Question: What life skills are rarely taught but extremely useful?
Nikolay: Decency! And you always need to keep your word and be responsible for it. Then you will earn an excellent reputation, you will be recommended to others and it will be easy for you to make any deals.
Question: What is the worst advice you see or hear given in your trade or area of expertise?
Nikolay: In 2011, they told me “Do not invest in Bitcoin – it is a bubble.” I still remember this advice and regret that I went by it.
Question: What has become more important to you in the last few years and what has become less important?
Nikolay: The most important to me was and is my family and my team, which has been working with me for many years.
I used to be a wild fan of cars, luxuries, etc. Now it has become unimportant.
Question: How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Or, Do you have a favorite failure of yours?
Nikolay: I lost my savings three times. Once I lost millions of dollars because of a scammer who had betrayed my trust, I let him into my family. Now he is in prison, but from this I learned a very good lesson and realized that my family and close friends are always with me and ready to support. This is more important than any money.
And moreover, I realized that if you ever made a lot of money, you can always do it again. The main thing is not to give up.
And now I admire not those businessmen who are above all others, but who previously fell down, did not give up and rose up again.
Question: What is something that everyone should do before dying?
Nikolay: Start a family and make children to continue your lineage. Put the children on their feet, give them good education and a springboard for development.
Ideally, go down in History so that you are remembered fondly many years after your death.
Question: What is your motto for life?
Nikolay: “I never lose. I either win or learn” © Nelson Mandela
