Picture this: In February 2022, Shiran purchased our online program, which was about to launch. We were ready to open a brand-new chapter of our work—our first-ever English-speaking online program. On February 20th, 2022, we held a live masterclass in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and that was supposed to be the official beginning of our English-language journey.
But just four days later, everything changed. Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Naturally, all our plans came to a halt. Business suddenly became the last thing on our minds. We made the difficult decision to postpone the launch of the English program indefinitely—and eventually, we paused all our English-language initiatives altogether.
At that moment, we had sold exactly one seat in the masterclass in Colombo. It was Shiran’s. We knew we had to do something. At first, we thought we might be able to relaunch the program in three to six months. Even when we moved to the UK at the end of 2022, it still didn’t mark the new beginning we had hoped for.
And yet, throughout all this time, we kept thinking about Shiran. We offered him a full refund for the MetaGame™ program he had paid for. He refused. We offered him a free personal coaching session as a way to compensate for the delay. He accepted it, but it was clear that what he truly wanted was the program itself.
A year passed. We published four books in English on Amazon. But I still hadn’t launched the program.
Finally, when we moved to Budapest in the autumn of 2024, I knew the time had come. I felt it in my bones—this was the moment to relaunch MetaGame™ in English. And we did. The very first English-language season of MetaGame™ finally launched in February 2025—three years after it was originally supposed to happen.
And do you know who was the first to join? Shiran. He had waited patiently, without losing faith, for three whole years! When we told him the group was coming together, that other people had signed up and paid for their spots, he was overjoyed.
Today, Shiran is one of the most active participants in the program. In this season, we have people from nine countries. It’s an incredible group of fascinating individuals: the most well-traveled Hungarian woman, the owner of a dance school, a professional singer, experienced coaches and psychologists… My wife Tanya and I are participating as well.
And every day, I think of Shiran. I think about what it means to stay committed—to yourself and to your future success. He didn’t ask for his money back. He waited. He believed. And now, his breakthroughs are already happening. In fact, a newspaper even wrote an article about him recently.
We deeply believe in him, and we know there’s so much more ahead for Shiran.
P.S. Today, I delivered the 9th out of 13 lessons of the program. We are already two months in. This all feels like a miracle to me!
