@trevonjb, This is a very generous and amazing initiative from you.
I would like to have it to start standing on my 2 feet in my business as a life coach.
You may wonder why bother giving me the loan to make my own business?
My argument is that this business I want to start is my life calling to help/encourage as many people as I can to realize their dreams and discover their potentials.
Why I want to do that?
Because of the fact that I had a very hard life (growing up) that left me with scars, depression and low self-esteem.
However, throughout my journey in life I met few people at different times that made a huge difference in the outcome of my future, just by virtue of encouraging me to persevere and not give up. Their support enabled me to leave my limiting country/society, travel to a new country and make the best out of my brain through education. I finished a PhD and now I am studying as a post-doctoral trainee
But at the beginning of this year, I felt that all this education so far was not enough to fulfill my desire to help other people overcome their life challenges and succeed in their future. So, I quit (cold turkey) from this post-doc to take courses in life coaching and also to start a writing career.
Of course, since I didn't plan it ahead of time, I am now facing the challenges of living jobless, while working on my certificate and strategies to make my business work.
Is your 1010 going to change my life or save me from hunger? you may ask
Maybe not, but it will give me the encouragement I need that I am doing the right thing and that i shouldn't give up on what I want to achieve for the sake of having money and a stable job (which many people are telling is the smart thing to do)
I would appreciate it very much if you would visit my blog and give me your advice if you prefer not to give me the loan. I am starting to write about my life story. You can check it in Part 1 and Part 2. More parts are coming in the future.
I hope you feel better soon :)
