 The Day I Learned How to Really Find Money


Introduction

Growing up, I used to think money came from luck, rich families, or big jobs. But one day, I sat down and looked at my own life and I realized something. Money doesn’t just find you. You have to learn how to find it.

Let me tell you a story that changed how I see money forever.

The Story: Eight Lessons That Opened My Eyes

1. It Starts With a Skill

A few years ago, I had a small camera, no studio, and zero clients. But I loved taking photos. I kept learningYouTube videos, free practice, asking friends to model for free. Slowly, I noticed something: people started to ask me, “How much do you charge?”

That’s when I learned money follows skill. If you solve a problem, someone will pay you.

2. Use What You Already Have

Many people say, “I’ll start when I get better gear or a loan.” But that’s a lie we tell ourselves. I started with what I had: a phone, daylight, and free editing apps. I turned basic tools into professional work.

Start with what’s in your hands. Don’t wait.

3. Money Follows Value

One day, a small business owner asked for a short video for his shop. I made it simple, clean, and shared it online. He got more customers. A week later, he called me back for another video, this time with a payment.

If your work helps others win, they’ll pay you for it.

4. Go Where the Money Is

I realized some events (like weddings, conferences, or graduations) always need media coverage. So I started showing up. I offered deals, brought my camera, networked with people. Before long, I had regular gigs.

Lesson? Don’t sell water in a flood. Sell it in a drought. Find where services are needed most.

5. Build Real Relationships

At a wedding I covered, I met a graphic designer. He later introduced me to another client. That client introduced me to two more.

The people you know can lead you to money faster than any ad. Talk to people. Build trust.

6. Stay Consistent

It wasn’t easy. Some months, I got no calls. Other months, I had too many. But I kept going. I improved. I upgraded my style. I didn’t stop.

Consistency is the secret weapon. Money loves people who don’t give up.

7. Multiply, Don’t Just Rely

As I kept growing, I learned to sell photo prints, design posters, and even teach beginners. That way, if one income slowed down, the others kept flowing.

Never rely on one stream. Create different ways money can reach you.

8. Keep Learning

I used to think skill alone was enough. But I started reading about business, marketing, pricing, and even customer care. That changed everything. I became more professional and people noticed.

Knowledge adds value to your skill. Never stop learning.

Conclusion: Money is Looking for You Too

Finding money is not about chasing it,

it’s about becoming a person money wants to find. That means learning, practicing, solving problems, and staying consistent.

You don’t need to be born rich to succeed.

You just need to start, stay focused, and keep adding value.

That’s how I found moneyand you can too.

The Unexpected Moment That Made Me a Videographer

The Unexpected Moment That Made Me a Videographer Have you ever had one small moment change your whole life? I didn’t plan to become a videographer. I didn’t grow up with expensive cameras or dream of directing movies but I used to do simple photo shoots like swamp shoots for students. In fact, my story begins in the most ordinary place you can imagine a small neighborhood shop where they sell translated movies. Yes, that’s right. The kind of shop where people gather to buy action films in local language, chat about new releases, or just kill time. That’s where I used to hang out. Not because I worked there, but because it was my favorite place to be. The vibe was always good, people passed by all day, and there was always something happening. But I had no idea that one simple visit to that shop would open the door to my future. A Stranger Walks In It was an average afternoon. I was sitting quietly as usual when an older man entered the shop. He looked calm but serious, hol...

Irakoze story: Byiringiro Olivier Discovering a Voice Without Words In a small, quiet neighborhood on the edge of Kigali, there lived a girl named Irakoze. She was 14 years old, and very silent. Not because she had no voice, but because words didn’t come easily to her. In class, she hardly raised her hand. At home, she kept to herself. People assumed she was shy, or even strange. But Irakoze wasn’t silent because she lacked something—she was silent because she saw things differently. One rainy afternoon, while exploring her late uncle’s old belongings, she found a dusty camera at the bottom of a wooden box. It was scratched and half-broken, but something about it felt alive in her hands. She took it home. No one paid much attention. At first, she took photos of flowers and insects. Then she started taking photos of people: her mother cooking, her little brother sleeping, her neighbor sweeping the road, street kids playing with a plastic ball, an old man looking out a window.

When the Lights Went Out A Night That Changed Everything It was just after 7 PM when the power went out. story by Byiringiro Olivier At first, no one paid much attention. Power cuts were common in the small town of Nyagasambu. People assumed it would come back in an hour or two. But as minutes turned to hours, the silence began to stretch. No music from radios. No buzzing of televisions. No lights flickering through windows. Just darkness and quiet. Phones were dying. Fridges were warming. Boredom started to creep in. But something strange happened that night. An old man lit a charcoal stove outside and started boiling tea. A neighbor, curious and tired of sitting in the dark, brought a chair to join him. Then came another. A group of children, free from screens and homework, began playing hide-and-seek by moonlight. Soon, the entire neighborhood seemed to spill out of their homes. Someone lit a fire and roasted maize. A young woman began singing softly. Another picked up a gui...
