  • IMU 063: An Alternative to Goal Setting: Vladimir, a Ukrainian Immigrant, Shares How Setting Intentions Can Help You Attract the Success You Desire!

    Do you find yourself stuck by mental blocks that prevent you from achieving your goals?

    Do you find yourself attracting the things you DON’T want in life?

    Do you find yourself full of ideas but feeling unprepared to start taking action?

    This is Polish Peter and welcome to episode 63 of Immigrant Masters Unite.  Today, I have Vladimir Gendelman from former Soviet Union, currently Ukraine.

    While living there, Vladimir rarely had access to the basic amenities that many of us take for granted. High quality products and friendly service were few and far between, and above all, Vladimir found it intensely frustrating having so little access to different choices and options.

    After immigrating to America, Vladimir made it his mission to help provide others with the things he never had access to growing up. After a client expressed a need for high quality presentation folders, Vladimir was inspired to create Company Folders, Inc. in 2003.

    Since then, Vladimir‘s enthusiasm for quality, customer choice, and friendly customer service has made him a passionate voice in the printing and design community.

    With over 15 million folders printed for over 5,000 customers, Vladimir has acquired a wealth of knowledge related to printing, design, business communications and small business management over the past decade.

    • Why setting an intention is more important that setting a goal and how that mindset shift will help you achieve more in life.  
    • What it means to set an intention and the things to look for, focus on and what to avoid when it comes to achieving your intention.

By embracing his uniqueness, he made it his strength as a way to be more memorable to clients. He is an expert in the power of perspective, because he learned how to see his failures as opportunities for growth, which allowed him the wisdom to grow three businesses to over one million dollars in revenue.
