It's often good to meet in a group once in a while, it helps to encourage each other and also to give some necessary assistance and corrections.
How it started.
An old hiver who has not shopped for months reached out to me to say that she wanted to shop at Chiefomart, I dropped a chart on our WhatsApp group, and others who were interested also came for the shopping at Chiefomart.
Before then I had plans of hosting a workshop at @blbeautyhome that I listed the day before yesterday, I got my workshop items ready which included my T-shirt, banner, and fliers, we agreed that I come to her shop by 11 am and I worked with the time we agreed, I came back and got ready, I was so excited because it's been a long time I hosted a workshop and onboarded newbie, it has really been challenging to get new users onboard.
By 10:45am I called her to confirm my visit, unfortunately, she was very sick and didn't have the strength for anything, as a shop owner she has to be active during the workshop, she needs to learn how to generate receipts from the hive keychain, she also needs to understand some other basic things on the distributor app, so the workshop couldn't hold and that really made me sad.
During the evening shopping , everyone shopped and claimed their cash back, and we spent a total of 52 hbd at Cheifomart. It was fun.
After shopping, we got some beautiful pictures of ourselves, and we sat down and had some discussion.
Newbies will always have questions about the hive, they asked lots of questions and we looked into ways to make more progress on the hive

After our discussion that lasted for more than our hour they went home happy.
Its very challenging to get business and users here in Lagos, it's even becoming more difficult because the day is becoming tougher, and people don't have time to even listen, but what annoys me most is the fact the economy of my country is not too good, everyone needs this cashback but unfortunately the secular job we have around us have turn workers to slaves, they don't even have time for themselves, this has really frustrated many and has made them even when you approach them with something good they will not have time for it.
The workshop was postponed, I reached out to @blbeautyhome today to know how she's fairing but she wasn't available, so I will have to wait till she gets better, then I will now go ahead in the workshop.
I believe her shop will help me onboard more hivers because people who come around to Beautify themselves are not always in a hurry, they take much time to get their nails and pedicure done.
In summary I will say that the life of an entrepreneur is not an easy one, to succeed an entrepreneur most Brian Storm, think deep and come up with ideas.
No matter the challenges am an entrepreneur, I have to make spendhbd project a successful one in Lagos state so I will keep trying different methods.
Thank you everyone,
