What is your professional background and how did you come to learn about Mautic?
So my background is that I am a young entrepreneur and I own my company that I bootstrapped. I wanted the challenge of creating something for myself. I have always run a little against the grain and I guess starting an business was a bit of an expectation I placed on myself from a young age. There are challenges with everything in life, if there aren’t then it is probably not worth doing. Right now I am essentially a sole proprietor but do have a few independent contractors. I am working with businesses that are stuck in the past and cash strapped. That means expectations are exceptionally high and margins are small, which makes for a difficult place to run a business when you are still learning the basics. However, the reward is that I get to build something that is different and that really hasn’t been seen before, and when companies finally do start working with me I get to see the tangible benefits to their business – that gives me a rush. I am really glad I found Mautic to help me minimize costs as it helps address the “cash strapped” issue with many of my clients. I learned about Mautic through Google and a couple friends who thought I might like the project.
