How My Cooking skill saved me during COVID!

There is always, always that hidden or very pronounced passion inside that we possess.ย 

Since my secondary school days I had always had passion for cooking and creating dishes. I didn't need to go cooking schools or trainings, I just had it in me(you can call it inborn).

I knew I loved to cook but never imagined making money from it. I could watch YouTube videos of food preparations and instantly grasp. I was that good.

I have always been a 9 - 5 person (Office Girl), that was the only way I knew how to make money. Fast forward to 2016 when I lost my job, 2017, 2018, 2019, COVID started, then 2020, the LOCKDOWN, it was disastrous, to say the bit.ย 

I had to look for a way to survive, businesses and shops were closed, some crumbled. A lot people couldn't go to market, shopping was a challenge for most people. That was where my think-tank skills resurrected ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜. I thought of taking advantage of this opportunity. People will pay me to shop and also cook for them๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”....Wowwww!!! This thought was refreshing. Voila!!! Cooking became my Life saver in 2020. I went online, opened shop, started advertising myself and dishes, people and homes patronised. I made a lot of money. I made soups and meals in bowls, got them delivered to homes for a fee.ย 

My passion became my job since then. I haven't looked back. This is who I am. Someday I will be the Hilda Baci and Sisi Yemi of cooking.

No one is born empty. Look inside of you, there's definitely that thing you love to do easily. You find joy doing it. Trust me, that thing can give you the life of your dreams someday. Go for it!
