goes left right the foundation still stands, the first in person sale in March where people came to buy products and she made sales and people came to see her creating conversations that she's happy to show in rooms saying look at this picture this is all me and I did it in two weeks, the sense of belonging that comes from having a thriving business where you put this and this and this together and you're able to make something that gives you respect especially when it's a thriving business because when you have the influence people say oh she can influence and she has a business too, the standard black card holder with private banking who can now buy the basics she needs even though the luxury items require more thought proving that financial freedom comes in stages, the wisdom that if you feel like starting something grab that feeling and try because if you fail at least you know you tried and sometimes when you get that feeling grab it don't dismiss it try again and see because content creation for her went down she came back and tried again after six months of not getting gigs and she continued, the honest reflection that she's given up on certain things she wishes she had stayed consistent with so giving up is not something you should consider easy, the goal to give five or ten women 20,000 cedis each to start their business this year because she won 5,000 cedis from Sunlight when she was starting and got the opportunity to reach this point so now she wants to create opportunities for others, the young girls who can learn from her and the plan to help them pick themselves up because there's a real struggle and if 10 people every year set up businesses simply by listening to conversations like this in the next 50 years the country will be better because the government can't do all the job and individual people need to build businesses and employ people, the products that make people give reviews without being asked creating hope that edges can come back and hair can grow back making the business owner feel like her work matters beyond just making money.
