Balancing a successful professional life with a happy personal life is something many strive for—but few truly achieve. When one side is neglected, the other often suffers, leading to burnout, stress, and a sense of unfulfillment—even when things may seem successful on the surface. A thriving career means little if personal relationships or health are compromised, and a peaceful home life may feel incomplete if professional goals are slipping away. This is where visionary business leaders make a difference.
They go beyond just focusing on profits and performance; they create environments where personal well-being and professional success are valued and supported. By aligning business goals with human values, they take on the responsibility of helping individuals find purpose, balance, and fulfillment—proving that it is possible to achieve lasting success without sacrificing one part of life for another.
One such leader is Pawel Jonczy, CEO & Founder of 3Lives Transformation, who is leading a powerful movement to help entrepreneurs harmonize business success with personal fulfillment. With over 30 years of corporate experience, Pawel once stood at the peak of professional achievement but felt personally unfulfilled—a realization that led him to create 3Lives, a system designed to guide entrepreneurs toward alignment in business, family, and personal life. In his role as founder, he develops and implements the 8-step 3Lives system, leads strategic growth, mentors clients, and trains new coaches. His leadership is deeply rooted in authenticity, courage, and love, cultivating a values-driven culture where holistic alignment is essential.
Since publishing his book “8 Steps to a Happy Life: The Successful Entrepreneur’s Journey” in 2024, 3Lives has experienced rapid growth and is now preparing for 10x scaling through group coaching, international expansion, and a coach certification program. Pawel Jonczy remains intentionally selective with clients to ensure deep, lasting transformation while also expanding into profitability coaching for fast-growing businesses. Under his guidance, 3Lives is achieving business success—it is redefining it, helping entrepreneurs rediscover purpose, joy, and balance in every part of their lives.
A Life-Changing Spark
A few years ago, Pawel Jonczy felt a spark—what he describes as a calling from something greater than himself. At the time, he was preparing to launch a new business aimed at improving the profitability of fast-growing companies. He had already built a successful corporate career, but it no longer aligned with the purpose he had come to embrace: helping people live their dream life, one that’s aligned with their higher values and true calling. He was at peace and ready for a new beginning—one that could bring deeper meaning and impact to others.
More than a decade earlier, however, life looked very different. Pawel Jonczy was close to losing everything he held dear—especially his family. While his business was thriving, his personal life was unraveling. He felt misunderstood, angry, and emotionally distant. Despite his achievements, he believed he was failing himself and the people he loved most.
Over time, he realized that much of his struggle came from within—driven by ego and limiting beliefs that had shaped his thinking. Through years of self-discovery and personal growth, Pawel saved his family but also rebuilt even stronger relationships with his wife and children. It was this personal transformation that inspired him to create 3Lives—a system born from over 13 years of inner work. His journey became proof that business success and a fulfilling personal life can exist side by side, and today, 3Lives helps others do just that.
A Journey Starting at 19
The leadership style at 3Lives has evolved significantly over time. With more than 30 years of management experience, Pawel’s approach has shifted from being pride-driven and problem-focused to one centered on courage, love, and embracing growth. This change has been crucial in starting the new journey with 3Lives and helped avoid common leadership pitfalls, such as failing to recognize personal opportunities. For the founder, leadership is a continuous learning process—a passion that began at age 19 during his first management studies.
This leadership style has directly shaped the culture at 3Lives, which is founded on core values that guide all aspects of life—business, family, and personal—and help prevent conflicts that arise from clashing priorities.
Core 3Lives values include:
- Integrity
- Respect
- Trust
Supporting the delivery of Higher purpose
3Lives believes that true success comes from working with people—partners, clients, and team members—who share these values. Without such alignment, the company cannot ensure meaningful transformation. Ultimately, 3Lives aims to positively impact hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs by helping them achieve business success and a fulfilling personal life through its unique system.
Mission of 3Lives
At 3Lives, the mission is to help successful entrepreneurs find balance across their three lives without sacrificing their business achievements. They challenge the common belief that business success must come at the cost of personal life—a myth that doesn’t make sense. Most people are driven by love for their family, and to truly enjoy success, they need to have meaningful relationships with those they care about. Sharing success with the ones we love brings real joy and meaning to our lives.
The idea is simple: you either have business success and a happy personal life, or you have nothing. 3Lives provides entrepreneurs with a clear system to build and grow their businesses while also enjoying a fulfilling personal life. This system speaks the language of business, because they believe that life itself is the most important business we must manage with dedication and professionalism.
