This lady is dishing out real value ya all don't know. If you follow what she said you're going to get it right I tell you. I started out with figuring out what works for me.. I like content creation but Art works out better so I dived into graphic design using Canva to learn my basics and now am a professional graphic designer and a video creator. ...Omo I watched courses upon courses and did away with movies and up till now am still doing personal development by watching more course....what this lady is telling you here nobody or video content will tell you this .....lastly.. I will add that you get a mentor, someone who does the skill you're interested in doing. This helped me greatly.... So to you for sharing this amazing content... I found a content creator who is at least sincere and won't beat about the bush.... You've gained a subscriber.

Yes to finding a mentor. In fact, I was going to do a video on the best approach to getting someone to be your mentor. Thank you for sharing.

Wow can you be my mentor for graphic designing? I got a new laptop and I’m still trying to figure out skills to learn and make good use of my laptop. I started watching graphic designing videos but I haven’t been consistent in it.

@@folasadedainiI have a question aunty folashade Which do you think is better opening a new instagram page for my copy writing and content marketing Or still using my personal page I have been having this contemplations because on my personal page I do sing, and I felt it will be too noisy for such😅 Your opinion will really count or I should rather just build on LinkedIn Secondly ma, I concluded my copywriting cause few months ago and I can actually place a bet on myself😅 The thing is that finding a place to practice as someone with no experience is quite challenging (even tho I’m on fiverr) In terms of practice I’m talking about building experience outside money, what advice do you have ma? Also, I’m actually so glad and open to work under anyone 😊

Thank you so much Lady F, I enjoyed watching this and in fact started taking one of the courses. I'm trying my hands on being a VA, website design et all but I can't just seem to find my feet. There's this overwhelming feeling of "I don't know so much; It's a saturated space; who will employ me" despite doing putting so much of my best.. Did you experience this? How did you get over it if you did?

It’s a perfectly normal feeling. It’s part of the learning curve okay? Just keep going forward. It may feel overwhelming now, but you’ll look back in one year and see how much you’ve learnt and how far you’ve come.
