Starting your own business can feel overwhelming—especially when you're young and just figuring things out. In this episode, I sit down with Job Baltes, a 22-year-old entrepreneur from the Netherlands, who shares his journey from struggling with side hustles and commission-based gigs to running his own marketing agency and launching a second business.
Originally trained in theatre school, Job has always been fascinated by people, which led him to a career in sales and marketing from the age of 16. Now, he’s also a YouTube creator and a brand-new podcast host, documenting his experiences as a digital nomad since embarking on full-time travel at the end of last year.
We dive into:
🔹 The reality of entrepreneurship in your early 20s – what works, what doesn’t, and what you actually need to succeed
🔹 The power of taking action – why learning by doing beats waiting for the "perfect" time
🔹 Building a strong network – surrounding yourself with the right people to propel your career forward
🔹 Playing to your strengths – focusing on what you're good at and outsourcing the rest
🔹 The importance of consistency – why putting in the reps leads to real opportunities
If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your skills into a business, how to break free from the cycle of dead-end gigs, or how to build a sustainable digital nomad lifestyle—this episode is packed with insights for you!
