For the past couple of years, we have witnessed a steep growth in the number of new businesses being established worldwide. And according to the smallbizgenius, almost 62 percent of billionaires in the United States are self-made. Taking notes from the statistic reports provided by the Global Entrepreneurship Model entrepreneurs from 2018 to 2019, it was stated that more than half of the global population have agreed on the concept of starting your own business is considered an excellent career approach.
However, some aspiring entrepreneurs are hesitating from taking the leap into a self-made business career. Lack of funds has notably been one of the major reasons behind their reluctance to go forward with their business plans. Fortunately, this will no longer be the case once we share Filip Boksa’s successful entrepreneur story.
Filip Zbigniew Boksa is a Polish entrepreneur, investor, and inventor who currently holds the seat of CEO of two of his companies, ‘Sassy Egg Inc.’ and ‘BookingKoala.’
Filip’s entrepreneurship spirit had been blooming since his high school years. At the age of 19, he discovered his love for innovation and tech, which helped him design his company ‘King of Maids’, which he launched in Chicago alongside his friend in 2013.
Before starting his business, he had no prior experience on how to manage a business, NOR did he have the funds to grow his business. But his passion and determination helped him go through with the business plan, and within a year, he was able to stabilize his business revenue. Soon, he decided to drop out of college and pursue a full-time entrepreneurship career.
‘King of Maids’- a company that helps customers connect with maids to clean their homes through a custom online booking form- starting generating $5,000,000 worth of revenue in 3 years since its establishment. Since his company was gaining a lot of popularity amongst his customers, he decided that it was time to go ahead and focus on expanding the company’s’ services on a larger geographical scale. Currently, the ‘King of Maids’ provides its unique and excellent services to many cities across the United States such as Houston, Dallas, and New York, to name a few.
With the company showing a lot of promise for future progress, Boksa decided to create further opportunities in his entrepreneurship business. Instead of selling away the software that he used to create and grow ‘King of Maids,’ he considered the option of re-designing it and establish his other business, ‘BookingKoala.’
Initially, ‘BookingKoala’ was made to help improve the customer service experience of ‘King of Maids’, but later on, it was renovated to allow other businesses to use its service features and strategies to encourage profitable growth of diverse businesses.
Currently, Boksa is focused on turning BookingKoala into a billion-dollar company WITHOUT taking outside funds. He has also been actively involved in other business ventures, such as co-founding and serving as the CEO of Sassy Egg Inc. and also having ownership over the software ‘SalesHangry’.
His notable actions have been featured on reputable platforms such as Entrepreneur, Inc. Magazine, and Forbes. Boksa hopes that with his story, he can inspire people into starting their own prospering companies and not letting the fear of being unsuccessful in the business world take control of their dreams.
