America is a leveler

 

If you have been following my story you’d recall I talked about my final research on the parenting systems across different cultures and how I found the critical gaps in the African style and why our people struggle to collaborate outside Africa.

 

I threw up a free webinar on how to script a child for success leveraging on my friends here to invite their friends. I was going to use it to upsell them into a paid for program which was 250 USD. It was a successful webinar with over 80 registered people but my conversion was about 10.

 

If you are just moving abroad and things are starting slowly never give up and never forget to celebrate your little wins

 

I had not driven myself in over 10years in Nigeria and for every event I put up I had more than enough people by Nigerian standard. I was Praise in Nigeria the father of family life sector and my works defined family life professionalism but here was I selling a programs for my African brothers and I had 10 conversions but guess what? I celebrated myself and my cousin told me that was a brilliant start.

I made up my mind to give them my best across 4 weeks which I did. I never forget my journeys so I knew every great thing would start small and it will grow if you don’t give up. I have a commitment to put in my best at all times whether people pay or not.

My participants were very excited and I don’t want to tell you how that had helped. Unknown to me one of the participants had a huge youtube following but based on her personal outcomes from the class she put me on her platform and just became a major promoter of my works.

 

Everywhere I went I introduced myself in a way that you couldn’t but ask further questions as I dug myself into studying every document I could find about America and the states of Texas. I couldn’t really do much because my social security was not ready but I gave myself to study and connecting that it finally dawned on me that the key to unlocking doors in America is in the nation anthem.

 

‘A land of the FREE(dom) and a home to the BRAVE’

I knew that while all I have been told were valid I would have to define my own reality by the power of my beliefs. So I chose to go for FREEDOM to dream and BRAVERY to dare the impossible
