Ethan Donati: From University Failure to Successful CEO

Just a couple of years ago, Ethan failed at the University of Melbourne because he just could not cope. He had to do odd jobs that he did not like just to get by. He did not even have many friends or an active social life. The root cause of all these issues was his crippling social anxiety. However, he was able to overcome this and become a successful CEO. What is surprising is that one of his businesses, Sold Out Seminars, actually deals with public speaking, something that he dreaded just a couple of years ago. The business has become so successful that he has even graced TEDx events and other prestigious speaking events globally.

So how did Ethan overcome his social anxiety? Well, according to the entrepreneur, watching his grandfather struggle with a debilitating motor neuron disease made the mortality of man very clear to him. It made him realize he was not going to live forever and motivated him to stop letting social anxiety control him. This gave him the drive he needed to overcome social anxiety and start a public speaking/seminar business.

By the time Ethan decided to venture into public speaking, he was already making money online. He started doing online businesses from very early on in his life, but he had never really committed to the digital lifestyle. Nevertheless, when he failed university, he opted to focus on online business because it did not involve talking to people. It is after achieving success online that he decided to stop letting his social anxiety control him and started his public speaking/seminar business.

In recent months, Ethan has been able to consolidate his digital marketing and public speaking businesses into a hybrid agency. The agency does everything necessary for clients as long as they have the right foundations and play their part. Through the agency, he has been able to help both new and established clients increase their sales and achieve the success they seek. He has also been able to boost his seminar business and become a renowned public speaker and public speaking coach.

Ethan does face challenges from time to time in his business. But when he does, he has motivations that keep him going. For instance, he regularly reminds himself of the teachers and friends who never thought he would amount to anything in life, and this gives him the extra motivation to work harder to prove them wrong. He also regularly reminds himself of how unknown and insignificant he was in school, and this gives him the motivation to work harder and become even more successful than he is right now.

Ethan is now in the process of expanding his hybrid digital marketing agency and seminar business. He is also in the process of building his legacy by trying to share his story with more people through seminars and events. He hopes that by sharing his story he can inspire others to overcome their challenges like he overcame his. Ethan is also trying to build his legacy by giving people with similar stories to his speaking opportunities to share their stories and impact others positively.
