The only female freelancer from Pakistan to receive Payoneer's "Freelancer of the Year" award

Hello, My name is Ayman Sarosh as a freelancer, consultant, and advocate of women's empowerment through freelancing, I work from home with two children, manage house chores, and manage social responsibilities.

My story today will be different from anything I've ever shared before, so please stay tuned. This is an account of a Virtual Assistant, who began at $2.5/hr in 2010 and worked completely through $20/hr, for a portion of the superior customers, as "Legitimate Head of World's greatest travel partnership", "Amazon Guru with 8 multi-million dollar stores", "Caribbean's Mega Annual Event" and at the present time as a full-time worker for a US organization having 100+ representative count from 10 nations, and I am the main Pakistani serving them. I'm lowered to deal with different six-figure customers while remaining in the Virtual Assistance classification, notwithstanding, I took in a lot of apparatuses, methods, and abilities en route (illustration 1: Break the Barriers).

Allow me to tell you from the beginning. I was conceived, raised, and lived till date, in Islamabad, and all through my scholastic vocation, I was the Straight-A grade understudy, you know, the sort of child your folks are very fulfilled from, that she will wind up well-rounded schooling shrewd and in the long run land an incredible work if necessary. Nonetheless, this never occurred, it was never bound to occur (lesson 2: Keep the confidence).

In 2004, the day I should proceed to give the medical entrance test, my dad died because of heart failure. Our lives in a real sense flipped around. Following a half year, I picked the most readily accessible choice and got confirmation in COMSATS for BS Hons. Quick version, I found a new line of work just after the degree in a global firm and worked there for quite a long time (Don't be in stunningness, the JD was not in any manner in arrangement with my certification) (lesson 3: Never fret, you generally learn something regardless of whatever the work or environment is).

However, as it's properly said that, because of the absence of vocation guiding, we barely know which choices to make and which headings to pick. So I left the corporate work and got taken a crack at M.Phil from Quaid-I-Azam University. 

This is the defining moment of my life individuals! when subsequent to leaving a task, I began a degree yet I needed to have a monetary stream also. I looked through a great deal, got defrauded even yet at long last found Upwork (in those days it was ODesk) in 2010. 

At the point when I began, nobody in my encompassing was doing it, so I didn't realize whom to ask, which abilities to offer, or even that the web-based work I am doing is called outsourcing. I'm a self-trained consultant who got going with the essential abilities of a V.A (Virtual Assistant) for $2.5/hr. In those days, I didn't have the foggiest idea how to pull out the assets so I in a real sense went through each discussion and Upwork gathering to perceive how to make this work. So at long last I wound up with Payoneer and got the genuine confirmation of outsourcing when I got $250 in my record (illustration no. 4: You gain nothing in the event that you don't attempt). 

Yet, this isn't the means by which my outsourcing chart went upwards, I totally left it when I got hitched in 2013, according to the cultural standards and my own mentality of getting a confirmed customary BAHU tag. Notwithstanding, with time, I began observing myself to be somewhat discouraged. This completely occurred because of absence of direction, regardless of performing house tasks and dealing with my girl. So indeed, I returned to outsourcing again in 2016. This time, with a much more clear vision, realizing that I have different obligations as well. 

As an activities subject matter expert, I began procuring very well and overseeing balance between serious and fun activities really extraordinary, yet I surmise this was not it. The year 2019 began with bunches of disturbances and difficulties for my family however as I said keep the confidence, so ALLAH remunerated me as a renowned honor "Consultant of the Year 2019" by Payoneer. I'm really respected to be the main Pakistani lady who has been granted this, for the business venture grant series occurring throughout the previous 6 years. 4500+ challengers applied, yet I got chosen across the globe. This isn't it, I am additionally one of 5 hawkers who were shrouded in a story by Payoneer and got included at NASDAQ Times Square, NYC. As of late, I likewise got chosen among 100 premium specialists of Pakistan who get highlighted in an espresso book and introduced to all services of Pakistan. 

I'm ever obligated to the media underwriting that followed. Some of them are FORBES, FOX Business News, BBC Urdu, PTV World, SAMAA TV, ProPakistani, TechJuice thus some more. 

So as an accolade and method of taking care of to Pakistani society particularly ladies, in September 2019, I began a drive WEcan, on exactly the same date my dad died. WEcan is tied in with giving web-based work openings, a spot to arrange, and a center point of abilities building. Through the stage, numerous ladies have the distant chance and opportunity to engage themselves. 

Also, I joined Google's drive #IamRemarkable as a facilitator, to allow the ladies to escape their inability to acknowledge success and talk more with regards to their accomplishments in actuality. 

So the year 2019, joined with two years of COVID, developed me totally personally. I have acknowledged that part with what you are aware of. Just this is the way a genuine local area is assembled. Subsequently, under the limit of a mentor, I have prepared more than 3000+ KPK ladies in the "KP Youth Employment Program" of KPITB, understudies of 10Pearls University, Foster learning program in, IEEE NED Students, Arid Agriculture University, and Tech Karo by CIRCLE. 

At this point, I give 1-1 meeting yearning for specialists, business visionaries, and independent companies to scale and develop dramatically. This is an all-out active preparation they will have, where they figure out how to turn into a specialist either by getting customers or building a monetary stream for themselves.

Conclusion:

Thanks for reading my story. Now, here are the main points (especially for Pakistani women);

Whatever challenges you face, you do not give up. Stay true to yourself and never give up. Women are not less than men. Every one of us has our own specialties, so be proud and grow at your own pace. Keep learning and evolving if you want to be a hustler. Remember #WECAN
