Good Morning Guys☀️☀️☀️
TLDR; How would you approach finding a remote marketing job for Canadians living in Asia?
Sorry for a stark first post - but really don’t know who else to speak with. I’m a super sensitive person - and Reddit can be quite negative. I promise my content is usually quite positive! I will write about Jung and Asian history sometime too .
I started this journey with you guys. I love to read and stumbled on the Millionaire Fastlane .
I was an investment banker for large tech companies (in reality - equity research, for those that know the nuances) and investment analyst (you can find my research reports in public). But it felt like a hollow job with values I didn’t resonate with. The money just wasn’t worth it. I wanted to make other people’s lives better.
I started several businesses and had failed most. But I finally hit a home-run. Long-story-short, my business on Etsy generated $1 million (80% profit margins) over the course of 2 years and then summarily went to 0. I definitely had a productocracy but now that same product has been relentlessly copied.
I violated the commandment of control (let Etsy decide whether I should make a living) and let hijackers in (a skeevy accountant - whose credentials I didn’t verify - he wasn’t a real CPA).
Well never mind, the past remains the past. I learned from it, and can only control the present. I brushed it off, and started a few businesses. Well, I thought I lacked process or I lacked the discipline to stick with one business - which was true. But the root cause was a lack of mental stability.
Now it’s been 9 months since my business went to 0. And I’ve been AB testing businesses (maybe distractedly - because I lacked mental peace).
I need to find a remote job. I think there’s a lot of value to finding a job in my personal situation, because of the peace it’ll give me. I can then continue creating tools and services to create value ✨ on the side. On the plus side - I’ll also immediately be able to afford mental health counselling and a peaceful apartment. This would be amazing to overcome my CPTSD and BPD that are currently being triggered.
Because I’m stuck in another country (where I am the happiest I’ve ever been, and love wayyy more than Canada, and is my forever home); away from my country of citizenship (which I have no roots to). And my home country (which I want to avoid because I despise the lying and scheming culture it’s developed).
A question for you fantastic fastlaners: I’d like to find a marketing job (marketing is something I want to learn more about for my own business). How would you approach finding a remote job in this field? I obviously don’t have direct experience in a formal job for this position. I’ve been using LinkedIn so far to do job applications. Previously, to find my investment jobs the 2-Hour Job Search worked superbly.
