We invite you on a journey through the ups and downs of the entrepreneurial life of Sławek Mokrzycki. Although his story begins with failures, today he is at the forefront of multi-million ventures. This interview reveals not only the background of Sławek's business path, but also his approach to finances, family and learning from his own mistakes. 𝐏𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐬𝐳𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐳𝐧𝐞𝐬 – 𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐞 𝐥𝐞𝐤𝐜𝐣𝐞 𝐢 𝐬𝐢ł𝐚 𝐰𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐲 Already as a young man, Sławek tried his hand at business. Coming from an entrepreneurial family, he took a loan from his father to open a cosmetics store. Unfortunately, changes in currency rates and lack of experience caused the venture to quickly fail. Although 30 thousand złoty was a large amount at the time, Sławek today treats it as a valuable lesson and a tribute to his father, who supported him despite financial difficulties. 𝐎𝐝 𝐟𝐢𝐳𝐣𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐢 𝐩𝐨 𝐛𝐢𝐳𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐲𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐲 Physiotherapy studies, working behind the bar, and his first professional experiences taught him determination and flexibility. The next steps brought the idea to establish a training company for physiotherapists, in which he set himself the goal of improving the quality of courses by introducing structure and taking care of the message. The success of his training company gave rise to another business – an online store with rehabilitation products, which initially operated out of his mother-in-law's closet. This small venture turned into a company currently achieving 40 million złoty in turnover per year. Over the years, Sławek created a new brand and expanded his business to foreign markets, exporting his products to the United States, among others. 𝐙𝐚𝐰𝐢ł𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐜𝐳ą𝐭𝐤𝐢 𝐰 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐢 𝐢 𝐥𝐞𝐤𝐜𝐣𝐞 𝐳 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐚ż𝐞𝐤 One of the most difficult projects turned out to be an investment in a technological company creating software for physiotherapists. Problems with timeliness and quality of delivered software almost led to the closure of the business, but Sławek did not give up. He decided to hire a trusted partner and build the company from scratch - successfully. 𝐂𝐳ł𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐞𝐤, 𝐤𝐭ó𝐫𝐲 𝐰𝐲𝐜𝐢ą𝐠𝐚 𝐰𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐤𝐢 Today, Sławek Mokrzycki is an experienced entrepreneur who develops his projects according to the principle that every failure teaches humility and increases determination. His story is a perfect example of how much can be achieved through hard work, flexibility and readiness to take on new challenges.
