Show Notes
Tsvetta Kaleynska grew up in a post communism Bulgaria and remembers standing in long lines to get a loaf of bread with her grandma. She always craved more in her tiny town and wasn’t getting it. She decided to apply for scholarships outside of her country and with many options she decided to get as far away from Bulgaria and to the most exotic place, she called America.
Upon arriving as a 20 year old into a huge city she was constantly lost and didn’t have a solid vision of her plan. Although the citizenship process is pretty brutal in America, she stuck it out to do everything the legal way.
In this episode she explains how she went through her struggles, what it meant to her to have her own business and the journey that she’s on.
Tsvetta’s quotes
If you don’t challenge yourself what would you become?
How can I help others achieve their dreams, it is my duty to pass it on to the next person.
I am thankful that I didn’t come here with much.
My parents were not entrepreneurs, but they instilled in me to dream big.
I’m thankful for the challenges that I’ve had, they made me who I am.
I walked the path that didn’t exist, but then it appeared in front of me and I kept following it.
Education is your best friend.
Failures are your friend, it’s all about how you handle failures.
You will probably start 10 businesses before your business is successful.
There’s nothing preventing you from being successful in this country.
America is by far the best country for entreprepreneurs.
