I was awarded the " Top Rated " badge on Upwork in May 2020. This platform has really opened up a lot of doors for me. It has allowed me to work with the best clients across the world and I had my first interview to discuss my success with others. This is something that I wouldn't have been able to do with a regular 9-5 job . My "Top Rated" badge was earned based on great work ethic, consistency, dedication, great communication and persistence. Although the platform is seen as competitive, it opens up opportunities for persons who are willing to go the extra mile.

We all have God-given skills and talents that we can use to earn an extra income . If you dig deep, you will find it. You can watch the interview here
