Hey hey heeeeey !
Guess who is back?
Hi Gang!
Long time no see! I had (and still had) trouble retrieving my original Poker Strategy login/password info. The email associated with my account I stopped using couple of years ago and can't enter it to retrieve actual password for PS! So I decided to create a new account all together and post in the blog with it.
It ain't the most creative account but it does the job for now (although better tittle would have been IvicaIliev77from2019on)
We missed each other a lot I am sure. I see You have been wondering what I have been up to. I was in contact with Mysst via my Instagram while I was in Thailand. He already told you gang about my Muay Thai training there (in Bangkok mostly although was in Phuket at Tiger Muay Thai on several occasions also!). I actually acquired student visa for Muay Thai which is still active for my studies btw.
I am currently however in Serbia, solving some family important matters. Once I finish with this, I will consider returning to Thailand as soon as I surpass my fear of flying! That's right, after 50-100 flights in my life, it happened that my last flight was very bad landing with plane swinging like stacks in Spins playing as 4:1 favorite 
So after that landing experience I told myself I will not fly ever again unless: 1) I go when weather in Europe is warm which matches with Thailand weather conditions so less likely to have turbulence 2) When they invent some injection that can put me to sleep and then give me another one to wake up when the plane lands. Since the weather conditions back home are not ideal (last night 2 degrees celzius with raining) it seems like I won't be going to Thailand for at least a month IMO.
What happened in the meantime besides Muay Thai You may wonder?
Well, I was expending my sources of income, improving my skills and knowledge on money (making, saving, investing) as well as taxes and businesses.
If You recall in some of the past updates, I did mention towards what direction I was going and what my goals were. Since most of You that follow the blog know that I come with major music background education and work experience, one of the passive income sources I developed through my students who pay me % for the students that they got through me. This is just one source of the income that is on auto pilot. Another one is poker deals. If You followed me on Twitch You have seen that I became affiliate and offer awesome deals for different sites/networks to players. So far I haven't had a single complain from anyone who signed up through me and that is a good thing in my book. With affiliate deals You know how it works, I offer best deal and then whatever % is left on top is left to me, so even if 1 player comes to me and makes say 1000 eur in rake and I have 1% affiliate commission for me, well that's 10 euro extra for me - mobile phone bill monthly covered. Other things I am involved with passive income are with saving accounts in bank (high interest ones) and real estate. Very soon I will start gaining some capital on my real estate investment which again can and will be auto pilot profit. Other things I am investigating and working hard on is investing in my friends businesses that are profitable or that books shows enough cash flow that leaves place for another employee (me/boss/investor). So basically looking for business ventures and opportunities which are already profitable and for certain amount of xy I get % of that investment back in a year. Trick is of course to find profitable businesses that are willing to let You in on it and then of course to see risk vs rewards. Example: If Bank gives You 4% interest to save Your money, You obviously want to find businesses that bring you more then 4% of interest per year for your money - otherwise You might as well keep Your money in the bank. In the meantime I have spent and still do invest hours every day studying money in and out, cash flow, how to read and set up businesses, how to save on taxes, what are best options with certain levels of risk/age etc. On top of all this, I have returned to one of my old loves which is betting on football where I have developed several successful (so far) trading strategies!
So all these things have made me enough passive income that I can afford to go to Thailand, study Muay Thai and not stress about money for living expenses - which was always my dream. If You recall in the past, I talked about hourly, working vs making money (investments) work for You. This was always ultimate goal for me, get to the point where passive income gets me freedom to do things I absolutely love to do and enjoy.
Most that follow blog know that I am family oriented person who will do anything for family and friends, enjoy Asian girls, poker, sports betting, investing and improving every day while aiming to help and reach as many people as possible.
So, some May wonder why am I back now ? ♦
Well as I said, I have important business to finish in next month or so and also need time for nice weather to kick in before I potentially return to Thailand to finish my Muay Thai studies - that is IF I OVERCOME FEAR OF FLYING! (big IF).
So what will I do in the meantime?
I retrieved my log in info for Stars and Twitch and deposited some money to Twitch for fun. I was thinking nl10 zoom 4 tabling with or without a hud and even doing some spins with or without a hud.
So if that sounds interesting for You to watch and feel like You can learn something or simply reconnect with me - let me know!
That is all for this 1st post after a long dry no posting season.
Feel free to ask questions, share Your thoughts - I look forward hearing from You!

I think training Muay Thai will last 10 months as well, so definitely becoming a lethal weapon.
