This year, I’ve had the opportunity to work with 9 different brands:
🔹2 as a Virtual Assistant
🔹1 as a Graphic Designer
🔹1 as an Engagement Officer
🔹2 Marketing Agencies as a Social Media Manager
🔹2 Individual Brands as a Social Media Manager
🔹1 as a Marine Biology Intern
🔸2 brands let me go
🔸3 I decided to leave
🔸1 was an internship, and my time was up
🔸1 is a bit complicated
I sent out countless job applications this year:
🔹Some led to great opportunities
🔹Some never got a reply
🔹Some ghosted me halfway
🔹One job slipped away because my internet speed test didn’t meet their requirement
🔸I’ve worked with a brand for over 8 months this year.
🔸I’ve worked with another brand for just one month.
🔸I’ve earned six figures in one month from one brand.
🔸I’ve earned as little as ₦5000 in one month from another.
So, what am I doing?
I’m reflecting on my year, but I’m choosing not to dwell only on the downs. I’m choosing to see the good too.
Through it all, I’ve learned valuable lessons from every experience—Whether they worked out or not. Each high and low has shaped my path and made me more adaptable and resilient.
As I reflect on my year, I’m choosing not to dwell only on the challenges. There’s always growth to be found in the tough moments, but there’s also power in recognizing the wins—no matter how big or small.
It’s easy to get caught up in what didn’t go as planned, but I challenge you right now to INTENTIONALLY shift your focus. Acknowledge the ups, celebrate the wins, and appreciate the journey.
So, tell me—what’s your biggest win this year?
