I’ve finally given up on Upwork 😭 I’ve tweaked my profile, revamped it, added portfolios I’ve literally done everything on that app, but I still haven’t gotten a single job. Or is there something I’m still not doing right? 🥲

No amount of love will make me marry a man whose mother hates me.

Most people think CRM migration is just uploading a CSV. It's not. Before the data even comes in, the system has to be built to receive it correctly. This week I worked on a GoHighLevel data migration for a real estate agency: ✅ Custom fields created before import ✅ CSV mapped and imported cleanly ✅ 3 Smart Lists built to sort leads automatically by source and intent ✅ Test contact verified everything works The import takes minutes. The structure behind it is what actually makes the CRM work. Building systems that don't just store data but make it useful. Big thanks to @FikeDove and @wittyautomation for every impactful class

Google made $350B last year from your searches. OpenAI hit $300B from your prompts. You got $0. @Robocorpco looked at that and built an entirely different system. One where YOUR knowledge pays YOU. Here’s how it works. 🧵 And you get 10.00 DAAC when you sign up …

What if one tool could replace almost every app you use to run your business? That is @gohighlevel. And this week I went inside it. Here is what I learned: ✅ GHL is an all-in-one CRM platform. Contacts, SMS, email marketing, calendars, landing pages, funnels, websites, forms, invoicing, pipelines, membership sites, social media scheduling. All in one place. ✅ The Conversations inbox lets you track WhatsApp, email, and SMS messages without leaving the platform. One inbox. Every channel. ✅ The Calendar is solid. You and your client can both book appointments, choose a venue, and you can create different calendars for different purposes. ✅ You need at least one contact or team member on the account before you can create a calendar event. You cannot assign an event to nobody. ✅ Smart Lists help you organise your contacts and attach tags. Clean, structured, searchable. ✅ Contact imports must be in CSV format. Not CSV? Convert it first. ✅ If your import file has an error, data migration will not go through. GHL tells you exactly what is wrong. Fix it, then try again. The more I explore this tool the more I understand why so many businesses run entirely on it. Shoutout to @FikeDove and @wittyautomation for another practical session. Still learning. Still sharing.

One reason Indians are so successful on Upwork is their pricing and the insane number of agencies they've built. Those agencies create opportunities for other Indians, helping more people gain experience, land projects, and grow faster. In Nigeria, most of our idols want to sell courses or build personal brands. Very few are building agencies that create jobs and open doors for others. The number of Indian agencies on Upwork is massive, and that network effect has helped a lot of their people succeed on the platform. We seem to love the solo hustle, but if we're serious about catching up, we need more builders creating opportunities for others. Right now, we're still far behind. Hopefully some of you guys can come together build an agency and hire some freelancers while they learn from you they gain experience and they become global talents.

What a weird way to look at it. Manner don't drop from heaven again. A lady on Twitter bought me a good laptop 2 years ago, and I used that laptop to make over $20k( this my 2nd year in the tech space) and currently still using it. I was too broke to afford it. After experiencing the opportunity a good laptop gives you. That's why I bought 2 laptops for random people here on X lasted year and hopefully I can do that this year. Not because a laptop guarantees success, but because it removes a major barrier and prepares you for opportunities when they come. Nobody is saying a laptop guarantees a job. A laptop doesn't automatically create opportunities. What it does is put you in a better position to access them. The difference between trying to build a career on a phone and on a laptop is huge. When my laptop got damaged, I panicked because I was broke and had to rely only on my phone. I quickly realized that "locking in" on a phone is completely different from locking in on a laptop. With a laptop, you can apply for jobs faster, learn more effectively, attend interviews professionally, work on multiple tasks at once, use tools that simply don't work well on mobile, organize your workflow better, and reduce distractions. It helps you show up consistently. A laptop is not the destination. It's a tool. But for many people trying to break into tech or remote work, it's one of the most important tools they can have. And you people should stop acting like manner will drop from heaven.

