If you are concerned about your future, this story is for you.

When a woman goes from very sick and broke to $1,000,000, Yes, Dollars, in less than 5 years -- is it luck?

I'll let you decide.

Meet this week's #EcomLensOutstandingHuman

Alcyone (Cici) Gunn
(Six Figure Chick)

In 2013, she was diagnosed with Cancer.

She was working a really low paying job, going to chemo and was at a really low point yet .

With lots of bills and expensive treatments, pain and lots of difficulties, she started a business with her Galaxy phone while sitting on her Chemo Chair.

Her business helps other entrepreneurs find things easy and make more money from it.

I personally will never think of starting a business in that kind of situation but she did and today, through consistency, it has paid off.

So, how did she go from Chemo and broke to Millionaire in Dollars?

She used what she had.
Her phone and her brain.

What do you have?
What can you use today?

Back to Cici.
She created and sold lots and lots of ebooks.

All the knowledge she has and the things she knows, she packed them into ebooks and webinars and sold the shit out of them.

She also gave out Planners.

She designed and created planners with Canva and gave it out for free.

All you had to do was pay shipping.

Every week, she had money goals.

She would write down how much she wants to make and what she has to sell to make it.

Every week and every year, she had goals she worked and she achieved it.

She's an advocate of securing the bag.

She'll always say, collect your money.

Don't teach too much for free and I 100% agree with her.

She kept going, and pushing and securing her bag.

She inspires me to be confident because even when she didn't look like what society likes to see, she kept on pushing and promoting her self regardless.

Recording videos, righting books, pushing classes.

I really love her focus level.

She now has over 300k followers..

If you're thinking, oh that's easy, I want to assure you that it's not because if it was, everyone will do it.

In 2017, she made over $692,000 in the full year. In her old job, it would have taken her 32 years to achieve that feat.

32 Big Years.
Imagine crunching 32 years into 1 year.

That's outstanding.

She has gotten to $1M a year and between January 2020 and now, she has hit $500k.

How?

She has a monthly membership group called Digital Product Society (I am a proud member) with its fee at $30 a month and over 1,100 members.

She keeps breaking bounds. New levels, new goals. Unashamedly.

Lessons she has taught me
1. Start.
Take action.

I'm very sure that day, sitting in her Chemo Chair, she didn't imagine this would happen but she did it anyway.

In her own words👇🏽👇🏽

2. Fuck Opinions
Regardless of how she looked, she kept going.
Don't worry about how you look now or how you sound.

Just show up.

Someone needs what you have.

3. Write the vision, make it plain

She documented and broke down every step till she hit her goal.

4. Don't give up.
Keep Going.

Cici is still in the business of helping entrepreneurs grow their businesses.

Follow her on Instagram @_sixfigurechick

and buy everything she is selling if you need it.

I chose her as the first #EcomLensOutstandingHuman because I really love her story and she has proven that anything is possible.

I hope her story inspires you to keep going.

No matter how difficult it seems, the future will be better.

Next week, I'll tell you about a man who started a Non Profit Annual Conference series with nothing but "God will Provide"

That man influenced my life and is the reason I made N20,000 everyday in January 2018 when I started my online business.

Have an amazing week.
Love, Jay.

I made a mistake with her handle.
