Yaro Starak, Co-Founder, InboxDone Yaro began his entrepreneurial career at 18 years old, starting a website about a trading card game. A few years later he launched an online essay editing business, then began blogging and podcasting about entrepreneurship in 2005. From day one, Yaro focused on freedom as his main business objective, but it became clear that the biggest reason he didn't have the kind of freedom he wanted was because of email. Email customer support, email sales followup and dealing with all the day-to-day messages that come in from newsletters, software and app notifications consumed up to five hours of his day, every day -- and it never stopped! The more success Yaro had with his business, the more emails showed up. Because of the volume of email coming in, he couldn't provide the level of customer and sales support that he knew he should. Everything changed when Yaro hired his first email assistant, who completely took over his business inbox, unlocking the kind of freedom he always wanted. Yaro has been spreading the word about InboxDone since the company's inception in 2017, checking his email just once per month. He continues to write, podcast and travel the world, knowing that his email is safely in the hands of his talented team. https://inboxdone.com/ https://inboxdone.com/application-call/ Learn more about your ad choices.
