Popular actress, Mary Lazarus has revealed that despite being in Nollywood, she sets a monthly financial target for herself.
The beautiful role interpreter took to her instagram page on Friday to recount how quitting her job years back, propelled her to start setting financial target for herself.
In her words: “I told my friend that I set a monthly target and she was surprised. Years ago after NYSC, I got a job that I was being paid 48,000 monthly. I wasn’t really happy not just because of the money, but that’s wasn’t the career path I wanted. I cried most times as I drove to the office and sneaked out sometimes to attend auditions. One day, I made up my mind to resign without having another job o. Very risky, I told my dad about it and he didn’t object as long as I knew what I was doing
I decided to join the movie industry. Amazingly that month, I got a role in a TV series. The period of shoot was three weeks and my pay was 130,000.Guys I met my target for that month.
After that month, I got another job again that paid almost 100,000.I didn’t meet my target but I knew God’s hand was involved. This was years ago, and I cannot tell you what my target is now.It’s large”.
Speaking further, Lazarus noted that she didn’t join Nollywood because of fame or to be taking pictures for people to like.
“I increase my target yearly, so I know if I am not doing well, I dust my certificate to get a white collar job.I didn’t join Nollywood because of fame or to be posting pictures for people to like while my mates in other sectors are cashing out.I be pure igbo girl.I love money.You see why I hardly attend events, because I have a target to meet”.
