It's better late than never !
Hey Sisturr 👋
How are you? Are you surprised it's September already?
I can't even believe it myself!
What was August like?
Honestly, this newsletter should have been sent out earlier than thisÂ
But I've been up to a lot of things…. Yunno, I was trying to balance two jobs😢, School of Digipreneurs and generally just being human!
Trust me when I said it was crazy!
To crown it all up, 80% of my time was spent trying to take my ALX Virtual Assistant Program and GAIN-DBN Women Entrepreneurship Masterclass.
ALX Virtual Assistant Program was an 8-week long Bootcamp, while GAIN-DBN Women Entrepreneurship Masterclass was a 6-week long Bootcamp!
I also got this special gift from Tim Denning, my favorite online writer, after referring people to subscribe to his mailing list.
The special gift was a Writing Masterclass Vault containing 7 great lessons, taken by Tim and his partner, Todd. I didn't just learn about writing online but got so pumped up to start taking my online writing more seriously.
Indeed, the month of August saw me getting over my breakup with Afam, and healing from my hurt. The month of August was a month of doing so much, and still not losing me. The month saw lots of laughter and growth!
September has already begun on a great note, sisters 💃💃💃💃💃
I bought my first-ever generator set today 🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸🤸
(Guysss, I'm screaming!)
In August, I gave no room for excuses. I went all out of my way to do whatever it took to get my goals crushed.
Yes, in August I closed my first 6-figure paying deal as a content writer. I was so happy!
One more thing…
Something I did in August that I loved so much was being able to successfully host a 3-day CV & CL Writing Workshop, where I taught my students:
How to set the right career goals
How to find the right jobs for you
How to write a resume/CV
How to craft an irresistible cover letter
How to optimize your LinkedIn profile for jobs
The event was a HOOGE student and all 4 students who signed up for the class had premium value.
Exactly a year ago….
I was the girl who had just finished her second year in Pharmacy School and was preparing to write her re-sit exams.
I was going through the most depressing moment of my life (Trust me, sisters, it wasn't funny.)
I was sleeping many nights on an empty tummy, and just a few times my friends would send 1 or 2K and I'll buy food.
I had a boyfriend who I was madly in love with and wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
I had this big dream of making my first one million in my one-room self-con apartment.
A year after…Â
So much has changed!
I might not have made my first one million yet…
I might have broken up with the love of my life…
But I'm definitely no longer depressed 🤗
I'm no longer begging every night for money to feed.
I'm not yet where I want to be…
But I'm definitely not where I used to be!
And it's called Growth!
Parting Words
Like the ancient long proverb, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
It's not too late for you to find yourself, and create the world you'd love to live in!
It's not too late to walk right out of your comfort zone and do you!
Even if it's "too late"...
It's better late than never, dear sister!
I'm rooting for you to find your unique voice and become that shining star!
It doesn't matter how much you think you've wasted, it's better late than never!
I can't wait to hear your own story soon😘😘😘
Yours in the hustle,
Bookie.
P.S. If you love this newsletter and want me to keep writing, please share it with other sisters!Â
