As many of you know, I started my own company one and a half year ago when I lived in Australia. I’ve been quite busy this last year and I’ve worked hard. And it has sure paid off.
Because ...

I got contacted by a headhunter for a job at my dream employer.
I interviewed and was one out of three candidates in the end. I didn’t get that job, but the company wanted me to work there, so they made a new position for me and decided to buy my company too!

Safe to say, this is huge news for me. Although it’s very strange to sell the company that I’ve built from scratch alone, I am just doing this and not looking back.
Bye bye remote work!! :/
I’m certain that I’ll learn so much from working at this new company and the people that works there are so nice.
So the point of this post is to encourage you guys to follow your dreams and work really, really hard at it.
And of course, it was also to brag a little, because I’m super proud!
I’ll start the new job in a week or so, and I’m beyond excited! Wish me luck
Hope you’re all doing well!
Susanne
Hard word always pays off. This is inspiring and encouraging story - I’m delighted to read stories about people believing in themselves and being not afraid of hard work. Good job Susanne. 👍🏻

I am glad to hear that your hard work has paid off @Susanne
I will also congratulate You that You
I would also like to congratulate you on your new job, and that you have and that you have managed to sell your company.
I think it will be easier to get an overview of your own job situation now when you are an employee.
Best regards

This reminds me of the story of WhatsApp developers who were once denied job at Facebook. Later, the same Facebook bought the WhatsApp.
Wishing you every success to your new job.

Wow, those are some seriously life-changing events! Really happy for you! Is the company in Stavanger or do you have to move and sell you freshly fixed-up home now?!

Congratulations.
Having the right mindset as you do. Will make you an asset to whichever company you work for and or on.
I am sure the entrepreneur in you will cause you to rise up in the ranks very fast. It may even cause you to find even more opportunities.
While I write about how we can change our mindsets to reach the freedom we decide whatever that may be and geared at creating online businesses, I find this to be a great post.
You have leveraged your gift and expertise to grow in the direction that is right for you at this point in time.
Change + Mindset = Freedom

This was supercool @Susanne.
It is always, as you say, smart to take your work serious and work hard.
I wish you good luck and congrats with the sale of your company :)
Kindest regards

Cograts Susanne,
It is one of the dreams of an Entrepreneur that his/her venture gets acquired or they go for an IPO. You know better what expections you had and what you were planning as your exit strategy so Congrats on it.
I am sure in new company you will get to meet new people and learn a lot of other things.
If I may ask,what one thing would you like to advice Entrepreneurs from you experience?

That is totally true. There is no substitute to hardwork and persistence.
I remember once my mentor who is a millionaire said
Hey, I just made my post about my bucketlist and I think it would be really interesting to know about the bucket list of other people and about their goals or adventures they want to do in life. I would like to interview you and publish about yours too with my little surprise touch. Let's connect through discord, my handle is @suf1an and discuss over there.

Oh. Congratulations dear !!
But I think you shouldn't have sold your company to them !!!
They bought it because they saw potential in it !!
But if you are happy...then it's good.
All the best for your new work :)

Jeg kan se for meg at det er litt bittersøtt å selge firmaet sitt på denne måten for å gå over til en vanlig jobb, men det er jo kjempekult å lese hvordan du har klart å bygge opp firmaet ditt til dette punktet på bare halvannet år.
Leit at det blir slutt på å arbeide "hjemmefra" da, for det har vært artig å lese om turene dine rundt om i verden mens du har jobbet. Men jeg ser for meg at du kanskje ikke kommer til å la være å reise selv om du ikke kan gjøre det mens du jobber? :)

Well sometimes changes are there to give you new energy and movement.
And if you aren’t happy in what you’re doing... you can start from your experiences and build up something new.
What kind of company did you run?

That's pretty incredible that you found an amazing new job AND they bought your company too! Not working remotely anymore might be a bit of an adjustment, but chances are you'll meet some equally inspiring people at your new workplace and grow even more as a person. Wishing you the best of luck with the transition! I'm about to move my own business across oceans. Aaaaaah scary, but so exciting too!
