Introduction:
Hi, I am Ellis the Elephant and I’d love to take you along my life’s path. The goal I am trying to achieve in this Substack is to journalize my process of starting a marketing firm. In this I hope to teach, guide, and help you avoid bumps in the road that I encounter, while also providing the things that worked very effectively. I find reading and examining someone’s path to success opens and closes many doors that maybe I would not have thought about. Now let me start off by telling you where I have been.
Past:
I come from small town America, but always dreamed of the city life. As soon as high school ended, I was gone. Moved to the Capital of my state to attended college, and as many freshman and young people, had no idea what my goals and admirations were. Heck, I did not even really know what my talents were, but there I was in the basic classes like they tell you too. So as you can tell, the interest level in school for me was way down the scale. I left school after 2 years to go work as the rodman (bottom) of a land surveying crew, but that can be a story for later. Loving the outdoors and adventures I fell in love with this field. But as years progressed, I learned the ways of the surveying world were not for me.
Still in land surveying, about 2 years ago I fell in love with Web 3 and the possibilities it makes for everyone around the world. Knowing about BTC and owning some since 2018, I never really understood it and literally had a friend just hold it for me until about 2020. Once I got my crypto it was over! I started doing research and hearing stories of how it was changing countries that never had true banking systems. I thought to myself this is it, this is what the world needs to right the ship.
Present:
The year is 2023, I have been doing surveying for over 9 years and am completely done. Reading some self-growth books, I was led to do some inner soul searching and finding out my loves and passions. After figuring those out, the next step was finding the right path that aligned with those traits. Being on twitter and working with several artist and projects, the realization I made was marketing. So, here I am writing this at the start of my journey whether it is working with some companies as an employee or finding freelance work, this is where I will take you on that journey.
Future:
By Q3 of 2024 I hope to have these things achieved:
· Have my own LLC
· Worked with 4 business improving their social media presence.
· Have 2 employees
These are some very ambitious goals and if I fail at them, that will be alright, but the goals I want to set need to push me and my passions to their breaking point in order to see if this is it. Any comments or feedback along the way will be very appreciated. Now, let us tackle this.
