Transition into Self Employment As a Freelance Trainer and Facilitator.

Today is exactly 3 years since I made a full transition into self employment as a freelance trainer and facilitator. The transition was abrupt with a lot of uncertainty, reflection, missed targets, etc., but the best part is the learning received so far within the journey. 

Even though in my transition I didn't expect a smooth curve, the pandemic situation made a big dent to all my efforts where I found myself in different tests from passion, career, livelihood, finances, dreams, relocation etc.

Even though I'm still pursuing my meaning of success and stability, I thank everyone who has supported all my efforts in one way or the other. All this great experiences brings encouragement whenever I'm in doubt and will continue to inform my brand, especially what I want to achieve as I continue mentor others, especially youth from underserved communities.
