My path crossed with the venture warriors for the first time during the pandemic, during an interview. I heard their name and continued on my way. Two years passed and then they came across me again on social media.

Black sheep going against the herd….. At first, I just thought how interesting they were and moved on.

Then they came across me a couple more times and I said, try my luck. I filled out the form. Then the process continued with a news that I would attend an interview. I attended the interview.

Entrepreneurship, lean model, blue ocean model…. they were all foreign terms. I said no way, this is not a job. Subjects that I did not understand what they were and had not heard before. After a while, I received an email saying that I was accepted and I was surprised. There is no harm in trying. Let’s try this too, it was a process that started. A process that started with curiosity and uncertainty, Adaptation, boot camp, master camp suddenly fell like a bomb right in the middle of my life and I found myself in this adventure. The adventure lasted a year for me and I graduated.

What did I learn? I learned that I should trust the voice of the naughty girl inside me more. That naughty girl is stubborn, does not give up what she holds, does not give up even if she is defeated, fights despite everything… A little naughty girl who asks questions and investigates just because she is curious, looks ahead without judging. Her pure curiosity gave her the chance to realize her life purpose.

Completing the process was like embracing the unknown. It showed me one by one the dreams I had in my life, sometimes realizing it and sometimes not. It reminded me of the conscious and unconscious choices I made to realize them. This process gave me the chance to realize the naughty girl’s plans.

In the program, that naughty girl discovered new hopes with children like herself. She learned to be united, to struggle with difficulties to achieve her goal and to start her own business.

She learned that she could fight for a job that was blended with her life purpose, love of nature and the values ​​she fought for. She had the chance to realize her dreams and hopes. Give voice to the naughty girl inside you, you will find the right path.

Life sometimes opens invisible doors for us. We need to enter that door without fear and surrender to the flow of life. The struggles you will make there, your gains, your losses… everything will guide you on your life journey.

Thank you for everything.

Thank you Berke Coach for giving us this opportunity.
