Moving forward // loh 249

By oyebola on 8/4/2025

If I start to think about everything that I have been through in the past it will be hard for me to move forward. So, I always like to let go of the past and focus on the future.

There was a time I started a business of my own and it was going smoothly until the day i travelled to go get some stuff to sell when I was heading back home, i was robbed and my phone was stolen. That phone was full of my customers contact, I lost almost everything and I was left with few one's that I save on my Gmail.

I didnt give up,i was still pushing and trying to get new customers but it wasnt easy. I had to go all around to let people know what i sell and to get new customers, that was when i realized that being a business owner is not for the weak.

This particular business was my first and I have achieved some of the goals I set for my business but unfortunately I lost my phone that is full of my constant customers contact and i ended up stopping. I didn't even do it for A year because It was in the process I when to serve. I had plans to continue but it was hard for me to navigate.

So,when I remember this particular scenario,I'm always motivated to keep moving forward and to try new things. i believe there are a lot of opportunities ahead of me.

This is nice. Because it doesn't work out or because things didn't go as planned doesn't mean we should stop. We should also learn from our past mistakes I know that by now you would start saving contacts on your Gmail.

Sorry to hear you lost all your contacts in the phone, future reminder is to store and back up numbers elsewhere.

Big lesson learned not relying on single source, when computers first made an appearance training always included 3 x back up drives, a weekly, a monthly, an annual after tax. The Annual with Monthly back ups stored (those days) in rented bank box, Weekly was taken off site by a selected Member.

Really hope you start the business up again.

That's terrible. Considering that many of us have vital information on each of our phones let alone depend our livelihood on them. And a lesson learned to back up or phone information and data on a regular basis. !LADY
