I cried when nobody bought from me

Hello ,


I clearly remember a certain time in 2018 when I was setting a goal for Bake And Beads Academy.


Part of the goal was that I wanted to impact more lives through online training, I wanted to create online courses that will be taken globally stress-free!


I was already hosting physical classes and had hosted about 5-6 classes that year but it was too draining for me so I wanted to transition into virtual classes only.


But the fear of the unknown, the fear of “would anybody buy” was still gripping me, you know why? I had previously created my very first online course around 2016/17 and only one person bought.


I cried my eyes out that night😭 Imagine launching a course for 8 weeks and nobody bought until the last day you are closing the launch.


Back then online courses weren’t as common as it is now. People (especially Nigerians sadly) were skeptical about the effectiveness of online classes.


Did I give up? Almost! I almost refunded the only person that paid. But no, I didn’t. Instead, I went back to relaunch with some tweaks here and there, dotting my i’s and crossing my t’s. This time around it was a success!


Aside the Nigerian students, I also had students from South Africa, Tanzania, and Cameroon but to receive these international payments was another war, western Union people thought I was doing yahoo, story for another day!🤣


Today @bakeandbeads.academy has empowered students both men and women from over 21 countries of the world, I wake up to enrollment notifications from Sweden, UAE, UK etc (stress-free!😍).


All these are happening because I chose not to give up, so I am here today, to encourage you to keep chasing your dreams. Even if it seems like nobody has done it before and it seems difficult, stay focused, YOU ARE WINNING SOON!


Wishing you the very best!


Sugar hugs 🤗
