Kellogg reflection: Did I reach the goal? Did you accomplish what you planned to at B school? I didn't make heart close friends; I didn't get a job right afterwards; I learned how to make decisions analytically, I learned how to network , write emails (I had no idea before!); I learned about startup and VC world a lot. I gained an attitude of finishing projects even if it has to be done at 5am. I did complete triathlon! I didn't write celebrity blog about my time at B-school. I didn't come to compete terms of what i what to do, and how I get there. I didn't finish my career plan, and have no clear way of looking what I will do. I was not adequately prepared for the B-school experience. I didn't know about the trade-off between academics and friendship. Am I satisfied with the results? I g…

Flight 306+243*3 = 1650 Hotel 150*4=600 Food 100*4=400 Total 1650 - not bad What can I say, I am graduating in two days. all the problems will seam small afterwards. My mom is in town and I don't know what to to do with her. Because I cannot show her America I like. My dreams of integrating her are crumbling. She is on shock of these international marriages and couples. I feel guilty in front of Z, because I cannot introduce. She doesn't even ask me to introduce. I am actually scared. I am scared that my introduction will reveal to my mom my other life, and that she won't like Z. But whatever, I decide what I like what i don't like. Should I introduce? How I should handle my mom, how I can entertain her? My mom was never a problem for me. She is understanding, loving, and no problem perso…

June 5th

I am in the crossroad, and ready to cry. I just want to tell you everything that happened to me, and how I feel about it. Yesterday I pitched at NUVC challenge, where I did not win. I prepared a lot and was really nervous about it. I have two investors interested in us.

I feel bad because I feel like my years at Kellogg have been a constant series of failures. perhaps i think I don't belong to study here because I am not thorough enough. I am not detail orientated and it takes a lot of time for me to think. I thinnk I think slow. But I have basis.

I don't know how to live, I dont' know what to do. Today was the last day of classes at Kellogg.

Inspired. I just found out that Bucketfeet was sponsored by trunk club! Wow. Retail fashion start ups were just in front of me in Chicago, and I didn't realize it.

Yay. I am sure they will succeed in their own way. Yay.

Now I am un-apologetically  woman, and un-apologetically confident.

Now the obstacles: I need to pay off my debt.

I need to stay in US

As you grow your personality changes. Why it helps me? Because I can become someone I couldn't even dream of becoming. I did change dramatically once. What cost me to stop believing in it? Nothing. That's it I stopped believing. I am who i am and I am firm about it. I wont try something new How would it benefit you? I will focus on myself without detour. Truth: As I grow I become more who I already am. Truth: I will grow the most in my areas of strengths. I will be most inquisitive, most creative, most resilient, and most open to learning in my areas of strengths. Truth: A good team member deliberately volunteers his strengths to the team most of the time. I also read Oliver: he talks about bumblebees in our brains, and one strong bumblebee that exponentially moves us to the right directi…

I am a unique person just like everyone else in this world. I have extraordinary goals that require extraordinary path.

I realized that MBA was not for me. because I have different goals than most of my fellows, and these goals require need a different path. MBA road rather destructed me than enriched.

I failed my interview with McKinsey, and proved once again that I shouldn't waste my time at consulting, a work with no heart and no rock to climb.

I am thinking of selling the apartment and paying off my debt. Getting the green card in US, and going full force on start up and PhD.

My uniqueness is in:

the most resilient person I've ever met.

This quarter's summary - heck yeas, it was a nice quarter. I had my team with INjoo, I was good leader found good things about myself: 1. my job needs to be checked. I need people who wouldn't be afraid to check me. Though it is easier for me to go with those who just follow me. Not anymore. 2. I need to learn to lead people who don't think I deserve to lead them. Rasmussen and Hardik are the ones to tackle. Well whereas Rasmussen is a total idiot, H ia allright. He is just not mature yet. My goals for this quarter were - win competitions, to have time to network and find a job, ho have time with my mentors, to learn economics. Competition is still about to be won, working with INjoo helped me find people I could work for, and mentors I had couple meetings, but need to do more. One metric…
