My message in Business magazine of Estonia - ajakiri.ettevotja.ee

LEAD ENTREPRENEURSHIP WITH PASSION
I am 23 years old and have established three businesses, worked in 15 different countries, met world leaders, and powerful business people. I don't put money as my aim, but somehow it always comes to me. I achieved because I had passion.

Find reasons to move forward
I wanted to start something new and I needed to earn money. So at the age of 18, not knowing anything about business and being away from my home country, I started my first one. I begun consulting men on how to meet and communicate with women to build relationships. I succeeded in it because I developed creative ideas how to attract clients, learned how to make a budget, how to make PR for my enterprise and so on. It was a crazy time for me, because I struggled a lot. I needed to find time for studies and to advertise my services to find clients. What kept me moving forward was understanding that first of all I really like what I am doing but secondly hunger for success. I didn’t have any knowledge, just will to succeed and to be successful. Help others to suceed After a while, I realized that I want to move forward and learn more about business consulting for companies. I knew that I loved to help people, that I have an ability to see peoples mistakes and problems, and find amazing ways how to solve them. I knew that in order to be happy you need to help others by your actions. This was my dreams and I felt a passion to fulfill it. So I started my way towards it. First of all I starter to go into company offices, presenting myself to secretary and telling that I have an appointment with their BOSS. It didn’t work always but most often they took me to their offices and that was what I needed, because it was better to explain my reason for contacting them face to face. I explained to them that I admire what they have done in their lives, how they run their businesses, and that one of my dreams is to be an entrepreneur. I told them that I have a plan of how to be successful in my life, and what dreams I want to reach. At that point I wanted to become a business consultant, helping people to develop their companies and solve problems that occur. And they helped me. They told me stories of their lives, shared with me their experience and knowledge. After a while I felt that I am ready to start my company in business consultancy. I went to different companies and offered my work for free for next two weeks. And if they liked my work they could pay me. And again I succeeded and gain a large experience. It all become possible only because I believed in my goal, and I knew that what I was doing was what I really wanted. It was my dream and I had a passion towards it.

Life goes on
Later I took on many different professions. I worked in non-governmental organization AIESEC, where I was working as a volunteer. I worked as a business consultant around 15 different countries in international organizations. I left my university studies to travel around Europe by AUTO – STOP to experience new adventures, meet new people and broaden my world view. I was not afraid to start new things and leave behind old success. I always felt passion for self-development and I was not afraid to fail. I understood that if you are afraid to fail you will never succeed.

On the way to new adventures
These days I run my own business in international trade and also work as business and communication consultant, but I am thinking about leaving it all behind and go to Asia or Africa for a year or two to start my life from scratch. Why? I want to do it. Just because I feel that I want to put myself to the limits, and find new opportunities where I can develop myself and meet new people, to gain new experience in life. I believe life is too short to be stuck in routine.

"Where you stand be the soul of that place" anonymus quote
If we want to succeed and be happy, we need to jump of the page. We need to strive for our passion, for our dreams. My life credo was always to take everything that life offers. You see from my story that I never had knowledge when I started. I was only 18 years old, and now I am only 23. But I always believed that it doesn’t matter how much you know, how much experience or education degree that you have. If you have a head on your shoulders and passion in your heart, you will always reach what you want. I understand that I can fail in new beginnings. I am afraid to leave everything that I achieved, and start something new. But if you will be sitting without doing nothing, without risking, you will always be in the same place. Don’t be afraid to start something new. And trust me you will succeed even if you fail.
