Smooth sailing

Everything is going smoothly in the business. Well, I guess my customer support is not responding, but besides that, I feel that everyone is doing their job and customers are going in and out with no hiccups as well. The guests love our Baron homes, and they seem to be having a great time in Seoul while they stay here. It is an honor for me to enhance the experiences of travelers staying in Korea.

I used to think that I am overcharging, but having taken a closer look at the hotel industry, we are actually charging much less! And we are still providing a very high-quality service so I like to think that it is a win-win for everyone involved. No such thing as a zero-sum game in business, I see that now. It really is an honor to take part in the big clock of society, and the traveling industry, and do my part here in Seoul, South Korea.

It was a struggle to get things off the ground at first, a lot of stress and whatnot. But slowly and surely, as I started crossing things off my to-do list, my vision came to reality closer and closer to perfect. It is still a work in progress, but I think it's very close to something I can proudly call a brand, the holy grail for the vision that I set out to achieve.

Donald Trump once said that you need something that makes you excited to wake up in the morning. Well, I am proud to announce that I have found what boils my blood in the morning.

Side note, I got a call from someone that applied to my business as an advisor. He seemed too overqualified at first. However, the more we talked, the more we "got" each other. Ken is a very interesting character. He had the wisdom of an old veteran in the business world, but also sharp business insights that Lawrence possessed as well. We had a great conversation over an international phone call and he gave some great advice in the short time.

I look forward to growing my company and my brand with all these great talents. It really does boil my blood to think about the future!

Korean pitstop

     After having spent 1 month in Budapest, I have been summoned back to Seoul. It's been going strong, and it's kind of a bummer to pull a sudden break, but I set up my pieces back in Budapest well, so that things would still move forward without me physically being there. It's almost like I am constantly unlocking new tools.     It's kinda annoying that the set up process is dragging on for so long, but it's a good thing that I have the concessions to cover for the wasted time. Perhaps I should just start ahead of time. Anyway, as I have seen from my charts of exponential growth, if I stick to my simple plan of reinvesting my profits, I will become a multi millionaire. I just have to work on making the systems so the business will flow even with 20~30 units. I will have to spend a lot more time thinking about systems. But if I think about it simply, just copy pasting teams will work as well, on top of some sort of reporting system. Just as I thought in the be...

Act 3

     I feel that I have entered a new chapter of my life. My upbringing was act 1, and my introduction into business was act 2, then my transformation into a SAAS entrepreneur is the beginning of my act 3. Act 1 was around 25 years, act 2 was 5 years, and now I have spent about 6 months as a SAAS entrepreneur. I feel that a lot more time has passed than it actually has, but yeah it's quite a lot of work. The difference with the airbnb business is that, with airbnb it's limited by things such as physical space and time, for the SAAS business, there's no such limitation. I can put into it as much time and effort as I desire. In the airbnb business, the business is determined by how many rooms I have and how much time has passed. How much work I put into it did not change the revenue. Whereas in this business, if I put in 100 hrs instead of 10 hrs into an app, I would see the difference in revenue. And I believe I met my technical co founder so I'm excited about that. It...

Where I'm at

So I am in the process of developing a successful SAAS and App. My app currently has 43 subscribers, and it's growing everyday. I think that if I can reach the total addressable market with it, it's going to be pretty significant. On the other hand, I've recently put together a team of pretty smart people to begin a start up. And I half convinced my friend Ayob to join so we're already good to go! If we're going to create a great start up, we're going to need all the best talent we can find. So anyway that's where I'm at. Growing my app, and posing to pounce for a start up. I will make it work out.
