Alright... I've been lurking long enough so it's time for a progress thread.
A week ago I've been fired from a Digital Marketing company I worked for over 2 years, as a Head of eCommerce. Reason? I wanted to be transparent with my CEO about my nearest future. I told her that with another two ex-employees we'll be starting an eCommerce Agency. As you can imagine she didn't take it easy. One week after my 'news' I got a termination paper.
The day I've been fired was very eye-opening for me. At the moment, I've been re-reading UNSCRIPTED by @MJ DeMarco, and all the truths he spoke were SO VISIBLE, like never before. I also felt a lot of gratitude for being able to notice this. What is more, I realized that something I was postponing because of the comfy life became an obsession now. Starting a business to get my life back is not an option, it's my duty.
My long-term goal: Live an UNSCRIPTED Life.
My idea is to:
1/ Start an eCommerce agency (this is something I'm really good at) --> 2/ launch my own eCommerce brand --> 3/ launch online courses about starting/scaling up eCommerce.
My Q2 goal: Acquire 2 new clients (I already acquired 2 clients)
My why:
1/I grew up in a poor family. I lived in one room with my parents and my brother. I never want to experience such conditions in my life.
2/ I already started a business and failed (I got 200k from Angel Investors). They told me that I would never start a successful business (F*ck them),
3/ I got fired because of being fair and transparent (despite the fact that I've made a lot of money for this company and worked long hours). Now I felt on my skin that working for someone else is always a bad plan.
4/ I want to be able to achieve my dreams.
Why starting this thread?
1/ If some of you would like to start a similar business, hopefully, you will be able to use it as a blueprint,
2/ Discuss with you problems & challenges along the way,
3/ Document the journey for my future self and as a way to motivate me for pushing harder each day.
In upcoming days I will publish how I acquired the first 2 clients and what is my plan to get an additional 2 clients.
Cheers!
P.S It's really good to be on the 'better' side!
