I have come a long way to success and am ready to help you achieve the same.
Yes, I do believe that my life is divided into two parts. Previos life is before I realized how to be happy and enjoy my life. At school I was shy, nervos and timid child, I didn’t have a lot of friend and stayed out noisy parties. As a result I had quite a lot of free time to study hard, what I actually did. That helped me to enter Columbia University. During my university years I studied, read a lot of books and worked as a waiter. I had a couple of friends to hang out with and that was my routine.
I was asked to give a speech from a graduating student’s perspective. I have never given a public speech to so much people before and was very nervos. My friend said to me ‘fake it until you make it’ and I started my preparation. I wrote the speech and practiced every day for a couple of month, I was definitely going outside my comfort zone. When the day X has come, I was still nervous but over-prepared.
I faked it until I made it. The speech was accepted by the audience very well, I was proud of making it. That was the day when I realized that everything is possible and all you need is to work hard, clearly see the final goal and every day make at least small step towards it. After graduation I worked for a couple of big banks and companies and continued to give speeches about my experience, life and business. After that I found my startup Big Fish, found investors, created successful business model and sold it.
Today I’m financially independent, happily married, travel a lot and leadershiping. I believe that my mission today is to teach as many people as I can how to succeed in life, how to be happy and live every single day with a purpose. Believe me, it isn’t hard and reading my story is already a forst step. Congratulations! You are on the right way, Looking forward to hearing from you. Cheers!
