In reply to Tiffany. Great observation, Tiff! Indeed, I think it's people like Jon who just GO for it that tend to make it in the end. Very few millionaires are made by playing it safe. ;-)

Wow! This is a really interesting case study. Here is another example of how it can take a couple of trys to find your groove. What an interesting way to go about it! It’s also a bit refreshing to see someone talk about how they are just going for it. As Jon said, maybe he will need to alter that at some point, but also it’s an honest showing that sometimes we just have to go forward in our own way.

Hey Ryan,
I imagine building a “bricks and mortar” business abroad (especially in Asia) would have huge challenges, but I’ll bet perseverance and tenaciousness pays off massively – especially if it’s a business that caters to the demands of both locals and tourists (like motorbikes).

Jon is such an interesting guy Nora. I know another Brit who built a thriving motorbike rental business in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He said it took a while to build it right but now it has really taken off.
