Writing practice

 The business is a smooth sailing boat and my predictions are coming to reality. I set out to start my #2 airbnb, and made it profitable. In fact, it has been booked out almost fully until June. That's a very nice stable business in my opinion. I think there are different levels of zoom in the business. The medium level zoom, or the manager level, where I can see that the business is going well in the reasonable big picture. Here I can see the profitability in terms of month-to-month, or quarterly. And then there is high-level zoom, where I can manage things in great detail like a technician. At this level, I can tell the profitability day to day, or what I make in a month. Finally, there is the zoom-out zoom, where I can see the big picture. This is the visionary level. I can see where the company is going, and although I do not think in small details, I can make the most impactful decisions here. Soon I will start a third airbnb and I believe that this will be the inflection poin...

So I don't know if there's any correlation there, but I've been growing my business and at the same time identifying very much with the ENTJ MBTI. Almost as if I understand a big part of myself now that I see my thinking process. Let's talk about my business first. So the biggest change is that I finally took the risk and opened a new Airbnb, and made a new amazing hire. I did the things that I set out to do. My first employee is Nathalie, and I think that things are going so well with her because I understand her MBTI, which is INFJ. And not only that but I understand myself very well being an ENTJ. I can take it even further and understand our dynamic. I think this is very useful for communicating well and working efficiently together. And my 2nd location Airbnb has been popping off. At a higher price range, it's been getting booked out like hotcakes. For the 3 months, I've been booked out to the point of breaking even, so I can't even lose money from this...

 So there has been a little flaw in my apartment that I overlooked, which in hindsight was so silly. Leave a space next to the bed where you could (although extremely unlikely) potentially roll over and fall down a floor. But I suppose that it is not a height that would kill you anyways. Anyways, this coupled with me drinking while taking antibiotics and the guest not replying to my messages for some reason, resulted in me overthinking and worrying and feeling like shit the whole time. I do find relief now that I am writing down my thoughts. I am 95% sure that everything will be alright though. I just need to get through the nicotine addiction and wait for the next guest. Everything is going great! Let's go!!

I have at last made the expansion that I only talked about for 1 year. As a matter of fact, I had a moment when money fell on my lap last year in March... Little did I know that I would actually chicken out, and spend it recklessly anyways. It's weird how logically something is not scary at all, but then when there is a risk of losing big, suddenly the act becomes scary. This was the case for my expansion. Anyways a long 9 months have passed since I let the opportunity slip through my hands, and finally I came back to grasping the opportunity. This time thanks to a loan from my dad. However, I plan to pay that back within a month. My plan is to say, look I have done what I set out to do, now help me expand once again! I may need a very clear accounting sheet for that. After running 3 units, I'll be able to expand on my own. The future is looking bright!
