Polina Pushkareva Instagram – How have I changed in a year? ⠀ Every single bday I am reflecting on how I have changed, grown and developed ⠀ This year I 1️⃣ became much more responsible with my money and spending habits: ⠀ – Decided to sell my very first car Porsche Boxster because I was barely using it and every single ride cost me thousands of dollars. It was a painful but necessary decision ⠀ – I built emergency funds for my business, so even if something goes wrong, my company will be able to function for several months. ⠀ – I made the decision to pay off the mortgage for my NY apartment quicker as it’s a liability that I want to get rid of ⠀ I have a lot of financial insecurities as I am coming from poverty, so this year I’ve focused on creating financial security and stability in my life ⠀ 2️⃣ Last year I had 0 international audience, all of my audience was Russian speakers. Now I have 2 millions of followers all around the world ⠀ 3️⃣ One of the hardest realizations of the year was in the relationship sphere: as a public figure I am facing a lot of hate from insecure men which messed up my perception of men in general ⠀ I am in therapy now and trying to build relationships. Let’s see where it will lead me ⠀ 4️⃣ I became much more secure as an entrepreneur and changed my whole business structure in just a year ⠀ 5️⃣ Left the Russian speaking market and built everything in the American market. I understood that all markets work in the same way ⠀ 6️⃣ Doubled my income ⠀ 7️⃣ Stopped trying to teach my family how to live a different lifestyle and accepted them for who they are ⠀ Let’s go, my 27 y.o ❤️ I am ready Paris, France
