A Reflection On Our Journey

Hey there, Tarun from Milkshake 🥤
Today, I wanted to take time to reflect on my journey thus far.
I hope this inspires one person today.
A Reflection On Our Journey
When I first started an email marketing agency with my business partner Huss…
I was studying at a university whilst working a full-time job.
That meant I was juggling three big things at the same time.
It was HARD.
How hard?
My days looked like this:
🔴 Go to sleep at night
🔴 Have client meetings THROUGHOUT the night, like 2am or 3am (I’m an Aussie 😂)
🔴 Go back to sleep again
🔴 Wake up at 6am to go to work
I did this for about a YEAR (yeah I’m still alive lol)…
Until eventually it was time to go all in on my business.
And for anyone who has made the leap from full-time work into full-time business may know…
It is the hardest and scariest decision you will ever make in your life.
Even up until today, it was the toughest decision I had to make in my life hands down.
But I knew I had to make the jump, what’s the worst that could happen?
I knew I would never be ready.
Once I made that leap to go all in, things started clicking.
I began to love the game of business.
It ticked all the right boxes:
✅ Working for myself
✅ Working with an amazing team for all over the world
✅ Professional growth
✅ Never ending challenges
✅And things were only gonna get better…
Since then, we’ve worked with over 75+ Ecommerce brands.
We’ve generated over $40,000,000 in email/SMS revenue for clients.
We’ve helped countless business scale to 7 and 8-figures (and beyond!)
And one of my personal proudest achievements…
Creating a company culture which thrives on positivity and praise.
With 15+ team members at Milkshake Media, I am truly blessed with having an amazing team that have helped me develop into a better person.
It’s truly amazing to see what 4 years of hard work can do when I look back.
But as sweet as this victory is for us…
We’re just getting started.
Our ultimate Vision for Milkshake Media is to generate $1 BILLION DOLLARS in total email/SMS revenue for all of our clients.
You read that right. $1,000,000,000. Nine zeros.
At our current stage, we still have a long way to go and a lot of clients to servce.
But I know we are up for the task.
This has been the most challenging and rewarding journey of my life.
And I’m looking forward to all the challenges that are yet to come. 🎉
See you in the next one!
