Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Alexey Radutskiy, Founder of Radutskiy Holdings, located in Regina, SK, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
After being a serial entrepreneur, trying to pave my independent path, I ended up in the Blockchain/Web 3 Space. Now I am a Freelance Blockchain Data/Research Analyst. Helping and consulting early-stage blockchain projects. In addition, I create free content on YouTube to help people make sense of the complicated and volatile crypto space and learn fundamental technical chart analysis.
Tell us about yourself
In my early career, I worked in a technical unit in the Israeli Air Force. It sparked my interest in the technology industry, and I got promoted at the time to an Innovation Manager, which led me to work closely with big tech companies such as Google, IBM, and alike.
Ever since I have been thrilled to start new products, I’ve worked on developing a fitness app and then opened an E-Commerce business for three years. Over time I’ve learned that my biggest passion is working with data and drawing conclusions out of raw data that help businesses make data-driven decisions, and I found a combination of my passions for new technology and finance in the world of Blockchain, which is a nascent industry in similar stages to the Internet in the 90’s and quite possibly will change how the world interacts and operates within the next few decades.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Making the transition from my business is a side hustle to it being full-time work that can financially sustain myself and my family.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest things is that there is always a lot to learn, and you will always make a lot of mistakes, some of which will be costly. You must always stay humble and honest with yourself. Learn from your mistakes. Always keep learning new skills and improving to keep developing your business.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Choose something that you have an intrinsic passion for because being a business owner will get hard. Hence, you’ll need a strong inner passion to drive you through the obstacles.
- Surround yourself with like-minded people as much as you can. Always try your best to learn from the experience of others. Stay focused on your goals by being around people that support your passion.
- Stay humble. There’s always more to learn. There’s never an end to new skills that we can hone. Always strive to invest in your education/skills development and keep improving yourself to be a better business owner and leader.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Word of encouragement to anyone who wants to embark on an independent path in today’s social media world, and there are a lot of people who try to sell “quick solutions” and empty promises. There are no shortcuts, but if you consistently keep working hard and put in your maximum effort, and keep learning and improving – you will eventually see the results.
