I have started on construction sites like many other students. I even managed to organize construction teams which were a little bonus to my organizational skills. But overall it was hard physical labor. I worked very hard, trying to earn all the money. Of course, this affected my health and gradually came the understanding that I won’t make so much money.
For this reason, I began to strive to earn money not with my hands but with my head I think this happened around the fifth year of the university. I consciously went to work where I could get practical experience. I got a job as an engineer at a factory. I worked at several enterprises for three years. Although since my adolescence I set a goal to work for myself, not for someone else. But for this goal it was necessary to understand how everything is arranged there, to “work” inside.
I was moving towards my dream little by little. I remember very vividly when I decided to open my company. I had about 10,000 hryvnias in cash (at that time about 1,000 dollars) and a Lanos car in credit. That’s all. And this was enough to build more or less serious business. So we can conclude that the amount of primary capital is not a determining factor for creating a successful business.

What is a determining factor? There are two main factors, first of all, you need to be obsessed and secondly love what you do. You must really love it.
