cause a rug addiction đ
Gâday Gâday friends, I have recently finished reading Hotel K by Kathryn Bonella. Become a RUG dealer This book it details the underworld 3rug scene in Bali. A lot of people think that Bali is all about yoga retreats, spirituality, and gyms. Or they think it's all an Eat, Pray, Love vibe. But there is an unspoken but very well-known dark side of the rug scene in Bali. There have been high-profile cases like the Bali 9 and Schapelle Corby. They were caught trying to smuggle rugs into...
the secret to high ticket clients âď¸
Gâday Gâday friends, I recently resigned a high-ticket client. Iâve been working with them for over five years now. Obviously, the introduction of AI has changed the nature of our work. Iâve had to develop an entirely new skillset and mindset. Iâve had to move away from doing the doing. Now, Iâve had to become the thinker behind the doing. Similar to how a Football Manager manages his football team. But instead, I manage a team of AI Agents and custom GPTs. Iâve gone from being the...
the solopreneur dip đŚ
Gâday Gâday friends, Can you believe January is already come and gone? February is a dangerous month. This is when 80% of people give up their goals. You heard that right. 31 days is the most people give to their goals. Once they feel they have stopped making progress, they quit. This is the solopreneur dip. The part no one posts about on LinkedIn. The excitement is gone. The metrics arenât moving fast enough. The identity shift feels uncomfortable. But February isnât the problem. A lack of...
Want to join a band? đĽ
Gâday Gâday friends, I went to a live band show last week. They were a local Balinese group playing their latest album. As I was listening to them play music, I realized that: Solopreneurship is very much similar to being a person in a band. In a band, you all have your individual skills. There is: A singer. A guitarist. A drummer. Everyoneâs got a role and responsibility. But the magic is when you play together. Thatâs exactly the same as solopreneurship. The myth of having a one-person biz...
i wantz to make munniez đŤ°
Gâday friends, Itâs been a massive week. Iâm deep into editing my 90,000 word book. I spent 2 hours per day writing. I hosted a 2-hour workshop yesterday. And Iâve got an amazing opportunity that Iâm negotiating at the moment. I canât speak about it publicly yet, but man, itâs awesome. Iâll be able to share it with you all soon. You could say I'm teeny-bit tired. But I got a question the other day: How can I get to 10k per month? So, I recorded a YouTube video about it. Happy watching! Let...

LAST CALL: 24 hours left đ
Gâday Gâday friends, Somewhere in Southeast Asia, thereâs a vendor shouting. An older Asian man stands with top half-way rolled up in his body. A potbelly sticking out, cigarette in his mouth, shouting: âLAST CALLâ A small crowd of eager durian lovers swarm: Musang King D24 Black Thorn XO Everyone points. Everyone rushes. Everyone wants one more before the tarp comes down. And yet, Thereâs always someone who arrives five minutes too late. They hover. They ask nicely. They say things like:...
this workshop could change your life đ
G'day G'day Friends, Every week, I gather a group of solopreneurs in community. These are all people who are: Highly skilled. Years of corporate experience. Documented results, experiences, and network. Now, they are all building their one-person business. During our calls, we gameplan to solve our business problems. One of the recurring problem is sales, marketing, and offers. Thatâs the thing with ex-corporate solopreneurs: They donât struggle with the technical aspect of their job. Theyâre...
stop trying to be đ
Gâday Friends, I often get asked: Whatâs a good business idea? My response: One thatâs boring and profitable. People look at me like an alien. They expect me to say: AI Crypto Blockchain Or some other sexy industry. But while sexy sounds cool, itâs unproven. The more cool something sounds, the less there is a viable business model for it. Uber is cool. But it spent 14+ years not making profit. It burned through VC money to make the model viable. Even now, itâs still shaky. Could you go 10...
learn the language of solopreneurship đŁď¸
Gâday Gâday friends, For the last 6 months, Iâve been learning to speak Indonesian. I have weekly lessons with a tutor. Do my daily Duo Lingo. Why? Iâm based in Bali, Indonesia. My mum and grandma can speak Malay (which is similar to Indonesian). My first language was actually Indonesian when I was briefly raised in Singapore. Learning Indonesian felt like reconnecting with my roots and culture. Itâs been fun seeing my progress and being able to speak to more locals and putting more complex...
