As a child, I met my mother engaging in business. She traded food items, vegetables mostly.
Then from vegetables, she migrated to fish business, I witnessed her travelling almost every week to go and supply her merchandise in places like Port Harcourt, Aba and other environs.
My mum was dedicated to her business. She was dogged.
I’d help her out during the drying process and she’ll tell me stories from way back about hard work and dedication.
She always likened hard work and commitment to planting a seed and watering it just right.
From Sunday school assignments to school work, from helping our neighbours to sweeping the floor in the house she’d tell us she expected the same energy.
Subconsciously, I adopted that mindset, it became a practice, a culture and eventually a lifestyle.
I learnt that for any success to be achieved, there has to be work put into achieving it.
Over the years, no matter what I’ve found myself doing, I’ve done with utmost dedication, And yes, I’ve obtained amazing results so far.
This is a story from my steps of yesterday.
