One of the things I did this year that I'm genuinely proud of. Early this year, @EddyConsult and I were talking about opportunities, and he said something that got me intrigued. I quote: “Look for a business around your area and try to invest, then see the results.” It sounded like cruise at the time, but I took it seriously. 😂 Fast-forward to a few months ago. There's this woman around my area who sells fruit salad. I've been buying from her for a while, so we weren't strangers. One day, I decided to ask her how much she'd need to take her business to the next level and how much she was making. Initially, she was skeptical, but she eventually opened up. I asked how much she could give me monthly as returns if I invested in her business. She told me an amount, and honestly, I didn't negotiate or try to bring it down. I asked for her account number, supposedly to pay for the fruit salad I'd just bought, and sent her the money. 😂 The tears, the happiness, the emotions... it was something else. Fast-forward to the first month she was supposed to pay me my returns. I was surprised when she sent me more than we had agreed. I didn't collect it. I told her to keep the money and reinvest it into the business. In fact, I stopped buying directly from her because she became uncomfortable collecting money from me whenever I wanted to buy fruit salad. But here's the part that gets me emotional. Her business is doing well. I've received nothing for myself from the investment so far, but seeing the business grow and knowing that I played a part in it makes me genuinely happy. And now, I can confidently say that I've helped make a whole family whole again. I'm literally crying as I type this. 😂😭 Sometimes, you don't need millions to make a difference in someone's life. Sometimes, all it takes is seeing an opportunity, trusting someone, and deciding to help. I might not be where I want to be yet, but one thing is certain: I won't quit, and I'll always try. Thank you, @EddyConsult, for that little piece of advice. You probably didn't know how far it would go, but it went further than you imagined. And I believe there's so much more good to come.
