Funke Akindele, a Nollywood actress, has talked about the sacrifices she made to become successful.
Akindele disclosed in a recent media interview that she had to give up a lot of things in order to reach her current level of achievement.
She revealed that she spent three years isolating herself inside Amen Estate in order to develop her business and a number of items that are now her pride.
She said, “Hard work is hard work. You work hard, putting in the work when you need to, depriving yourself of things many will go after so as to achieve the success you are aiming for.
“When I say hard work, I mean locking myself away in Amen Estate for three years building the Jenifa brand, working on Industreet, Aiyetoro, My siblings and I, and other content. I deprived myself of vacations, parties, events, no friends, nothing, just me and my team, working tirelessly, creating and working hard to achieve the success many now see. So, when I say putting in the hard work, I don’t just say that carelessly, I mean putting in the real hard work.
“When I am on the set of my films, I am not a diva, I am everywhere and very hands-on, no wig, just on my rough corn rows, working hard and seeing that everything is in perfect order. I go through all that till work is done, and then we can now start preparing for marketing and all the glam and dancing. So, it’s hard work that turns into success.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
