When I was in the 4th grade of primary school, I discovered that I had the ability to draw. Later on, I wanted to turn to the field of fine arts, but this request was not fulfilled due to the opposition of my family. But I didn't give up, I improved myself by watching training videos and reading training articles. But this did not go beyond being a hobby. At least, I have agreed to this situation because I have improved myself. I would like to show you a few examples of my drawings.

When I entered my high school period, the idea of doing business as well as painting came to life in my mind. I always wanted to quit school and do business. My family was rightly opposed to it. But I didn't give up, I started to sell my old items as second hand while I was studying at school.When I was talking about old books, clothes, shoes and similar items, I saved a certain amount of money. This was a huge amount for me. I bought a Nokia Phone with 3 keys and a touch screen, which was my dream and which will be considered a kind of entry phone in the period when the new foundation of smart phones was just laid. I was so excited. Because I worked hard and bought a product for myself. And this product has increased my enthusiasm and determination in the coming years and has officially motivated me.

At the beginning of my university years, my desire to fish arose. After I bought the necessary materials for myself, I was ready for real fishing. We went to a stream with friends. The local people were catching fish with special handmade baskets and they told me that it is impossible to catch fish here with a fishing rod, do not try and tire yourself. However, I revived my stubborn and warrior spirit again and started to throw my fishing rod many times, but I finally caught it.I caught a bigger fish than everyone who told me you can't do it with a fishing rod. The fish weighed exactly 4.5 kg. While everyone was looking at me with confused eyes, I was proudly looking at the fish I caught. People congratulated me and it made me even more proud in this situation.

My university process continued with a few commercial ventures. Since we were going to return to our hometowns after the university was about to end, we had to sell the items in the house. Together with my roommate, we had the idea of selling the belongings of other graduate students and getting a share from them. We started working as soon as possible and people liked that their belongings were sold without any hassle. We were happy to get our share. In this way, we created a sales network. Then everyone started asking to buy products from us. He said, “Will you sell our belongings, too? This situation lasted about 2 months. Then school ended and we went back to our hometowns. In this process, we made a lot of money, and in about 2 months, we achieved an income of 8000 dollars.
After I came to the country, I still had the idea of doing business in my mind. But I didn't have any capital on the side. But since we are mainly engaged in agriculture as a family, it was not difficult to find out what I had to do. And I was going to grow a crop on our own land and use the money I would earn there as capital. I started work right away. First of all, I had to make arrangements in the field. Working the soil, installing the irrigation system, supplying the crops to be planted and arranging the workers to work while doing them and get the job done quickly. These processes were actually the most difficult part of the job. Because I started everything from scratch. After doing all these, a certain time passed and the irrigation continued and it was time to spray and fertilize. I sprayed it, then fertilized and we did the plucking of the grass between the vegetables.
It was now time to harvest. And we harvested beautifully. We have sold our products to larger traders. Yes, it finally happened. I would now be able to establish a business where I could officially do my dream job, that is, trade. I immediately started the proceedings. First of all, I established a Private Company for myself. Then I completed the necessary procedures and documents and got my tax plate and ministry. Now the hardest part to do was over, everything was ready and the only thing missing was to set up my e-commerce store and decide on the products to sell. In the beginning, I decided to buy products that can be sold well and are affordable. I needed to be cautious and not suddenly spend all my capital. And I placed my orders and my products were on their way.My excitement increased even more. I was taking the final steps on the road to my dream job, i.e. commerce, and even better, E-Commerce. Then I uploaded the necessary documents to the system to open my store. I do not want to name the sales platforms available in my country so that there is no advertising here. but I opened an online store for all platforms in my country.
Finding a name for my store was actually the hardest part of the job, but it was very easy for me. Your store name should be concise, catchy and easy to pronounce. Here, when things were going to get messy, suddenly a voice came from inside me.And now I found my store name. The name I came up with also had a very deep meaning for me. I will not mention my store name here, but it will be enough for me to tell you this much. My mother uses a very sweet address when calling me since I was little. That's exactly what my store name was for. Actually, it is entirely thanks to my mother that I can easily create my store name.
Then the products arrived to me. I just uploaded it to my stores. I was just at the beginning. I only had 5 types of products and 100 stocks. But I did not give up, I would buy more products with every penny I would earn, and I would stock up on more varieties. My first order was made 3 days after I put the products on sale. I felt like I was going to fly with happiness. Then, with a few small advertisements, my sales started to increase. It has been 2 months and now there are at least 5 sales per day. In this way, my store has risen to higher ranks and my sales have increased significantly. When I came to the 4th month, more than 10 daily sales began to take place. At the same time, I was constantly increasing my product range.
And it has been exactly 1 year since I opened my store. Now my daily sales numbers have exceeded 30. The stocks of my products in my store are now more than 5000. Things settled down. I got the job of my dreams and I continue to work at full speed.

Working all the time, life gets monotonous after a while. This is where new quests come into play. Let me tell you a little about them.
The first of these is traveling. After a while, when everything went well, I started to devote more time to myself. So, my first job was to travel abroad. Of course, I did these with a personal vehicle, not with a tour company. That was the most enjoyable part of the job. I was standing where I wanted, walking where I wanted and doing everything at the time I wanted.

Secondly, as a nostalgia lover, I bought records and gramophones for myself. I especially admire songs and artists from before I was even born. I draw your attention, I said artist, there are hardly any artists in our period. Most of the people nowadays are called phenomena or artists, there are very few people who can really be called artists.

Thirdly, I became interested in handicrafts. It is a very satisfying situation for a person to strive for something, to work hard, and as a result, to progress and be aware of it. I have made many Scarves, berets and fibers. It was a pleasure for me to use them. Because it was my manual labor and that gave a different pleasure. In fact, it was the joy of accomplishing something.

Finally, as in our title, we came to my blog writing adventure. After going through so much, this is the last thing I found for myself. I needed a place where I could help people by talking about my experiences and work and where I would share regularly.Because of this thought, I set up this blog page. In the first few posts, I talked about the common stuff, but our main topic is these experiences and everyone's benefit from my future experiences. I don't want to go any further and bore you with the first real article.
I will continue to post regularly. Every Friday, I will publish an article about my experience and new developments. On the other days, I will publish articles that will give motivation and ideas that will help you.
If you have a similar experience, I would appreciate it if you let me know in the comments. Also, if you have good ideas, don't forget to mention them.
See you in our next article, stay safe...
