Nearly drowned

 After a long time of darkness and numb grinding, I'm finally feeling the warmth of the light at the end of a long long dark tunnel.

To be fair, it's not even that long compared to what others may have experienced... years of grind with no signs of things working out.

But I guess in my case, I had a lot of pressure riding on me as well so perhaps it's justified.

Either way, my business went bankrupt 3 times like nothing, like a bug that would have been squashed unnoticed by a pedestrian. And it was a slow and silent death, like an assassination.

What I need is more power and energy, like a strong pulsing energy.

I was lucky to pull out capital, like a bunny out of a magicians hat... but I fear this might be my last saving hand.

Big deposit from the house, investment from my dad, and finally selling the house. Now nothing is left.


I must turn things around. No one is coming to save me.

But I see a way. It is certainly doable.


Turn the business from not only profiting to a exponentially growing entity.

I can do it with my right-hand woman, Maroua.


I can do this.

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.
