We all start somewhere.
My name is Jeanine Muyumba, student, founder of Journey To
Change and my roots are in the Democratic Republic of Congo as
well as in Germany, where I was born and raised.
​
Before I started to deal intensively with the topic of starting a
business, I started 2019 with a blog on Instagram where I could
with others share the experiences which I have already gained
throughout life.
After some time, I decided to take a break from my Instagram blog,
as I was also pursuing other goals alongside my studies. Over the
course of time, I reached my personal limits, as I was also studying and
working at the same time. That's why I made the decision to focus for
some time on Journey To Change.
​
That's when I realized that I also need support in the form of a mentor
in order to implement all the ideas I had. After a short time, I found a
mentor who has accompanied me ever since on my journey to start
a business by teaching me the necessary things, as well as supporting
me throughout the ups and downs.
Around the same time, I also hired somebody to design the
logo for Journey To Change. The logo is carrying the four words assist,
connect, grow, and educate.
​
The beginning of the Instagram blog with the idea, mine already
accumulated experience on various topics, so small they
may be, wanting to share with others, was the birth of Journey
To Change.
By that time, I was writing blog posts published with the name Journey
To Change, without knowing what would become of it later.
In the same way, I had not thought that it would become the name
of my company.
Everyone has experiences in life which are also occurring in the
present and those experiences are shaping us humans individually.
I have had situations in my life where I wished that I had more
I would have wished for more expertise, knowledge, encouragement,
or even the sharing of experiences from others instead of (only)
getting negative feedback. I have learned from these situations,
made my experiences and now I know how to do things better and/or approach them differently.
The principle of self-help also applies, of course, by researching
certain topics by yourself, watching videos or documentaries, but
sometimes it is simply the case that this is not enough and everything
is just overwhelming.
Ans this is how the path of Journey To Change was paved.
If you have a certain goal (no matter which one it is for you)
and you want to achieve it, you will. There will be
hurdles on your way, but that's part of it, because we all start
we all start somewhere.
It's just up to you to take the first step.
