And the game begins

     It has been 9 goddamn weeks since I have arrived here and started spending money. 9!!! It is an absolute understatement to say that things move slowly here. Things move in slow motion. But on the other hand, that means that if I can move faster than other people, I would have a competitive advantage. A pretty big one, considering how slowly people move. I think it's part bureaucracy part entitlement, and part giving up. I don't think people are lazy here in particular. In a way they seem quite proud. I think that maybe people have just kind of given up due to the complex bureaucracy, and they are just trying to get by. Just leave me alone in peace type shit. Anyway life is peaceful here. Things are slow and quiet. It's the most small town like big city I've ever been to. In some way that's similar to Spain. I guess it's not a terrible environment to grow in terms of compound effect. I just gotta overdose on chill pills and take it chill af. I kind of don...

Breathing straw

      After months of delay, I finally opened my first airbnb. Technically it's out there, ready to make money. Finally, back to airbnb pimp life. Since it takes 1 day for a new listing on airbnb to go live, I just need to sit tight and wait for the first booking to come through (sometime around tomorrow probably. Meanwhile, I need to get some personal things sorted out, such as grocery shopping and getting my health insurance. But after an unbelievable delay, it's looking like things are finally moving forward. Crossing the line from no income to yes income. Mother fuckers. Causing me so much unnecessary stress. Anyway, it's like they say, fast money builds ego, slow money builds character. I have indulged years partying and messing around. Now I have to step into my new identity as an entrepreneur and it will take years as well. Identity doesn't shift overnight. Although, to be fair I've been in this for years. I think one more year will do. Life is interesting as...

Decide

      I am in between 2 strategies right now, and it is quite challenging to decide on my next move. I can tell bitcoin is about to surge, but I need to keep the full amount in the bitcoin wallet to benefit from it. On the other hand, I am running out of time, running out of resources to stay in this country and pay the rent on 3 apartments. Truth is, I need to start making money to cover my expenses. - Home rent - Food - 6-1 rent - 7-1 rent These are the monthly recurring revenues, about 3300 Euros. It's actually quite deadly if I can't cover the apartment rent costs. So I will have to haul ass. And as shitty as it is, I believe it's about time to sell my btc and get to work on 7-1.

Chaos

     I feel that I might be possibly losing my grip on the situation I am currently in. Previously I was coping by indulging myself in a constant chase of cheap dopamine . However, now I gave up on such vices . I am forced to face my bare naked reality as it is. Of course it is hard, because let's face it. I am alone here. I am living on a decreasing supply (for now). I have not started realizing my purpose. I do not exactly have emotional support. It is a period where I have to pass the test of a man, like when a spartan is thrown into a mountain to survive a winter. Where I prove that I am a man worthy enough. But I do have a purpose here. It is what keeps me going even in my currently harsh situation. I am going to achieve my best version. Plus 50k Euros per month profits. Brad Pitt physique from fight club. Having a harem of beautiful girls. An epic social circle of awesome friends. Life will be so epic then. These visions keep me going. And I will not be staying in ...

CX

 This is the 110th post I am making on this blog. Wow. That's actually a lot. I could probably make a book out of this called something like "ramblings of an entrepreneur". I can see it being best seller already. Anyway how much of my time has been wasted walking in circles, straying from the direct path to success? How far would I be from where I am had I stuck to the straight path to growth? I am not complaining of my current position, because I am after all very lucky to be where I am in currently. But the thought lingers of how far ahead I would have been if I did all the right things all the time. And that is my current goal. To stay on the path and do the right things all the time. Instead of walking in circles and zigzag, I will pick a target and walk straight towards it. Direction and deadlines and do. The triple Ds to success. I need to do in the moment, direction to navigate, and a deadline to accelerate. I really learned this time that just doing is not enough....

Obstacles

     I am facing some obstacles at the moment. It appears as though some of the furniture did not arrive for 6-1. It is something hard to imagine happening in Korea. But well, it is what it is, and now I have to deal with the situation. Fine. But if I make everyday count, then it's hard to imagine a scenario where I end up finishing every work I can imagine doing for the unit, and run out of ideas to work on it. So I will continue working on it. I will make everyday count. And I am making progress everyday. It's just painstakingly slow. But it's good to stay busy. It keeps me from feeling depressed. Keeps me focused on my target. I think it's about time to pull away slightly from the business front and focus on my personal development. Work on my fitness and learning Hungarian. I think it'll be great to focus on my fitness for many reasons. Anyways, now is time for action rather than just sitting around and thinking. I was thinking this morning that I need to just M...

Clock work

     My stay in Korea has been delayed by another week or two. However, leaving Andras behind to pick up the slack was really a smart move on my part. He is making the first airbnb unit happen by himself. As for 7-1 it is yet to be started, but I still have about a month and a half of grace period. It's looking like I will need to get my residence permit pretty soon as well. I am feeling a bit under pressure regarding my capital balance. I am playing too close to chest, and although I believe I can pull this great stunt off, it will be close, and being broke in a foreign country where I don't speak the language is not a situation I want to find myself in. Regardless of the difficulty of the situation, I have all the main puzzle pieces I need to complete the big picture. I have a manager, cleaning staff, bookkeeper, and acquisition specialist. The only thing I must be weary is to make sure I can hang in there while things progress. It could get pretty lonely living there a...

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...
