My Journey: From Student Developer to Service Business Owner
A few years ago, I never imagined I’d go from experimenting with simple code in my college dorm room to launching a thriving service brand — Busy Order. But here I am, working with real clients, building websites, launching apps, and helping others bring their ideas to life through technology.
The Humble Beginning
It all started with a second-hand laptop and a free YouTube tutorial. I wasn't born a tech wizard — I was just a curious student who stumbled upon a web development class. When I created my first “Hello World” page, I felt empowered. I realized I could build something out of nothing, and that realization lit a fire in me.
Learning Outside the Classroom
College gave me the basics, but I knew I had to go beyond the syllabus. I took on small gigs on platforms like Fiverr — fixing layouts, creating static pages, and learning on the fly. These small tasks taught me big lessons and helped me grow my confidence.
“I didn’t have fancy tools, just determination, YouTube, and Stack Overflow!”
My First Client (And the Confidence It Gave Me)
I’ll never forget the excitement of landing my first real client through Instagram — a local clothing brand. I built their entire website from scratch and when they loved it, I knew this was my path. That single project was a game-changer for my mindset and my career.
Busy Order Is Born
I created Busy Order to represent hustle, creativity, and service. What started as one client became ten, and now I proudly serve students, startups, and small business owners with:
- 🔥 Student Project Development
- 🎨 Custom Web & App Design
- 🛠️ Blogger & WordPress Setup
- 📞 Tech Consultation & Mentoring
The Real Challenges Behind the Scenes
It wasn’t all smooth sailing. I battled self-doubt, imposter syndrome, time pressure, and inconsistent income. There were times I questioned if I was good enough. But I kept learning, improving, and delivering value to my clients.
Moments That Kept Me Going
- Receiving my first international payment in USD - Hearing from a student who got a job using a project I helped build - Ranking Busy Order on Google - Juggling 5+ projects while studying for exams
“Each small win was a reminder that I’m building something meaningful.”
What’s Next for Me
I want to scale Busy Order into a full-fledged tech brand, help more students like me become creators, and launch my own digital learning space. My dream is to make tech accessible for everyone — especially those who think they’re “not techy enough.”
From Me to You
If you’re just starting out, remember — you don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need to start. Learn what you can, apply it, and never stop building. I began with zero investment and today I’m running my own business.
