Making Crafts A Great Confidence Booster

I was just thinking about one of my favorite students, Nicole whose only 12 years old and the day i met her. She's a soft spoken girl so I remember when I asked her what her dreams were I had to nudge her a little bit to really  think about what she enjoys doing. 

My job is to help young girls like her take small steps towards their dreams while building  their confidence at the same time. I help them break down their goals into small little goals that can be worked on in the present. For Nicole, all she wanted was to go for a school trip that costed $100.

I then taught her a simple skill which is making name bracelets. The entire training involves learning how to create the product from start to finish, packaging it and exactly how to sell it.

I was thrilled one day to see her taking orders for name bracelets at a local get together because she needed to raise money for a school trip. I was impressed beyond words and when I introduced her as an up and coming entrepreneur she quickly corrected me stating that she was an entrepreneur!

Long story short, she made $96.5 in less than a month after I trained her and her confidence had grown by leaps! For her to speak publicly and say that she was actually an entrepreneur and not an up and coming one is testament to how simple skills taught to young people can boost their confidence tremendously.

You too can build confidence or help your daughter or son do the same. I'm working on the online training so if you're interested, sign up here.

With love from,

15 years ago, this is what I'd rather have been doing

Now, 15 years ago I was in high school maybe in form 2 or 3. Honestly, I wasn't big on school. Wasn't a bad student either. I think my dreams were so big and I couldn't quite link them to my current circumstances like how was my school work going to get me to New York fashion week in like a month or the next year. Why was I broke and how could I make a difference in someone's life in an exciting way that made me feel alive. Not cliche like things like going to volunteer in a children's home or clean up the environment somewhere nasty. I needed something that incorporated most of my interests like fashion, music, social justice, making money, travel etc all together.

I created this (Mdada) 13 years later.I hope someone out there in their teens will create a dope life in their teens because of us and because it's possible. It's the 21st century, anything is possible. Javelin record holder Julius Yego learnt his skill from watching videos on YouTube! I think it's about time we had more young people doing cool things like setting up businesses that express their interests, solving community problems and achieving amazing things, living a life so dope it's exciting and fulfilling. Lemme just say that young people have one asset called TIME that could totally make their lives rock especially if we're talking about money and compound interest! These are the gems I wish I knew about when I was in high school, maybe I could have sacrificed those buns and invested in my dreams /o\. It's all good though.  I'm excited about helping young people achieve amazing things and change the world. I'm living vicariously through them ;p
