Congratulations, e-Residency Estonia! Bravo, 11 beautiful years! It mirrors my timing here in Estonia, same 11 years. When I first time heard of e-Residency Estonia program, I couldn't have possibly imagined what it turns to become. How much of help, success, how much investments, how much taxes, how many businesses opened, effort of how many man-hours, how many international relations and people believed in it and have joined the program as promoters, as enterpreneurs, a big family of free expats and locals have come together to make it work. One very kind person introduced me the program back in 2015. At that point, I only started my journey here in Estonia. I had my studies ongoing at the Tallinn School of Economics (Tallinna Majanduskool). In 2015 how not ready I was for what's to come. When I think about it, it wouldn't be possible for me to join the program and promote it since 2015. Why? Simply because I had to figure everything out by myself, to learn and to test it, to get more local practical experiences in my profession, to try the system working in progress and face the results. And in 5 years I was ready to begin. I felt the inner itch and push, a potential converted into the energy to join the program, like it was the very right thing to do for me. I felt like I belong there, that's my place to be. So, it became personal. Now, I feel related to the program more than ever. Who could expect that? =) What you believe the most is your path. Follow it, go your way in your own tempo as long as you stay true to your inner feeling about it. And as always, the e-Residency Estonia program will be there to support your interesting developments in your beautiful journey. #eResidency #eResidencyEstonia #eResidencyEstonia11years
