#14 HH | Маржан Отеген - как КАЗАШКИ делают бизнес? Бизнес с нуля, пекарня, Гительман

If you'd like to participate in the podcast, follow the link: https://wa.me/77074932202 In this episode of HUSH-HUSH, we talk openly about how people enter business and why almost no one is prepared for the unknown. Why is it always about fighting and "proving" in the beginning? And what needs to happen to stop running and start simply doing your own thing? We explore the strength of mothers and why they already have everything they need to think like entrepreneurs, even if they don't think so themselves. We also explore how women today are confidently building their projects and taking strong positions in business. And Marzhan Otegen shares her story – how her journey through a bakery evolved into the idea of ​​giving women more freedom through their own businesses and money. We discuss the topic of consciousness and ego – how we get stuck in the role of "fighter" and why it's the ego that often prevents us from growing further, even when we already understand a lot. Plus, there are many real-life stories—funny, strange, and very real—where everything didn't go according to plan, but that's precisely what made the difference.
