Here’s how I spent my last 7 days:
- 40% sleeping
- 20% diving in the Mediterranean Sea
- 20% sitting by the water, thinking
- 10% enjoying good rib-eyes and tomahawks
- 10% work
For the past almost 3 years, I’ve worked almost 12 hours a day, seven days a week, with barely any breaks. Building Vikst has required intense focus and sacrifices.
I chose this path because I believe in what we’re creating. But just over a week ago, I did something I hadn’t done before - I took a proper break. Only a few hours of work each day, and for once, let go of the reins.
It wasn’t an easy choice - the easy option would’ve been to stay in Dubai, oversee everything, and ensure that performance stayed on track with our clients. But stepping away was the hard, and right decision.
And guess what? Everything ran smoothly. No major issues, no lost clients – performance even improved.
That’s when you know you’re building something real. A business that doesn’t depend on you daily. A system that runs independently.
This past week reminded me: a successful business shouldn’t trap you at your desk. You should be able to step back, recharge, and trust your team to keep things moving.
Now, as we head into Q4, we’re ready to scale again and grow Vikst as the preferred eCom growth partner in the Middle East.
Over the last four months, we’ve focused on improving our processes and perfecting client results. We haven’t taken any sales calls since May 9th or done any form of outbound/inbound. We’ve built the Vikst.io Academy (internal training) with 70 in-depth videos and worked hard to deliver top results for our UAE eCom clients.
Our goal is simple: to build the best performance marketing team. Now, we’re ready to take on more UAE eCom businesses and help them scale 🇦🇪
