In this informative episode, we explore what it's like to live in the Philippines as a digital nomad and entrepreneur. I will take you through the unique culture and way of life in the Philippines, sharing my personal experience of living in the country. I will also discuss business opportunities in the Philippines and ideas to set up a business.

Areas to stay:

- BGC

- McKinley Hill

Businesses to start:

- Long-term rent with sublease agreement to set up Airbnbs at BGC

- BPO (Business process outsourcing)

- Recruitment

Going out:

- Forbestown Road in BGC (European-styled tables on the sidewalk - good for wine. Classy enough to meet quality people but not too classy to meet the show-offs (except for Dr Wine). The best place on that street is Bistro Madrid by Terry's.

- Buccaneers Rum & Kitchen in Makati - great to meet people. You can talk to anyone and people will talk to you.

- Revel at The Palace at BGC if you're into loud unrefined popular music, ordering bottles to affirm your social status, and standing around just one table. No good techno there.

The best thing about the country:

- People who smile, talk to you, and are hospitable. I love Philipino people. I really do. They are bubbly and fun to hang out with. Their English is the best in Asia. Most people I met speak better English than me and I even learn new words from them. Fo' real.

What I don't like:

- Not much access to healthy food. Not many Bali-styled smoothie bowls, healthy poke bowls, and steaks are quite pricey for the weight that you get. Too much junk food everywhere. Most that I've seen ever.

In this episode, I explore happiness in relation to progress in areas such as business, health, and relationships. I challenge common beliefs and challenge both controversial thinkers like Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate as well as philosophers like Buddha or Niche.

Using actionable steps, I reveal my findings on the different levels of happiness. I was inspired to make this video after stumbling upon a thought-provoking Nietzschean philosophy on happiness.

Additionally, I will discuss three levels of enlightenment on happiness: seeking happiness through self-development, realizing that happiness involves pain and delayed gratification, and understanding that happiness is the way, not the end goal.

And I illustrate how Buddha's concept can be applied to different areas of life.

In this episode, I offer my thoughts on the topic of the best country in the world.

According to my experience, each country excels in a particular area, and we can pick and choose the best elements from various places to become global citizens.

I will also present a world map and discuss different countries, emphasizing the valuable lessons one can learn from each place. For instance, I praise the confidence of Americans but also highlight the value of modesty in Japan.

I believe that by embracing diverse cultures, we can become more versatile individuals and make the most of the unique offerings of each country.

In this episode, we'll show you how to use AI to automatically add captions to your stories, making them more engaging and effective for promoting your service on platforms like Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and more.

In this video, I'll talk about the second step after adopting the right mindset. These are technical aspects that are key to understand and implement if you want to successfully scale your business from 10k to 100k.

The path leads from understanding the numbers and understanding them, through developing working systems, standardization of processes, accountability, KPIs tracking, tools, and controlling the whole process all the way to scaling the product. These are the elements that you need to be able to scale.

I'll talk about the process of scaling from the perspective of my business and I hope it will be helpful for you in some aspects!

In this video, I want to share with you mindsets that appear to me to be crucial while scaling your business.

The right mindset is the key to success while achieving your goals. So when your mindset changes, there is a good chance that everything on the outside will change along with it, including you yourself, your decisions, actions, and consequently, business results.

I will talk about the past mindsets that were blocking me from development. The first was not having enough pain and stress in life that I regarded as normal and the second was not seeing enough pleasure in this process. Understanding this can probably help you to motivate yourself.

I hope that this lifehack I share from my own experience will help you to achieve the goals you set for yourself and your business.

It can also help you to become aware of certain beliefs that might be stuck in your head that may be causing some problems and push you to rethink them, so the mindset that you develop will serve you and make your life better.
