Speakers: Maria Litresics
Maria Litresics: Hi, everyone. My name is Maria and I am very happy to share my story with you. I was born in Slovakia in a very small village only with 300 people. I was living there until I finished my third level diploma of architecture and building engineering.
Maria Litresics: I started my online business in 2020 when the pandemic hit Ireland, the pandemic hit the whole world. So I knew at that time that I have to start something online. We couldn't move, we stocked inside in the house. We couldn't make any contact, but we still had to pay the rent and we still had to live from something. And, as a single mom, I had to make a responsible decision.
Maria Litresics: So at that time, I had two choices to wait, but for how long, nobody knew how long it's going to take. Three months, six months, one year.
Maria Litresics: So I said in March straight away that I have to work, and
Maria Litresics: at that time, I just wanted to survive. I wanted to give food on the table to give food to my daughter and pay rent. And I, my plan was when the recession is over or the pandemic is over. I am getting back to the building sector.
Maria Litresics: But one year later, I knew already that here I can get not only money, freedom, what time, freedom and family freedom. So my decision was made because I knew that I can make or I can plan my day. I don't have to be from eight o'clock until six o'clock in the evening on the building site. I can take my daughter to the school in the morning and I can collect her. So it's completely different life, what we are living
Maria Litresics: right now.
Maria Litresics: So this is how I started. I got all the support and I'm still getting after four years, the support from the leaders from the company. You can start this business from a very small amount of investment.
Maria Litresics: It didn't take me 17 years like in a building sector. But within three years I could get things what I couldn't really imagine before.
Maria Litresics: I am very, very grateful now. So I was able to say no to my life, to my dreams, to the building sector after 1.5 year in September 2021. Because here in this company, I could see my brighter future and my daughter's future, this is a legacy company. Don't think only about yourself. If you did something, you can help others, I couldn't do it in the building sector to give my knowledge to other people. But here it's possible. So if you think that you want to help other people, this place is for you. So don't waste your time, start and grow every day.
