Today is the deadline

Believe me, guys, if you are in the startup space, take this seriously.....they are serious.

W day🔥🔥🔥

I should start blogging at this rate😁

I just noticed I spent the whole day in Sharaton and didn't take a single picture 😭 like i am not interested in photos but i should have took at least one yemr🤦‍♀

Anyways, let me wrap up the day for you.

If you want to make the most of every opportunity:

- Be specific. Know exactly what you want before you walk into the room.

- Be bold. If you want something, ask for it. Believe me, people are more likely to believe in you when you're clear about what you want. Ask for the internship. Ask to be recruited. Ask for funding. And by "directly," I don't mean rudely—I mean confidently, after you've built a genuine conversation.

- Know how to talk to people. It's a skill you can't afford to ignore.

- Be prepared. Have a QR code ready that links to your portfolio, and keep your phone number, email, and portfolio easily accessible—your lock screen or wallpaper can even do the job.

- Be memorable. If you make a connection with someone you genuinely admire, ask them: "What would make you remember me?" I tried this today, and trust me, it's a question people don't forget.

- Be fearless. Don't be shy about introducing yourself, asking questions, or taking advantage of the opportunities and resources around you.

- Seize the moment. Opportunities rarely announce themselves twice.

It was a fruitful day. I connected with many people and secured some internship opportunities and chances for future work deals. I also spent a good day with Abdu (Boss).

The skill issue is hitting me on the neck. I am an outgoing person by nature; I like interacting with people, and spending the day and night staring at a black screen is not my thing. I am interested but not obsessed, and I don't want to do it for a lifetime. I am more of a project/product manager than a full-stack developer... but who cares? I have to finish what I have started. Who will be an all-nighter tonight?

So my girlies...are you coming tomorrow?

Good morning, my flowers🌹

A new day, new possibilities, and so much life waiting to be lived. Don't just get through today—be curious, take chances, make something happen, and come to the Reycast meeting so that we know each other😇.

Let's make today count.
