Alina grew up in Ukraine when anti-semitism groups were complete widespread. As a Jewish she and her mom feared for their lives. It was out of pure safety that they realized they had to move out to a better place and that’s when they immigrated to United States.
Alina had several jobs out of college, but her side gig really only started out of curiosity. She started researching and learning everything there was about real estate syndication. Alina found that not a lot of people knew about syndication so Samo Financial was born to teach people and help them through financial wealth.
Something happened to her position at her last job and that’s when her entrepreneurial journey kicked into full gear.
She drops in a lot of wisdom in this episode about immigrant entrepreneurship and I learned so much from her journey!
Quotes by Alina
Your survival skills kick in and you do no matter what it takes to survive, because you want to survive and thrive.
A lot of successful entrepreneurs are immigrants, who are maybe first generation, or even if they didnât immigrate themselves they were able to observe a lot of survival skills in their parents.
Iâve had many indirect mentors.
People have helped me escalate and grow my business.
Just like any other business, Iâve had challenges and I would not be where Iâm at today without the support of these mentors, partners, and friends.
Some roadblocks are not physical, some of them are mental and itâs a matter of talking to someone else who has gone through that experience and learning.
I started networking heavily online and offline.
By helping other people youâre essentially creating a network of people that want to stay in your network.
Why are you doing what youâre doing?
If you have your âWHYâ in front of you, that will help you go through the challenges and experiences.
The main thing is, to be a giver not a taker.
Go out of your way to help other people and youâll see that itâll come back to you.
