G’day G’day mates,

A short one from me today.

I’m spending the week speaking at the largest Business Conference in the world.

It’s the World Chambers Congress run by the International Chambers of Commerce.

This event happens only every 2 years.

I’m surrounded by incredible entrepreneurs and business owners from around the world.

I’m in rooms that I shouldn’t be in.

This experience reminded me of a lesson I learned in Bali 12 months ago.

Back then, I thought making $20k-30k p/m from my one-person was a lot.

Until I started hanging around people making $100k p/m in Bali.

These entrepreneurs see, think, and interface with the world differently.

While we existed in the same reality, they seemed to have different software running. Like a computer running on the 2025 version of Windows while I was stuck on Windows 95.

After spending six weeks around them, my mindset shifted.

I realized I was playing small.

My offers, pricing, and vision weren’t aligned with what was possible.

Lesson?

If you want to grow as a solopreneur, surround yourself with people who are already doing what feels “impossible” to you.

Proximity raises your ceiling. Your environment dictates your outcomes.

If you’re not the dumbest one in the room, you’re in the wrong room.

Never stop. Keep building.

Let’s Launch Together,

Michael ‘proximity = growth’ Lim

P.S - Should I share some of the lessons I learned from this conference?G’day G’day mates,
