I have to learn how to produce high quality AI pictures of clients and also some kind of real life socialization component to stand on top of the marketplace. I do dating photography as one of my businesses.

You think they're doing it out of the concern for the mental health of their citizens? They have their own platforms like VK, OK.ru and Telegram. They do it to control the tech platforms their citizens use for maximum tracking and surveillance. Just like China does and how Trump made his own apps. Smart strategy but bad for their citizens. You would hope as a citizen to have access to global communications network and news. If China undid their great Chinese firewall it would probably singlehandedly bring down their regime. I believe all these closed systems will soon fall and humankind will unite under one system. Cryptocurrency and blockchains are the start of such a system.

I've been working on my business for a couple years now and I like some stuff about how I'm positioned (photographer + personal branding for single men) but there's a few things I don't like about it mainly the small ticket price per transaction and the client quality. I currently have one main client who I recolated to a new city to work with and it's been a really cool experience as he's a multimillionaire in his mid 40s so every conversation with him is a learning experience whereas when I deal with my average client it's more of a coaching experience which leaves me drained at the end of it. Alex Hormozi talks a lot about ideal so it's something I've been thinking about for a while. I also have been looking into AI agents and how to use that to improve the leverage in my business and give me more time freedom. I have a friend which I met here in Canada that now mainly lives in Madrid spain and we've been talking about business we could do together and I got the idea of an expat business to help people tired with the cold climate in Canada to have a more fun European lifestyle and relocate themselves or diversify their assets into it. I don't have too much experience in the financial industry but it is an area I've sent hundreds of hours studying over the past couple years due to my interest in crypto. My main business skillset right now is 1) online lead acquisition through ads and 2) content production. If I enhance those 2 skills with the AI agents and pivot my niche to the expat business to aim for a higher lifetime value per client, I came to the conclusion that a main moat I will have over my competitors is transparency and truth. It will ultimately come to being a people and relationship based business where truth and integrity is paramount otherwise the value proposition I would offer is nill if not negative. It's a cool way to think about it as I see a lot of people on here overthink morality, ethics and truth in your business. Ultimately what you're selling in life is your time and how you allocate it to the other humans on the planet so I think that as long as I keep my integrity high and my value high to my new customer segmentation I think it'll be a success. I will keep you guys updated on this new business venture and if you're interested in reading or watching my thoughts more in depth I have a business journal I started in the journal section of the forum a couple of weeks ago tracking my progress. I hope to inspire other new and current entrepreneurs in identifying their north star values in their own entrepreneurial ventures and how deviating from them can ruin the foundational value of our products and services.

Awesome that's a good start. A good tip is to start posting 2 reels every single day about it. Depending on your editing skills it should get you 200-1500 views per reel. You can post 2 a day and then also repost the same pieces of content on Tiktok/Youtube shorts and now you have 6 pieces of daily content daily so 42 weekly, which is probably way more than you're doing now. It's a simple content workflow I've been using for the lifestyle podcast Youtube channel I manage and it works pretty well in terms of value per time of work invested.

Which part of what he said do you think is demonstrably false?

@Hatfort The number of 3000 deaths is false data by the regime. The death toll has been confirmed up to 7000 and could be as high as 30 000. Plenty of Iranians have been seen celebrating the death of the Ayatollah and literally doing the trump dance on the streets. The CIA/Mossad helped the protests go on but they are protesting a dictatorial authoritarian regime that doesn't let ideological opponents campaign in their country. Saying that Iran has free elections is a crazy take.

No I just said it's an idea that came to me not that I am currently doing it. I'm an entrepreneur so I get ideas from situations. I'm just sharing that you should be also thinking of helping the situation over there instead of rejoicing for their downfall. It's a low consciousness way to think.

@Hatfort None of these countries have a morality police nor have killed thousands of their own protesting citizens. If you're standing up for the corrupt regime of Iran that's gonna be a high standard of argumentation.

You have a lot of ego and toxicity towards it. People were simply looking for a low tax jurisdiction and will now look elsewhere for it. I was thinking of starting an expat business so now I I will have a new wave of leads to pick from. People are just looking for safety and prosperity, I wouldn't demonize that and then take sadistic join in their unfortunate circumstances. Humanity will find peace soon enough, I believe it.

Good can always been found out of bad. I had watched this Alex Hormozi video recently and in it he breaks down customer segmentation where 90% of wealth is held by the top 1% and shoul be target as your customer base to scale easier. I have a realtor friend who I met while in Calgary who owns a few properties in Toronto but now lives in Madrid a lot of the year. We've talked previously about doing some business stuff together as he's also in self-development and was part of a few of my groups. We talked about advertising towards Toronto based expats who would like to relocate themselves or move some of their assets to europe/spain/madrid. The current conflict in the middle east makes this opportunity even more pressing as it now becomes a hotbed for conflict and rich people/assets/the market as a whole hates conflict and uncertainty. I'll be talking to a buddy of mine tonight and seeing if he's down to help with this idea and help build a platform targeted at asset listings in Europe and expat arbitrage opportunities, similar to Nomad Capitalist. Super excited about this as my previous business ventures have mostly targeted low income segmentation of the market and that has so much headaches associated to it. I'm also really into politics so having high net-worth clients creates unite opportunities for high status networking.

You mean literally go up in smoke due to property damage or the valuation will plummet due to instability in the city? I think yeah as a premiere destination it's gonna fall a few ranks for sure. It's uncertain how long the middle east conflict will last for but being able to be bombed at any time is bad for property value.

How do you plan on acquiring your initial 100 users? Do you have an outreach/marketing strategy?

That's exactly what stage orange is, it's not a utopia but it's predictable rules of engagement. Stage blue and stage red states don't play by those rules. They fund theorist organizations and have non rational religious goals instead of standardized(capitalistic) win-win rules for everyone.

What makes you not believe it like what's your epistemic process around that? You don't believe the americans/israelis could be so careless/ruthless as to bomb a school for their military objectives? This is not 100% proof but I'm sure you can research it further instead of objecting without reasoning. That's the problems when the Americans fight their war it's the innocent foreign people that pay the price not them. This is a good video that explains that the war against Iran was predicted in terms of US foreign policy under Trump for years since his close alliance with AIPAC and Saudi Arabia. Prof Jiang is legit I'm gonna have to watch a few more of his videos to try and understand what might happen going forward and what is at play for the next few years.

This is a good video where he explains the asymmetric economic warfare being played where at least 2 US radar bases were destroyed one valued at $300 million and the other at $1 billion by $30K shaheh drones. With the strait of hormuz being still closed by the IRGC it seems to be mostly economic objectives that are being pursued at the moment.
