MY PERSONAL PROFILE (as it appeared in press) Olga Kostrova was born in Kiev in 1973 to a family that huddled together in a tiny apartment with only one room. That room housed the dining room and bedroom at the same time. There were 6 people: mother, father, older sister and two grandmothers. Later Olga mentioned: “My grandmothers were heroic women. These two sisters found my mother on the threshold of their house – a house which was later destroyed in the Second World War. Fleeing from the fascist army, my mother’s natural mum threw her newborn baby in this house a few hours before she was killed. These women brought up the baby as their own child, in spite of abject poverty and famine. I thank my lucky stars that I grew up in this family with people that lavish care upon each other and gave me the opportunity to understand what is meant by goodness, wisdom and strength.” Her mother says: “Olga always did what she wanted to do. She was very insistent and achieved everything she desired. She rarely listened to anyone’s advice. She tried to get her own lessons and learn first hand. She was an unbelievably bright and charming child. She played a key role in her high school drama theatre and puppet show, and studied ballroom dance. She was also a member of the junior natural history study group. She did so many things but it didn’t prevent her from graduating high school with excellent marks. She always tried to reach beyond her capacity. And she often did.” Olga found her passion of creative activities during childhood. In 1996 Olga completed her Masters in Economics. At the age of 23, she managed the Marketing department of one of the biggest international companies in Europe. At the age of 27 she was offered the position of CEO of a new branch of an international advertising agency. She did not accept it because she had intentions to relocate to North America. By this time, she had gained knowledge and experience in serving clients with high standards of work. She applied this experience later to her first own business (www.olgrandeur.artmill.org - fashion house), which she started at the end of 2001; also a media company and stock photo agency (www.artmill.org) that market her own photo collection that she founded in 2002; and in IdeaMama Group that she founded in 2004. “I think there is only one way to succeed: do what you can do the best and just do it. Search your talents till you find your passion. Or maybe it will find you first.” >>Chapter 5. THOSE OBSESSIVE DREAMS (to be updated as journey continues...) One of a social network members has just sent to me “Olga, what is your dream?”. I am very thankful for it. It’s a great question… Olga’s dreams…what would they be? Hm… Well, if I would try to form my immaterial dreams in something material the picture could look like that. Ready? Breath in…. __________________________ Huge vocational office building with a few thousand units, Luxury Executive Offices… somewhere next to an ocean. All offices belong to IdeaMama’s clients, extraordinary people that one day I was able to assist on their way to splendid success… They’re relaxed on their chairs, talking on the phone with their clients over the world, observe unleashed ocean… and mountains that will stay there forever… no matter what mistakes we make during our “journey”… They’re reflecting catching the wind that bursts into office through open windows… They’re looking at stars… They’re smiling, but tear appears on those faces… They’re talking to stars… And stars know what those tears are about, all thoughts… dreams… and sadness of loving human’s heart… Stars know it all… And I am there... sitting on my table with high heel shoos off, drinking my martini... and someone (still unknown today) holds my hand... and I hear his heart bits...And stars are silent… ___________________________ Would you like to be a part of my dream? Come closer, stranger… lol What can I do for you? 100% truly, madly, deeply Olga
