My life went under the usual steam and nothing foretold deviations from the standard scenario for most of people: study, work, pension — in general, nothing promising. I lived with my mother and brother, studied at school, then I entered the university on historic faculty. However, I turned out from this anticipated way.
At the elementary school I started training on skiing, later I moved to the biathlon section. Although I did not reach any significant results in sport, but that experience helped me to train my character: I learned that to get any result I need to train a lot. Constant training till the successful end became my habit. I still get up at 6 a.m. every day to do jogging in the park.
I was also lucky to have my grandfather — Mikhail Alexandrovich Desyatkov — a great teacher and a wonderful man. I learned from him that a man should has a positive attitude to life, be diligent, generous, organized. He even taught me on fishing and hunting. Whatever occurred in his life, his face was always smiling, and his hands were holding a book.
Probably, due to his influence I started to ask myself when I was 18 years old: Why do some people reach success in relations and finances, have a good physical fit and live their own full lives, but others don’t?
I came to the conclusion that there is a standard way of life for a human, but it is not the only one. Our world is diverse. Although we have different initial positions, but options of a life course are also diverse.
I felt the thirst to change myself for the better and started to search answers to my questions. And I literally "swallowed" several books every month.
I wanted to bring my life to another level. This topic fascinated me so much that I began to absorb information from all available sources, and it is now more than 15 years that I am actively studying and applying the gained knowledge. During this period, I have read hundreds of books on psychology and business, autobiographies and biographies of great personalities, attended cources and seminars all over the world, searching for answers to my questions. I had a lot of interviews and meetings with people successful in different areas, such as politicians and businessmen, scientists and sportsmen, and I tried to find out what is common between them.
It became a turning point and a real opening for me, when I understood that achievement of outstanding results, the success or long-term failure are unpredictable and nonrandom. I managed to find out that the most successful people, in the overwhelming majority, began their way without having rich and influential parents and patrons. I also got clear understanding that there is a several principles that interconnect and complement each other that are used constantly to bring the results that we wish, such as financial freedom, harmonious relations and a good health.
First two years of intense studying of the "success science" and the psychology of achievements I felt that nothing has changed: I still studied at university, engaged in sports and communicated with the same people. Now when I look back, I notice some not-so-obvious changes. It would seem that my first trip to USA for 4 months on student exchange program was sporadical, but in fact I had been preparing for this trip more than 2 years: I studied English, imagined my new life, set goals and reached them. Travel to the one of the most developed countries in the world opened new opportunities for me and broke the bonds of prejudice. Later I had trips to England and other countries that I never even dreamed to visit 10 years ago. Everything turned to help me in acquiring what I imagined.
There were a lot of difficult situations and challenges on my way, I’ve invested hundred of thousands dollars and hours in my personal and professional development and look forward to share with you some of my discoveries that may save you a lot of money and time to find your own answers and create more abundant, happy and wealthy life.
Little by little (after few years passed) I have launched a website called ?Pavel Verbnyak’s Club? (https://verbnyak.com). We have changed its conception three times until finally we came to the "Successful thinking." Now we accumulate there the basic ideas on achieving the goals, I lead the blog and post various programs on the personality development.
Many people think that famous people succeeded by chance - they just hit the jackpot. However, the luck usually comes as a result of multiple years of hard working and due to living in accordance with the laws of nature.
The three most important characteristics or habits that can guarantee you a success in the chosen field, which will discus in detail, are as follows:
1) constant development;
2) application of knowledge in practice;
3) thinking aimed at success.
The law of nature states that your life would become better only when you will start to improve yourself. What skills and habits do you need to acquire to live the way you want? At that, what is important here is not how much money you will earn, but what kind of person will you become in the process of achieving the goal. The skills, knowledge and habits - that's what will stay with you forever, while money and social status can be easily lost.
Let's meet at my personal and corporate trainings, seminars and strategic sessions.
Good luck! And if there's anything I can do for you or assist you in the future, please contact me.
With faith in you and your success,
Pavel Verbnyak
