When we started, we got two international organisations to invite us for two concepts we submitted. Even though we did not make it to the final, i noticed our services are in great demand
What have been your biggest challenges so far with running your business?
Funding, Office Accomodation, Logistics to bring out the best of us.
Personally, I gave up on the dream because I thought it was not going to grow without all the help.
My immediate friends and family expected me to work in a corporate organisation and frankly it seems impossible, I never seem to get those jobs. I am pressured to find a job that pays me monthly.
How did you overcome these challenges?
I noticed I must look beyond such challenges and prove to others that I am capable. Success is the best revenge. My decision to make life comfortable for others keeps me looking beyond their pressures, I still look into the future with hope.
What have you found to be the most effective way to get new clients?
I have friends calling me now to tell me about projects they want me to help them/ someone with and it has been a good step.
I send request through the internet to companies that would need such services.

Keep seeing the future and prove that entrepreneurship is fulfilling. Never give up, it will work out.
How do you keep motivated through difficult times?
I depend on God, the Holy Spirit and friends who believe in my dreams.
