Greetings, everyone!

To start with, I want to give God all the glory for a new week He has granted unto us. A week of favor, blessings, opportunities, and God's mercy. Thank you, Jesus, for the new week.

According to this week's featured contest, the practical skills that have nothing to do with online skills or business are teaching, cosmetics, or clothing. These are the practical skills I have that I believe will give me enough money without an online business.

In today's world, we need to have many streams of income that will sustain us, If the white collar doesn't pay, online will do, if both don't do, your practical skills will even do better than. So, having practical skills alongside your online business is pivotal to your finances, health, and many things.

How long have I had these practical skills

Well, I have not engaged in any of these skills yet, but I have been engaging them in my mind to be actualized physically 😂 But if unfortunately, online business or skills are wiped away, I can enroll in this business even though I'm not a business-oriented person, but I will make money there. To be practically skilled with your hands or the value you offer that has created an impact on people's lives is good, and it can take you as long as it satisfies human needs. A few weeks ago, I just realized that I can braid hair. I did it with my roommate's hair while I was loosening her hairstyle. I was like what, so peace, you can do it. But I don't want to go into that skill publicly but I want to master it for my female children.

However, before the online skills that is trending everyone, practical skills were feeding millions of people in the world and, it is still feeding people, by then few, persons knew about different online businesses like cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Blockchain technology and, many more that is helping a lot of people today. But then, practical skills are important to humanity and making life comfortable. My dad built his house with the practical skills of his hands, he made a sofa, executive chairs, and beddings, different furniture for people, and made natural wine from the raffia tree. The raffia one gave him more money and he used that to put up a house construction for himself. It was so beautiful as I stood as a young girl at that time watching the foundation of the house.

Having practical skills is good even with the online business, but in case the online business fails, the hands-on work will still be on the ground, and it will go a long way for you and your family. Practical skills are good and I'm planning to settle the two I mentioned before at one location.

I can testify to my brother's hard work that they are making a huge amount of money from their practical work, one is doing the POP business and one is into fashion, sewing men's dresses, and designing.

Overall, let's keep up with our handwork and expand it; if possible, we can do it online too.
