A desire to overcome deep shyness and insecurity led to Yakov discovering personal development in his late teens. Yet despite reading hundreds of books and investing tens of thousands of dollars into self-help by the time he was 25, Yakov still secretly hated himself. Even though he was successful in a lot of people’s eyes, Yakov still felt deeply insecure and like he was a failure.

It was only after a turbulent break-up that Yakov confronted his deepest fears and experienced what some would call a “dark night of the soul.” From there, Yakov started to discover a set of spiritual tools he could use to find more freedom and inner peace. At that point and through ongoing experimentation, Yakov noticed several seismic shifts.

His income increased exponentially even as he was spending less time working. His relationships improved and more amazing people started coming into his life and business. And that deep insecurity and secret self-hatred Yakov was used to carrying around, it became replaced by deep confidence and self-acceptance.

Today Yakov is dedicated to giving other entrepreneurs and high-achievers an aligned path to more wealth, freedom and impact. He’s shifting the conversation around what it means to be abundant and successful. It’s his part in elevating collective consciousness and allowing more people to tap into their “Spiritual Genius.”
