Actress and media personality, Nancy Isime, has shared her vision for early retirement and her journey of hard work during a recent episode of the CreativiTEA podcast.

Isime disclosed that she has been working since she was 17, with a clear goal of achieving financial security before an early retirement.

"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."

The role interpreter also emphasized on the importance of enjoying the journey rather than focusing solely on the end result, saying, "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."

A believer in the power of small steps and struggles, she expressed that overcoming challenges is a key part of her success story. "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," she explained.

Reflecting on the importance of building a strong foundation, Nancy compared her journey to a biblical principle: "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."
