Nancy Isime Reveals Why She Started Working At 17

Media personality cum actress, Nancy Isime has stated that her desire for early retirement  was her motivation for starting out early in life.

She during a recent episode of the CreativiTEA podcast disclosed that she shuffled between different jobs to survive.

She expressed her desire for early retirement, adding that she has a clear goal of achieving financial security before she stops working.

“I have been working since I was 17, early retirement is the plan. So I’m doing all my work now so by the time I am retiring at an age people feel is too early, my portfolio and achievements will speak for themselves,” she said.

The actress also emphasised the importance of enjoying the journey, rather than just focusing on the end result.

“We tend to want to see the end results before we do anything. We don’t enjoy the process. I’m very intentional about enjoying the process and the journey, understanding that you can never truly arrive”, she said.

Speaking of struggles and challenges, Isime said, “People feel like struggles are something to be ashamed of; for me, it’s not. If you go through my Instagram page, you can scroll all the way down. I don’t delete anything because it’s like a memory book for me”.
