I'm a student of the Federal University of Agriculture currently in 400l studying Crop Protection.I live at Akure with my parents and siblings (two brothers)in which I happen to be the last born 😁😁. I'm an entrepreneur ❣️❣️❣️ I sell fruit salad to make money and survive in this terrible economy we are facing in Nigeria.

I joined Hive because it was introduced to me by a wonderful friend of mine by the name GIFTED AKA @starstrings01, he made me understand that Hive is a platform where you can actually socialize and make new friends, know about people and what they do, build good friendships and relationships which I love and enjoy doing the most 😊😊 and lastly make money from it with ease which was the last straw that broke the camel's back 😁😁 MONEY MAKING,yes you heard me right 😌.

HOW MY FRUIT SALAD BUSINESS STARTED

What motivated me to start my business

What actually motivated me to start this business is the fact that I hate laziness and I don't want to be dependent on guys. Moreover,my friend that came over to my place because she wanted to write Post-Utme at my school 🏫.She spoke to me that she didn't like the way I wasn't doing anything, just sitting idle, eating and drinking. I told her its not like I didn't want to work but because my phone was stolen and I had no ends meet to get another phone.

Then I asked her about what I can do to make money and she gave suggestions like teaching in primary schools, doing handiwork and so on. We went to check for the schools I can apply for but they told me I can't work because I'm still schooling. As for the handiwork, I need capital to start but because of my phone was stolen the capital can't be possible. Discouraged about this πŸ˜”πŸ˜”πŸ˜”my friend suggested selling fruit salad and I saw that it was a really good idea.

CHALLENGES FACED WHEN I STARTED MY BUSINESS

My challenges started when I needed funds to start this fruit salad business. We were two actually that wanted to do this business because we didn't have anything doing. I asked my friend that introduced the business to me to help me gather funds from her friends in which she was able to do to the glory of God. With that we bought the little things we needed to start the business but it wasn't easy at all

Another challenge we faced is getting to relate with people. We felt shy and kind of intimidated since it was our first time hawking. Something that we had never planned to do in our lives. We had to overcome that with time.

The next challenge is the problem of ice. We couldn't get iceblock to ice our fruits because of lack of funds. And because of that it really affected the business a lot,the fruits were fermenting because of heat and it led to less sales and we losed customers at some point. The first attempt was really discouraging and sincerely I and my friend felt like stopping almost immediately.

Another challenge we faced in this business is the fact that we had issues balancing it with our academics to the point that it affected my friend's result. This made both of us unhappy and we got to a conclusion that she should quit the business in order for her to concentrate more on her studies. Luckily for me, my result wasn't affected which was God.

The last but not the least challenge is the problem of not selling all the fruit salad which is rare most times because of classes. Another one is the stress of carrying it around,its very very stressful and it affects my health sometimes.

HOW THIS BUSINESS HAS ACTUALLY BEEN A BLESSING TO ME

God has really been faithful to me and I'm grateful to him concerning my business because God has really made it grown. This business has really been a great source of income for me as it has helped me to take care of so many bills in school. Now, I am able to easily get ice to make my fruits cold and made lots of customers in the process.

I upgraded to adding evaporated milk to my fruits and it really made it more nice and creamy. I get a lot of orders and I don't go home without selling everything.

HOW I PLAN TO ADD VALUE TO HIVE

My plan is to build my account and build relationships with people in the community. Make motivational contents and share my life experiences.

I just want to use this opportunity to appreciate @starstrings01 for giving me the opportunity to join Hive and for guiding me on how to do my introductory post and also for his patience with me to join Hive because it actually took a while before I could join Hive. God bless you.

Welcome onboard.

Of course I will. Thanks so much

So nice to meet you @mojoyinola14. @starstrings01 upvoted my post which led me to your post. :) One of my favorite things about Hive is meeting people from all over the world and reading about their lives. I had a neighbor from Nigeria, and he was the happiest, kindest person. He always smiled and was upbeat. He would always leave beer by our door just because. :) Because he was an elder I guess. I had never experienced anything like that before. He told me how he worked here in the USA and every single paycheck he had allotted out to be sent back to his family in Nigeria. He fully supported his niece and others. I was so impressed by this. In America, most of us are on our own, and a lot of us can never count on family to help us.

I would love to come to Nigeria someday. Every time I see Nigerians, they're smiley and ready to have a good time.

I'm so glad that your introductory post made a very nice amount of money. I've been on here a long time, and I don't think I've ever made that much on a post. You're already very fortunate.

I have a business reselling things on the internet that I started when I needed money very, very desperately. Like you it really took a lot to build with no extra funds available to me. But I persisted, and over a decade later I am able to pay all of my bills with this business, and I really love doing it.

Welcome to Hive, and I hope to see more of you and your life. For people like me who live in the USA, we don't know anything about the real lives of people in Nigeria. So it doesn't take something you would find extraordinary to be interesting to us. Just what your daily life is like is very interesting to us.

Wow I'm truly and really inspired by this and I'm so happy that my story could encourage and put a smile on people's face. Thank you for sharing your story with me, hardwork pays that's what I know and learn everyday and there's no shortcut to success unless you want to maneuver it and the end result won't be a pleasant one. It was nice getting to know you also, hope to know and learn more from u. Let's have a great time together here on Hive. Cheers πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ
