ProWriters Hub Week 7: Journey of a thousand miles begins with a step: A true life story
“Ladies and Gentlemen, with a standing ovation, let’s congratulate the final award for 25 under 25 CEO… Favor Amadi.”
If someone had told her years ago that she would be the one accepting an award, she would have laughed at their faces.
She, just a little girl of 25 making waves in the cutthroat media industry.
5 years ago, it had been a dream come true when she started her agency as a solopreneur, now she had at least 10 people working directly under her.
Her best friend rushed to hug her exuberantly as she walked up to the stage to collect her award.
People shook her hands, tapped her, and hailed her.
‘Go girl, you did it someone beside her said.
Today, I dedicate this award to God for being a light and to my mum for being my strength and to every girl who has a dream, hold onto it, they can become reality.
People who knew her confirmed that her success was of one who determined to never give up.
As she went back to her seat, she went down memory lane to the success she has become now.
Favor’s mom came into Lagos in 2007 with nothing. With an assurance that they will get help from her uncle but unfortunately, they were disappointed, he had told them she could fend for them together with his family. That was not a piece of news they were expecting to hear at all.
That began their misery, in the day the two would hawk in the park and in the evening finds solace under the bridge or any empty building or closed shop.
Realizing that survival was slim in the city, her grandmother insisted they come back to the village. At least, they would have a place to sleep and food to eat every day.
Things became better in the village. She was able to resume her studies.
Seeing all that her mother went through, She sword within herself that she will do everything it takes to make something good out of life. She was determined to be successful in whatever she would do.
She believed she could achieve her desires, her only problem was how she would get started.
Her friend introduced her to the power of social media and how she could leverage it to build a brand.
With that knowledge, she started building a brand across social media platforms on Facebook, Instagram, tik tok, and LinkedIn
Through social media, she started promoting businesses, and brands and selling people products.
Through these services, she become known and started gaining visibility, and people started seeking her services to handle their businesses online.
When demands became much, she employed other people to help her run her media agency business.
And now, she is getting an award as an under-25 CEO.
If she had continued to make excuses, would she be getting an award?
If she had not made a move to take charge of her future, would she have been successful?
No! It only takes a determined move to make a beautiful journey.
