If you’re juggling a full-time job and a side hustle, this post is for you. I’m kicking off a 5-Day Sales Challenge to move my remaining stock — one final dera — and build selling momentum, confidence, and consistency along the way.
There’s a unique kind of courage required in sales — especially when you’re approaching someone you’ve never met, hoping they’ll say yes to what you’re offering. But that’s the hustle many of us live daily: trying to grow something small into something sustainable.
🧵 Only one dera left!

Why I’m Doing the 5-Day Sales Challenge
Sales and targets go hand in hand. A target gives you direction, motivation, and a sense of accomplishment. I’ve decided to sell the last dera in my current stock this week — not just for the money, but to prove I can consistently show up and take action.

I’m drawing inspiration from my microfinance days, where we’d pitch tents in busy estates or markets and introduce our products to complete strangers. We were taught to create our own traffic — a lesson I’m applying again now.
This week, I’m stepping away from comfort zones and excuses. I’ll use 15 to 30 minutes daily to talk to new people in person and online.

Day 1 – Set the Tone (Monday)
🎯 Talk to 1 new person.

Why This Challenge Matters
The 5-Day Sales Challenge isn’t just about selling one dera — it’s about building daily habits, facing fears, and staying accountable. It’s about stretching beyond comfort zones and realizing you don’t need perfect conditions to start making progress.
📍 If you’re working on a side hustle, consistency is your best tool.

The Marketplace Belongs to the Bold
Sales isn’t luck — it’s consistent, intentional effort. Whether you’re selling cakes, clothes, insurance, or books, you need to show up, speak up, and follow through.
Bold doesn’t mean fearless — it means taking action while scared.
