And now let's hear from Olga about the starts of her dream business and journey to it.
Owning businesses has always been a big dream of mine and I always thought it would be the first thing I would do if I ever won a lottery. As you can see there is no photo of me holding a winning lottery ticket. Instead of that imagine having a six month old baby, not enough sleep, full nappies, poop explosions, spews, no personal space, no personal time, never enough coffee. It is an amazing and beautiful but also a very difficult time. On top of all that, imagine spending your days in the hospital visiting your injured relative.
Definitely, not the way I would imagine the beginning of new businesses.
Hi, my name is Olga. I moved from Prague 5 years ago for my now husband. I have over 10 years experience in finance. From the beginning, I saw moving countries as an opportunity to change my career.
But let's get back to the crazy beginning of my business. Two years ago my dad came to visit me and on his walk got hit by an SUV travelling at 80 km/h. He was fighting for his life in hospital for a few weeks, followed by a long recovery afterwards. With his limited knowledge of English, I needed to be there for him, take care of him and translate everything.
