Dear entrepreneurs, I started sharing a story last week and I'll give the rest of the story today. It was more like that essay we were asked to write in Secondary School about “The Day I will never forget!” Mine was about how I went to a restaurant and ordered food without checking the menu, particularly the prices! So what did I do to save my face? Guys!!! If there's anything you must have in life, have rich friends! Thank God I did. Cos what would I have done? So, after I finished eating, I saw the bill and my heart skipped a beat. My body temperature rose immediately too. It wasn't even funny at all. For those of you who thought I would have washed the plates at that restaurant to make up for the money I owed. I'm sorry to disappoint you!😂🤣 I called a friend and explained my plight and she transferred the money to my account immediately. That was how my God did not shame me. That is the end of my story. My advice to you all is to check your account balance before going anywhere so that you won't find yourself in a situation similar to mine. Here’s what I have for you this week:
