My Barbing Hustling Experience @uwemudo01
Glad to be here again, glad to know that an amazing community like this is here on the hive platform. I hustle for a living so I will be so glad to always update you guys on my daily hustling journey. This is my second post on the hive platform and my first post to the #hivehustler community, it's all about my Barbing Hustling in Uyo.
My Experience:
I started barbing professionally in 2020, and the experience in these past years hasn’t been all rosy. I would term it a bitter sweet experience in the sense that while they’ve been sweet moments in my journey, they have also been
bitter ones too, and ironically that’s how life is generally.
As early as 7am I am already headed to the shop cause my people say time is money and you’ll be surprised how many customers you can get as early as that period, so I can’t let that opportunity pass me by because I am still asleep on my bed by that time.
Some days the customers are few and apart from the fact that I wouldn’t make reasonable money that day, the customers also makes the place lively as they do come with gist, gossips, political talk, soccer analysis, new means of income “like how I got to know about hive”, some customers are also funny and they can be very hilarious with how they think, talk or do things all these makes my shop less boring.
Some days I can have a lot of customers that I’ll need to hire an extra hand to attend to other customers, so that’s how it goes sometimes, as you may know, you will have to be standing for hours and you know how your waste will tell.
Extra Challenge:
For me, doing all of this every day had become normal for me but just as I was minding my business, I discovered that, my neighbor has been developing some personal issues with me,
Recently I had an issue with my neighbor and till now I am still dumbfounded about how people can be wicked, jealous and heartless at the same time. Because of the unreliable electricity supply in the country I have a generator I use when they ain’t electricity available.
Can you imagine I was halfway through barbing my customers hair and all of a sudden my neighbor left her shop and turned off my generator claiming that my generator was disturbing her, like the audacity and the fact that I’ve been using this generator since 2020 without issue, but she just had to be unfortunate one Friday evening like that, claiming my generator was disturbing her.
I was very angry that day, I told my friends about it and I was getting several advice from them but as God will have, the fight is not my fight, l left it in the hand of God, am glad God is doing well.
