â MOST PEOPLE DIDNâT BELIEVE ME WHEN I TOLD THEM⊠đ€
âWhatâs the worst thing that can happen?â - I remember my older brotherâs words vividly, when I presented our idea to him. I honestly never expected to be where I am today.
In 2016, I was working in a regular business job as a strategy consultant. Every morning I biked to work and worked tirelessly with powerpoint slides and strategy documents for some of the worldâs leading international companies. I had cool colleagues and got tasks done. Life was okay.
Today, life is great. Iâm co-founder of a Danish chewing gum company producing plastic-free and sustainable chewing gum - re-inventing a dormant category â»ïž Weâve built our own factory, scaled our innovative brand to more than 10.000 European retails outlets and created new jobs for more than 30 fantastic colleagues.
People thought I was joking when I told them I was quitting my job. I wasnât. I wanted to take a risk. Their question to me: what about your steady state job, your safety net? My reply: what about following your passion?
Itâs never too late to make a change, even though the direction is different. Take control of your life, let your dreams run wild and take a risk â whatâs the worst that can happen? It just might change your life.
