How Helen Paul transformed from N9,500 a month
As you reflect on your life’s journey, your accomplishments for the past year and set new goals for the New Year, remember to take care of yourself as well.
Peak Milk wanted an advert to go by 2, and they were in the studio looking for a baby’s voice.
The baby that was supposed to come was writing exams and someone said,
“Helen that useless voice you use to make noise, can we use it or see if you can do this thing?”
From the reception table, my salary was nine thousand five a month.
I remember Engineer Ayo Adeife, I will never forget him. He said,
“Helen, please can you leave your reception table for about 20 minutes?”
I said, yes.
He said, you’re very good at imitating. Can you imitate a voice? I want you to listen:
“Peak at its peak…”
Then I said, if they can buy me mineral, I will do oooo….
Brother Ayo said, they will buy you a soft drink. Don’t worry about that. Just let’s do this voice.
And I got into the studio and I started doing the Peak Milk voice.
Then they brought one paper for me to sign. I signed the paper.
What was in the paper, I don’t know…
When we finished, they bought me a soft drink and I left. Then they called me later to tell me that your money is ready, come and pick it up.
I said,
“Uncle Ayo, go and collect the money, but make sure you’re giving me money oooo! But Uncle Ayo said, no! no! no, it’s your money.
And I saw N400,000! From 9,500!”
What’s that job you’re rejecting?
Do you know if your space is there?
“So I started receiving 400,000 every month…”
Dear Champion!
As you reflect on your life’s journey, your accomplishments for the past year and set new goals for the New Year, remember to take care of yourself as well.
Meanwhile, in this season of appraisals and resolutions, ask yourself why are you here?
What is your life’s purpose?
Your life’s purpose is to be the best version of yourself. This means following your heart and not being afraid to pursue what truly matters to you.
And don’t worry, you don’t need to go to any extra effort or expense to do this — look inward.
What is that thing in you, you have been running away from?
It’s time to start manifesting your purpose.
