Good to see 15 DC events this month, including a biggie in NYC.

Our annual Dynamite Circle (DC) event in Bangkok continues to be a highlight of my year-- members fly from all around the world to hang out and talk business pretty much non-stop for a week. Our members continue to grow, with over 100 7+ Figure businesses at the event this year (~ 330 members made the trip this year) while maintaining ownership, pursuing hobbies, sometimes the odd 2nd passport, and generally doing things on their own terms. My favorite part about the group is how much of a helping vibe there is in the room. Entrepreneurship is hard. Our typical conversation starter is 'what personal or business challenge are you hoping to solve this week.' And dig in from there, often for hours....

It is also enormously useful in service businesses, and it should be looked at even if you're having to napkin it at smaller scales. We highlight it with our recruiting team every time we meet.

@GaelBreton amazing!

@TropicalMBA Awesome, see you there!

For those of you in the DC, heads up registration for our favorite annual event, DCBKK, opens on Tuesday, June 17th. Be sure to check out the forum to grab your spot. For those of you who are entrepreneurs and are eager to nerd out with 100's of founders building fully remote businesses, consider applying to join us! The event is designed to be a (relatively) easy button to genuine conversations. It's a great time of year to get feedback, recharge your entrepreneurial batteries, and connect with others who are on a similar path. It's also a damn good time. Looking forward to seeing a bunch of you there.

@MatthewIwama yes you're currently registered. you must have nabbed one at last years event

@GaelBreton 8AM NYC time.

@TropicalMBA At what time though? I didn’t find the info on the post :/

@mediaking the people need it. 'Paulson power method.'

I am a successful business owner. I own a private jet and drive a Lamborghini. I work in a fancy office building with a great view. I have an awesome wife and two awesome kids. I have a dog that pees outside most of the time. Now, you can be just like me and live a luxurious and glamorous life...if you buy my online course. It costs 99 cents and is available on Amazon. Go check it out, but do it today, because supplies are limited (to how many Amazon can print) and my book won't be available for sale forever (because the universe will end at some point).

@mediaking 😍

Good morning

@TimmyMckeegan 💪

@arvidkahl product looks awesome!

Haha I love building my SaaS. Here is my product, Podscan.fm, detecting a mention of itself on a show it is monitoring and then notifying me about it. And now I get to share this amazing podcast I didn’t know about before with you. 🥰 streamlined.fm/your-next-1000…

@levelsio @Thavisin amazing!

Newly elected Thai Prime Minister @Thavisin mentioned 🌏 Nomad List today 😋: "Chiang Mai (Thailand's second biggest city) has significant potential in innovation, technology, startups and is in the top 10 of Nomad List, with more than 5,000 software developers, both Thai and international, especially digital nomads, living and doing business there. Chiang Mai will be a startup and digital nomad paradise, and a global hub for creativity." via @ThaiEnquirer

@helloitsolly @michaelgrowth @DynamiteCircle @MicroConf @robwalling thank you very kind!

@michaelgrowth I think @DynamiteCircle by @TropicalMBA or @MicroConf connect by @robwalling are worth exploring

Sometimes I wonder if building a SaaS was a mistake My productised service was a cash cow More than $100,000 a year 90% profit, working only a few days a week, and travelling the world And that's without any meaningful activity to market + scale it It was a great idea that my customers loved Now, at its worse, my life is 12 hour work days, arguing with my cofounder, sleepless nights and constant worries about money I wake up and I either have the best day of my life, or the worst day Sometimes I cry with pride over what I've built, and others I cry with frustration and anger at the person I've become and the emotional toll the business is having As well as that, I am feeling an overwhelming amount of doubt in my ability to take the business to the next level. My confidence in my own skills has never been lower I honestly don't know if I'm the right person to market Senja I don't want to give in but I don't know the path forward either #buildinpublic

This weekend we're closing down applications to DC Accelerator, a program designed to help companies grow faster. 60+ companies have already applied, our team is excited about all the talented founders joining us. We get started in June. If you're curious, book a call with us (link to info in bio).

@jjtejkl Will do appreciate it. Got a favorite concept I should look out for ?

@TropicalMBA The Greg Crabtree stuff is good, but check out some of the Alan Miltz videos too

Before we get into the numbers, I always start coaching sessions by asking about diet.

@TropicalMBA Looking at the books I'm noticing that the little green volume has arrived. Has it been moved from the waiting line to the read list?
