Steve opens a three-part series with Achilleas Daskalakis, who describes trading a safe, planned career path for entrepreneurship after seeing a friend make money freelancing on Upwork.
Daskalakis walks through the early days of underpricing himself to get first clients, the late-night conversation with his partner Constantine that turned into a plan to build a multilingual customer support company, and what it took to get the first sale.
For listeners who want an honest account of starting a service business from zero, including the awkward, unglamorous first attempts.