3Lives Mission highlights:
- Challenges the myth that business success requires sacrificing personal life
- Helps entrepreneurs build business growth and personal fulfillment simultaneously
- Offers a clear, structured system that speaks the language of business
- Emphasizes managing life as the most important business
Creativity and Open-Mindedness
Pawel Jonczy highlights that innovation drives positive change for both clients and businesses, relying heavily on creativity, open-mindedness, and, most importantly, the willingness to embrace change. Since change often feels uncomfortable and unnatural, creating a culture that supports it is crucial. Many people prefer sticking to routines and may hesitate to try something new, which makes learning to adapt and regularly practicing change essential. Consistency plays a key role here: to build a new habit, the old one must be replaced within the cue-routine-reward cycle. With persistent effort, the new habit gradually becomes second nature.
This mindset toward change was deeply shaped during Pawel’s years at Procter & Gamble, where adapting to change was part of everyday business life. The company made embracing change a core cultural value, constantly encouraging and requiring it to stay competitive in a fast-moving market. Over time, this approach transformed change from a challenge into a natural, even enjoyable, aspect of growth—impacting not only the organization’s success but also the development of its people.
A Pause with Purpose
Pawel Jonczy started 3Lives while still working in the corporate world. However, due to restrictions from his employer related to a conflict-of-interest agreement, he had to pause the planned acceleration of his business. With a heavy heart, he decided to wait until he fully transitioned out of the corporate environment before moving forward. During this time, he wrote a book called “8 Steps to a Happy Life: The Successful Entrepreneur’s Journey” to share the 3Lives system and his personal insights with a wider audience.
Currently, 3Lives is preparing to launch an acceleration plan in the coming month. The goal is to fulfill their mission of positively impacting hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs and businesses, and through them, the communities they belong to and serve. The biggest challenge remains maintaining a high level of successful personal transformations for clients while scaling the business quickly.
Commitment to Excellence
3Lives believes that the best way to positively impact hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs is through its own growth. To ensure a high success rate in transformations, the company uses a strict selection process, accepting only clients they are confident they can help. They are committed to maintaining high-quality support throughout all the programs they offer and will not compromise on this standard.
The business model is based on hiring independent, experienced coaches who are trained and certified through the 3Lives program. However, the company understands that growth will eventually require expanding beyond this model. To support this, 3Lives plans to develop exclusive training programs to prepare new leaders who can take on key roles in the program’s future expansion.
Hidden Struggles Behind Entrepreneurial Success
3Lives tackles two important challenges growing in the global business world.
These challenges are:
- Personal unfulfillment despite business success, causing emotional and mental strain, including difficulty balancing family and self, leading to isolation and health problems
- Profitability challenges in fast-growing companies that require strategic alignment beyond routine cost-cutting
Many entrepreneurs look for ways to escape these problems because they lack a clear, proven system to help fix them.
3Lives offers a structured approach that focuses on aligning a company’s strategy with its vision and getting everyone working toward the same goals. This clarity helps businesses make the right decisions at the right time without compromising what matters most: meeting customers’ needs.
Coaching for a Wider Audience
The top priority for the coming year is to speed up personal coaching by introducing group coaching and expanding to new regions like Europe and the Middle East. The second priority is to launch business coaching to help fast-growing companies improve their profitability in a steady and lasting way. Both goals support 3Lives’ mission to positively impact hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs and businesses.
Family, Business, and Self in Harmony
Pawel Jonczy founded 3Lives out of a passion for helping people create their dream lives—lives that align with their higher purpose and values, and that are balanced peacefully across three important areas: family, business, and personal well-being.
At the age of 53, he chose to listen to a deeper calling and turn his own difficult life experiences into a program that could help others transform their lives. His mission has always been clear: to show that business success and a happy personal life can truly exist together—it’s not just a dream, but a real possibility.
Physical Activity and Reading as Daily Anchors
Every day, Pawel Jonczy faces negative emotions, which he says is a normal part of life. Despite this, he enjoys his work and feels passionate about the impact the 3Lives project is beginning to have on the world. For the next few months, he will be juggling two jobs, which is not an ideal situation. He admits that managing this would be impossible without the support of his family and his daily morning routine.
Each morning, Pawel Jonczy sets aside 60 to 90 minutes just for himself. He begins with energy healing exercises, followed by a short period of relaxation, gratitude practice, and a “letting go” exercise to start the day with a positive emotional mindset. He then finishes with some physical exercise and reading. When time permits, he takes a walk in the woods, which helps him stay motivated, focused, and clear his mind of negative thoughts.
