Open space offices are so yesterday. The future is pool based offices.

I quit my job. My wife and I just had my first born child.

I had zero savings and was in debt.

I took over one of our rooms in our two bedroom apartment as my office and got to work.

I knew I wanted to do my own thing but had no real skills.

I buckle down and got resourceful.

I consumed everything I could about digital marketing.

I worked 15-18 hour days, 7 days week for months.

I felt like I needed to put my digital marketing learnings into practice.

So I offered digital marketing services for free to a few family members and friends who had small businesses.

I hustled my butt off.

I built their websites for free.

I slammed their websites with relevant traffic.

I made their phones ring off the hook with more leads then they could handle.

I had one family beg me to turn the marketing off because he was so swamped & overwhelmed by the leads. :)

Finally, I had enough confidence to open my own digital marketing agency.

I made a huge mistake right off the top.

I charged way too little to be profitable & still hire a team.

I learned to charge more.

I learned to sell.

I hustled more.

I scaled.

4 years later I merged my company with Canada's fastest growing digital marketing agency called Powered by Search

I've never looked back!

OK, I am now a standing in a puddle of my own tears after watching this video.

I hope it brightens your day like it did mine.
