What Is Your Entrepreneurial Journey Like?
Well About 5years ago while I was still in tertiary institution I began decluttering items on a small scale
I sell used items to my fellow coursemates back then
I have always loved the idea of helping people acquire items without them having to spend much on new ones cause the situation of the country isn't pleasing to everyone. That Declutter zeal grew into the founding of Amah Declutter Services a Declutter Agency which specialises in connecting buyers to acquire clean used household and office items without spending much on new ones and for sellers to have a channel to sell out clean items in exchange for cash
The journey though is filled with challenges but was made possible by a belief in the power of possibility
