By the way, in pre-revolutionary Russia business was often inherited by a woman from her husband. The hostess was faced with a choice - to sell it, transfer control to someone, or still do everything herself. Among those who preferred the latter option was, for example, Anna Gener. In the second half of the 19th century, she became the owner of a sugar factory after the death of her husband. The enterprise brought a good income and fully ensured a comfortable life. But this was not enough for Anna Gener: she invested all the money she earned in expanding production. She did not spare either her own savings or the capital of her second husband for the development of the business. Two hundred new workers were hired, premises and equipment purchased. For 10 years, Anna managed to increase revenue by more than 10 times, and make her factory one of the largest in Moscow.

The "Global Government" will determine whether our athletes can wear the flag or not

SERGEY MIKHEEV: “This situation, among other things, makes it clear for whom the colors of the national flag have at least some meaning, and for whom, where they live better, there is their homeland! The situation is as follows: we can take and start building some kind of our own system of sports competitions, which, in the current conditions, in my opinion, is almost impossible. It can be done, but slowly.

“Maidan authorities were able to crush society”

ROSTISLAV ISHCHENKO: “Six years of the civil war have passed, various other pleasures, I don’t remember, I personally didn’t count, but just yesterday or the day before yesterday I read that the communal apartment has risen in price by a thousand or fifteen hundred percent, some hundreds of percent of gas and something else -then. To be honest, I didn't expect that much."

Time does not stand still, and society changes with it. To make yourself known among the business elite, it is no longer enough to focus on spending a day in the office from dusk to dawn. The world of entrepreneurs requires creativity, initiative, a non-standard approach to everything and the ability to complete a hundred tasks at the same time, preferably with a Hollywood smile, from a “candidate” with a claim to success. In a situation where important negotiations take place in the small talk format at parties, casual acquaintances decide the fate of complex contracts, and a phone call instead of a message in a messenger is perceived as bad form and, in general, an encroachment on personal space, it is important to understand what is happening around and choose the right tactics and strategies. Five sociocultural trends that rule the roost are here to help you.

What emotions

Leadership positions are no longer purely male history. And it's not about erasing the boundaries between the sexes: women win in the professional "war" - attention! - not in spite of the codes embedded in their DNA, but just because of them. A man always and everywhere acts in his own style, while a woman is by nature more emotional and feels the interlocutor better. As a result, she chirps at a cocktail with clients, strictly communicates with delinquent managers, and shows a master class in professional communication in front of her boss. At the same time, with her family and beloved pets, she is the most affectionate and gentle. Moreover, “strong and independent” can change roles at least every five minutes. The sooner everyone realizes that she, too, can do this, the faster her career will go uphill.

Let's slow down

While the processes were accelerating, and people were running to trainings teaching the “principles of survival” under time pressure, the Slow Life movement suddenly appeared and gained momentum. Its theorists insist that in order to do everything and not earn emotional exhaustion, you need to slow down. We explain: analyze your goals and objectives. All that requires surgical intervention, do as you are used to, quickly. But the things from the list that allow you to relax, do it as slowly as possible. This will not affect the result in any way - you will brilliantly meet the timeline, the body will appreciate your manipulations and will definitely say thank you. In addition, the opportunity to stop and think is a great way to make sense of everything that is happening and build the only right plan of action. Performance from such "exercises" usually skyrockets.

Always in touch

Fact: millennials rule the world and dictate their own rules to it. If you want to be on top - get out of the shadows. Proposals that are important for taking off a career are no longer received in the mail - in the form of e-mails, in modern society they are "harvested" like a crop at fashion events. Feel free to answer “yes” to every invitation! and regard the cocktail as practical lesson by the ability to conduct non-committal conversations in a relaxed atmosphere. The second important point: always be in touch and actively use instant messengers. Chat is a new working field that fits perfectly into the concept of "professional communication" and at the same time provides a quick result.

Smart environment

As Mayakovsky wrote, "if the stars are lit, then someone needs it." The conclusion is simple: everything in this life should work for you, and the interior of the apartment plays an important role in this matter. It is not for nothing that it is now so fashionable to use the prefix ‘smart’ for every word. A "smart" house, in which everything is focused on comfort and optimization of the life of a girl in a big city, will perform great addition to all your leadership qualities. Don't know where to start transforming your apartment? Get a new generation air cleaner-humidifier - A802 RAIN from BORK.

