Hey everyone. Today I have a #tbt for you. (and much more - read below ↓) I guess, ...

... most of you know my man @yuriy.stakhiv (Ambassador for Switzerland). Well, this dude is a killer sales machine.

Back in the days, I used to work in sales for many years, selling various products from physical products to digital products to people besides my creative work as art director.

By chance I got to know Yuriy (only by phone). Because my former colleague was too lazy to explain to Yuriy what we were distributing, I did it.

But to keep it short, I will skip our lovestory 😁

Many people today want to start a business, but at the same time they are looking for many excuses why they can't do it.

"I have no time; I have no idea; I have no laptop; I have no internet; I have no one to help me; I have no education; I don't know where to start; I am not qualified" etc.

Two points applied to Yury - no internet, no laptop. But while many complained, Yuriy simply grabbed his old broken-screen cell phone and began searching his village for free or unsecured WIFI to access the Internet where he could dial in after work.

Imagine Yuriy standing outside in the cold behind other people's houses in the winter after work to get (steal 😁) internet access and work on himself and his success, while most people were already at home having fun with their families, watching TV or preparing for the next day.

Anyway, things changed quickly. After just one year of his extra hustle after work we started to travel together. Party and work in Spain. Delicious food in Milan. Dubai all inclusive. And while Charline and I lived on Crete Island 🇬🇷 Yuriy got a small apartment there as well. There’s so much more, but I’ll keep it short.

With all that being said - Yuriy is one of the best employees, business partners and friends you can have. Everyone needs a Yuriy. You’re the man brother @yuriy.stakhiv 👊🏼 You work precisely, conscientiously and one can always rely on you. 💯

Dear readers. Maybe you are in the same situation as many other people. You want to start your own business or learn something new and don't know how or where to start?

I have started 6 educations in my life. I have broken off all of them. Everything I learned, I learned mainly through YouTube, blogs and trial and error. (Yes, I'm the guy who says school is useless in most cases) There are many sources where you can learn for free. And if you have money left over, you can buy high quality courses you need for your plans. (And of course also to save time you would need for the research for all the information you need.)

But what if you work full time and maybe have children or other responsibilities?

👉🏽 The one hour extra hustle a day can change your life.

For example - learning a language. 30 minutes every day with the free app Duolingo would mean 15 hours of knowledge per month.

If you learn one hour a day, that's 30 hours of knowledge you have acquired. And since you learn every day, you won't forget so quickly. This gives a total of 360 hours of knowledge per year which would mean 1 month and approx. 2 weeks of full time language learning at 8 hours a day.

What do you think? After one and a half months of full time learning a language, could you order something to eat in that language or have a small talk about the weather and find new friends?

An extra hour of hustle a day is worth it. No matter what you want to learn, after one year you are one and a half month ahead of the rest.

But wait, what would 4 hours extra hustle a day mean? Mindblowing 🤯

I love you all, stay healthy and have a great start into the new week. 💯❤️
