Lets talk advertising?

Fifteen years ago, if you’d asked me how much it takes to grow a business like mine, I probably would have written down a big number with a euro sign beside it.

The reality? I haven’t spent a single cent on paid advertising—not a penny. Everything I’ve built has come from hard work, consistency, and real connections, proving that success doesn’t always come from a big budget but from passion and perseverance.

This Tuesday, Code Stack takes on its biggest project yet—a national contract that marks a huge milestone. No fancy words, no suits—just me, my computer, and a love for what I do: Design, Code & Create. Excited doesn’t even cover it!

Code Stack was born out of loss, built in memory of a great friend who I can still feel pushing me forward every day. And now, I truly understand what they meant by “2.5 kids”—because Code Stack is a 2.5-woman team. One who’s no longer here, and one who quietly supports from the background.

If you have a dream, find a way to make a living from it. Because when you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. FACT.