Life according to Hygge

In short, the concept means a Scandinavian fairy tale about a better life- with the maximum degree of coziness and comfort. The secret of Danish happiness is in the ability to enjoy the simplest things. Did the courier arrive 5 minutes early? You have an application for a good day. Important partners suddenly made an appointment? A great opportunity to get to know key customers better and take working relationships to the next level. Got stuck in a traffic jam? There is time to fix your makeup or read an article in a magazine that has long been waiting for its finest moment. At home, the heating was turned on, the relative humidity of the air in the room dropped sharply from the optimal 40-60% to a modest 20-30%, and your skin responded with peeling? Turn on your BORK A802 RAIN humidifier and enjoy an optimal indoor climate (and your dexterity along the way).

Both a woman and a man want to live their lives usefully, without wasting time. And this is right, you need to live your life in such a way as not to regret the minutes you have lived, people choose their place in life themselves, and the whole future fate will depend on what lifestyle they choose.
There can be three ways for a woman to be a business woman, build a successful career, earn huge money and not need anything, only there will not be enough time for a family. It is possible to have a regular job, earn a stable salary and have an eight-hour working day, which will allow her to pay attention not only to work, but also to her husband and child. And some prefer to stay at home, give their attention and care to children, perform homework and look after pets. Which way to choose is up to no one except the woman, because this is her life, and it is up to her to decide what is better to do.
Most ladies choose housekeeping rather than a stable job in an organization. This has its positive and negative aspects, we will consider them further.
To begin with, let's discuss the positive aspects of being a household only, a woman does not worry about work, she feels free at home. She constantly maintains home comfort, takes care of her husband and children, and solves domestic problems.
She herself is free like a bird, because a housewife takes care of household chores, she can afford to read her favorite book at any convenient time, or go shopping, visit a beauty salon, do what she loves, and other activities.
But how much time does a housewife have to do what she loves? Many women believe that sitting at home you can do everything and devote the bulk of the day to your favorite activities, but how is the situation really? Maybe housewives are not so simple? Let's discuss the negative aspects of housekeeping for women who stay at home without a job in any enterprise.
As practice has shown us, a woman-housewife has so many things to do that there is almost no time left for her favorite activities. She does something all day, does laundry, irons washed things, cleans the house, takes the child to kindergarten, and then picks him up. And this is just a small list of things that a woman does in a whole day.
At her favorite job, a woman feels free, she is always in the center of events, she is smart, constantly evolving, and striving for her goal. The life of a business woman is much richer and more interesting than that of ladies sitting at home. Therefore, if you are a housewife, then think about it, maybe you can build a successful business or prove yourself in a prestigious job.

Elena Baturina is not losing ground: for the sixth year in a row, a businesswoman has become the richest woman in Russia. According to Forbes magazine, her fortune is estimated at $ 1.2 billion. Now the wife of the former mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov, is developing hotel business in Russia and Europe. In addition, she invests in real estate and alternative energy.

The second place in the ranking of the richest women in the country was taken by Tatyana Bakalchuk. The fortune of the CEO of the Wildberries online store exceeds $600 million. Now it is the largest online clothing and footwear store in Russia. The site also sells electronics, household goods, and jewelry. Last year, Bakalchuk managed to increase the store's revenue by 40%. On Black Friday alone, over a million orders were processed.

The third line belongs to Elena Rybolovleva. The first time she got into Forbes rating two years ago thanks to the end of a legal battle with an ex-husband. Since then, she has been constantly on this list. Her fortune is estimated at $ 600 million - all these are payments by Dmitry Rybolovlev under an amicable agreement.

The top four is closed by the chairman of the board of directors of S7, Natalia Fileva. Her fortune, like Mrs. Rybolovleva, is estimated at $ 600 million. S7 is the country's second air carrier after Aeroflot. The company carried over 14 million passengers last year.

As Forbes notes, in the "female" rating every year there are more and more ex-wives of billionaires and representatives of the political elite. There are several reasons for this trend, noted Anton Danilov-Danilyan, co-chairman of the Delovaya Rossiya organization:

“In the early and mid-90s, when, in fact, the pool of the richest citizens of Russia was formed, such purely gender relations played a certain role. Among the leadership of the country there were no women so strong administratively as to slightly tip the scales in the female direction. Therefore, both loans-for-shares auctions and other privatization processes, which led to the accumulation of significant amounts of property in the hands of private individuals, were mainly carried out among men. As for the current processes, gradually people who made huge fortunes are entering an age when it is becoming more and more difficult for them to manage these fortunes. In addition, sanctions and other external factors have a very strong impact. As a result, part of the fortunes passes to the heirs, among whom are both wives and daughters. This is also due to the need to deconcentrate property into a more distributed sphere, which includes a much larger number of relatives.”

Yuri Luzhkov reacted to the Forbes rating. He called the data on the state of his wife "complete nonsense." According to the former mayor of the capital, he does not participate in the affairs of his wife. But, judging by the way they live, she simply cannot have such income. Quote: “I have my own cockroaches in my head, she has her own business, and this suits us completely.”
