HOW I STARTED MY ONLINE BUSINESS IN ZAMBIA I was looking for an alternative stream of income, tired of just surviving and living month end to month end. Many times my salary was spent before I even received it and my debt was on a steady incline. I took a situation and trend analysis and I was able to see that I needed to change things drastically if I were to break away from my trajectory. In my search for something that would allow me to generate income outside of my time in the office, there were many options online. Typically in Zambia I did not know where I could work 2 jobs or have a business on the side that worked for me ( I should say here that I have tried various options) but the common ones of trading or network marketing were not very easy for me. I knew I needed specific solution that would help me grow my skills and generate income.
I then begun to study and learn My learning was in the form of research, I searched how people earn additional income, how to get out of debt. I quickly begun to grow in knowledge and this made me hungry for more.

Before I begun this program, I kissed a few “frogs” I tried many solutions online that on the face of it seemed to provide what I was looking for and I have lost money on such schemes. Please avoid any thing that seems to promise reward without any work. They simply do not work. As I engaged even more deeply in self- development I learned skills that helped me avoid debt but I was also better able to spot false schemes. Download free boot camp training here by accepting the free boot camp training at the top of this page One lesson that has been my favorite since I stumbled upon it is, “if you want more you need to become more” The desire for me to earn more at this point was on overdrive as I begun to see the economy slowly working against me but my needs where not reducing. To the point where my source of income was completely dried up
Do it hard I found an interesting ink online and for the first time it didn’t sound too good to be true, it lined up with my desire to learn but also provided a way to generate income. My heart settled, for the first time the sea of my emotions was still and i had clarity on the decision I needed to make. The cost to start was not high but felt like much because of my situation, but I was determined. I took a leap of faith I enrolled to study and learn methods I now employ in other businesses I am running. It has been life changing. I went at it like my life depended on it( my life really did depend on it) I had no income and I had no choice. So I learned, burnt the midnight oil and begun to understand it – its pretty simple. What made it even easier was I wasn’t alone.
