BUILD: When you don't find a job, maybe you need to create one?

Episode 0: Becoming a self-made, an entrepreneur

Each episode covers a different phase of the build. This first one goes back to the beginning and what led here. And more than anything it is a story of staying true to yourself. Which, if you ask me, might be the hardest part of all of it.

I thought about this for a while.

Should the story be told when it has not been written yet? When there is no happy ending to confirm it was worth sharing? Does it have any value to anyone before the outcome is clear?

Then I saw a note on Substack where someone wrote something like “everyone has it so figured out on Instagram, thank god I came here and realised that is not the case.”

So I decided. Let’s share the story of ambition and bad luck in equal measure. Because this is what I would have wanted to read years ago myself.

To see that even when things don’t go your way, you can still have your way if you just dare.

What follows is a series of episodes on the journey of becoming self-made and resourceful no matter what. Or better said, refusing to take any “no” as a dead end but rather as a catalyst for a different option.

You can call it choosing entrepreneurship.

I prefer to call it maximising what you have, the full range of your skills, your instincts, your experience, and knowing when to use which. And never putting all your bets on one basket, because the basket might not be yours to keep.
