This pandemic has all played a major part in our lives. I always realized that no matter what situations are thrown at us in life, there is always something positive that can come out of each and every situation. I just want you to know that I am not anybody special. I am just a person that understands what needs to be done to take myself to the next level, and I know where I'm going in life.
During the midst of every crisis, always presented major opportunities. I realized that during this pandemic, it was a perfect opportunity for me to develop and work on myself, and also figure out how I can take advantage of the pandemic since I was working from home. At the time, I was dealing with a lot things mentally because my grandmother had caught COVID-19 , and I was mentally drained from work. In my heart, I felt like that God had a better and bigger plan for me that was much bigger than my job. We pray to God to gives us direction and clarity, and he does that by showing us hints that we sometimes overlook. In my heart, God told me to quit my job, but I was very nervous and scared to do that because I didn't know what was next for me. Most people quit their job after they received an offer from another company first, but I did not have anything at the time. I was more concerned about how long it would take for me to get a job. I knew I had an in demand skill set, but I wasn't sure how long things would take because of COVID-19.
My grandmother ended up passing away at the age of 98, and I also took the leap of faith and stepped away from my job. I am so happy and grateful for the support of my parents because they really helped me throughout this process since this was new to me. My mother told me to relax, and just get some rest. She said that deep down she believed that something big was coming my way really soon. Once I stepped away from my job, I felt like a monkey finally was off my back. I focused on reading several books, and personal development audios that took my life to the next level.
After conducting research, I realized that a down market is where the most opportunities and millionaires were created. Every ten years, the US economy goes through a major shift, and there are only a few people that truly take advantage.
2000 - A major Recession in the US Economy
2010 - Cryptocurrencies were introduced to the market
2020 - COVID-19, Furloughing, Companies Collapsing, Millions filed for unemployment etc.
I prayed to God that he would allow me to really be positioned around the right people and opportunities that will take my life to the next level and glorify him. It is so amazing how God answered my prayers. I ended up getting introduced to something that not only generated a lot of income while I was at home, but it aligned with exactly where the 2020 decade trend was heading. I always realized that the people that took advantage of things first always reaped the reward. A perfect example of this is bitcoin. While I was in Orlando, I met a guy who invested in bitcoin when it first came out. He is now a multi millionaire because he took advantage of crypto first. I told myself that when the next big thing come my way, I will not miss out.
In the process, I also met a lot of amazing like minded people. Because I was open-minded and took a chance on myself when I was presented an opportunity, I ended up in Austin Texas to take on a new chapter in life that God has in store for me. (Phil 4:13).
Everything finally started to make sense. God had his plan for me receive this blessing and to go out there and impact as many people as possible. I truly found the right platform and the right people to do something great. In life, I was able to become so successful by surrounding myself by the right people, treating everyone the same (even though people mistreated me badly), and by staying close to God .
It is crazy that all this has happened in a matter of weeks and next thing you know, I'm in a new city. Its almost like a reset but I’m excited to see what God has in store for me
Downtown Austin

This pandemic has truly taught me something. It really showed me that we must be willing to adapt, adjust, and align ourselves with what's going on in the world. No matter what happens, we must always have a way of creating cash-flow to take care of ourselves, our families, and our future. I learned that jobs are not loyal to us, and at any given moment, anybody can lose their job. After conducting years of research, I finally figured out certain skill-sets and lucrative industries that will be able to pay us no matter what happens in this crazy world that we live in. I'm so happy and grateful because I would have never thought that one platform would allow me to step away from my job, create a good amount of money easily and effortlessly, and connect me with amazing people that relocated me to Texas
