We're getting into one of our new niche site.

We've already invested a lot of money into it, and now the product is for sale.

And so something I'm doing this week is cold calls.

Hey, podcast, listener.

Even if you are alone in your entrepreneurial journey, know that today, right now in your earbuds,

you are joined by thousands of entrepreneurs from all around the globe seeking to grow better,

more profitable, location-independent businesses.

Yeah, buddy, happy Thursday morning.

It's a tropical MBA podcast.

Today we're talking about entrepreneurial mindset fundamentals. You can find it at tropical MBA.com slash fundamentals. And for all the super fans out there, I have to give you a warning. This is a replay episode,

one of my favorites of all time walking through eight fundamental realities of becoming an entrepreneur. I was talking to a lot

of interview candidates, people that wanted to come out and work for our team. And a lot of them

echoed this idea that they really loved our old school mindset podcast. And I thought, why don't

I put one out this week, especially since I'm in Borikai, having a little bit of a vacation. Ian's in Mexico getting lost on Playa del Carmen, doing some office hours for DCers. So we're kind of busy this week. But we wanted to get something out there. I don't know a lot of you haven't had the chance to go to the website and download all the archives. So this is a chance to get a taste of what the archives look like. And you can get the whole thing at tropical MBA.com. I think the first 200 episodes are available for download. This week, Alyssa, Kim and myself, of course, we've been working on bringing someone new onto our team. Thank you for everyone who's applied. It's been a pleasure speaking with many of you. And we still have a little bit more work to do on that. If you're interested in the 500K level mastermind that we're pulling together, we're working on that this week.

This will probably be the last episode that will have a link to the survey.

So if you want to be emailed about that, if you're an advanced level, location independent entrepreneur, we are pulling together a mastermind group for you. Check it out at

Tropicalmba.com slash fundamentals. I'll tell you what, this stuff really can happen fast.

I did go back and listen to a couple of our old episodes for the first time in a really long time,

in particular one that I did from Borokai Beach. And if you're interested in seeing what Borikai looks like, I recommend that you Google it or check out this post. I'll put up a bunch of photos just from breakfast this morning. It's a stunning place here in the Philippines. I highly recommend coming here. It's a great place to relax. And I just compare what it was like the first time that I came here.

I think it was like episode nine. I was like, you know, oh my gosh, I'm going to go to the Philippines and check out this virtual assistant thing. And I remember walking down the beach, like trying to find the cheapest guest house and all this kind of stuff. And even looking back at my photos from that trip, it was in 2009. and when I first arrived in Borikai I saw this
