Thank you. Thank you, Andrew, it's summer to be together with you and all of our audiences score so far. And my experiences rely in related to it a job seekers and also intrapreneurs HR leaders because it's related with this triangle. I made the wrong investment or I made an investment. And maybe I fail, fail. But I learned I agree to this lesson after all, so that I'm sharing it with the people. Because my followers and my connections know me for a long time on LinkedIn. I started LinkedIn because I was jobless, I quit my job. I take care of to take care of my mother. She had a brain surgery. She recovered them. Our doctors suggest to us a calm and passionate family members to take care of us extra because health care teams did their best. But it was a process that we had to be together with our mom. I started his projects to work from home, some business related projects. Then I received some offers from around the world, from many companies and also some multinational companies recruit to teams and they were working with agencies so that my experience is one of those great, great multinational companies. It was a dream for me to live in New York, I received an offer to live in their headquarters. And we discussed everything I signed agreements. Then we started immigration project immigration procedures and United States immigration office requested me one year of residence payments, details papers, documents at the company only paid three months of residence. So that's a I tried my best to reach hate HR teams. I wrote many letters to them, but unfortunately, they didn't help me on that situation. And I decided to quit or to finish to work with them. So that I cancelled to go there after all COVID started, so that I understood that there is a Reason, if something doesn't occur, it was a failure for me because I made some payments. And I was so sure that I would work with them. And I would add many value to their headquarters. But after all, I understood that if I will, that I could be so alone in profit, after all diseases and many issues, so I understood that if something doesn't appeal, as we dream, there is a reason God knows better than us. So that was the best lesson for me, and also the worst investments.

Andrew Stotz 05:56
That's an interesting story. And it made me think about like, one of the things that I take away is that everything happens for a reason. And I remember when I was a young guy, I was 18 years old, and I got out of high school, I didn't have any money to go to college. And my father talked to a friend of his friend to say, give my son a job in your warehouse. Yeah. And, and so I got a job in a warehouse. And I worked there for three months. And I tried to do the best I could, you know, I'm not a dumb dumb guy. I, you know, I worked hard. And on the end of the third month, the owner of the company, who knew my dad, call me in and he said, You're fired. I said, for what he says. He said, You're not made for this digit, not for you. And I went home, and I talked to my friend. And I just told him, it's terrible. Yeah. And, and then, of course, what I didn't know is that that was the beginning of me realizing I've got to go back to university. And so sometimes, what we think are bad things happen for reasons that we just never know. But they change the direction of our life. And it sounds like, you know, and the other thing that my friend said, and he said it a few times when I was young, which is when you think that you know, the right thing for yourself. How do you know? Why are you so sure? You never know what could happen if you did that. And so he really helped me to, to open my mind to let things happen. And understand that everything happens for a reason. Is there anything that you would add to that?

Nesli Girgin 07:55
Yes, I think this is so important. Whoever needs to hear this. If any of our dreams doesn't occur, it means there is a better way for us. God guides and we have to be patient, we have to be kind to ourselves. Because we are sometimes worrying so much. And it doesn't need it doesn't necessary but we might, we may not change this worrying, but it is we must be kind to ourselves, because we do our best. We can lost millions of dollars, but we can earn in other way we know, our health and our happiness is the best and the greatest gift for us. First of all, let's take care of our health and happiness. This is the best thing we have. Yep.

Andrew Stotz 09:01
So let me ask you, what is your number one goal for the next 12 months?

Nesli Girgin 09:08
Oh, my number one goal. I have some tasks. I have some projects together with wonderful team in Turkey. I want to accomplish them. When I accomplish them everybody will see on LinkedIn and because it's related between them. So that is my important task for the next three months. I delayed because of some reasons some health issues, family health issues, so that I want to accomplish them. You will see and everybody's

Andrew Stotz 09:54
exciting, exciting. You know Episode number 15 of this podcast was my friend Attila. From Turkey. Yeah, awesome. So it's a, we have a few different friends of mine from Turkey that have come on this show. Wow. And for the people who want to follow you and listen to what you've got to say, is LinkedIn the best place to do that.

Nesli Girgin 10:26
Um, I am in other social media platforms so LinkedIn is a challenging platform. Because there are many challenges over there are many issues. If we are trying to show up with posts, many people are worrying because they don't get likes. They don't have enough visibility for their experiences for their knowledge. But I, I, everybody, whoever listened this i in i suggest and encourage them to not give up to write commands to write their thoughts sincerely for their other connections and followers to increase their visibility. A the best platform is LinkedIn for me for business and for job seekers for networking. In addition to other social media platforms, of course, we are loving to be over there. But LinkedIn is my top place.
