Key Takeaways
1. Too many entrapreneurs, leaders, managers, doesn't see the difference between goals, wishes and dreams. And don't set goals, which should be specific, clear and written down.
2. We are all unique, we can all learn from each other, our clients, our colleagues and those we meet. Nobody was born a great productive leader or manager or public speaker or lawyer. Everything starts from zero. And you decide exactly who you are, what you want to achieve in your life.
3. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't be afraid to go forward. And don't be afraid to fail. There's no fail there are just lessons.

SPEAKERS
Pavel Verbnyak, Stuart Webb
Stuart Webb 00:43
Hi, and welcome back to it's not rocket science, five questions over coffee. It's not coffee for me this afternoon. I'm already Caffeined up. So this is just some nice warm water with a piece of lime in the bottom. But it's enough to keep me going for this afternoon. And I'm here with Pablo, vermin. Yak. Pablo is a professional speaker, consultant coach, really very impressive background. And I've allowed him to sort of tell us a little bit about his background now, and how he got into what he's doing. And hopefully we're going to have a really interesting question. So welcome to, it's not rocket science. Pawel, thank you very much, Stuart. It's very nice to see you in to meet you. And thank you for the invitation to be on your show. It's great. This, it's my pleasure. It's my pleasure, Pavel. So to tell me Pavel, what's the what's the common problem that you see people have that you're trying to help them to solve? Yes, as you mentioned before, I'm professionals, speaker, coach and trainer. So I'm specialising on soft skills. So goal setting, mindset, and habits are the main expertise. And some of my clients coming to me with different kinds of questions how to
Pavel Verbnyak 02:00
achieve much more in their professional and personal life. So I'm helping to eliminate some limiting beliefs and fears that holding them back. And most of them are subconscious. So we're fixing our mindset with fixing our limiting beliefs with with our clients. And it's very, very interesting process. Stuart, I'm sure you know, how it works, and habits and mindset. I think it says essential for our own success and goal achievement.
Stuart Webb 02:33
You know, Papa, I've been so aware of how often we have limits in our own beliefs, which stop us from achieving the potential that so many people have. So it's an important topic to solve.
Pavel Verbnyak 02:48
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
Stuart Webb 02:50
So So what are the common problems that you find that people have tried and ways that they tried to solve some of these problems without you, your with help from people like yourself?
Pavel Verbnyak 03:02
Yeah. Most of my clients, even if intrapreneurs, leaders, managers, doesn't see the difference between goals, wishes and dreams, oh, when we set goals, when we write them down, when we make it specific, clear, when we find the resources we need, and find some blockages and limitations, it's getting much more clear. And why a lot of people doesn't doesn't have goals in their own life. There are a lot of information about that. There are different answers to that question, Stuart. First of all, most of them doesn't see the value of goals, nobody taught them. And nobody teaches them how to set goals, when they were kids, when they were at universities and so on. And also the main reason that a lot of people doesn't set and achieve goals, because because of fears and limitations in as you said before, in their own beliefs in on their own subconscious mind. What kinds of fears fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of success, fear of new and fear of different kinds of fears, that helps us to to be alive and most of our fears and limitations now, not are not serving us or holding us back and when we find that these limitations are not good to us. We can change them we can put something good on our on our programmes because this is very, very important and powerful computer we have between our our years and we can we can reprogram our subconscious mind because 80% sense is psychology, you know exactly how it works. Because if you're successful in profession, if you're successful in relationships, that's because of your subconscious, and psychology, beliefs. And if you don't, that doesn't see the difference. Or if you don't like what you have, change your thoughts, change your mindset, change your programmes, change your beliefs, and you will see the difference in that in your life. And steward. That's how I started. That's how I started developing myself in this field, learning how it works, because I've got enough limiting beliefs and fears. Because you remember, in Soviet Union, it wasn't easy, it wasn't too easy to, to talk about money to talk about finances. I was born in 1987, for years before Soviet Union collapse. But in 1990s, in Russia and CIS countries, former Soviet republics, it wasn't easy to build businesses, or becomes financial successful. And because of because of that, and, and it's very nice to, to know how it works. And I decided, or I decided to find the answers. What's the difference between successful people and others? How do they think how do they act, and I found that that was my transformational point, that success is predictable is not an accident steward. And we have an abundant world, it doesn't really matter, you are in India, in Russia, in South Africa, or in Brazil, you can you can become successful if you know exactly what you want. If you take 100% responsibility for your own life for your results. And when you develop yourself constant and never ending professional and personal development, I believe is the key to success, long term success. Here,
Stuart Webb 07:09
probably I love some of what you're saying. And I'm just gonna just gonna circle back on a couple of things. I mean, you identified brilliantly there that some of the limiting beliefs that hold people back are in the fear of success, which I think is a wonderful way of putting it. And I think it's a great thing that you've said, and the fact that you base a lot of what you've just said in the fact that you've come from not not not just a sort of an organisation that's held you back, but but a whole system, a whole country that somehow held you back and you found fruit through your own personal perseverance, the way you can strive for success, I think is is a great backstory. And I think it's really something that a lot of people can relate to, because they're held back by family, they're held back by school, you're held back by so much more than just family and school. You were held back by society.
Pavel Verbnyak 08:01
Yeah, yeah. Yes, you are. And my mother visited me here in Moscow. Now I live in Moscow, my mom stayed in my hometown. And I hear from here steal some some words, like, oh, it too expensive, doesn't buy this. I can have I can afford that right now. But I still sometimes hear that voice in my own head. And it's, it's very, very nice to realise that I can change it. It doesn't matter where were you coming from? It's very important where you go in. And when you have these beliefs, when you have these dreams and goals, that's a stepping point. That's something show you where you should go because we all unique, Stuart, you and me and billions of people all over the world are unique. Nobody was like you and me, and nobody going to be in the future like us. So it's great to find what we are good and develop these points. Because we are something we are something for on this planet. And we can do something great we can create a masterpiece from our own life. And when we develop ourselves when we read books, when we talk with nice, interesting, successful people, because I believe that everyone is a better than, than, than me in some subjects in some thing. And I can learn from them. And I can learn from us too or I can learn from my followers, I can learn from my clients. I can learn from the waitress and something like that. And when we when we see that the universe and nature and life is happening for us it's helping us to grow is helping us to realise something we can achieve something wonderful.
Stuart Webb 09:52
Your enthusiasm is infectious. infectious, I love it. I love it. We have we have your Facebook page on the scroll at the bottom of the page. There are there are many free things that I know you're trying to help people with. Can you tell us about where you can get some of that from?
Pavel Verbnyak 10:10
Yeah. Stuart Yeah, I'm posting some articles. And I'm author of several books. Most of them aren't really Russian. But in India, some of them are, I am English. And also I interview some great people as, as you are Stewart. I like interviewing called my private radio show Olympic champions coming to my show and sportsmen intrapreneurs. And this is something common. When we ask questions, we can see that it's, as I said, before, their success, sports or professional or financial success is predictable. They did something every single day for several years, 510 or 15 years. And they achieved that. And when we can, we can model them, Stuart, you know that that success leaves clues. And when we do the same when we think the same, the law of attraction, the law of cause and effect works all the time. And we I saw that in my own life, Stuart, because I was born in small town close, close to Finland, in St. Petersburg and northwestern part of Russia. And nobody was wealthy in my family, in my peer group, group. And I decided, wow, I can I can create my my own life experiment. If that book, if that author if that person suggested me to form this habit, suggest me to read Jenny 10 pages every single day, suggest me visualise or meditate or use affirmations. Broadly that works. I can do that. I can I can create my own experiment. And I did that steward. For two years, I didn't see any difference. I thought, Oh, nothing changes. But when I saw back when I, what I what I thought, Oh, I found some nice, nice things that changes in my in my, in my personal and professional life. When when we become better inside our life, outer life become becoming better step by step. It's not easy. It's not fast. It's not quick, but I felt very passionate about that you are dead, I found that it works very well.
Stuart Webb 12:32
I think I think you're I think your point about repeatable, modules, repeatable, repeatable behaviours, you know, those, those things that we do frequently actually do shapers don't they have, I'm a great believer in, in, in getting up first thing in the morning and reading a chapter of a book or something like that, where, where I've learned from that because I believe that as a, as a as a business mentor, my job is to give respect to the profession that I that I wish to be a part of and and to and to better myself so that I can better other people. So you're right, this modelling behaviour modelling the the success of others, is absolutely important so that we can actually understand how they got to where they are, and then just take on board those lessons and apply them to our lives. Because, you know, we can model behaviour and see change even though we don't recognise it in ourselves.
Pavel Verbnyak 13:28
Yeah, thank you very much for your comment, Stuart, I believe that we can create something great from from ourselves. Nobody was born, great productive leader or manager or public speaker or lawyer. Everything start from a bottom everything starts from zero. And when you decide exactly who you are, what you want to achieve in your life, and do something step by step to that. And you mentioned morning routines to work. I love that very much. And I take my morning meals. So I am in 5am club. So I wake up at 5am and I invest my first couple of hours in myself. So I I do some exercises in the park. I'm very blessed. I live in the park close to the park in Moscow. And I do some activities exercises. Even if it's dark, it's dark at five or 6am and I do something for my body. I listen audio tape, I audiobook or a podcast, or listening affirmations with my own voice. So I programmed my subconscious mind. Then I visualised my future, my goals and meditate. So I take this morning meal, meditation exercises, affirmation learning, so I do something. I do something for my body. I do something for my mind. I do something for my emotional state. And it's great. It It's Kaizen philosophy kaizen. So step by step it doesn't really, it's, it's some, some people say, Oh, I cannot find one or two hours, start from five minutes, five minutes, you can invest, you can find five minutes for yourself, when you invest five minutes in a year is going to be
Stuart Webb 15:21
powerful. I love I love. First of all, I love your I love your your acronym meal, I think that is absolutely brilliant. I should make sure we capture that and put that in the notes. And the idea that you say, yes, you're absolutely right. The journey of 1000 miles starts with the first step. Yes, nobody can find two hours until they decide they want to create some time. So I was talking to somebody very recently. And they were saying, How do I concentrate, and I said, start concentrating for five minutes, you can concentrate for five minutes. And then tomorrow, concentrate for 10. And then tomorrow, and the next day concentrate for 15. Eventually, you will concentrate for an hour, but you cannot concentrate for an hour today. You have to concentrate for five minutes and start small.
Pavel Verbnyak 16:04
Yeah, absolutely. And the same with waking up a little bit earlier. You shouldn't wake up two hours earlier tomorrow, start from five minutes earlier, to after tomorrow, 10 minutes earlier. And your your self esteem self confidence will grow up. And because of your self esteem grows, everything in your life start to be better. So your relationships will become better. Your financial situation situation will become better because of your self esteem and self confidence.
Stuart Webb 16:37
I love it. I love it. I love it. Tell me what is the and I think I know the answer to this. I want you to contact to a book which you are finding the most useful and impactful in your business at the moment.
Pavel Verbnyak 16:48
Yes. I'm very passionate about psychology of success. Your before our podcast I show you I showed you my book I'm reading again. That's one of my mentor is Jack Canfield. I'm certified trainer with him. I took his train the trainer programme back in 2014. I went to the United States. And I think they're just three people in Russia, who certified with Jack. It was it was expensive for me that time Stewart, it was around $20,000 to pay to be involved in that programme. But I decided I want to learn from the best. I want to become a trainer as well. And, and I earned that amount of money. And I applied for the programme. And it was great transformational year for me. And another mentor Stewart, I'm part you're an expert of Brian Tracy Academy here in Russia. So Brian Tracy is my another mentor and role model. I know him personally I know his family. And He's great. He's also great. So I'm in psychology of success and in the success principles. So how to form new habits, how to improve your mindset, how to be productive, how to achieve much more you're capable of and how to unlock your potential. So that's soft skills. I'm my expertise will not
Stuart Webb 18:15
brilliant? Listen, I'm sure you could teach us so much more. But there is a question that I think you wish I was asking you which I haven't asked you so far. So what is the question that I should have asked you? And please give us the answer.
Pavel Verbnyak 18:31
Or store? That's very good question us. I'm going to share with our former store that you sent me these kinds of questions. But I thought, Oh, I'm not going to think about that right now. I'm going to think when I when Stuart asked me this question, Stuart. That's very, very good question. Very deep, deep, nice question. I would say, What would you say to yourself? To Pavel 15 years old, for example? Yes. That's very nice, deep coaching question, Stuart. And if you ask me this question, I would say bottle start early enough. Start read. You should like to read because to be honest, I didn't like to read. But around when I was 18. I started to read Stuart and I love that. And I think constant and never ending improvement is a key to to long term success. You can achieve anything you want. Because there abundance of information about any question you have in your head. There are about information and answers about how to achieve your own goals. And I think I would I would say to power battle I believe in you. You're great guy. You're unique person. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Don't be afraid to go forward. And don't be afraid to fail. There's no fail or there's just lessons.
Stuart Webb 20:02
I think that would be a great thing to say to 15 year old puzzle because I know many 15 year old too, don't like to read and are afraid of failure. And we need to get them to understand that failure is not failure. Failure is an opportunity to learn. And and how does a baby learn to walk? It falls down a lot. And it never ever thinks that was a failure. I'll sit here and just wait. It thinks it just gets back up and starts trying again. So we need to get people away from the fear of failure. And reading is such a good habit pub off. So glad to hear you have started reading since you were a 15 year old boy.
Pavel Verbnyak 20:39
Yes, yes, your thank you very much. Probably I have this teacher's DNA steward. My mother is a teacher, and a lab librarian. She's retired not right now. But she loves to teach a lot of people and my grandfather as well. And probably because of that I had this passion to teach to provide some workshops and my master classes and seminars, I didn't go to be to that speaking and coaching career and business because of money. No, Stewart, I went there because I had something to share. And if you if you if you do what you love, if you do what you're passionate about, the money will follow you know that exactly how it works, because the money is the same, the right proportion of value you you provide. If you go oh, I'm going to oil business, because because there are a lot of money, no, probably you will not be happy and successful. But when you decide exactly or I want to go there I want to go because I like painting or communicate with people or travelling. You can earn money with what you love. And follow that follow that you're unique.
Stuart Webb 21:57
