I worked as a pharmacist for over a decade. Long hours, work politics, driving a long distance daily.
During the pandemic, I decided to learn part time designing online.
Towards the end of 2021, I left my job as a pharmacist to fully pursue online freelancing as a web and funnel designer.
Was it scary? Of course la! I can't count how many nights of sleep I lost out of fear and anxiety.
Worked hard, cried a lot, wanted to go back and asked my ex-boss to take me back many times.
But in 2022, I started making $6k, then $8k USD monthly just designing websites.
In 2023, I was hitting $10k USD monthly in income.
In 2024, I was making nearly triple of that monthly. I started hiring and training my own team.
Nowadays I still design, but also help to speak and train teams from international companies across Asia, Europe, and the USA.
It's been a roller-coaster ride, but it was 100% worth it.
