Six years ago, we were two regular guys from Rotterdam, working corporate jobs. Not a bad life, but the thought of sitting in traffic daily, working an office job, and asking permission for days off until retirement drove us crazy. We had dreams and ambitions. We wanted to travel, see the world, and eventually earn our money online from abroad. An office job wasn't going to get us there.
So we started saving, waiting for our opportunity. When we discovered e-commerce, we knew: this is our way out. We started an online course and invested in a mentorship program right after. Within a year we resigned and moved abroad. First Mexico for two years, now Thailand for four.
Over those six years, we learned entrepreneurship the hard way. Building an e-commerce business isn’t easy. That’s exactly why we started Business Belts: to bring credibility back to e-commerce. You really can build a successful business in this world, but only if you approach it like a real business and play the long game instead of chasing quick fixes. Those don’t exist.
