Hi hivers.
Who knew consistency would be such a great deal for me.
Everyone must have had invested themselves into a variety of things before finally settling down and figuring out the one thing that they truly desire to do, (Of course excluding any other side hustle).
For me I guess that’s what I’m battling with at the moment.
I believe Hive is a safe space so here we go.
- I started with the regular entrepreneurship, having little overall knowledge about it. I ventured into manufacturing lipgloss, lip therapy oil and lip scrubs (brand name: Mysensualshimmer) to sell in exchange for profit.
It kicked off great, making lip kits and creating content for it (taking aesthetic pictures and videos myself) was exciting.

Originally I produced a dozen pieces to test the market. I was astonished by the rate at which my dozen pieces were sold out in less than two months. A quick fact about me is that I love being busy with something. I love the time producing products took from me, and also the way it made me adapt to creativity. It was a colorful and beautiful experience for me. Starting a small business made me see a perspective from the seller’s point of view, as I’ve always been the buyer.
Unfortunately the profit made were not sufficient to get enough supplies for a restocking, this made me think starting the business wasn’t a good idea due to the fact that it was not producing the size of profit I looked forward to.
I got a bit unmotivated and just temporarily quit at least until I get inspired once more.
Hopefully it won’t be the end of Mysensualshimmer.
- Moving on, I immediately started thinking and searching for an alternative. Till I stumbled on buying and selling footwear’s and purses. I got the capital and this time, I purchased a lot of products. If I remember correctly, it was a total of forty pieces-twenty piece respectively.
Yes I let a little bit of greed get to me and you guessed right, it wasn’t a happy ending :/
I winded up making a total sales of three purses and five footwear’s. Upon not getting any additional order for about two months, I was by this time beginning to become pessimistic up until the sixth month still without a single order afterwards I settled to quitting and gave the rest of the products away.
Sorry to disappoint you but it definitely did not end there lol. Naturally yours truly came to the conclusion that entrepreneurship, in fact anything concerning physically buying and selling was not for me, as a result of failing in the endeavors.
Forex now entered into the group chat.
- After making my little research, exploration and some help from my mentor, I got the hang of forex trading. As I have said a couple of times in my previous posts, it’s been an exceedingly bitter sweet experience. I have lost, I have won and I have had break evens. Like my mentor would say; “Forex is a game of gamble”.
In turn of events, it has been almost a year (the longest period of time compared to entrepreneurship or buying and selling) and I am still in the game. For some reason, I developed a soft spot for trading forex and don’t think I’ll ever quit it.
Ultimately Hive.
- After @readthisplease introduced me to this platform, I was immediately invested in it.
I never knew I had the skill to write and I am forever grateful to Hive for making me realize my hidden skill lol.
Hive wasn’t all rosy for me at the beginning due to the fact that it was somewhat difficult grasping the hang of it. I had so many questions. This is really random but I would like to use the opportunity to formally apologize to @readthisplease and thank him for his patience in gradually clarifying my challenges on this platform😩. Thank you my boss.
Now over four months later, after subsequently taking my time to explore and access this platform it has become much more easier to utilize. So far so good, I have as well developed a fondness for Hive and only taken breaks from blogging on here.
I have no desire to quit just yet. Hive really brings the zeal, creative skill and ingenuity in me and I really appreciate that. I know this is still my starting point and I look forward to everything Hive has to offer.
In essence, consistency is a challenge I am currently struggling with but hopefully with the right motivation I will overcome.
Thanks for reading my dear Hivers. It feels great to confide in you all.
Further more I would like to know, How are you?
