I still remember the day I met Tolani, a bright and ambitious young professional from Lagos. She had just graduated from university and was eager to start her career, but she was struggling to find a job that paid well and offered her the freedom and flexibility she desired.
As we sat down to talk, Tolani shared her frustrations with me. “I feel like I’m stuck in a rut,” she said. “I’ve applied to countless jobs, but no one seems to be hiring. And even when I do get an interview, the pay is always so low.”
I listened attentively to Tolani’s concerns, and then I shared with her a secret that I had learned from my own experiences: the 3-step formula to thrive in the digital age.
This formula had helped me to unlock my own earning potential and achieve the freedom and flexibility I desired. And I was confident that it could do the same for Tolani.
So, what is this formula? Here it is:
