     Lately, I have been having some trouble in the house.      Carolina has grown cold to me and it's been affecting my mental well-being. In terms of just working for the house, she is doing a great job. However, when it comes to being cuddly and kind as we used to be, she is like a completely different person, and it sucks. I understand that I did not exactly keep my side of the contract, such as paying her the deposit on time and etc. But her rejecting of me and being distant has affected my ability to be confident and at peace. I got very close to hooking up with some very beautiful girls (or so I thought), but then each time things would not work out in the end. I am feeling quite needy towards them. I think part of that reason has to do with the fact that I am being treated like shit by her. Anyways, I don't need affection or validation from a girl that is more of a friend. I have decided to see her as a maid. She does a great job taking care of the ...

     I have profited about $6300 this month, and to my surprise, I've only saved up $800. How I spent 5500 dollars, I will not understand. But I do feel that my life quality has improved overall. Nicer house at a great location, nice glasses, nicer clothes, and nicer women! I am selectively hitting on hotter girls and they are vibing with me so I guess my confidence has improved as well. Not to mention going to the gym and jogging! Also, I have a beautiful roommate who cooks and cleans, and does laundry for me. I am starting to take things for granted, but my life is really good right now. It's really really good compared to what it was a few months ago. But my responsibilities are growing larger as well, and if I were to make a mistake then things could get messy very fast. I guess with great power comes great responsibilities.

    Yesterday  I entered the gym again after a year. Wow. It's hard to believe that I have not been to the gym in over a year. And I was so dedicated at one point. When I hit the gym it felt so good. It felt good before going to the gym, felt amazing at the gym, and felt incredible after the gym. So just going to the gym alone made my day. I am feeling a bit sore now but that feeling which lasted all day was intoxicating. It's still lasting a little bit now. I am feeling blessed about my fast growth in business. But the fact that I get to experience another type of growth in another plane of physical fitness makes me feel golden. I am all about growth and self-improvement. I am also considering signing up for a yoga class. I figured it would be a lot more cost-effective and just better for my overall health to do yoga and stretch regularly than to go to a masseuse every week. Once you open your eyes to long-term growth, your mindset shifts and you start seeing the benefit...

All crews onboard, get to your stations, and maintain speed! The deck is fully occupied, with each member doing what they are supposed to. It is indeed quite a heavy responsibility to be responsible for the lively hood of everyone onboard, but the pressure is reduced due to lower wages. Every position comes with written instructions, and each staff is like a part of the whole machine that makes the company run. And it is not a one-way street. It takes 2 to tango, and the customer is our dance partner. I have to note that Nathalie has been going kind of off the rails. I gave her more responsibility and power, and she has been leaning towards the easy way, and doing whatever she wants. I wanted her to be a clone of mine, who thinks and can make decisions like I would. Perhaps, it's the added weight of more staff and the busier schedule, but I do have to keep a closer eye on her. She is not performing as I wanted her to. I believe the solution to that is to give more clear guidelines ...

     I believe that the key for me to reach the next level of wealth is to create a system that would allow me to automatize the expansion of my short-term rental units. This could serve as a conduit for me to expand at a rate that would indeed take me to the billionaire's level.     So to automatize my expansion process, it would mean I'd be free from gravity and I could skyrocket as fast as capital would allow me. I would be putting compound effect into play. That would allow me to take things to the next level indeed. I have been actively delegating work, and I think it's all been paying off. I feel a lot less burdened and a lot more free. To a certain extent, I need to be at peace and can't be burning out all the time. It's counterproductive.  So I really look forward to taking things to the next level.

     Technically Nate is still on a tryout, but it appears that we will be expanding our team to 5 members. And potentially he may be the best member I have hired so far! Well, everyone has got their own unique strengths, but in terms of raw character, he is definitely a very strong hire with a lot of potential to grow within the company. He is punctual, strong, and already comes with leadership skills. His attention to detail is something we'll have to see, but from his resume (awards for jet maintenance) I have high expectations. So yeah, the team is looking very strong, and now I just have to grow the number of rentals. The team can run the business, and I can stack more and more workload on top of that. In a way, we are trying to copy-paste the working team. So it's kind of like putting two small teams together. This reminds me of how Ghengis Khan revolutionized the war paradigm by splitting up his army into small and mobile units, which is still relevant to this day....

     So the house rentals are up to four units at this point. I am on the brink of getting to 10 mil KRW profit in a month but also feel overwhelmed, stressed, and excited. It just sort of happened. I just focused on putting one step in front of the other and got up to four house rental units and when the profits for the month were calculated, it was at 7.8 million KRW. Fully booked, it should be north of 10 million KRW, which has been my goal for a long time. So things are going great! Sean Lawrence just sent over $4k as well to start a new Airbnb unit. Just a matter of time until I start the new one. This time it should be easy because I just have to copy-paste the existing S2 unit, which I don't see how it could be delayed if I plan ahead. So mambo number 5, here we go!

 Gather around for dinner, my family, platoon, and my coworkers! Row, row, row this boat that will take us to the promised lands. Tough and harsh was the climate at work, but hearts melted and melded while we dined and drank together. Slowly came off the masks and saw each other's true colors. It was a night to remember, and a night we'll look fondly when our army has grown ten folds. We have a rough sea to navigate through but all will be good with family on the side!

So I think that finally, I am reaching the promised land. I was exhausted and drained, just like Columbus after a long time of voyage and things were starting to get really tough. But then, after months of traveling in the unknown seas, I have finally reached land and I think that this month will be it. It will be the month when I make 2~3 x the average salary and I can give myself the title of "extraordinary". However, this is just the beginning of a new journey, the end of the first chapter. There are still lots of lands to conquer. I've been talking to this girl, "Aurelie", and I really like talking to her although she is only 18. She can be witty and energetic, and she is an ESTP, which is pretty dang cool. She's just active all the time. I can respect that and it's definitely inspiring. So I think I want to sign up for a gym tomorrow and we'll see. It will be good to have my healthy habits in order. Then I will have health and wealth. I'm ju...
