My Journey From Full Time Employment To Freedom
Progress & Intro Post
I’ve never really made an introduction and now I’ve actually started something it seems like a good time to.
My background
I joined the forum about a year ago now, I’ve learned a lot and it has led me down the path I’m on now.
I’m from the south-east UK in a county just outside of London. My background is graphic design and print, I finished a part-time degree in graphic design last year and was a bit lost about what to do after that.
I’ve always wanted to start a business from a young age but never committed to anything. After reading the Millionaire Fastlane it made me totally change my mindset and building my own business is the only option for me.
I kept coming up with extravagant business ideas, I would make a start with them but I never really stuck with any of the ideas for long enough.
My Current Situation
I’m 27 years old and I’m currently employed 40 hours per week whilst working on my business in the evenings and weekends. I’m still living with my parents so there really is no better time for me to start this journey.
What’s going on now
Through this forum I found Foxes Sales Legends course, I realised web design is a great way for me to get started in business. I’ve only been in the course for a few months and so far it’s been great having the support, experience and advice from everyone. It’s really helped me kick start my business and I’ve taken steps that I probably wouldn’t have taken before.
I have also taken Steve Deans SEO course which was also great so my business is now focused purely on web design and SEO.
I’m still in the portfolio stages on my business, I have a friend who uses me for his design work and I made my first website sale about a month ago. I’m yet to secure my first SEO client.
I’m networking most weeks, cold calling, emailing, and I’m starting to look at using social media to find more clients.
My biggest challenge so for is simply finding my first clients.
Goals
Short term:
To quit my job and go fulltime with this business
To reach 6 figures in revenue
To rank my own website on page one locally for SEO and Web Design services
Long term:
Use this business to uncover needs and wants
Use this business to learn about business so I can then build a much bigger business
Sell the business
This threat will be more of a diary that will show my progress, hold myself accountable, learn from others and hopefully help others as I learn.
I’ll try to update it weekly.
Thanks for reading,
Oli
