Jobs: Anna Kondratiev, an entrepreneur, a veterinarian and cat lover

What do you do in your work?

My work is very extensive, but it is mainly associated with one - with animals. I am an entrepreneur, under my leadership, are a network of veterinary clinics "Elvet», cat MuseumArt-cafe "Republic cats"Mikrozoopark"Bugagashechka"And the center of the design and robotics"Lego th».

I was able to link the interests and work in all of its projects, and now I advise aspiring entrepreneurs about choosing a niche, define its scope and prospects of development in it.

I'm happy - period. Since happiness - this is not the end point. It's a way to live!

What is your occupation?

First education I veterinarian (diploma SPbGAVM). But also have the formation of a photographer, museum St. Petersburg State University, she graduated from the vocational training of the presidential program of the Graduate School of Management.

Even as a child I was able to correctly determine the choice of type of activity. I have always loved animals and decided to treat them. But lately, more and more I am going into the business management and supervision of projects. Now I kind of "family doctor": am treated pets of their friends.

Always believed that education not only need to get the starting of knowledge, but also because in the knowledge you can find out if this is your way to go. Optional spent on the university five years of his life, because not all professions require this.

But in high school teaching thinking structures. For example, if you take my case, I would be just a paramedic without basic higher education, which does not have information on the general structure and operation vetkliniki can lead the process to whole. Higher education - this is a very necessary thing, but not all of it is needed.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

The first - the right self-concept and faith in their own strength. These qualities are the impetus for serious action. In order to achieve certain results, you must have patience and perseverance. If you do not, it is easy to turn around in the middle, without reaching a result.

The next quality I would call kindness. That desire to help benefit the animal inspired me to action. In addition, we must be able to be surprised and do not be cynical. Much steeper than stay alive and share positive emotions with others.

Of the features that I really interfere, - slow. Fortunately, on this I have colleagues who are helping to control the deadlines. I like to start something, but do not like to finish. To get rid of this quality, I'm trying to put a time frame.

How does your workplace?

Iron

From gadgets use MacBook iPhones, tablets and Apple Watch. Always with me - your phone, tablet and watch. Mac take with me depending on the situation. Watches help get notified instantly and track physical activity during the day.

BY

Together with colleagues use «Google Drive," and "Google calendaring». With these products, all information is publicly available. Browser - Google Chrome, because all my documents originally stored in Google's cloud. I also think it is the safest and fastest browser, I like its design. In general, everything that is related to Google products, I am satisfied.

From CRM-programs can advise "Bitriks24" and "Megaplan".

Actively using Evernote. Conveniently, it allows you to plan the day, as well as not to lose the necessary notes, you can easily put all on the shelves and on the daddy. Also for fast data recording use ordinary notes on your iPhone.

When it is difficult to write something, I like to record information in the application pattern Book Creator.

Favorite of photo editors - is Fotor. There are all necessary functions - from simple filters to collages and stickers.

If there is a need to send information in large volumes, I prefer SendSpace. He never gave me an error, and it is very easy to use.

What is in your bag?

In my purse - phone, tablet, wallet, comb, headache tablets, some kind of candy, a lot of business cards and any cards, flyers printing of the transfer of all my projects. Also, I have always with a flash drive, wet wipes, cosmetic, chewing gum, the charger for your iPhone, theater tickets, student (for discounts), free admission to the Hermitage and communicating a unique card into the yards and basements Hermitage.

Yet there is a place for grocery bags. Not to buy multiple plastic bags, I always carry a folding shopping bag (and you can save without much effort).

How do you organize your time?

Plan a day helps Evernote. I try to put the plans for the day, week and month ahead. Easier to measure results when there is an action plan. «Google Calendar" always notify me about tomorrow's event or an important meeting. I try every day to bring all the necessary events.

In addition, these programs help to delegate authority: only need to configure access to your colleagues to a specific folder.

What's your daily routine?

I get up early, but I go late. I do not recommend repeating this daily routine, as it is exhausting. But by virtue of employment I have no other choice. At the weekend, when there are no planned activities, in the morning I still wake the children. But I'm not confused.

Upon awakening I advise the first five minutes to lie in bed. This helps to tune in to the day, and the work will not run away in five minutes. Also, get the right help such charge morning ritualWe as a family are drinking apple juice made from fruits that grow in our garden.

How to pass the time in traffic jams?

I listen to Business FM and "Echo of Moscow". More often I talk on the phone, because I constantly call! When you get stuck in traffic, returning home at night, I turn on the radio "Hermitage".

What's your hobby?

Animals - wild and domestic - is not only my job, but also a hobby. I live outside the city, to my feeders fly 12 bird species. And once to him from nowhere came two horses. We tried to find the owner, but did not find, and as a result the animals have remained with us. Now the older horse running in the center of hippotherapy, and the youngest to achieve success in sports races. And, of course, at home I have cats, Which like to do the whole family.

I like to travel. I am inspired by travel. In every country I visit the zoo and museums. I dream of a world tour!

I love taking photos. A few years ago even I received specialized education in the Photofaculty.

What place sport occupies in your life?

We fall in love with the whole family yachting, but it happens in the summer or in warm countries on holiday.

Since we have settled two horses, I was very fond of horse riding. Also we are living almost in the forest, so a lot of walk. We have a trampoline outside, on weekends, in good weather, we love to jump on it as a family, together with seals. :)

Layfhakerstvo from Anna Kondratieva

books

• «experience economy"Joseph B. Pine and James H. Gilmour. Ever since I came across this book, all the recommendations I start it with her. She has written more than a decade ago, but extremely relevant. It is interesting to observe its visionary character.
• «caretaker"And"S.N.U.F.F"Victor Pelevin. Pelevin, in my opinion, one of the most powerful generation of authors. He develops Bulgakov tradition in the new literary-historical conditions. Victor raises urgent social issues today, and his books capture and hold from start to finish!
• books Slavoj Zizek. Zizek - the most famous now living philosopher-postmodernist. He manages to introduce ourselves as a sage and showman. He picks up a lot of topics for reflection, using the most detailed and clear examples and rather ironic. It is interesting that he is in no hurry to give a forecast for the future, because he believes that the future does not exist, there is only postnastoyaschee. His books give the opportunity to experience a new, modern vision of philosophy.
