This is our story, my story :
Once upon a time, there was a student who had never been a diligent worker but consistently outperformed his peers. His effortless success both irritated and secretly fascinated his classmates. Despite being labeled a rebel due to his disdain for authority and unwillingness to engage in uninteresting tasks, he harbored grand ambitions.
After completing his studies and earning a master’s degree in finance, he found his calling in management and financial control. Choosing to stay close to his roots, he assumed the role of financial manager in an industrial enterprise in his hometown, all the while yearning for greater competence and experience.
This former rebellious student refused to settle for mundane jobs, armed with the belief that his skills deserved a more significant role in the corporate world. His journey into entrepreneurship began with the nostalgic venture of buying and selling old-school video game products, bridging the gap between individual sellers and retro gaming enthusiasts.
Embarking on a journey of linguistic exploration abroad, he seamlessly transitioned from his role as a financial controller to a consultant in financial management. Breaking all ties with his homeland, he crossed the Atlantic to the USA, joining a billion-dollar publicly traded company. Here, he played a pivotal role as the assistant to the CFO, orchestrating the turnaround of the company’s cash flow management, achieving EBITDA and monthly/quarterly operating income goals.
Parallel to his corporate conquests, he birthed Spherier LLC, a mother company set to centralize various specialized brands. His focus shifted to the colossal landscape of Amazon’s USA marketplace, seeing it as the ideal ground to grow recognized brands and later expand through organic growth on brand websites and other retailers.
Venturing into Amazon FBA, he envisioned a cashflow-positive business managed with just a computer, providing the flexibility to live and work wherever his heart desired. This strategic move allowed him to craft his work hours according to his natural life cycle, emotional fluctuations, and productivity rhythms.
With his own business and brands on the Amazon marketplace, he found personal and professional fulfillment. The prospect of managing businesses generating millions of dollars monthly for each brand became a reality. The next step? Creating additional LLCs with new brands, potentially selling them with a lucrative x4 EBITDA multiple if the management grew complex and a suitable acquirer appeared.
As the story unfolds, the protagonist envisions transforming the parent company, Spherier LLC, into a US-based corporation, becoming Spherier Inc. But that, my friend, is a tale for another time.
