MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle
EXECUTIONPut your marketing hat on. 65 year olds who have only been overseas on 2 trips that were mostly just for drinking and laying on the beach don't know that these countries are safe. They're uncomfortable communicating with people who don't have perfect, colloquial English from their region. This...- illmasterj

MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle
EXECUTIONI disagree. Once you move there you need accounting for your company, tax filing, insurance, help with paperwork because you don't know the language or have the time, etc. there's loads of ongoing bullshit that most of us are very willing to pay money for. I think this has a lot to do with the...- illmasterj

MTF's Rebirth: Building a New Fastlane Vehicle
EXECUTIONI actually think this is a booming niche. Call it the "escape plan". Check the sentiment right now. Many people want to leave the US, UK, Australia and so on due to political, tax or immigration viewpoints that they strongly disagree with. Many of these people are tech workers or upper middle...- illmasterj

INTRODon't buy them then. Get them by giving comments and quotes to journalists and editors. If you change your frame from "I need to get backlinks" to "I want to promote my brand and website", the risk evaporates.- illmasterj

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHATThat's the job. You guide them as best you can, then let them experience the world in their own unique way. There are no guarantees in business, health, parenting, etc. We put the right inputs in to the things that we control and are exposed to all the other variables. All we can do then is...- illmasterj

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHATIf you are earning income, ideally a place with a fairer income tax code so you can get ahead faster. If you have capital, ideally somewhere that isn't increasing their tax on capital (like Aus). Of course also somewhere that you actually want to live and can be happy there. For Aussies who...- illmasterj

HOT! CHATSurely auDA revenue is going to drop substantially as a result of this. I understand the need for some checks and balances (the current system is easily restrictive enough), but this reeks of something that hasn't been thought through.- illmasterj

Random Chat, Thoughts, Posts, and/or Rants Thread
HOT! CHATOne more website sold off, one less thing on the list to think about. It's not massively impactful money but it's still nice to have a cash bonus dumped in your account. I don't have many too many people around who understand how this is possible or who don't see it as boasting. I thought this...- illmasterj

I'm justifying buying a supercar to join a supercar club. Is this a good move?
OFF-TOPICBro this is a terrible idea. You aren't a car guy, but you are justifying it as a way to join a club. The real car guys in that club will see though this immediately "Man that Sirrom doesn't know shit about cars". If you want to become a car guy, sure, maybe there's a tiny bit of logic here...- illmasterj

Theoretical vs Real Business Potential - What Can You Really Achieve?
QUESTIONI'm working through a similar time period to @MTF and one of the questions I am finding valuable is "if this business was to succeed, would I enjoy running it?" Building is fun and exciting and often done by a single individual, but once it's succeeded, that's when the complexity arises. The...- illmasterj

Business models that feel grey (gambling, lotteries, raffles)
MINDSETI'm guessing a few replies to this thread are about Adrian Portelli. Seems he's moving to Dubai now. The news stories all day he will be paying 30% tax via his company but I'm sure he'll be structured well enough to maximise his transfer pricing opportunities...- illmasterj

Your City, Your Destiny: How Your Environment Shapes Your Life Trajectory
MINDSETI guess my perspective is that it's not about MY chosen location. More explaining how finding my ideal place has worked so well for me. I know multiple families who have moved to Denmark, Sweden, etc. for me the climates are not at all ideal, and neither is the cost of living or the tax code...- illmasterj

10 Years Later: From Success to Burnout to Building Again
INTROHow's it going @Concept ? Have you found your next thing yet? Some advice I was given that has really stuck in my mind: If you really want to succeed, it's your responsibility to create a situation that you want to stay in. What would this look if this was a game that you wanted to play for...- illmasterj

Reintroducing myself almost 10 years later. Nothing achieved yet. Set a goal to reach $1k/MRR by the end of 2027 with a SaaS
INTROCouldn't agree more about this goal being too small. In business often we need to take massive action. When the goal is tiny, often this leads to a lack of real action. I have been there. Small goals keep us feeling safe, and often you will come up short, lose interest due to lack of progress...- illmasterj

Your City, Your Destiny: How Your Environment Shapes Your Life Trajectory
MINDSETSo I wholeheartedly agree with the premise of this thread, as I left Australia for greener pastures. I lived in one town for around 5 years and had some of the best years of my life there. It was then, that I realised "I want to live where everyone else goes on vacation". I've been in a...- illmasterj

Your City, Your Destiny: How Your Environment Shapes Your Life Trajectory
MINDSETYeah, I was interested in your take as I think we have similar values. "High quality" isn't Lambos to me, it's more a question of food quality, living in a walkable area with cafes and shops nearby, nature or your favorite activites nearby... I think your numbers are fairly accurate. Maybe...- illmasterj
