FROM MY WORLD

The Myth of Soulmates (and Why It Matters For Your Business)

My wife would be angry at me for saying this but I don’t believe in soulmates. 

You know, that whole idea of one perfect person magically made for you? It’s a fairytale we’ve been sold since childhood. Reality does not work that way.

Instead, what I do believe in is compatibility. And this goes beyond just romantic relationships—this is about business partners, friends, mentors... anyone you let into your life. 

Finding someone with shared values and habits is far more powerful than hunting for some mystical "other half."

Look, I was born in Ukraine, raised in Israel, moved to Canada for a better life, now I’m living in Bulgaria. 

I've seen this time and again—immigrants often end up marrying other immigrants. 

It's not just coincidence. 

We gravitate toward people who get us on a deeper level, those who see the world like we do. In fact, a lot of relationships fail because people change over time, and suddenly, their values no longer align.

Here’s where it gets sticky. As you get older, you become less flexible. 

You’ve set your ways, developed strong beliefs, and built habits that are hard to break. That’s why it’s so hard to find love (or even close relationships) later in life. 

I see guys in their 40s and 50s, divorced and stuck, flying out to Thailand or Vietnam to find a wife who will mold herself to their lifestyle. 

Is that true love? Nah. It’s compatibility—of a kind that doesn’t require the man to change, because frankly, they don't want to.

It’s the same in business. 

You want to surround yourself with people who "get it," who understand your vision, because when you’re stuck with someone pulling you in the opposite direction, that friction can kill your progress. 

I’m not saying to look for a mirror of yourself—that’s boring—but do find people whose values line up with yours. That’s how you thrive.

But here’s the punchline: Don’t wait until you’re too set in your ways. If you're still young and flexible, invest in those relationships—whether it's a life partner, a business partner, or someone you want to learn from. 

Find the people who compliment you, not necessarily the ones who complete you.

Soulmates are overrated. Compatibility? That’s the real secret.

MINDSET MAKEOVER

Your To-Do List is Lying to You

Let’s get one thing straight—productivity isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters. 

If your idea of a productive day is just crossing a bunch of things off a to-do list, then you're chasing busy, not results.

So, how do you flip that switch? Let me break down a few mindset shifts that have worked for me and top performers alike:

1. Own the First Hour of Your Day

If the first thing you do in the morning is check social media or email, you’re letting the world set your priorities. Successful people? They guard that first hour like it’s gold. No phone, no distractions—just time for you. 

Whether it’s planning, reading, or working on something important, give that first hour to yourself. It’s a game-changer.

2. Beware of Emotional Baggage

Ever had a fight with your partner in the morning, and the rest of your day was a disaster? 

Emotional baggage drains your energy and kills your focus. It’s one of the sneakiest productivity killers out there. If you’re feeling stuck, ask yourself: What am I carrying right now? Identify it, handle it, and move on.

3. Align Your Goals with Your Focus

When your goal is clear, your productivity skyrockets. Why? Because you’ll automatically cut out all the noise. 

Whether it’s growing your business, hitting a fitness milestone, or enrolling your kid in school before the deadline—you’ll find a laser focus once the goal is urgent and meaningful.

4. Sequence Your Tasks for Maximum Impact

Here’s a weird hack that changed my life: I can’t do creative work and calls in the same part of the day. Writing, strategizing—those things drain me if I try them after phone calls or meetings. 

So, I schedule all my writing and thinking tasks in the morning, and any calls or Zooms get pushed to the afternoon. Once I separated these tasks, my productivity doubled. Simple tweak, massive results.

5. Redefine How You Measure Success

This one’s huge. Productivity isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what moves the needle. 

For me, I measure my productivity based on income generated while keeping my freedom intact. You’ve probably seen it yourself: some people work fewer hours but get way better results. That’s because they’re focused on high-leverage activities. Do less, but do it smarter.

So, here’s the takeaway: Stop trying to cram your day with “stuff.” Instead, focus on outcome-based actions—the ones that actually get you closer to your goals. Because at the end of the day, you don’t want to be remembered for how busy you were, but for what you achieved.

CURATED READS

Why Wait to Be Rich?

You’ve probably heard the advice: "Work hard, save, and retire rich." But let’s be real for a second—who wants to wait until they’re old and gray to actually enjoy their wealth?

That’s where The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco comes in and flips the script on everything we've been taught. This book isn’t about slow, grind-it-out financial strategies. It’s about getting onto the fast track—where time and money start working for you instead of the other way around.

DeMarco argues that the true path to wealth isn't through saving every penny or playing it safe. It’s through creating value, building scalable systems, and leveraging the power of business. And the best part? He breaks it all down with zero fluff and maximum impact.

This isn’t your typical self-help book full of “just think positive” vibes. It’s a step-by-step how-to on designing your life for financial freedom without wasting decades.

If you’re ready to escape the slow lane and live a life of financial independence now, this is the roadmap you need.
