Jalmari Kivinen
Hello, I'm Jalmari Kivinen and originally from Finland. During the last years I've lived and worked around the world in multiple locations like Ireland, England, Estonia, Thailand, and Malaysia.
Education: Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration (Information Systems). To be honest, not sure how much formal education matters when hustling in the world of online business.
Started my first online business in 2008 while studying at university. Last 5 years have had a laser-sharp focus on building solid online sales funnels.
Many Paths to the Mountaintop
There are several ways to achieve excellent results. It depends heavily on one’s personality which to choose, and my philosophy is to be an infinite learner.
When facing a tricky question, I can spoon industry knowledge from countless sources:

Books
I’ve read (and speed learned) +300 books during the last years. Topics have varied from traditional business to User Experience (UX), sales copywriting, leadership, self-management, consumer psychology, programming, growth hacking etc…
Lived around the world
During last years I’ve lived and worked in various locations like Dublin (Ireland), Tallin (Estonia), Chiang Mai (Thailand), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and London (England).
