How to become Independent

Freedom is NOT Free

Independence doesn't only mean no one rules you or tells you what do

But it also means no one supports you.

Before you claim the country's Independence are you independent.

Everyone Wants Independence but no one is willing to work for it , they think it's free

The day l new Freedom was not Free was the day l decided to walk away from my father's home.

I had only 3000 ugandan shillings in my pocket that's less than a dollar and l was 19 years.

And something in me was telling me

- l need Freedom,

- l need to look for my destiny,-

- l am a man,

- l need to go and support my self.

- How will l turn 20 while not at school yet still , at home

- I can't continue to eat food l have not contributed to

Disclaimer: if you can from a rich family please stay home stay at school at 19 , if tuition is there study but if you have no choice, let's continue

I moved to the nearest town , there l met my ob who hosted me for the first weeks of my journey.

But l realised quickly that since am not at my father's home,

I have to look for food , l have to look for where to sleep.

As a boy who had just finished high school . I can't go for any high paying job.

I have to look for street jobs ,to cut the long struggle short, l landed a mobile money Attendant job. Paying me 50,000 per month. ( that's roughly 15 dollars)

It's not enough to feed on for even 2 weeks add on paying rent ,

I rented grass tashed house at 15,000 ugx. It could only fit in a bed.

That the time l learnt l cant aford to have 3 meals a day .

By that time l had a cracked pop 3 phone , so at work l got addicted to watching educational youtube content .

The Channels that made me belief l can really change where .

1. Success Secrets tv: this one made me fall in love with enterprenuership ' its from this channel that l promised my self to build a successful company or die trying to"

2. Think Media : this channel tought me about everything l know about youtube " l remember joining one of their paid class " that encouraged me to pull out my techno pop 3 to start recording youtube videos in the grass tashed house

That was the beginning of my enterprenuership journey, l started a Youtube called it " Mobile money Jibril " my idea was to teach people who want to start the business how to do it

It made me more that $10,000 dollars

Fast forward l knew l left home because my father could not take me to university

But because l grew up this boy who loved studies l can now take my self and help afew people with their fees.

Am not where l promised my self to be . Am still on my journey

But

As a person your first independence starts from breaking away from the chains of help around you.

Its had but its the only way.

If you can't count on yourself you will never be independent

First is:

To looking for Survival , how can you feed yourself

How can you pay rent .

If you figure those then go for what you believe you need to do ,

Mine is enterprenuership , and education ,

Once you can afford it go for it .

If you cant ask yourself : How can l afford it .

Remember : Sometimes the best way to help yourself is not in asking for help.

Thank you

I love you
