In 30 years, I wrote an article "15 Tips twenty of whom thirty». Then I just wanted to express their thoughts, and the article was emotional places. Now I'm 35, and I have something to add.

But first, to understand the context - that changed my life for the last five years.

• I went to work in another country.
• I lived 2.5 years abroad, I realized that, came back, did not want to be an immigrant.
• He became a father for the second time.
• More visited about a dozen countries.
• I started online education and became in this area one of the most successful.
• He wrote and published the book "Summary of a million" in collaboration.

1. Do not give up travel

There were a lot of situations where I said to myself, "I'm tired, I do not want to go anywhere better to lie down on the couch this weekend", but went to airport, boarded a plane and flew to a new world that opened in front of me immediately after planting and every time made me it's better.

After 14-hour flight from San Francisco to Frankfurt with a cold and sleeplessness, I took an oath to fly in the USA. Eighteen months later, I flew to the United States again on the way back and thought about what I want to again next year to come back.

I flew to Malta and woke up three hours earlier, just bypass the blocks around to the beginning of my studies. I walked the 5 km walk in San Jose for a conference just to watch the city. I walked 30 km in Manhattan, because he could not stop to admire this beauty. I am grateful to each of his trip and any new experience.

2. Do not keep money in the bank

The Bank, in which I kept the money, ceased to return deposits, but I was lucky: I had a small amount on your account, and I received compensation from the Deposit Guarantee Fund. In the same pot people kept on deposit more than $ 1 million, and they were able to get only 10 thousand dollars.

Money can not be stored in the bank, even in a foreign language. invest in real estate, business, or, at the very least, buy a good car. If you really need it in the bank, only in dollars and only in public office, as it usually is covered with 100% deposit guarantees.

3. Do not trust, do not fear, do not ask

I heard for the first time by the group "Tatu" in his youth, but later realized the essence.

Do not believe: can not 100% trust anyone except his family. Many of those whom I trusted in matters of workers, as a result of the approach or fall short of expectations. Trust - this is important, but it is always only a path, not a goal.

Do not be afraid: my strongest fears It turned out to be just a shadow on the wall. When I finally figured it out and began to go out to meet them, they quickly disappeared.

Do not ask: never anything, especially those who are stronger than you. Offer themselves and give themselves all!

Many times I was in a situation where I had to ask, and many times I was refused. Then I stopped asking and just became articulate their conditions and wait until there is someone who would be willing to accept them. And I started to get a result.

During the first consultation summary I asked for $ 10, and many refused. And I continued to persuade and seek a compromise. Then I began to articulate the value of $ 50, 100, 200 and finally 250, and while some refuse, there are also those who pay.

Better to do and apologize for what he did (if required by the situation) than to ask for a long time and never do. Many times I've to wait for permission or consent for anything from a third party, and it lasted painfully long. And then I just started to operate. And you know what, to apologize or explain, I had only 10% of cases, and I absolutely did not regret what he did.

4. Remember that the house where you were born

In 30 years, I went to work in another country, but realized after two years: emigration is not for me. I did not feel comfortable even though the standard of living was higher. All my dreams were about to return home and to be around her and not someone else's.

The experience of living abroad has been very helpful and I would recommend everyone to live a couple of years outside the country. But there remain no sense. The capital of your own country does not yield to any foreign countries.

5. Take care of parents

The truth of life is that our pension system does not workAnd so you just have to take the role of the pension fund itself. In 25 years, I have realized this and started out small, gradually increasing the size of the "pension" parents as they grow their own income. Fulfill the dreams of their parents - more than just as much to be proud of in this life?

6. Invest in yourself

The problem of work in most companies is that you are surrounded by people who do not have to have affairs. They simply work out your salary and all. They are not interested in their future: they think only about today and about how they had not been fired. the company's future and, of course, your personal future they too do not care.

The problem here is that you will try our best and work for the future, as you will interfere with people who do not care.

If you want to achieve something in life, you need to invest in themselves, but means to spend money on training investment and their own business. The only way they will never be wasted.

7. Do not listen to others

So many times I gave advice to people who I have not asked, the same time I was later convinced that these tips do not cost anything. Especially when they concerned actions that I was doing wrong, like everyone else.

I was advised:

• take the time to live;
• do not write a lot in Facebook;
• not to make their online courses;
• not to remove non-professional video.

