MY STORY

My journey from employee to entrepreneur has been shaped by bold decisions, resilience, and a constant drive to find my true path.

 

Through challenges, growth, and a deep passion for strategic thinking, I've learned that the right environment, determination, and a clear vision can lead to success.

 

Here’s a glimpse into the key moments that defined my entrepreneurial story.​​

<<< Me, as an entrepreneur 2016, 2020 and 2024 :))

2015

After working in 15 different jobs, I realized that the 9-to-5 grind wasn’t for me.

I struggled for years as an employee, never quite finding my place in any company. After quitting, I decided to take the leap and start my own business.

2016

When I found the right environment, things started to fall into place.

I had been struggling with my business idea for about a month when I discovered a volunteer program at a coworking space that offered unlimited access to both the location and its community. That was exactly what I needed—within a month, I landed my first client.

2017

I began teaching at Budapest Business School.

This opened new doors, leading to more opportunities like the Budapest Art Mentor Program, Werk Academy, and private workshops for companies.

2018

I co-authored my first book: A Guide to the Hungarian Business Instagram World. The book offers valuable insights for both beginner Instagram users and seasoned business accounts. After covering the basics and international trends, the reader is introduced to the key elements of an ideal business Instagram profile, as presented by four experts, each from their own specialized field.

2019

I faced a major dilemma. By this time, I had a lot of clients, and with them came numerous implementation projects. It became overwhelming—or more accurately, we became overwhelmed. My clear goal has always been to meet revenue expectations while working no more than 4-6 hours a day on average.

That’s when I founded CLOUD Agency.

2020

The agency kept growing and thriving, and we moved into our downtown Budapest office.

2021

Our agency’s peak year: Over 25 professionals worked full-time to provide our clients with up-to-date and professional communication support. I had the pleasure of working with the Hungarian Museum of Fine Arts, WWF, and AVON.

2022

CLOUD Agency closed, and my baby was born, so I took a break.

In 2023 we moved to Austria with my family.

2024 - back to work. I’m currently offering consultations and holding lectures and workshops on topics I’m passionate about.
