A few weeks ago, my friend was laid off from his job in Denmark and at the same time I was bleeding clients like crazy. It felt like everything was crashing down at once.
Then out of nowhere, some SEO work I did over a year ago on Reddit started paying off in a major way I hadn’t expected.
In the same week, I got messages from three completely different people:
a startup in the UK looking for a senior developer
a company in California needing marketing help
a founder in Copenhagen who wanted support launching their startup
After a whirlwind of calls and negotiations the following week, my friend now has a job with a young ambitious team, heading to San Francisco and Y Combinator in just one year.
He always wanted to live in America and this can be the chance he needs to earn big and use his talents to achieve maximum potential.
And I suddenly have clients that can provide big opportunities that line up perfectly with the direction I wanted my consulting firm to take.
I was also able to regain access to a consulting portal after many fruitless email exchanges with support and thinking all hope was lost in the same week. This portal can now provide even more real online opportunities I need for my business to succeed at the perfect time.
It was a reminder that life can flip in an instant. Seeds you plant ages ago can suddenly turn into something real and you never know how, why or when it might happen.
I am eternally grateful to my friends, family, partner, and network. They are the best resources you can have in these troubled times.
So in conclusion, write online, create that Substack, make a website and a blog and show off your portfolio and skills online. Your domain expertise is vital, but it’s the ability to sell and market yourself that will truly make the difference now.
I have nothing to sell you, but I hope somebody sees this and that gives them a bit of hope.
