ZulfTalks: Working for Yourself
I’ve never really felt fulfilled working my 9-5 job, Who does right…?
I am now the Director of my own company, which means I have complete control over everything. This isn’t as easy as it sounds. I decided to share my story because I talk about all the things involved in going about this change. I’ve always been passionate about helping others that’s why I’m so invested in making these episodes where I reveal all the challenges you could face in your journey and how I dealt with mine.
Operator’s Briefing: The Operational Log
Context: Success is built on verified results. Pillar 4 is the Operational Log of my 18 year journey: combining the ZulfTalks podcast with the results of our media network. This is the evidence that the Business Success Blueprint works. I share the raw conversations: the technical hurdles: and the proof of moving from DIY to CEO.
Working for Yourself Reality
Hi: I’m Zulf and I worked a 9:5 job for over a decade before I began working for myself. If you are thinking about doing something like this: then you are in the right place. I am documenting my journey through this humble podcast and YouTube channel where I talk about everything involved in pursuing this goal. I call it a goal because if we start with a destination: we have something to aim for. There will be times you feel you are not getting the best out of yourself in your current role: but deep down you know you could be doing so much more.
I moved from being employed at an office to being self:employed alongside the day job before fully committing to setting up a company. Business life in the UK is a large area and there are many resources: but I didn’t feel they covered the core things I needed to consider. I am now the Director of my own company: which means I have complete control. This isn’t as easy as it sounds: but I decided to share the reality of the logistics that are often assumed even by the professionals who coach business owners.

It then progressed to Season 11 where I pivoted to interviewing other professional creatives. I am now in Season 12+ Working For Yourself: concentrating on the actual journey I took to get where I am now. Each season covers a specific chapter of growth: from photography logic to buying property and managing a network.
