Let ’ s begin with where I came from . Growing up in a not-wealthy family , in the grey postcommunist reality of Poland in the early 90s and having no money in my pocket , it all started with motivation . When you are born in Poland and you fly to New York , Shanghai or New Delhi , you always hear this question ; “ Hey , where are you from ?” You answer : “ I ’ m from Poland .” And the reply from almost everyone is : “ From Holland ”? It ’ s relatively funny because I have been living in the Netherlands for a long time until recently . To our point , that was always very motivating for me to inspire others – people were not expecting someone running such a business coming from a country like Poland .
Being an entrepreneur has been my dream and my aim since high school , although there was a time when I was having a difficult time deciding between this career path and becoming a professional tennis player – ultimately , I decided to choose the former , though tennis remained my passion for life . I wanted to prove that there are no limits , and everything is possible . And then comes determination . Ever since I started as an entrepreneur , I have had a drive to achieve more and more . I was just hungry for success , for growth , for life . This hunger originated from exactly this kind of motivation I described here – I wanted to show people , to prove to them that no matter where you are from , no matter where you start from , you can achieve great success with enough motivation and personal growth . This is why I became an entrepreneur and throughout the over 20 years of my experience , I worked on setting up many companies in several industries . Before starting G2A . COM , I was managing a company from the steel industry , working as a insurance consultant or teaching how to play tennis . I was always looking for like-minded people , sharing the same values , to team up around the goal to achieve . You can start with no capital , in a post-communist country , in any industry – you can succeed . The awareness of new things to achieve to show people there are no limits keeps pushing me and my team every day . x
