Hi! My name is Joel Hakala!

I'm an online entrepreneur from Finland. I've been doing online business since 2017. I started as a simple massage therapist in 2013. Here is a short story in a timeline format about my journey so far.Note: This website is under construction 🏗

2016 - The beginning 🌠

I started creating short stretching videos in Finnish on Facebook. People really liked them and I went from 100 to 2000 Facebook followers in five months.My first ever video: YouTube

2017 - The takeoff🚀

In February I reposted one of my previous videos to small local Facebook group with few thousand people in it. It went viral. In less than two weeks I went from 2000 followers to 20 000. I was featured in news websites. It was bat shit crazy!

I got offered a deal to write a book about self-care and body maintenance.

I made my first money online by recommending other persons online course for my audience.

Built my first own online course in couple weeks and launched it. It was one of the most exciting times in my life but also I made SO MANY mistakes and ended up feeling like I made a faceplant with the mere 7 500 euros of sales I made. Most of it went to expenses of building and marketing the course... I did ALL the newbie mistakes.

Had a relationship crisis in June, followed by really bad throat infection, followed by break up in November and burn out hit me during December holiday.

2018 - The struggle 🤕

I was struggling with the burn out mentally and physically. Business was chaotic and I was all over the place. Not much growth or anything meaningful happened this year.

I found my second mentor Sam Ovens whose free content helped me to really grasp the meaningful fundamentals of business. I was now able to see a lot of mistakes I had done and was doing.

In December 2018 I bought Sam Ovens Consulting Accelerator. I devoured the content during my christmas holiday and my world was shaken. For the first time ever I started to see the deeper side of life, business and my own psychology. This also started a period of time when it was really hard to relate to other people as my world paradigm and views had shifter radically.

I ran out of time but I will continue writing later!

Out of passion for the sport called orienteering I have founded a website which teaches people orienteering skills. Finland is a small country and orienteering is relatively small sport. This business is 100% for the sport and I don't make any profit on it.🚀 Mission driven🔬 CIRS.fi
About 25% of the population has genetics which makes the immune system susceptible for biotoxins e.g. mold, actinomycetes, lyme, VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). Immune system is unable to remove the biotoxins from the body thus resulting into Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. Most common triggering event is exposure to mold & actinomycetes from water damaged building (WBD).When the immune system is chronically inflamed it affects the whole body leading to wide range of symptoms from mood, cognitive, gut, pain all the way to weird symptoms like static shocks. CIRS is really little known even within doctors. Most people suffering from CIRS have been going from doctor to doctor with very little help or been misdiagnosed. When I got my diagnosis there was only ONE mention about CIRS in Finnish in the internet. Thus I began collecting information about CIRS in Finnish to www.CIRS.fi.
