Before Breakthrough I studied literature, watched webinars, nothing special, just absorbed theory, there was no practice at all. As they say: “Everything comes in its own time.” I had long dreamed of changing something in my life, and a month before Breakthrough I quit my salaried job. And with a clean slate I began my path of transformation and of building in new, vitally important habits.

First week: for me it was very hard, it was getting to know new people (I’m a reserved person in life, never really liked to socialize, a gray mouse), I got a partner (whom I really didn’t want to let down), and a team also formed (I never knew what it was like to work in a team, for me this is a new quality). An exciting transformational journey into developing communication, everyday interaction, helping my team, involvement. It was as if I had activated myself, switched on to life.

Second week: started on Saturday and Sunday instead of Monday, new GrafChallenges, no rest at all, that’s what I liked most. I was positive, playing, excited, setting 1000 goals - it was something else to write out all my wants, squeeze out of myself everything I want, it was hard, I still haven’t finished writing it. There are lots of millionaires, but as it turned out not all of them are ready to share their success publicly with you and your team. Every GrafChallenge, really all the assignments, was a huge challenge for my inner self.

Third week: Every week it got more interesting to go through, I waited impatiently to see what Igor Graf had prepared for you this time, what challenge this time. The song is the masterpiece of the whole project. So many questions, and words like “HoW do we do this???”. It turned out all you need is to not sleep for a night (my insight: when you have a goal and a deadline for it, it doesn’t matter what time it is, you instantly switch into the process, full of strength and energy, and it doesn’t run out, you do everything with positivity and drive). That’s how my team and I created a song in one night. Finances are a whole separate topic (6 wallets, investing), I learned to manage my money and keep track of my expenses and income. The charity challenge was mega, I heard so many refusals and so many “no’s,” so much crap poured on me from friends and acquaintances, I didn’t expect that, it was very painful to hear such words from a person close to me.

Fourth week: The end of the month, all the excitement and drive were running out, every day I wanted to drop everything and tell everyone to f*** off... This week was hell for me, I slacked off, there were no deadlines, my focus kept getting lost somewhere, and the assignments were the most painful ones, and in the end the most effective for my growth as a person, as a living organism.

Wow week, at first you complete the assignments every day, it’s interesting, something new. The first two days my eyes were burning, everything got done fairly quickly and with interest. The next two days I didn’t want to do anything anymore, and I wondered why I had got myself into this game. At the end of the first week a surprise was waiting: choose a partner. From that minute I was swept up by a wave of emotions and fear about whether I would be able to communicate with a stranger or not, how it would go...
