Losing a job can be a devastating experience, but for one man, it became the catalyst for an incredible journey to success.
Eugene Madondo, an SEO specialist, went from unemployment to becoming a multi-millionaire entrepreneur, thanks to his unwavering determination and strategic approach to his skills.
From one career path to another
In an interview with @lifereset_za, Eugene shared how his career turned out unexpectedly after losing his job.
"I announced on my LinkedIn because I started working on my LinkedIn."
"I told people, 'You know what, I just lost my job. I'm not going to get paid now. I'm still determining how to pay my bills, but I'm not looking for a job. These are my skills. If there's anyone who's looking for SEO services, I'm going to do SEO on a consulting basis.'"
The response was overwhelming. Former employers, colleagues, and industry contacts contacted Eugene, recommending him to clients needing his expertise.
"In the first month, I made about R40,000 just from consulting. The next month, it grew to R60,000. Eventually, I think I was making R150,000 a month from the consulting work at the peak, just because people I used to work with recommended me."
Changed his business path again
As his consulting business grew, Eugene realised he was overwhelmed by the workload and constant meetings. Despite the financial success, he found himself burnt out.
"I was making money, but this is not what I had in mind. Even if I had my own business, I thought I'd have more time, more control."
In the video, he said one of the company's most successful platforms, StrangerCam.com, allows users to video call random people worldwide and now attracts over a million monthly visitors:
Eugene's business empire didn't stop there. He expanded into international markets, owning a network of affiliate marketing websites in countries like Germany, Brazil, and Croatia.
