Hey man nice insight to the business post. In my opinion you saved the best info for last Part 6. When I saw your photos I thought 24 or 25 y/o dude. When I saw 36, I almost shit LOL. But then realized what I just read about no drinking/smoking, working out and eating healthy. Nice job man in business and in health.

It wasn't about moving to Australia, it was about getting out of Russia. My first planned
destination was USA. I did all the paperwork, found am employer who sponsored visa,
stamped visa in the embassy and shortly after that 9/11 happened. After that my US
employer politely let me know they don't need me anymore and, since visa was H1B,
the American Dream didn't happen.
As I was looking for English speaking first world country the choice was narrowed to
Australia and Canada. UK didn't seem to have a sane immigration programme at that
time.
When I though about the choice, I was like "I've had enough snow for the rest of my
life in Russia and Sydney looked kinda cool during 2000 Olympics, so Australia it is".
Now NLP. Don't learn NLP, don't read any NLP books and especially avoid all NLP
training courses and certification. It doesn't work. It's pseudoscience. Everyone
who attempted to use hardcore NLP in phone sales, stage sales, sales video,
sale copy and in one-on-one communication has failed miserably. So, forget about
it. It doesn't exist

That's right.
BTW, I omitted the part when I came to Australia with a family in 2005 with less than
a month worth of money which I borrowed and had to pay back ASAP.
We slept on the inflatable mattress which we borrowed from the guy I met on the
forum in empty room until we picked up some furniture on the street. We were lucky
there was a local council rubbish collection week when we arrived.
After that I appreciate simple things like have a bed to sleep in
Absolute respect for you.

good stuff,
my mantras are : "less is more" and "dont fix it if it's not broken"

Now that's what I call being on point and honest. Should have been titled how to succeed in business. The best part is that you didn't forget the personal issues which to be honest affect all of us. It's not hard to find the threads where a service provider says that they are out for the week etc.

Yeah, it's a good word. I just don't use it because for me personally it hold
negative associations with compulsory army service

Another fanatic read cash. What formal education have you had?
What i would give you have those internal wikis
My formal education is B.S. in physics. This means Bachelor of Science, not bullshit
I wouldn't recommend it. Getting drunk and playing drums in a thrash-metal band was cool though.

OP just curious to how much you were making as the insight is very good, but i am wondering on what scale of business was this (XX,XXX / XXX,XXX) so i am just wondering in this case there could have been many different things done, but of course you can't get somewhere you've never been without doing something you've never done.

The blueprint probably need a sister blueprint about making a website that doesn't suck though.
It focuses mostly on off-page and what I see now more and more is people with legit offilne
businesses (not affiliates, not MFA) getting smashed is SERPs. They used to rank and they drop.
Got five people in a row last week in my email with the same thing. Legit old business that ranked
in Google for year and slowly they drop deeper and deeper off the page one. When you look at the
website, it seems to be a normal average business website, like most of their competitors have but
when you dig deeper, it usually has some serious structural, design or template issues together with
crappy content strategy.
You can't get away with a site that looks like year 2008 anymore...
