- Above all, I’m looking for people I can communicate with easily and naturally. Sincerity, openness, and a willingness to share personal experiences—both successes and mistakes—are important to me. I value genuine interaction, when a real connection develops between people: when you can reach out, ask for advice, get support, or simply discuss an idea. It’s not about quantity—one or two such connections are enough, as long as they’re deep and honest.

- I joined YBC primarily for personal development and the opportunity to connect with entrepreneurs who have already taken a similar path and can share their own experience. For me, it is a chance to gain practical knowledge that would otherwise cost a significant amount of money. · My second goal is to expand my network of business contacts. Almost every business needs printed materials, from signs and stickers to branded print products. So the club is also an opportunity for me to find new clients and partners. · It is also important to me to be part of a strong entrepreneurial community, meet new people, and take part in club activities.

- Looking for in YBC:
- I joined YBC at a time of crisis with clients—I was initially looking for a new contact base and potential customers. After the first business lunches and a large gathering, it became clear that other things were just as valuable to me: constructive criticism from people with the same level of responsibility, alternative perspectives on the typical challenges business owners face, and a community of like-minded people with shared goals and values.

- Looking for in YBC:
- There are often many people around who constantly focus on the negative: they say everything in Ukraine is bad, criticize politics, society, and the economy, and generally concentrate on problems. I’m drawn to a different approach. I consciously want to be among people who keep moving forward despite any circumstances, take responsibility for their lives, and focus on opportunities. Every country has its advantages and disadvantages, but regardless of that, successful, healthy, and financially fulfilled people can be found everywhere. It’s important to me to be among those who build rather than make excuses. I feel the difference especially when I visit my small hometown. It’s easy to get immersed in an atmosphere of limitations, pessimism, and a habit of focusing on difficulties. When I return to my usual environment and spend time with people who think big, I’m reminded once again that everything depends on your circle and your inner focus. For me, the club is not only a source of inspiration from a strong community, but also a very practical tool.

- Looking for in YBC:
- I joined YBC to connect with like-minded people and build a strong, systematic network. To me, networking is the “oil of the twenty-first century”: you don’t necessarily need resources; what matters is having a strong network of contacts. I want to meet as many members as possible and understand how they make money and how they think. One particular focus is being useful: helping entrepreneurs attract investment and, on the other hand, advising investors on how to choose projects safely. I don’t make this an explicit goal—I didn’t join the club to sell services, because that can easily lead to disappointment. I approach it from a place of trust, enjoyable conversation, and helping others.

- Looking for in YBC:
- What I value most is connecting with entrepreneurs, especially those who run manufacturing businesses. My schedule is planned about six months in advance. For example, my calendar is already booked through July, so I’m not always able to attend meetings regularly. At the same time, it’s very important to me to have a community where I can quickly ask for a contact or expertise when I need a particular specialist or skill set. I’m also open to team or partner visits to our manufacturing facility in Turkey, where visitors can see firsthand how a product is made and how production processes are organized.

- I joined YBC for networking and practical experience that would help strengthen marketing and sales. Historically, the company has grown through referrals and its reputation, so this is my priority today. My main goal is to build a systematic entry into the North American market, reaching not only the Ukrainian diaspora but also local clients. I am interested in effective client acquisition channels, ways to test sales, and choosing between working through local representatives and a fully remote model. I also value a regular community of like-minded people, the exchange of experience, and mutual support, which help me stay focused on strategic goals and long-term development.
