More about Despina

I have a passion for growing businesses. It’s how I achieve my personal mission of helping more people live happy, wholesome, and fulfilling lives.

Being a business owner takes courage. It’s also a noble pursuit. These days, no one feeds more families than business owners do.

But it can also be a challenge to wear all the hats and juggle a bunch of new responsibilities! 

I was there myself about ten years ago.

You see, before I discovered SEO, I taught maths. I’d even written a book about everything I’d learned as an educator to help make learning an easier process for students.

As a naive 20-year-old, I hired a publishing company and got into the deal of a lifetime. If they didn’t make my book an international bestseller within 12 months, I’d get my money back. 

Life savings spent. Deal signed.

But there was a catch. They would stop all marketing activities from the moment the book reached bestseller status. Within three days, my book was the #1 international bestseller for its category in over 14 countries.

Wowza, that was fast!

At this point, I didn’t have a marketing bone in my body, and I had to hustle fast if I wanted to prevent the spike of hope from turning into a dreary flatline of nope.

That’s when I discovered SEO and began transitioning out of education into a rewarding career in marketing. One that offered me financial and location independence and that allowed me to have just as great an impact on the people I worked with.

Today, I love helping other business owners and founders take a step back from wearing all the hats so they can enjoy the fruits of their labor. So they can spend time with the families they’re working so hard to support and to live fulfilling lives, whatever that looks like for them.

Over the last 9+ years, I’ve honed my skills to deliver growth to all kinds of businesses—big and small.

Now, I’m cycling back to my roots as an educator and sharing what I’ve learned along the way.
