Hi all,
I actually posted in the INSIDERS intro section last year but realized I hadn't actually introduced myself to the wider community yet!
To cut a long story short, I come from a legal background and am based in London, UK. I graduated from university a few years ago with a law degree, achieving a First Class Honours while ranking #3 in my law school.
Although I considered moving into a top corporate law firm, I chose against it due to the notoriously stressful work culture associated with such firms. As many will know, work-life balance is non-existent in top firms, and I wasn't willing to commit my all to a firm that would be happy to replace me in seconds if I burned out as many in the industry usually do.
Instead, I ended up working as an
outreach legal adviser. This entailed helping people in crisis situations with their legal issues, mainly defending them in court proceedings where they stood to lose their homes due to high rent arrears. I would negotiate with judges and our clients' landlords in order to get more time to sort out our clients' situations whilst I chased up money owed to them by local councils.
Although I was very successful in keeping our clients in their homes, being around them taught me so much in terms of life lessons. I realized that anyone could fall at any moment, and this led me to explore different income streams, business and entrepreneurship.
Ironically, I ended up leaving my role just before C0VlD-19 rocked the world. Fortunately however, I had saved up a good amount of money to prepare myself for future rainy days. I owe this again to the life lessons mentioned above!
I have since been studying various areas of e-commerce such as internet marketing, social media management and import/export to name a few. I now feel ready to jump in and really accelerate my learning by doing, but am still hesitant to risk too much capital during such an uncertain time.
I figured that, at the very least, I could help others who are braver than I am by assisting those who are currently taking action on this forum with different elements of their business. I am happy to help out for free, as I would benefit from the deeper knowledge and insight whilst contributing my own skills and labor.
If you do need any help, feel free to post in this thread or shoot me a PM
Thank you for reading and wishing all of you all of the best with your endeavours!
