Meet Your Coach: Eniola Somefun
From Immigrant to 7-Figure Serial Entrepreneur
Eight years ago, I arrived in the U.S. facing the same unfamiliar system, lack of guidance, and financial uncertainty you might be experiencing today. Without a ready-made roadmap, I used strategy and execution to build three businesses that have generated over seven figures combined:
US General Merchant: A coaching agency empowering immigrants to achieve financial independence.
Seller Africa: An e-commerce marketplace bridging cross-border Africaribbean trade.
Whole Foods Africa: A fresh produce supply chain infrastructure company.
You didn’t move abroad just to pay bills and postpone your dreams. My mission is to help you move beyond survival, leverage your experience, and build a scalable business of your own.
