After the prologue : Chapter One

Today is the official first day that I am on my own.

I had this silly grin on my face as I was driving earlier. How the hell did this happen?

The last two weeks had been crazy. I had wanted to freelance but then a potential client told me that she needed me to send her a quotation from a registered company as her company does not hire freelancers.

So, I registered as a sole trader. And I named it Myris Consultancy. The name came from Iris, the Greek messenger goddess. The reason I chose it is because I felt as if what we digital marketers do is essentially being a messenger for our client. We deliver their message to their consumer through digital channels. And well, MY are my initials. Hence Myris

That decision was made over two days. In two days I decided, and went ahead, to register a business. I did not see this coming at all, but I gotta say, I’m loving how everything is falling into place.

I feel lighter, more carefree and more optimistic about everything.

I can’t say I have any complaints right now. I wanted to be on my own by the age of 25. Two months ago, I didn’t think it was possible. But two weeks ago, I played around with the thought. Two days ago, I registered a business. Today, I finalised two meetings.

And tomorrow, will be another great day
