The Real Numbers · Cebu, Philippines
I lost $300K. Then I lost the $60K I took to Cebu.
I'm rebuilding, and here's every mistake.
I moved to the Philippines in September 2024 with about $60K, and over the next two years that was gone too. I'm rebuilding in public from Cebu. The free playbook is every mistake that cost me real money, my real numbers, and the setup I'm rebuilding on, so you don't repeat them.
