Ep 40 - What a Week Can do for Productivity, Bootstrapping Entrepreneur in Chiang Mai

7/8/2014

In just one short week bootstrapping entrepreneur Ben Finnigan has accomplished more, and spent less than he had previously dreamed of. With a budget of $750US a month, Ben's goal was to be up and running within a month, but what he failed to realize is how easy life is in Chiang Mai, Thailand.  Within 8 days Ben has launched two websites, brought his dormant eCommerce store back to life, made almost $400 in profit, furnished his apartment and met tons of other entrepreneurs along the way. 

In 40 episodes I've never asked a guest to be on the show back to back, but Ben's story had to be shared.  In this episode Ben talks about how he had to rebook his flight 4 times to finally make it, how he helped fix Johnny's terrible squat form within days instead of months, and if PunSpace really lives up to the hype.  Listen to Episode 40 here.
