▪️Today while I was serving my first client of the day for some strange reason I happened to look at the date on the calendar 📆...
And I realized that exactly today, December 17th, it's been 7 years since I arrived from my native country Venezuela (I'm proud to be from there) to Lima Peru..
And I don't want this to be heard as another repeated story of migration and suffering... because since I left there everything has been progress. If you have a progressive and forward-looking mindset like me, you will understand it!!
That thought that even if things are not going very well, you always find the good in them...
In 2017, the situation in my country was totally precarious... without basic services... and an unbearable shortage of food!
That and my newborn son forced me to go to Colombia. Thanks to some contacts, I got a job and started harvesting coffee on a farm in the province of "César" that is the Colombian Guajira...
I can tell you right now that I learned everything related to coffee ☕
Something that excited me since I love drinking coffee all day long!!
And I must also say that the conditions in which the workers harvest the coffee are quite precarious..
The positive point✅
that I saw was that they paid us fairly for the day... they gave us a meal without protein but food anyway...
and we had straw mats to sleep on...
And as an additional fact, on the farm there were 30 harvesters and absolutely all of them smoked "Marijuana" ☘️..
The smell in the air was characteristic at any time of the day..
When it was our turn to pick coffee together, they did it up to 3 times faster than me... and why was this? Because they had already taken their "vitamin"..
And they got much more out of their work day.
In the end, I worked a couple of months in isolation on the farm and managed to gather a little more than 1 million Colombian pesos (approximately $300). With that I returned home and the following week I met up with a friend who already had fairly complete migration plans and I ventured towards Lima.
7 days of bus trips and the constant fear of being caught by some immigration checkpoint were the route to follow..
And we did it..
I must say that the change was radical even though they also speak Spanish here.. their dialect.. pronunciation and customs are very different from mine.
Without legal documents to identify me, I spent 10 days here looking for a job..
Until they accepted me.
I started making and delivering household cleaning products like bleach
Disinfectants and things like that..
The positive point✅
is that I learned how to make and label the formulas I have recorded in my mind and some notes in an old notebook..
If I ever return I think I will start as a manufacturer of those products since the profit percentage is very good.. it is no secret to anyone how lucrative it can be to work with water itself...
I lasted a year in that job, my back was killing me due to the excessive weight load.
Since then I have lived different experiences and met many spectacular people and others not so nice.
I have been working on my own in the sales area.. until now I have sold different products from different areas..
I have to say that Peru is the country of sales and entrepreneurs here everyone sells whatever!!
Which makes the environment very pleasant for me and I also believe that it is one of the reasons why I continue living here..
I am fortunate that during this period I have brought my wife and children.
Also my brother and recently my parents, my father in particular we brought him with the hope of operating on him since he suffers from prostate and needs urgent surgery.
And the most important thing that has happened in these last years is that through my younger brother I met the person who taught us and still continues to provide us with his knowledge of Bitcoin and financial education!!
I am certainly very grateful!! This has changed my life and my mindset in a big way..
The positive point ✅
I no longer live with my thoughts asleep, but on the contrary, I am thirsty to learn more every day, strengthen my thinking and store all this information in a good way to share with others!
And of course to teach my children the truth and for their minds and thoughts to be free...
I don't know what awaits me from now on, I will only say that I will continue to stack 💪
Tell me what your positive point is ✅??
Thank you for your comments ✅
