My early morning rituals at work

Working in a radio station can be fun and interesting, if you are creative.

However, it can be overwhelming and cumbersome, if you don't have a pre work morning ritual.

Y'all need to have what you do before work, to make work easy and fun.

As for me, before I hit the mic to spit out the morning vibes on radio, I snap funny pictures of me and laugh over them, for like 20 minutes.

The laughter goes a long way in making me feel less tensed and getting set for work.

So guys, what are your pre work rituals?

Please share

The 21 lies our parents told us while we were growing up in Africa 😂

4. If it is raining and there is sun at the same time, it means that a lion or monkey is giving birth.

7. A mother and her son breaking firewood in the Moon as punishment, because they went to the farm on a Sunday and the Moon carried them.

Having just one source of income in Nigeria today, is a killer of destiny. Yes you heard me right!

Several years ago, when I newly started working as a newspaper journalist, I felt I had gotten to the peak of my career, as a mass communication professional.

In my mind, I knew I wanted to be a journalist at all cost, and was satisfied with the job.

I started working as a journalist and after four months, I got a promotion to become a columnist.

For those wondering how newspaper journalism works; you should be aware that becoming a columnist, was a step higher than being a reporter.

Being a columnist, meant you had mastered the art of writing as a journalist and was now a writer who rarely needed an editor.

And so, I became a columnist for five years and I was flying...But was I really doing well?

Well, I thought I was, until I started meeting other media colleagues, who were doing way better than I was.

When I became friends with these people, I realized that even though they had a main job, they also engaged in side jobs, to be able to climb the ladder faster.

Wow! This was an eye opener for me, and because of what they said, I made up my mind to test other aspects of the media, apart from newspaper journalism.

And so I began looking for ways to be featured in radio and television programs, as a a way of building myself up for the broadcast industry.

Those steps that I took then, gradually built me up, until I became confident enough to become a radio journalist.

Ever since I ventured into broadcast journalism, my income has increased and my visibility as a celebrated journalist, became easy.

So famz, can you share what made you realize you needed another side hustle? Share so others can be inspired by your story.
