How I became Andrew Kirby's video editor and started a business

Feb '23 in Other

okay, so after a long break from synthesizer skool I'm back, the group became a little bit too big, which is why I haven't posted lately. So I publicly document my journey of becoming financially free, and I feel like lately, I hit another milestone, I realized, that I should monetize the skills I already have, and because I have 8 yrs of experience in video editing, I just decided to start freelancing, and because I built out a few connections here on skool on November 2022 I got a message from

@Wiktor Romanowicz

about working for a Synthesizer University client, I was happy to get the job because in the last half year, I haven't made any money and it caused me a lot of stress. I finally started to make some good money, and after working for the SU client for a month and because they loved my edit, I got an opportunity to edit for Andrew Kirby, honestly, I was the happiest person on earth when I heard this because this was a dream becoming a reality in real time, it felt unreal...

(2.5 months later)

but life has ups and downs and I got another challenge from the universe to test my character:

I was just about to prepare the last stuff so I can travel to Bali and meet with Andrew when the unexpected happened, I got a message to get on a call because Andrew and Wiktor wants to talk with me, I already knew what this meant and I stressed so much, that it probably even caused my fever that lasted a week, finally, I got on a call and Wiktor informed me, that the direction of the company is changing, and I will no longer work here full time, I was so sick at that time, that I even had a hard time talking, and I just got scammed for 500usd that day, you can imagine how I felt at that moment, from the top completely rock bottom under few days.

But I was listening to a lot of stoicism videos to get me thru this time and I asked myself the question:

How can this be the best thing that happened to me?

This job helped me realize that it's possible to ask for high ticket prices and that there are even people willing to pay for it, and that I'm capable of doing it, it helped me get thru one of my biggest limiting beliefs so I decided to start my own business:

a video editing agency, I already have the knowledge and the passion for video editing and there are a lot of people I know who need it, if you are interested in video editing or you want to learn more feel free to drop me a message here on skool or just check out my new website: editingizdead.com

I really hope this new vehicle and the knowledge I learned from

@Andrew Kirby

can take me to 10k/m and I will keep you guys updated on my progress.

thanks for reading!
