My very first accomplishment: at the age of 14 I went and got a job on my own initiative. A year later, I was earning 700 to 1000 dollars for 4 hours of work at the Tsaritsyno Radio Market.

My godmother, Ira Ortman, has always been an example for me, because she’s always loved to work hard and wanted her achievements to be independent.

When I was 16, I met my best friend and tutor, who helped me structure my knowledge and find the right course. Thanks to him, after two months of working for Apple, I became the company’s best salesman in Russia.

My friends and I mainly take up the projects that appeal to us from the point of view of our personal development and the development of the client’s business. So, provided that we believe that it’s really worth it, we can even work for free.

When I used to do football professionally, I’d run around with a ball all day long. Then absolutely accidentally got into the Premier League and even managed to obtain the title of Candidate for Master of Sport in Football.

Everything that happens has a reason behind it and is determined by a person himself. If there’s something you really want and think about all the time, say, about a Porsche 911, sooner or later, you’ll get it. It’s just that you’ll start working towards it and doing everything possible to fulfil your dream.

Waking up in a good mood in the morning requires something really great happening in the evening, which will make me get up bright and early to start enjoying the all those exciting things I have to do.

I spent the first five years of my life with my parents in a place to the south of the Lake Ysyk-Köl, that’s why I still love the scent you get around the clear-water lakes. It gives me the feeling of freedom.

I was thinking about getting married and even gave my girlfriend a bunch of 301 roses that were delivered straight from Holland. We ordered the flowers on Monday, on Tuesday they were cut, on Thursday the plane arrived here, Thursday and Friday the florist spent working on them, and Saturday was the day when I presented those flowers. But in the end… I was turned down.

I used to be an addict of Men’s Health magazine, I’ve got all of its issues from 2002 up to 2007. I stopped reading it after I quit dancing and football.
I’m madly in love with music. I can’t live without music. If I’ve left my player at home or its battery has died, that’s it… The end of the world and a ruined mood.

We were once going to give my one friend’s girlfriend 300 helium balloons for her birthday. But when the guys who were filling them with helium found out that I live in Tsaritsyno, the said that would be enough to fly me home, so we had to settle on 150. The other 150 we gave away to women and kids in a subway carriage that was turned into a holiday carriage.