Every time I do the opposite, I won. Now for my advice in the format "Misha, do not do that" are a sure sign that I was on the right track.

8. Learn English

90% of my successes are directly dependent on the degree of proficiency. If I did not know English, I would be only 5% are present.

In the practice of the language, I had a very different experience from one session per month to two weeks of intense, when I spoke in English for seven hours a day.

There is nothing more effective than one session of the English once a week for 5-10 years. If more often there is a risk that due to unforeseen failures in your chart you have to cancel a class, and in the end you give up and drop out. If less, the effect will not be.

And of course, read a book in English.

9. Write a book

It's amazing how easy and difficult at the same time to write and publish a book. But the authors of books - this is rare, and it is much appreciated. In my company of 150 people wrote a book just me. In my last company of 4500 people a book written a maximum of ten. In addition, a good book - it's an income of about 10 thousand dollars a year with the right of its support.

10. Do not work with the asshole

Several times in my life, they came across to me, and I was looking for every possible way to approach him, but realized that they do not fix it, so you just need to try to work with them. Sometimes it is necessary to resign or get fired asshole.

11. not creepy

The work and social networks I've seen some people suck up to others in the hope of access to any benefits. Usually such suck-up or set at naught, and treat them as a whole is worse than those who defend their point of view and arguing.

12. Watch for burnout

It comes inevitably. For myself, I even brought a special formula and wrote article about this theme. According to this formula, and live.

13. Find a Psychologist

We'll go to the dentist check and clean the teeth and precisely flee when had the seal. We'll go to a therapist, if the temperature stays a week or a cough for a long time does not pass. But we do not go to a psychologist just to check their condition and certainly not flee, when there was a conflict in our lives. And it's not the norm!

To the psychologist do not go "crazy". They are sent to a psychiatrist. To the psychologist successful people go to become even more successful.

I went to a psychologist only 32 and I'm very sorry, I did not find it sooner. My psychologist is not just preparing me for difficult negotiations and just getting to their successful outcome of bonuses (which were not committed, and had been paid only out of gratitude).

14. Buy things that change your world

I often indulged in things that you want, in favor of a more pragmatic purchases. And often it was money down the drain. Sometimes I allowed myself to things that dreamed, and reluctantly parted with the money, and a month later I again had enough money and favorite thing.

I did not realize it for a long time effect until the age of 31 have not won the BMW X5. To the other X5 born Misha. And it's not about Ponte. It's about how you merge with the machine, you feel every detail of her and yourself become like ten heads above.

It's not always about the price, I was lucky to buy a car five times cheaper than its original price. But it changed my world.

15. Win impostor syndrome

You will always feel that you are not good enough for the new position, in order to ask for a raise in order to start a business. So it will be until you win impostor syndrome and you do not understand, what a thrill - to do something, what do you complete zero to walk this path and gain new experience. And as soon as you become to learn from your failures and rejoice in your failures, you will cease to be afraid to try new things and be born your most brilliant ideas.

16. Do only what you want, and do what you do not want

Ever since kindergarten and school, I was forced to do what I do not want. We had to sleep in the afternoon. It was impossible to laugh out loud in class. It was impossible to make fun of the teachers, and the institute - to walk in pairs. At work, it was impossible to sit on the Internet. Also it was impossible to run their online courses if you are an employee. Do you think that I have ever listened to? No, I just do not know how to do what I do not want, and I can not stop myself from what I want to do.

What it changes over time, so this is something that you learn to get along with their "Wishlist" and make the advantages of disadvantages.

17. Do not be afraid that you will be fired

If you really do it right, sooner or later you get fired. Nobody talks about it, but the fact is that 50% of all layoffs in the world isWORKFORCE TURNOVER AROUND THE WORLD not at the request of the employee. And the average person changesEmployee Tenure Summary 5-10 jobs in a lifetime. This means that work on five areas of work and did not get fired - it is only 3 per cent probability. Like this.

If you are fired, you're doing something right. I went to meet his desires, not caved in, did not stop. Dismissal - it is a conflict. If not conflict, you get ripped off to the bone. Imagine a stranger comes to your house and make everything, and you are afraid of conflict. How long will you hold out so in life? Watch the movie Yes Man and remember that Steve Jobs was fired from Apple.
