It’s important to learn to reach higher goals and get rid of the thoughts like “I don’t deserve it”, “I am not that good”, etc.
⠀
I have a problem that I cannot believe in my own ability to do certain things until I meet someone who has done that already.
⠀
I need to talk to that person, ask a lot of questions, make sure they are real and - voilà - I become confident that I would be able to reach their level as well.
⠀
I had the same problem back in 2014 - I thought it would be impossible to get a full scholarship to do my masters in the USA until I saw another student’s video where she shared her story of getting full financial assistance. And I gave it a shot.
⠀
This is a picture of @danlok and I - his company makes over $10,000,000 a year. It sells services, so there aren’t many costs. I would say he takes home at least $100,000 a month. Motivated me hugely to reach my personal income goal!

8 years in business (wow, can’t believe we actually started in 2011 at the age of 21) and still learning.

My current areas of much-needed growth:
⠀
(1) hiring and finding the right people faster
⠀
(so far my team and I mastered a skill of fast firing - we give a candidate around a month or two to prove herself and then we part ways, because dragging someone just drains resources out of the team. I am glad all of my companies combined are over 80 people strong, and some of them are like family already).
⠀
But making less mistakes during interviews is something I am still looking to master. Any books on that topic?
⠀
(2) marketing - this is a life-long process, I learn something new all the time (mostly while watching what other companies/entrepreneurs do, the best way, by the way).
⠀
⚠️Who I am looking for at the moment:
⠀
- Sales manager for my YouTube and Instagram (advanced English, experience in sales. Apply here - http://bit.ly/saleslinguamarina)
⠀
- Courses manager (native-speaker, based

What’s been going on:
- I can only work for 2 hours a day max, which means I can barely answer my texts and emails and record a video for my course, if I am lucky. However, this helps a lot with prioritizing things
- Emily has attended a conference call with us - she was pretty vocal! She has also attended a business meeting, which she enjoyed a lot, since it was outside
- We have another business meeting in Silicon Valley with @grishin later this week - we’ll see how it goes
⠀
I have a girl who comes and helps us with cooking and cleaning three times a week - but I wish she could just live with us (that’s what a lot of people do here, especially by having an au pair come and stay with the family - google it!)
⠀
I don’t like the idea of having a nanny right now - I want Emily to spend as much time as possible with us, even if this means attending investor and business meetings 🚀

P.S. Emily is 2 weeks old in the photo!
