So when I was making my goals for the year using the Goal Achiever’s Guide, I struggled with the financial goals. I was working very hard but earning the barest minimum, less than minimum wage sef. Plus I didn’t always know where my money was going. So when I put a monthly figure I hoped to earn, I wasn’t even sure if I would hit the target or not. But, I resigned from that former place, took a few months trying to decide what to do. Got a job in an organisation based on my skills and not my certificate and I’m earning higher than even what I projected for myself (in context more than X3 of what I earned).
Yesterday I was going through my financial goals and I was in shock. I almost cried sef.
How did I get here? How did I get the courage to leave a job that wasn’t helping me grow? How did I overcome my fear of working in an establishment that isn’t after knowledge but skills?
Many times I was afraid I would be seen as an impostor but I’m getting better at those skills. I’m receiving gifts from people for my hard work left, right and centre. Money is passing through my hands and not once have I felt broke even when there was no money in my account. I also have a handwork that I’ve been so afraid to advertise but this year I’ve done a lot of work, and I’m earning from it. It’s not so much but it’s a great step for me. See, I’m so happy. I’m so, so happy.
I haven’t achieved every goal I’ve set up till now but this one has made my confidence soar. Now I’m off to set another limit for myself.
I want to say a big thank you to Neeta Rare for making me think big. – Mary John


I want to say a big thank you for the Social Skills Handbook, I had to read it AGAIN to get deeper understanding. I really learnt so much especially from Chapter 4 on Social Etiquettes
I didn’t know that in dressing, my belt should always be the same colour with my shoes. Last night I had to go check some of my pictures and to be sincere, I still have so much work to do.
Once again, I’m grateful ma’am. – Golden Richard.


I actually noticed a boost in my self confidence after taking the speak to success class. I’ve been more conscious of my self-confidence and it’s been working just like magic.
If there’s anything Ma’am Neeta Rare stands for, it’d be “Audacity” and following her will get me to that level. – Gloria J.
