He says he has worked for someone before but prefers running his own business. “I worked at a construction company as a labourer, every month end it was a different story when it came to salaries…it wasn’t for me…the work was too hard and exhausting.” Working as a street vendor is no small feat, it requires Given to work six days a week pushing eleven-hour-shifts each working day. He admits he would not have it any other way. “I have gotten so used to running my own business, and I want to continue working for myself.”

During my four days with Given, I noticed a cordial relationship with him and his customers. On one of the days his stock had ran out and he decided to knock-off 30 minutes early, but as he was pushing his wheelbarrow, a group of learners from a nearby high school wanted to buy something. He had to politely turn them away and explain to them that he had no more stock hence we was leaving early.

As a mother of two kids I have battled alot with my financial state to the point of begging from friends just to survive,until I started Bitcoin trading with the help of Allison_Grillo I made a successful withdrawal of R 200,000 with the help of Allison_Grillo.

I was scammed through Bitcoin couple of months ago, I started hating Bitcoin until I was introduced to Allison_Grillo, and I gave Bitcoin trading another try, I successfully withdrew $35,000 after two weeks of trading, am so grateful Allison_Grillo thank you.