You do not need five tools to build a working automation system. Airtable is not just a spreadsheet tool. I just built a full request management system inside it. No third-party tools. No extra integrations. Just @airtable (Note: All data shown in the screenshots is fictional and used for demonstration purposes only. No real personal information was used) Here is what most people miss about automation: It is not about the tool. It is about understanding what actually needs to happen. Someone submits a request. But who gets notified? Submission comes in. But does the person who sent it know it was received? Status changes. But does anyone tell the submitter? Those gaps are where things fall apart. So before I built anything, I answered those questions first. Then I built the system around the answers. Now: ✅ Form submission notifies the admin instantly ✅ Submitter gets an automatic confirmation email ✅ Every status change triggers an update to the submitter ✅ Priority levels keep the team focused ✅ Last Updated tracks every change automatically One tool. Three automations. Zero manual follow-ups. Big thanks to @FikeDove and @wittyautomation or every amazing session.

Still on this @airtable journey and week 2 just hit different. Last week was eye-opening. This week went even deeper. Here is what stood out: ✅ One form per table. You can create more but it is not advisable. Your results will get scattered and confusing. ✅ A record is automatically created when a form is submitted. Adding one manually is just a duplicate. ✅ You can preview your automation result before it goes live. Always test it before it runs for real. ✅ You have a monthly automation limit. Stack your actions in one automation wisely instead of creating many for the same goal. ✅ "When a record is created" is a stronger trigger than "when a form is submitted." Manual entries exist too. Choose the trigger that covers all your entry points. ✅ Conditional logic inside one automation keeps things clean and efficient. Less clutter, more power. ✅ The "At a scheduled time" trigger opens up a whole new way of thinking about workflows. ✅ Interfaces let you run an entire operation without ever touching the base. Filter, hide fields, freeze fields, add records through a form. Everything in one place. Shoutout to @FikeDove and @wittyautomation for continuing to make this such a practical learning experience. Still learning. Still sharing.

I disagree. Living with your parents can actually be one of the biggest advantages you have, depending on your situation. For me, one of the reasons I've been able to get to where I am today from practically nothing is because I live with my parents. The startup I'm currently building and preparing to launch would be much harder to build if I was worrying about rent every month. Living with your parents gives you security. Not just financial security, but emotional security too. There's always something to fall back on. My mom can literally walk into my room and hand me something to eat. It sounds simple, but those little things matter. There is always food around, there is always support, and there is always family close by. Because I don't have to spend most of my income on rent and survival, I can take risks. I can invest more time into building things. I can focus on long-term goals instead of constantly worrying about short-term expenses. I work from home, so I don't spend much on transportation. I don't spend hours commuting. My major concerns are minimal compared to what they would be if I were carrying the full weight of independent living right now. (All you need is to create boundaries) It also gives me more flexibility in my relationships. I can save more money, spend more intentionally, and focus on building meaningful connections instead of constantly stressing about bills. One thing people don't talk about enough is that having a strong support system allows you to take bigger risks. When you know you have something to fall back on, you're more willing to start a business, learn a new skill, switch careers, or pursue opportunities that may not pay off immediately. That doesn't mean everyone should live with their parents. Different situations require different decisions. In fact, this is why I always tell people not to follow my advice blindly. What works for me may not work for you. Everyone has different family dynamics, responsibilities, goals, and opportunities. But I don't see living with your parents as something to be embarrassed about. If it's helping you save money, build your future, stay close to family, and create opportunities that wouldn't otherwise be possible, then it might be one of the smartest decisions you can make.

My spark never left anyway, I was just good at hiding it😌

Being an over-thinker and working from home is stressful because I also think about "what if I lose this job", "what if I don't get a second job". Yooo I just need peace.

The urge to give Upwork another try… Maybe this time will be different. Just maybe

Some people see me as a church girl, some think I’m a bad girl. Some think I’m too serious, others think I’m too playful. Some think I hate men, some think I love them too much. And honestly, I kind of like that people see me differently.

Deep down I'm just hoping all these struggles leads to somewhere meaningful.😔🙏
