Empty Mind, Full Heart & a Busy Body - BBDirector

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Viktor Ilijev, Owner of BBDirector, located in Skopje, Macedonia.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We help niche websites quickly scale content production and save time managing it by 50%.

Tell us about yourself

From an Account Manager for Porsche and Phillip Morris to a Deputy General Manager of a Global Video production company to a Virtual Assistant, Sales Rep, and finally, my boss. I wanted to get away from the 9-5 write-and-run processes, so I'd combine all three things into one and do what I do right now. That's my story, in short.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I helped one of my clients scale his website traffic from 45k to almost half a million in one year—a travel industry client, where we had to compete against TripAdvisor.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Needing to wear many hats at the same time and switch between positions.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

1. Be ready to be sales, marketing, ops, finance, and everything else.
2. Focus on one thing at one time and finish it.
3. The amount of time you work should equal the amount of time you don't work.
