Today I give glory to God as I share a milestone that once felt out of reach. In 17and half months, I reached R1,006,170.00 through digital marketing sales, bot sales, trading and community earnings. In all my years working at the bank, I had never earned this much in a 17-month period. In March 2024, my husband passed away. I found myself raising our four children while grieving and facing financial hardship. I was a widow who was broke, and there were days when I wondered how I would provide for my family. I knew I needed to start somewhere. In March 2025, I started learning digital marketing. My first program brought in zero sales. I kept learning, joined Automation Masters and made my first sale of R2,500 on 6 May 2025. That sale gave me the confidence to keep showing up and putting what I was learning into practice. Through Zenith Forex and Automated Shield, I continued learning about the financial markets and the funeral policy, gained experience trading with bots. I’m also grateful for Skool and XOXA Social. Each of these communities played a part in helping me build my business and reach this milestone. Then, in January 2026, I faced another difficult season. I had to move out of two homes within three months. By March, I felt like my life was falling apart. The upheaval took me straight back to March 2024. So much came flooding back at once, and it felt like I was carrying the whole world on my shoulders. The moves disrupted my business, and April 2026 came and went before I reached the million-rand goal I had put on my vision board. I kept going, doing what I could each day to serve my customers and keep the business moving. Looking back, I say the devil was busy reading my vision board and trying to keep me from reaching that goal on time. But God in heaven had a vision board of His own, one no one else could read. I see His hand in the doors that continue to open and in the work I get to do today.
