The 8-figure entrepreneur that chose wolves over wealth

What a millionaire with 8 wolves taught me in Bali

Here in Bali I am a part of a brotherhood that decided, today we’re going to dress in all black, go pet some wolves, and take some cool pictures.

cool

Not at a zoo, but at this cool eco-city built around nature some Russian billionaire is building in the jungle of Bali.

But the wolves weren't the interesting part.

The guy who owns them was.

This guy had multiple restaurants in New York, built and exited an 8-figure business, owns one of the biggest clubs in Bali, had supercars, is friends with celebrities… The whole thing.

And he gave it all up to live on a farm and take care of wolves.

Not a bad retirement plan if you ask me.

We had a lengthy conversation about everything he has done and some business advice as we were all business owners, and here’s a small nugget he shared:

"Dreams do come true if you work hard for them. But most people don't even know what they want. They're just constantly distracted, swayed from left to right."

But this applies to business owners and the way the build their business as well.

We all think success means more revenue, more team, more complexity.

But this guy? He was successful because he built systems that could run without him. Then he chose what actually mattered to him.

Success could definitely mean more money, more people and a bigger more stressful operation…

Or it could mean a business that runs on systems, with a good team on your side, so you don’t have to work at all and can spend your time on a Bali farm taking care of your 8 wolves.

Because sometimes the fastest way to success is wanting less.

Your business should give you options, not obligations.

If you can't disappear for two weeks without everything falling apart, you need to ask yourself if the business you’re building is worth building in the first place.

The goal isn't to accumulate more.

It's to build something that gives you the freedom to choose and work less.

Of course if you’re anything like me it’s impossible for your mind to truly shut down and working is all you want to do, however it’s important to know that freedom doesn’t mean you don’t have to work, it means you have the option to.

You have the freedom of choice & movement.

To walk away when you want to. To feed wolves in Bali if that's what makes you happy.

But that only happens when your business runs when you’re not around, which is only possible with systems.

If you want to build a business that runs on systems instead of people, and gives you the freedom to choose what matters, reply "Systemiz" and I'll show you how we can help you implement Notion, AI & Automation into your business to systemize your operations and free up your time (so you can go feed some wolves or whatever it is you do in your sparetime)

No fluff. Just systems.
