We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Transit Nomad. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Transit below.
Transit , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?
Don’t be afraid to take risks when it’s necessary. The biggest risk I’ve taken was moving my businesses from Ukraine to the United States. I had no idea if it was going to work as I would have to start my marketing from scratch. Even though I had the experience and I knew what to do, it took me several months to start getting clients. In the meantime, I had to work other jobs to support myself. Once my marketing efforts started to pay off, my income went up substantially and I used that profit to start new businesses. At this time I own and operate 13 small businesses and I’m very happy I made the move. We have a saying in Ukraine: “Those who don’t take the risk don’t get to drink champagne.”


Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Hello there, transit fans and travel lovers! I’m Transit Nomad, a word traveler, business owner, music composer, filmmaker and life coach on a mission to explore cities through the lens of public transportation. From skipping classes to ride trams while growing up in a humble family in Ukraine to building several businesses in the USA and running them remotely while traveling the world, my journey has been one of dedication, resilience and appreciation. Let’s appreciate what we love and make our dreams come true!

Are there any books, videos, essays or other resources that have significantly impacted your management and entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy?
One of the keys to building a rewarding career or growing a successful business is finding someone who has already accomplished what you want to achieve and trying to learn from that person as much as possible. Coaching was a huge contributing factor that helped me grow my businesses and avoid many common mistakes. Being ambitious, enthusiastic and hard working wasn’t enough. I needed someone who could share their practical experience and give me specific tips on how to implement my ideas in a profitable way. Without coaching, I don’t think my companies would have succeeded or grown as quickly as they have.

Can you share one of your favorite marketing or sales stories?
To maximize the chances of success, in addition to balancing expenses, it’s important to build great relationships with colleagues and customers, and the best way is to become friends with them. If we demonstrate genuine interest in their life while asking them about their interests and passions, people would often open up and be happy to discuss it with someone. If we carefully listen to what they have to say and show that we care, we can find something in common and continue building the relationship from there. If we continue to keep in touch, our potential customers will always keep us in mind. It does take some time to develop a personal relationship with someone, but it’s a very effective marketing strategy that can help increase sales in the long term.
