#14 Young & Successful: The Story of a 22-Year-Old CEO with Guest: Sean Si

In this episode of the Self-Employed Success Podcast, Sean Si, shares his story of how he built his business from scratch. When he started, Sean had a small, cramped office, and he was freelancing while trying to sell SEO. At the time, many people in the Philippines didn't know what SEO was, but Sean stumbled upon it accidentally while trying to increase the readership of his blog about his faith. He learned the ins and outs of SEO and eventually started his own business, which grew and grew until he needed to hire more people and rent a bigger office. Despite his success, Sean admits that he felt like an imposter at first. He had no managerial experience and didn't know how to lead or sell. However, when he saw that he could fulfill the promises he made to his clients, he gained more confidence and began to see himself as a professional. One of the key takeaways from Sean's story is the importance of perseverance. Even when things were tough, Sean didn't give up. He continued to learn, experiment, and adapt until he found a strategy that worked. Another takeaway is the power of faith. Sean credits his success to a series of divine interventions that led him to SEO and ultimately to his business. Sean's story is an inspiring example of what can happen when you combine hard work, perseverance, and a little bit of luck. It's a reminder that success doesn't always come easy, but it's always possible if you're willing to put in the effort.   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/seansi.speaks LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/seansi/  Twitter https://twitter.com/seo_hacker  YouTube https://www.youtube.com/c/LeadershipStack  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sean.si/?hl=en  Website https://sean.si/  TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@leadershipstack?lang=en  Subscribe to my Newsletter HERE Starting a side hustle allows you to test your business idea before fully committing to it - it gives you an opportunity to see if there is a demand for your product or service and if it is something that you are truly passionate about. Don't forget to leave a review!
