Welcoming our 5th member.

    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 I think the small mobile units are the way to go, and then a few of them combine to make a bigger team and so on.

And I think meeting a few times a month with the team is a great way to work together. When one person falls short, another can cover for them, and it's a very powerful thing for sure.

So right now, I can envision a future where we can lead the business with 4 members up to 8 units, but we will have to see. Once I perfect the "proto team", I can just multiply that and increase the number of members and rental units.

So I can just focus on expanding to more units, and let the team run itself which is great.

I think it'll be a busy month of looking for new properties and signing contracts!

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.
