Hey there, it’s Ihuoma Chukwezi, and I publish this newsletter every Thursday to help you navigate the highs and lows of business life. Let me tell you about the lessons I learnt over the years.
As our current batch of interns wraps up,I can’t help but reflect on the invaluable lessons I’ve learned along the way. My agency took on the challenge of mentoring 23 bright interns interested in pursuing digital marketing as a career, and let me tell you, it’s been quite the journey.
This internship was an opportunity I wish I had when I first started out in this field. 23 individuals made it through the interview process, but only a few made it to the end. Through working with these passionate interns, I’ve picked up several lessons I’ll carry with me for years to come.
Here are the 10 things I learned from working with them:
1. Do Not Start What You Cannot Finish:
Starting something requires commitment and if you’re not willing to put in the time and effort to finish, it’s better not to start in the first place. Completing a task is just as important as initiating it.
2. Leave Your Comfort Zone to Achieve Your Dream:
Growth happens outside of your comfort zone. If you’re serious about achieving your goals, don’t hesitate to push yourself to try new things, even when it feels uncomfortable.
3. Set Realistic Goals for Yourself and Your Business:
It’s easy to get excited and set ambitious goals, but you need to set goals that are achievable within your current capacity. Setting realistic goals keeps you focused and motivates you to push forward.
4. You Can Succeed at Anything If Only You Try:
It’s easy to feel defeated, but success doesn’t come without effort. Keep trying, even when things don’t go according to plan. Persistence always pays off in the end.
5. Working as a Team Helps You Achieve More:
Collaboration is key and working with others increases the chances of accomplishing goals that are significantly higher. Teamwork leads to shared ideas, better solutions, and faster results.
6. Having a Mentor Helps You Stay Focused and Brings Out the Best in You:
Mentorship is one of the most valuable things you can have in your career. A good mentor helps you stay focused, provides guidance, and brings out your best qualities.
7. Working with a Group Helps You Build Patience and Persistence:
Working in a group requires patience and persistence, two qualities that are invaluable in any professional setting. Understanding different perspectives and collaborating toward a common goal teaches you how to stay the course.
8. Learning Never Ends:
No matter how much you know, there is always more to learn whether through formal education or hands-on experience, keep striving to improve and expand your knowledge.
9. You Are in Control of Your Destiny:

Ultimately, the decisions you make today will shape your future. Own your choices, take responsibility for your actions, and take control of your path.
10. It’s Essential to Be Flexible:
Things don’t always go according to plan, and that’s okay. Being flexible and adaptable allows you to pivot when necessary and find new ways to succeed.
Thanks for reading, and see you next Thursday!
