Heyho Boys and Girls :)

Who said the update will be here on this blog, I just said there will be an update :P I actually meant on my new blog (would simply be not possible to produce vids for coaching site A and blog on coaching site B. In case you didn't realize I am no longer a coach for PS, here's the official statement from my blog a while ago: Monkeymode: I like to move it move it ).

I won't link you to my new home as a coach and blogger (forum rules ftw!), but I can tell you videos and blog updates will be out on the interwebz on my new poker home within the next weeks. Can be tomorrow, can be in two weeks. I am talking about what videos and blog entries to expect in my first posts/vids on that site. If you want to follow me, you will probably find out where to do so easily :)

Overall, poker gets more and more fun these days since I am playing less and less. 75% of my working time I am dedicating to my business ventures and about 25% on playing and coaching the game that we love :heart: (sidenote: yes prof, that also includes working on our book :P ) When I play, I mostly play Zoom or 1-2 HU tables when I got a lot of time in the evening. Great fun Great to be able to have fun playing a game and making money while doing so. Bi-winning!

I didn't play much live lately since I am simply too busy trying to take over the business world. Since I have many promising projects with great teams running and still many more in the pipeline, I recently decided to launch a big investment company with a few close and smart friends, mostly focusing on venture capital and consulting start-ups (for now, in the future we might go fo the homerun and turn into an investment bank and truly take over muhahahah :] )

But seriously, I think it's important not to lose focus. Bigger is not necessarily always better. The key is finding a healthy mix/balance in order to maximise relative and not absolute wealth of us/our companies/our partners/our employees/all our stakeholders while not losing sight of what really counts. More of TT rambling about business/poker/life in my new blog :)

Gotta come to an end now, Skype meeting in 14 mins. Gotta love it. :heart:

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Once again, let me tell you it was a great time blogging here but this blog has come to an end ... TwiceT has not
Take care and if you got some time, listen to that talk. It's really not about Skateboarding ... really good imo, you might have to listen to it twice to really see what I mean.

What sort of 'business' do you do?

Capital/share investments? Private backings? Consultancy? Derivatives/Hedging?

I'm running a small investment fund with a few friends from uni mainly focusing on derivatives. Our capital/risked investment ratio is around ~12% although can get up to 15%.

If you are looking to dominate the business world derivatives is the way to go buddy.

Would take me a few pages to go into detail. Check out my new blog (will be on next week most likely, finally .... rly strange not to blog and trash talk regularly, I already feel like getting too serious overall haha). Will share my approach and what we are doing in a few of my companies/projects in my blog (similar to http://www.foreverjobless.com )

I personally do consultancy, but just on the side. For the most part I/we are early stage venture capital investors (through an investment company I am managing partner at). However, since I am also involved in a few start-ups myself as entrepreneur, I would consider myself a bit of a hybrid between a serial entrepreneur and investor.

As much as I would like to get into speculation and hedging more, I just don't have the time atm. I do agree, that for ultimate world domination, I need an investment fund one day. Luckily I have a few friends who advise and coach me regularly about derivatives.
Follow my new blog or add me on Skype sir, if you ever feel like sharing some wisdom :)
