How I Become Financial Independent Woman

I hope my story could help someone out there. My name is Sophia, a mother of 4 beautiful kids and a wife. I'm from Nigeria and also live in Nigeria, but aspiring to relocate to Canada or Australia.

I will try as much as possible to make my story Short.

I got married at age of 21 years, immediately I graduated from University. Nothing did I know about marriage, I was thinking that marriage was made of bed of roses, little did I know is quite a hidden hard work, cover with fancy. I have my hope all high while getting married. But marriage open my eyes to the world. I won't go in details about what happen, but it was not really what I expected, I almost call it quit. In my next story I will focus more on my marital life and how God helped me. I will solely talk about how I became Financially stable.

Getting married with only my Bsc certificate, hoping to get a good job. I went for my NYSC service with pregnancy of my twins, those in Nigeria will understand what NYSC is all about. I had my twin babies while still serving. After NYSC, I stayed at home for good 3 years applying for jobs, it wasn't easy for me. But I keep hoping on God to give me a good job.

Finally I got a job with Union Bank Of Nigeria as an Admin Manager, it was like a dream comes through, but then that was when the stress come in and fear of losing my job which is source of income for me. Working and taking care of kids wasn't an easy one and much threat from the job of sacking their staff. I started praying for a better opportunity. One day I was going through Facebook and saw an advert that talked about earning money online, making money online wasn't viral then, the way it is now. I clicked on the advert and followed through, they asked me to pay for the course, I was scared if they are scammers. But I later made up my mind and pay for the course. Initially I wasn't understanding how it works, after sometime I abandoned it, and focus on my job, since I'm not earning anything from it.

Then I move from Union Bank to Access Bank, which I now have 4 kids, it was a tough time for me. Waking up early to cook, set the children for school and then come back late at night to meet the house work and sleep late. The stress was telling on me and is already affecting my health.

I told my husband that I want to resign from work and learn how to develop website, but he didn't support that, but later accepted the ideal. I enroll for the class and started the training. From there I remembered my previous course and this time, I started going through it again, the course is all about social media advertising, information marketing, affiliate marketing and blogging. I keep on practicing until I become good at it.

With social media marketing I was able to get clients both local and international, some of the job is long term while some is short term. While I still work with some of them till date. I sell my own products as well. To top it all I work from home, take care of myself and my kids. Money I make in a month is like 3 times or more of my annual salary when I was working. God have helped me to achieve a lot, and he is still working with me. I can't thank him enough.

So many company has been hiring me to help them market their product online, it has come to a point, I don't advertise again, all my work come from referral. But above all, I believe is God in it all. With this business, I support my husband financially, I have achieve a lot. It has also help me to earn respect in my marriage, because I know how it was, before now. Because I can actually balance everything.

If I continue, I won't stop. But all I have to say, is God all the way, if he can do it for me, he can do it for you. If I can, You too can. God bless all the women out there, Worldwide.
