Tamara shares a bit more about herself…
Originally from Estonia, I came to England in 2003 to join my mom working in London. When her mom was diagnosed cancer she chose to stay and make it on my own. 3 years later I graduated with a top degree and a fast-rising career. But I never fully fitted in the corporate world. In 2007 I came across the idea of virtual assistants and running an online business so TJConsulting was launched in November 2007.
Six months later I quit my job and dove into full-time work with my first few clients. To make my business work I had to learn all about marketing, sales, and online strategies. As I was sharing my learning with clients they too saw results and increased profits. And so I fell in love with online marketing and chose to specialise in this area alone. By 2012 I had a busy award-winning 6-figure business.
Through modern marketing techniques, effective business systems, and the right online tools I help my clients achieve their big goals.
Icebreaker

When It Didn’t Work
