Cruising

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 and expectations from her, at the very least complete certain tasks, and stay up to a standard.

Besides all that, a lot of work and tasks has been lifted off my shoulder, and I can put more energy toward the expansion process. I'm delegating the process of work assignments and accounting, which without even noticing, became quite taxing on me.

So things are improving for me.


On a side note, I had an epiphany where it became quite clear to me how meaningless it is to party and drink alcohol all night. It is not the most effective way to get laid with a lot of beautiful girls, and very counterproductive for my growth personally and business-wise. So it's just dumb overall. 

And more importantly, it is becoming more and more clear that if I "maintain course", I will not arrive at the ambitious destination which I hope for.

So yeah, I need to work on building a new lifestyle that fits my new identity. A new identity has been forming since I started making a lot of money, and I'm starting to grow comfortably into it. I will own my ideal identity along with my ideal lifestyle.

Attention crews, maintain course and increase speed!

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.
