Explore the chapters of my journey to discover the motivations behind my words.


I've always been drawn to challenges, and they have been a constant companion throughout my life. From a young age, I encountered obstacles that tested my abilities. In my early high school years, I struggled with English exams, unable to pass them. As I dedicated myself to improving my English skills, another challenge arose: math exams. Each step forward came with a new hurdle, but I refused to let obstacles prevent me.







Let's embark on a journey into my writing endeavors. In early 2020, I returned home after spending two years working abroad.?

The world stood poised for an unwelcome and unforeseen event: the global outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, where my home country imposed tight quarantine measures, restricting its residents' movements. I found myself facing a surplus of time and a desire to channel my knowledge, skills, and resources into something meaningful.


Amid the uncertainty, my focus shifted to what lay ahead, determined not to let the pandemic stall my progress. I immersed myself in daily newsletters, articles, and books, eager to discover new avenues to apply my skills. It was during this exploration that an article published on CNBC's MakeIt caught my eye and resonated deeply with me.


The CNBC Makeit piece , which was linked with a video featuring fresh college graduate Michael Hood , captured a pivotal moment. At that moment, Michael posed a question to the legendary investor Warren Buffet: which skill does he recommend young people focus on?


Warren's response resonated deeply within me: "Invest in yourself. Hone your communication skills, both written and verbal, to become worth 50 percent more than you are now."


Those simple yet powerful words reverberated in my mind, igniting a spark that would forever change the course of my life and career.?





As my close friend is the pen and notebook where I used to write thoughts about life, work, and challenges that came to mind, I decided to work on this part to start writing about things related to my experience and finance background.?


The question loomed: how could I put them to work? Despite my writing being for my own eyes only, my writing skills were awful in every sense of the word; even text messages with my friends were a source of frustration due to my poor writing skills. It was time to transform my writing and rise above the limitations.




Determined to improve my writing skills, I delved into a book called “The Complete Guide to Article Writing ” by Naveed Saleh This invaluable resource took me on a journey through the history of writing, grammar, punctuation, and the art of structuring articles. I dedicated myself to daily reading and practice, and after a month, I proudly completed the book, equipped with newfound knowledge and skills.


?

I didn't stop my learning process there. After I finished the first book, I embarked on a journey of online courses to further enhance my knowledge and skills. With constant practice, I sought opportunities to monetize my newfound expertise. To do so, I read The book 'How to Make A Living With Your Writing: Books, Blogging, and More' , which truly opened my eyes to the possibilities ahead.


Guided by the wisdom of Joanna, the book author, and the invaluable resource of ‘the Make a Living Writing' website, my learning adventure soared to new heights. I eagerly dove into the works of financial writers, immersing myself in their daily articles. I compiled a list of skilled writers and explored their extensive portfolios with full attention to detail, analyzing their past contributions. To match their writing style, I carefully copied around 50–60 articles by hand, allowing their words to leave a lasting mark on my craft.


After thoroughly studying and analyzing the writer's work, I began crafting my pieces, ensuring they met the professional standards set by the writer I admired. This meticulous process spanned several weeks as I honed my skills and produced samples worthy of presenting to marketers and editors in the hopes of securing opportunities to have my work published on reputable websites.



I turned to Google in search of opportunities for free guest posts by typing in phrases like 'Write for us' and 'Free guest post.' Despite sending around 30 emails, I received no response, which left me feeling frustrated and uncertain about my skills. knowing that I had been seeking free opportunities, solely desiring a platform to showcase my work.




After two weeks, a glimmer of hope appeared in my email inbox—a response from one of my favorite websites, 'FXstreet .’ The surge of emotions I felt was outstanding. Finally, someone recognized my potential and was willing to publish my work. The opportunity to be featured on their esteemed website was a dream come true. It was a day that will forever hold a special place in my heart—a day that marked the end of a long and difficult wait.



Upon gaining acceptance to publish on their reputable website, I was bestowed with a profile that empowered me to freely share my content, subject to the discerning eye of editorial approval. This article stands as a cherished testament to my early days, a humble yet significant milestone in my journey as a writer.


Thus concludes the first chapter of my writing adventure. I hope it has provided valuable insights. If you seek assistance in crafting your own story, do not hesitate to reach out. I wish you all the best on your path of success and discovery.
