### The day1 spendHBD workshop
**Bringing chairs to the venue with My Son**
***Two first person that came very early***
Mr Anietie Udo came by 8:am while miss Uduak came by 10:am and the program was to start by 11:am. When Mr Anietie came, I asked him why came this early. He said, he doesn't want to miss any part of the program and also, during my talk at the radio station, I mentioned that the first 50 persons that are business owners who will come will have a price for coming early and he want to be number one person and behold, he was the number one person. He registered after the workshop and made his first post on hive. [@anstumstev](5JqZiTAfiNFSfoquTsEgDELiqeHXuTmFLS2n5v7DFXAyn4hf5on)
He said that he will come with his wife and 2 grown up girls to come so that they too will learn. He also said he will register his business to accept hbd which he will do tomorrow. Another person who registered was pastor Emmanuel hope. He was so excited about the project and said, we will go to places madam. He also made his first post [@emmanuelhope](https://hive.blog/hive-106130/@emmanuelhope/attending-spendhbd-workshop-day1-or-or-my-introduction) they are all ready to spendHBD once we list a business which will be long again as long as they meet up requirements.
Another business owner who attended the workshop is Temark petroleum who is also into kangen water business came with sample of the water, many indicated interest, his shop will be listed today God's willing, joebest supermarket attended and Ikukuoma restaurant attended and they all showed interest in listing their business on spendHBD. We so many who had interest in content creating on hive and shop with HBD but they do not have good phone, 5 of them are making arrangements to buy phone and I have called a phone dealer I know to list his business on spendHBD so that all who will need phone will buy from him. @etubomnoah also registered on hive but his phone couldn't login, he said he will come day2 of the Workshop with new phone.

### *Conclusion and challenges*
It wasn't easy for me on day1 from 5:am till now , at first, I was afraid that people will not turn up well although I received more than 60 calls because of new year but it was a surprise to me that God brought leaders to me. My greatest challenge now as a guide is lack of hive power, I am supposed to support newbies from my own but I lacked resources that I had to call for it, it affected me in registration, I'm still afraid on how I will do on day2 . Please if you are reading this post and you have #HP, please delegate to me so that I can run successful workshop and register newbies please. It is my greatest challenge now.
