Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business services but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Reinis Krumins, Co-Founder of AJR Online SIA, located in Riga, Latvia.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
An email marketing agency. Our customers or clients are eCommerce stores generating $75,000-$3,000,000+ per month in sales.
Tell us about yourself
I never wanted to go to college. So I knew I had to get a job or build a business so I could live a life free from anyone. So from the age of 13, I dabbled in multiple businesses/freelance projects. Most of them failed, but when I saw the power of email and how few ecom businesses have it in their stores, I knew it was a great opportunity. We are driven by helping our clients improve and scale!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
We've generated over $30,000,000 in sales from email marketing and grown our team to 55 people at our peak. The company was founded by 20 and 21-year-old entrepreneurs.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Learning what you yet don't know, as well as overcoming false beliefs.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Consistency trumps anything. Show up and do your job every day.
- Find the right opportunity and provide a service others don't so you stand out.
- Focus on one customer, one marketing channel (to get clients) until you hit 1MM/yr.
