My current goal is build my online business to the point where I can move to Vegas and work 100% from my condo and only go out when I want to.

The internet makes this kind of thing possible for anyone who wants to work at it.

@AJ – Yeah. I think sometimes we get stuck into the notion that if we only lived in New York or (insert your favorite place) then we would be successful, yet many people did great things while living in the middle of nowhere.

Nice post, very interesting. Those are great examples of people making something out of nothing.

Thanks for the shout out! And I do think that there are major infrastructure difficulties out here too. But we have friends who grow roses, drive them in refrigerated trucks a good 10+ hours to Dar es Salaam, and ship them to Europe.

They are really successful and pay 100 employees the min wage (which is actually good since official min wage is 80K shillings a month, and most people pay is 20K), and another 100 employees part time wages. They are doing an excellent job, but they had to build all of the infrastructure themselves, and have yet to get electricity. They’ve already tried wind, hydroelectric, and solar. They use generators now.
