Where it all started

It all started with "you didn't bring any value, so we are making you redundant".
Who can relate to this?
At that time I was working very hard, I happened to be doing the work of six people, I was stuck in a 9-to-5 job, I was also in the middle of a move with a one-and-a-half-year-old son and I was simply looking for some stability in my life. I was happy with the life I had, but I never accepted the fact that someone else was judging MY worth. I couldn't take it.
So, every action brings with it a reaction and I decided to channel all my anger and disappointment into a great idea. And that is how this project was born. I wanted to help people who felt like me in that situation, working mums, those who want to start something important but also those who simply want to have a passive income.
But I am not the only one participating in this project. I wanted to introduce you to my special sister Michela, whom I wanted to involve from the very beginning.
She is a special person. Not only because she is my sister, but also because she has had many difficulties in her life since she was born. She was born with an autoimmune disease, rheumatoid arthritis, a disabling and very painful disease that affects the joints. So, from birth she had a lot of difficulty doing even the simplest things, from walking to washing her hair. We, as a family, have always supported her as much as possible to make her life easier and simply more livable.
After finishing school, she took up voluntary work, which served her well as she entered adulthood. However, she is now 30 years old and has never earned a penny since then and cannot live on the social pension she receives from the government, which is really ridiculous.
But, hey, I don't want to be controversial. :-)
So I decided to involve her in this project as a freelancer. She is now responsible for the production of the best digital PLR products and social assets under my supervision. She learnt how to use Canva, Shopify, how to be part of an e-commerce business, how to build an entrepreneurial mindset with me. I trust her completely, she is a very proactive learner and has a lot of fun learning a new job and new skills.
I couldn't ask for more in my life. Seeing my sister happy for the first time is priceless.
"You didn't bring any value," they told me. Maybe not according to them, for the Global Company, but do they really know what value is to me? For me, value is giving my sister back her dignity as a human being. I have finally found my WHY in my life and I couldn't be more grateful.
Because, remember, most of the time you are in the wrong place at the wrong time.
We are very much looking forward to having you onboard on this wonderful digital journey!
Martina & Michela
