In a candid admission, she disclosed that out of the three clients, one of them was a close friend.
The disappointing sales appeared to leave Mercy questioning whether her efforts were leading her anywhere, especially after investing time, energy and hope in the venture.
Rather than give up on building something for herself, Mercy turned to content creation, hoping that consistent posting would help her find an audience and open new opportunities.
Content creation failed to deliver results
She said she had been striving to publish content, creating reels and experimenting with ideas in an attempt to make progress.
"I have been pushing myself so hard, posting every day, reel after a reel, just doing the best I can, doing anything that at least will make sense to me, because this is the only thing I know," she explained.
However, despite her commitment, Mercy said she had yet to see the breakthrough she was working towards.
The repeated disappointments appeared to have taken an emotional toll on Mercy, who admitted that she was struggling to cope with the situation.
Mercy asks the universe for a sign
She expressed her desperation for some indication of what she might be doing wrong and whether she should continue along the same path.
"The universe should just give me a sign. What am I doing wrong?" she asked.
Mercy also reflected on the risks she had already taken, explaining that she had tried and was willing to keep putting herself out there, but the results had not matched her efforts.
Her emotional account offered a glimpse into the less glamorous side of trying to build a livelihood abroad, where personal ambitions can collide with disappointing outcomes.
Mercy's next steps remain unclear, but her candid account shed light on the emotional challenges that accompany repeated disappointments while pursuing financial independence.
Watch Mercy share her frustrations in her own words.
