My name is Sami and I am from Finland. I am 20 years old and I live in small city near Helsinki. By the way, am I the first guy here who is from Finland? At least it looks like it, so it is my job to put Finland in the map then :groove:
I graduated couple years ago as an something unspeakable and from there I have made my livings by playing internet poker. In the beginning of this year I started to read a lot of books such as (richest man in babylon, poor dad rich dad, Fastlane etc). Now I am reading books like People Follow You, People buy you, Pitch Anything etc. I never believed I become such a book reader but people change. I realised inside of the books there is huge amount of value so it became pretty obvious choice for me to start reading books in order to learn. I was living in Spain back then but than I started my first business so I decided to move back to Finland.
My first business creates websites & videos to companies but I am going to ditch this business soon and move on another ones. I builded this one by hiring freelancers from Asia that would do the work for me and then using finnish people to translating all the materials to finnish language. I usually just hired hot finnish girls from my facebook friend list in order to get quality and trust worthy people to work for me. The finnish translators that I hired via sites such as elance sucked so be careful when hiring somebody to translate stuff for you even if they are from Finland. I am also able to hire finnish people to do different jobs for me because of my great student contacts. Good country when you want to get high price from your products/services but not ideal country when is tax day but still I have never paid taxes. Poker is tax free for finnish people and this kind of online businesses can easily be set up remotely in countries like Belize and invoice can be sent via paypal to clients (this way they never will know that the money is wired to countries like Latvia and even big companies are willing to work with you) and receive the money to offshore bank accounts that you have also opened up remotely. I would also be able to hire cheap a$$ virtual assistents that speaks at least Finnish/english languages and in some cases swedish language too. This will be handy in the future but anyways this business was just an learning experience for me and very good one.
Skills that I learned during my first business:
- How to create high converting websites/landing pages
- Creating high converting sales videos
- Branding
- How to hire cheap a$$ pros from Asia (people assessment skill + how to use elance, freelancer.com type of sites)
- Outsourcing
- Facebook marketing
- only little bit about SEO
- Direct Mail letters, Cold Calling
- negotiating, communication + leading skills
- Taxes and Offshore banking
- and some other not so high valuable skills...
So right now. I am still working on that business, I also play poker and studying. Reading books, articles and forums. Also watching videos and talking with people. Networking. I am surrounded by poker players and business people but most of them are still slowlaners. I also have a side project going on.
My side project:
I am backing poker players to play poker with my money and I take a share of their winnings.
I also provide coaching for my players. I have outsourced that too.
I am building up a forum and my goal is to make it very valuable so I can someday charge for the membership and get passive income via that. But for now it is exclusive for my players and my coaches only.
Skills that will be developed during this project:
- Leading skills, Communication skills. BOSS skills.
- People assessment skills
- How to build forums that are full of value
and again... tax free income (I hate taxes and I don´t know how to pay taxes 😀)
Future
I am planning to move to malta (because of taxes again) and because it is an european country so I don´t need to fight with visas and no need for a lot of paper work. And the country has no winter/snow 😀
I am studying different topics atm such as importing/exporting from Asia.
Non business stuff:
I pick up chicks always when possible. Not just for sex but to meet new people and to have fun.
Fitness. Building up my ideal body. "Adonis body". I want to be in good shape, looking good and feeling good like winners do.
Spiritual stuff. Fulfilment. I want to be happy and not slave of my brain. I meditate everyday to keep my head clear. I educate myself about different topics in order to grow as human being.
I listen a lot of different music, lately I have been preferring chill step type of music because it takes me into good mood always.
I want to be a millionaire before I turn 25 years old and multi millionaire before I turn 30. I spend all day long educating myself about these stuff and taking constant action so this will be just a matter of time because what we focus/think about we will become, right?
I want to have freedom in my life. I dont want to work for money. I want money to work for me. I want to be a boss. A champion. Great friend, great husband etc. I want to travel all around the world. Live in beautiful/exotic countries, houses/flats and driving sport cars, F*ck hot girls in exotic places, extreme sports such as skydiving, base jumping. Also want to learn to surf and scuba dive. I want to experience a lot of stuff. Simple, I want to succeed in life. But more than success I want to be valuable. I want to be a man of value. This is one of my principles.
I think that´s it. This fish will be reading actively this forum now on and let´s see if it makes me a business shark.
