Chapter 2

If my biography were to be written about my business, and the creation of Baron Homes, I think that where I am currently would be chapter 2 of my book.

Chapter 1 is my beginning as a small unorthodox airbnb operation in Seoul, South Korea, where I saw glimpses of the larger vision. After 1 year of getting used to the business and 1 year of growing the business, I became ready.

I took a leap of faith. And for many reasons, I think it was the right choice. At first, I thought about Dubai, but the numbers were simply not that great there. The initial investment for each new unit was too high and the business simply would not have been very scalable there.

The rents are ridiculously cheap here and if I choose the right apartments with amazing interior design, I believe I will wipe the floor when it comes to competition here. It's theoretical but I believe I can profit $2000~3000 per unit. That's insane ROI right there.

Every action I'm taking now is very theoretical, highly intuitive, and somewhat imaginative. It's almost like I am floating through space. Things are just out of my reach and I am grabbing them and putting things together, and it has worked out so far. I have come halfway already. I created a legal entity so I have the same rights as Hungarians, which means that legally speaking, I will not have any problems running a business here.


But something about Budapest feels just so right to me. I feel at home and I feel like I belong here. Girls love me here. 

So I'm excited to start making some cash ASAP!

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.
