The Founder
Painful lessons I’ve learned (hopefully).
Revealed.
Not that. Sales, conversions, marketing —
it’s a total disaster!
Okay, okay. Dude, I’m in deep trouble!

Or, a minutes stripped illusions.
What's it this time? 🙄
And... They’ll turn you into a battery anyway! 😂
Hi–I'm Eugene Polyansky.

I help indie founders and solopreneurs stay sane, grow their businesses, and regain the freedom to enjoy life fully.
My entire conscious (and unconscious) life has been dedicated to my brainchild EGO Creative Innovations agency.

I’ve been on both the founders’ and the experts' sides.
  • Helped other founders launch their products and harness the power of digital technologies—automation, AI, and converting UI/UX.
  • Created and grown my own digital products and services.
  • Used to own a big IT company with global offices and a sizable team.
  • And seen the struggles of both new and experienced entrepreneurs who couldn’t keep up with the fast-changing tech world, getting caught in battles with windmills.
Eventually, I burned out and decided to let it go to reclaim meaning and fullness in my life. Today, technology allows you to build and scale a successful business as a solopreneur—and still enjoy life.

Here, I share the painful mistakes I’ve made, the lessons I’ve learned from watching other founders, as well as tips and thought on entrepreneurship and life in a world filled with AI and digital technologies.

I freed myself from the burden of a corporate business, and now I’m on a mission to help others—especially non-technical entrepreneurs and solopreneurs—live fully and use technology to their advantage.
Here, in my newsletter and sandbox blog, I’m not just sharing what I’ve learned, what I know, and how I can help. I’m also enjoy the freedom of creativity. Experiment with writing styles, sometimes leaning into fiction, other times being highly practical. One moment, I’m crafting heroic tales, the next, I’m inviting my wacky inner characters—The Founder and the X-Pert—for deep reflections.

Join me on this journey of exploration. I’ll be beyond happy if my stories, reflections, and tips not only help you free and reclaim your life, but also add a bit of emotion, excitement, and color along the way.

How entrepreneurs can keep their sanity.

Or a minute of stress management

Business is tough. Insanely tough. It’s stress. It’s responsibility. It’s fear of failure. It’s endless doubt. It’s sleepless nights. It’s constant anxiety.

How to reach goals.

Or a minute of planning and staying sane

— Why am I not getting anything done? Because you’re bouncing from one thing to another. No focus. And keep forgetting what you wanted in the first place. Why? No plan. — But why plan if nothing goes according to plan?

Kill your business. Right now!

Or why the path to success is paved with bones

I confess, it pisses me off when “business gurus” make loud, absolute statements. It’s clear why they do it—to stir up the crowd. Stirring up crap is the best way to grab attention.
