The Q4 strategy reset

G’day, G’day friends! Every 90 days, I take a quarterly reset. This is where I put down all my tools. (metaphorically speaking). I’ll book an Airbnb somewhere far away in nature. The purpose of the break is to step away from my usual routine. This space gives my mind time to breathe and relax. During this break, I ask myself: What worked well in the last 90 days? What do I want to achieve over the next 90 days? What mindset am I leaving behind in the next quarter? I stole this practice from...

Access my brain for coffee

G'day, G'day friends, For the last several months, I've been hosting live solopreneur masterminds. I bring together experts in a variety of different niches, sectors, and industries to help them monetize their expertise t’s abeen a boatloadof fun.: I've met so many interesting solopreneurs building cool businesses on their expertise. Photographers, strategy consultants, therapists. You name it, it's been in these masterminds. I learn just as much as I teach. So many of the challenges they...

What niche should I go into?

G'day G'day friends, Every day my inbox is bombarded with a similar question: What niche should I go into? If I got paid $5 every time I got this question, I'd be a millionaire. I'm only slightly exaggerating, but you get my point. I've recorded a YouTube video to answer this: Happy watching :) Let's Launch Together, Michael ‘business niche’ Lim. You're one Launch away from your dream life and business

wtf is strategy??

G’day, G’day friends, When I worked in my corporate job, I always heard this word: Strategy this, Strategic plan that, Strategy meetings this. Everything had the word strategy inside of it. I’d nod politely in these meetings. And I’d just repeat the latest buzzword I heard someone else say in a previous meeting. I even met people whose title had ‘Strategic Advisor’ When they described what they did, I felt even more confused. This experience made me feel like “strategy” was complete B.S...

The stupidest people I know

G’day, G’day friends, The stupidest people I know use AI to replace their thinking. That’s why these tech companies are paying $775k for writers. People use AI to 100% outsource their ability to think critically and strategically. But this is where you can win. If you can retain your taste, you’ll be more creative than everyone else. If you can retain your ability to think, you’ll beat everyone else. If you can retain your judgement, you’ll become more trusted We are in a new war to preserve...

exploit these AI niches

G'day G'day friends, Yesterday, I hosted a Live Masterclass. It was awesome. I love teaching. The last time I hosted a Masterclass was way back in March this year. I had to take some time away to focus on finishing my book Now that I’m in the final stages of my book, I’m hosting a monthly Masterclass every month until the end of the year. It feels good to be back, baby! Teaching is the best way to reinforce what you've learned. That’s why I love talking about books that I read. You don’t know...

The easy way to start

G’day, G’day friends, After a big week in Vietnam and Singapore, I’m about to head back to Bali. I can’t wait to go back. I miss my friends, community, food, and usual routine. Also the sun. Vietnam and Singapore have been quite gloomy. Anywho, here’s a video I recorded on creating a 10k p/m biz. Happy viewing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVjD1KioAoY&feature=youtu.be My flight is taking off soon. See you back in Bali! Let’s Launch Together, Michael ‘Bali boy’ Lim. You're one Launch away...

I became diplomat for 5 minutes

G’day, G’day friends, When I arrived at Hanoi airport, I did something a little naughty. Anyone who’s traveled to Vietnam knows the immigration lines can be hectic. Like, frustratingly long and unpredictable. I’ve heard of people spending hours waiting. So, I bought a fast pass. It’s a few extra dollarydoos (AUD), but you can save literally hours of your time and headspace. I could enjoy the flight knowing I wouldn’t be lining up for hours when I landed. In that 1-2 hours I save waiting, I...

Mr Holiday knows why you’re sad

G’day, G’day friends, I’m surrounded by entrepreneurs in Bali who make $10–$100k per month. This group's energy is infectious. Every time I attend a founder’s dinner, mastermind, or even just grab lunch with them, I leave feeling like my head will explode with ideas. The inspiration lasts for weeks after. But there’s a hidden downside. Despite making boatloads of life-changing money, most are miserable inside. When they hit one revenue target, they aim for another. When they grow to a large...
