About the Author
Entrepreneur. Founder. Father. Author.
Igor Fostenko is the founder and CEO of Enjoy The Wood - a Ukrainian brand of wooden world maps whose products are sold in over 90 countries. But his path to success is not a fairy tale about a happy childhood and an easy start.
He grew up on the streets of a big city. He saw poverty and luxury side by side. He knows what it means to live in a basement. He battled addiction. And through it all - he never gave up. Not once.
Today, Igor is a successful entrepreneur, a loving husband and father, and a man of deep faith. He builds a business that serves Ukraine - in peacetime and during war alike.
The Journey
From streets to millions.
Childhood
Life on the streets of a big city. A basement as a home. Choosing between the streets and an orphanage.
Youth
Battling addiction. Searching for identity. Taking the first steps toward a new life.
The Start
Founding Enjoy The Wood. First sales. First mistakes — including a copyright clash with Warner Brothers.

Today

They say success can’t be found in a book, yet the book can serve as the map for those tired of wandering in circles.
In his work “The WAY from Street Kid to Millionaire: The Real Story of a Man Who Never Gives Up,” Igor brings a raw soul that never received anything from life on a silver platter.
In a journey through obstacles, negativity, and hard work, today’s businessman learned a simple truth: challenges aren’t meant to stop you; they’re shaping you.
Refusing to stay down, the owner of a premium décor label turned his failures into fuel.
Today, the Ukrainian entrepreneur isn't here to give you “tips.” He's here to guide.

Quotes from the Book
Words That Stay With You
The street taught me one thing: falling down is not the end. The end is when you decide not to get back up.
You don't need a perfect start. You need a real reason not to quit.
Family is not a distraction from business. It is the reason business has to work.
Igor Fostenko

What Readers Are Saying
Reader Reviews
I read it in one night. Couldn't stop. This book isn't about business. It's about how to stay human when everything is against you.
As an entrepreneur, I found more practical wisdom here than in dozens of business books. Honest, no fluff, completely real.
I gave this book to my son. He read it in two days and said: Dad, I understand now - complaining is a luxury. Thank you, Igor.
This is not a typical success story. It's raw, honest and deeply human. Every page made me think.
I've read hundreds of business books. This one is different. It hits you in the chest and doesn't let go.
