motivators, plus

My friend, with whom I am now in Poland. When he came into my office, that he did not have anything but a laptop and a few thousand dollars left over from going to sea as a navigator. He rented me a corner, taking my same table, and opened at the table maritime agency personnel. In fact, at that time, his agency was kept on parole, and a familiar one in the St. Petersburg office of a large ship-owner, where my friend delivered her first seafarers. Almost all the money he invested in the license and advertising. And guessing. The sailors went, then he had grown his desk, the staff. Then slid away from me in the center. Year by year he only adds, though constantly whines to the lack of money. Now he earns in his pocket about two to three times longer than if kept walking into the sea, building a house. And just a week ago, he was born the second son.

My contractor for outdoor advertising. When I went into advertising, it has been hardened expert. But our full-time acquaintance took place much later in the first row of orders. Later, we talked a few times, when the objects dangled in. The aunt of Ufa, there are still living parents. Brother in Belarus. And it is in Kaliningrad. Its a small agency for outdoor stands, the remainder of the section with a partner, with whom began the business. Before the crisis hit, the city changed the rules of the outdoor advertising, and it almost destroyed her business. But the crisis has finished and does it. In fact, there was the question of whether to shut the fuck all. but nothing. Included a financial chess, staff changed the payment scheme, partially reduced the staff kept the balls a few customers and gradually stretched out on the bread crumbs to the normal order. Recently, differentiated its business by buying a printing machine for printing operations. Not to say that zhiruet, but does not die of hunger.

My client - furniture-. Manufacturer of one and two of his accountants, serving the company and its company store, the wife. He himself - a layer between wholesalers and manufacturing. From the appearance of the plant. Just so arranged things - he is engaged in sales and factory production only. In the past year amid the crisis, the owner of the factory decided that smacked of 5-7% - is too much and translated it to the rank of an ordinary wholesaler. What happened? . My client is exactly sat on the ass and just did not do anything. For him, all done wholesalers, who came and said, ' Look, let as before, we have them ( the factory ) do not understand! ' . Now everything is fine again. Two or three times a year, he and his family goes on vacation somewhere where you do not get through. Not because there is no roaming. He just turns off the phone.

My friend, who on Friday had gone to India for a month. just take a walk. A child with a golden spoon in his mouth: Dad - a diplomat, his grandfather - KGB general, will not want to get under the patronage of. He graduated from the naval college, but did not go to sea. Worked in construction supply manager, or someone like him, and then went to investors who have invested in rental cars. Part of the amount he has invested his. Today, the business ensures it is quite comfortable existence, and of so little, and it's almost all scattered on the staff and debugged to the disgrace that he ripped from idleness, and occasionally breaks into adventures. That surpasses the car from Moscow itself, the bike masters, here is now gone to India.

My friend portalschik. When he began to make a website, it worked something like a corporate site admin. Over time it became a portal for more and more popular, but the money did not bring. And he continued to write under his parsers, services, confident that the best advertising site - a loyal audience. Three years later, he appeared first advertisers. And he made five news service, and even hired prodazhnika. Now it is the most popular portal in the city with a team of more than 10 people, its news service and does not have any offbiznesa behind. Absolutely independent project. And he is sitting at work in slippers with the same pack of cigarettes on the table, and sitting in slippers and cigarettes. Even bought the machine uses only the wife.

This is an incomplete list of people with whom I communicate. The successes of some very very inconspicuous at first glance. But I always watch for people who are trying to go up, not so much trying to make money and cut down how much to build something of their own that will give them confidence in the world.
