According to Sarah Martins, she has never relied on transactional s*x to achieve success.
The actress maintained that hard work, strategy, and determination are the reasons behind her successes in business and entertainment.
“I can look at you and know the service I can render to you that will make you give me the money in your pocket without having to sleep with me.”
“Acting has always been a passion for me. It has never been about the money. It’s been something that I grew with. It’s been a part of me, part of my journey and it has shaped me into the disciplined woman I am today. I am really grateful to God for the opportunity of Nollywood because, from the beginning, it has been a major part of my success story.”
The actress characterized herself as a serial entrepreneur who knows how to generate value and make money through business without sacrificing her values in an interview with Saturday Beats.
Martins also discussed her experience in Nollywood, stating that acting has never been a career goal but rather a lifelong passion.
“To be honest, everybody is doing what they can, and I can’t deny the fact that Nollywood has improved so far. The major thing I would love in Nollywood is loving ourselves genuinely,” she added.
On managing multiple responsibilities, Martins credited discipline and proper time management for helping her balance acting, entrepreneurship and family life.Movies
“I only allow into my life what adds value to me. There is time for everything. When it is time for family, it is family time. When it is time for business, it is business time.”
“I cook once every week. So in a month, I spend no less than N2m. In a year, that’s about N24m, and over eight years, it adds up to about N192m from my pocket.”
“People will always judge you. They will always see you differently no matter what you do. That actually taught me about loyalty, so I decided not to be vulnerable with just anybody anymore.”
If you have the fear of God and maintain discipline in your life, you’ll find it easier to resist temptation and avoid engaging in such actions. True discipline rooted in respect and reverence for God guides your decisions and keeps you on the right path. Remember, when you honor God and stay committed to your values, you’ll make choices that lead to genuine success and peace of mind.
