I have been living in the Bali Power House for one week now and time has really gone by fast! the experience so far has been almost overwhelming. The synergy and atmosphere in the Power House is like nothing I have experienced before! The people here are really cool and we have fun all the time!
We eat healthy food prepared by our chef Tiwi, our rooms and the villas are kept nice and clean due to Ayu who is our housekeeper. Everyone here at Power House loves what they do and it just creates a synergy that is extremely hard to match.
Today we had one of our unique CrossFit sessions … or I guess we should call it PoolCross as we always workout around the pool. We all select an exercise and each exercise is performed in 1 minute and 30 seconds. We usually do two rounds of this which makes it a total of 20-25 minute workout. My goal is to push in a third round, but so far there have been no takers We filmed the event today and I just wanted to show you guys back home how we work out at the Power House in Bali.
Michael and I met up in Copenhagen airport and started our long journey to Bali. The flight took about 22 hours in total and we landed in Doha and Singapore on our way to Bali. We had a short stop at a nice bar/restaurant on our way from the airport to the villas. Satey and Bintang - what a great start
When we arrived at the villas, Michael showed me around and I got to meet most of the other residents here. A really nice group of people! I could tell right away that we would get along easily.
I keep getting distracted by huge lizards swimming in the river below the terrasse where I am sitting … I guess I’ll get used to that soon enough
This is what my current workspace looks like: I have the river below me and to the right I am overlooking a huge rice field. The scenery is just incredible!
It’s my fourth day here and I’m loving it! We have already talked a lot about our project and had a really great short workshop. The game we are working on is going to be loads of fun creating and playing. Coline and Jeff who have been here since mid december are really talented and excited about game development. More about the game we are developing in a later post…
There are quite a number of Danes here and last night we went out with a couple that had just moved here. We started out at their new villa with a housewarming party and then moved on to a place in Kuta called the Sky Garden. This was a huge disco with 4 or 5 floors (can’t really remember hehe), where they played different music for each floor. It was great fun and the show girls at Sky Garden surely know how to put on a show
I’m a little hung over and my ears are still ringing from the LOUD music last night. I think I’ll take a quick dip in the pool and then find a nice spot where I can relax and prepare for our first all day workshop tomorrow.
Here I am … lying in my brothers couch writing this post. I can’t stay in my own appartment, as I have rented it out to my cousin. It’s late at night and I’ve just finished packing … I’m leaving tomorrow morning for Bali!
It’s only been a little over one month since I sent in my video application to Michael Bodekær from ProjectGetAway and since then it’s been an extremely hectic few weeks for me as I’ve had to sell my car, rent out my flat, get leave from my job and a ton of other minor things that I needed to get in order.
If you’ve been following me on this blog, then you know I love to spend time working on my Internet Marketing projects. I really love to market online as it eventually gives me the opportunity to work full time as an entrepreneur. I’ve know for many years that I eventually want to give it a shot as an entrepreneur full time.
When I learned that the team from ProjectGetAway were looking for a founder apprentice I just knew I had to send in a video and apply for the position. They actually had a few positions that I was interested in and knew I could do well, so I created an all round video and sent it in and crossed my fingers.
A few days later, I was sitting in a cafe in Copenhagen with Michael and we had a great talk about the various projects they were running and one project in particular which really caught my attention! Michael wants to create a computer game that teach people how to get started as an entrepreneur and spreads awareness about entrepreneurship. I was hooked! You might remember that I created LifestyleNetworker a few years ago which was going to be an Internet Marketing Management Game so I had a lot of experience from that project and I also have a passion for creating e-learning systems. I was excited and so was Michael!
So here we are a few weeks later getting ready to leave for Bali tomorrow. You see Michael has setup a couple of “Power Houses” on Bali, which essentially are luxury villas where he gathers his teams of talented entrepreneurs where they live and work together on exciting projects. This is also what we will be doing with the entrepreneur game project. We will start on Bali, but the plan is to move to Bandung on Java and find a villa there where we can build a rock star team.
You can follow the progress here on my blog as I will post updates whenever there is something exciting to share

We filmed the event today and I just wanted to show you guys back home how we work out at the Power House in Bali.
