My Work
I do a lot of things…
I have been working since the age of 14 and I learned financial independence early. I dint know what entrepreneurship meant back then but I knew I dont want to work 9:00-5:00 from graduation to retirement. I freelanced, did presentations, translation jobs and latter also build small businesses. Some of them also failed. I learned from each failure and then did it all over again.
