Description

10 days to payday.
My bank balance read: £20.43.
I had two choices — panic, or plan.
As a migrant student in the UK, things get real fast. Rent. bills. Transport. Family back home.
So I asked myself:
“What can I offer right now — using what I already know?”
I started with a simple WhatsApp status:
“Let me fix your CV.”
In 3 days, I got:
3 clients
2 referrals
That offer became a brand.
That WhatsApp status became a lifeline.
And today, I help others use their natural skills to stay afloat and build something they own.

What I learned:
People pay for clarity. Period.

What you can do:

Don’t wait for a job to use your skills

Start small. Be consistent.

Let survival teach you strategy
