Actress Nancy Isime opened up about her teenage hustle, where she balanced multiple jobs to survive.

In a recent episode of the CreativiTEA podcast, she shared her dream of retiring early.

Isime, who began her career at 17, aims to reach financial security before she decides to retire.

“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 stressed the value of savoring the experience rather than solely aiming for the final 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”.

Isime emphasized the need for a strong foundation, drawing a parallel between her path and a biblical teaching.

“There’s a part of the Bible that says when your foundation is built on Christ, it’s like building on solid rock, and when the rain comes, it stands solid. That’s what I’ve done, building my way through life,” she added.
