In the previous post, we started 'These five things may prevent you from getting your dream job'. Here is the conclusion of that post with a short personal experience.

 

THESE 5 THINGS THAT MAY PREVENT YOU GETTING YOUR DREAM JOB AS A WOMAN

Hello,

These are five major ways women let themselves down when they are earnestly searching for a job actually, the last one is no fault of theirs). Working on the first four points will increase your chances of being employed. Let’s get to it.

WHAT DO I DO? MY FINANCIAL PRUDENCE JUST SUFFERED A SETBACK

Hello,

Wealth preservation and transfer will be the final post on the taking control of your finances as a woman series. I have contacted a lady who is very passionate about wealth preservation and transfer; pray she guests here so there can be an exchange of knowledge.

It is important to state that every post in this series is very important if you are to take control of your finances. Please read all 10 of them if you haven’t done so.

Also, it is important to share these posts with friends and family so they can encourage you in this journey, join you if they will or just be available to discourage you from splurging. 

WHAT DO I DO? MY FINANCIAL PRUDENCE JUST SUFFERED A SETBACK.

If you have been with me on this journey of taking control of your finances, you will agree with me that it has led you to the place of financial prudence. I was glad to receive positive feedback from you especially concerning the ‘practical ways to get out of debt’ and ‘Savingsas a tool in taking control of your finances’. Thank you.

You may have been written out your expenses for the previous month, drawn a budget from there, and examined every item of your expenses and effected the desired changes but one or two months, even ten months down the line, your ‘financial control’ weakens and you splurge in a moment of indiscretion, What do you do after?

WOMEN AND RETIREMENT: HOW DO I RETIRE SEAMLESSLY?

Hello,

60 is the retirement age of Nigeria's workforce. There have been arguments for the adoption of a new retirement age. Some make a case for the adoption of 65years and some others 55years, whatever happens, one thing is certain we will not work at our jobs forever.

It is very important to clear the misconception that a lot of people hold. They believe all that matters is proper planning for the moment when retire and get a lump sum called gratuity, only then they try to start the business of their dreams. The problem with this is that they may spend their gratuity learning the business of their chosen fields through common beginner mistakes.

PRACTICAL WAY TO GET OUT OF DEBT

Hello,

We have all being in one form of debt. We may have become indebted by favours done us or properties volunteered to us. We may even have been indebted for a few hours, days or months. The most important rules for being indebted can be found here (If you must be indebted, do it right).

This post focuses on the burden of having a debt to pay. If you had read the ‘previous post’ and followed it through, you may have learnt one or two things. If not, this one is for you.

TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR FINANCES AS A WOMAN: WEALTH CREATION

Hello,

Wealth creation is the deliberate multiplication of your resources. In most cases wealth creation benefits beyond the creator of wealth, the community and the economy are beneficiaries of wealth creation also.

INTERESTING READ: My Labour Story by Anita

As shared by our friend Anita, Enjoy! :-)

I woke up on the morning of Jan 8 2015, after a very troubled tiring sleep during which my baby kicked and turned all night! In retrospect, i believe he was adjusting into the birthing position.
So... I woke up... and had to use the bathroom But I was wet. So I thought to myself, "Who would have thought I would pee on myself at night???" I chuckled to myself as I remembered other mom stories of how they had pee on themselves. But this wasn't pee! No sire! My water had broken.

PREGNANCY: WHAT TO EXPECT MONTH 1 TO 9 (I INCLUDED MY EXPERIENCE)

Hello,

Every pregnancy is different but my experience may help you a great deal. I also have great pleasure sharing my experience with you. Feel free to contact me personally if you have questions or just need to assure yourself all is well with you and the baby. (pearlokoli@gmail.com)

I would also reply your comments and questions on this platform. Happy Reading!

Month One: You barely notice

I did not know I was pregnant but I noticed my skin became extra sensitive and my face was no longer clear (smooth). It was my graduation month and I was in the UK but I did not shop because I had no idea (maybe a tad lil feeling).

Month two: Some are still unaware and some other begin to feel unwell

I started to experience heavy eyes and feel a little unwell towards the beginning and excruciating stomach pains toward the end

Month Three: Majority already know, they get the symptoms. Boy! it is not Fun

This month was much like the second month only worse. I could not stand the smell of most foods. The stomach pain had me going for scans. I had to stop work

Some people are filled with strength and are relatively okay during their pregnancy. Just so you know, I envy them too and please do not judge me for having to quit my job (hahaha).

If you are just like me, it is okay to feel unwell and get tired easily when you are pregnant, do not mind naysayers

Month Four: Symptoms persist (A few get respite)

I decided to seriously pursue radio as I had worked as a radio presenter and disc jockey (DJ) in Ujima radio, Bristol (UK).

I first started 'guesting' Inspiration FM on the Friday Night Mix with Charles Dallas where I met wonderful people like Wanawana, Eyo Henry but this time I wanted my own gig. *smile*

I also was on Top radio platform joining Tosyn Bucknor's morning show (I know, you did not hear me almost at all *smile*). I did not have it nice here. *hehehe* I have come to conclude that it was my pregnancy and not that she was a rude choleric

Long story short, at 5 months plus pregnant, I realised I could not continue and took a long health break.

Month Five: More people get respite (but not me, phew!)

Now at home, I had gotten used to being cranky (when you are pregnant, those around you dont just get it... trust me, your partner may be empathetic but he would not still gerrit).

I suffered major dizzy & fainting spells and scares because most food smelled to me. I could only eat sharwama, yam, akara and traditional classics (those types of 'not everyday' meals) such as Okpa, African salad, nkwobi et al)

Let me stop here for today, I will continue from month six next and probably give you the recipe to these traditional classics in subsequent posts.

Always a pleasure to have you here, 

PEARL.
