Early morning start from Miskolc. Three and a half hours on the road. BNI International Conference, Balatonfüred.

Worth every minute.

🎤 Spent most of the day with András Avidor — his talk, lunch, conversations. Met a lot of people, made real connections both ways: gave and received.

But one idea stuck with me. András talked about the parameters of success — and they don’t add up. They multiply.

Which means if you zero out on one, the whole result is zero.

The three parameters:

Visibility — you need to be where your clients are. Being good isn’t enough. They have to know about you.

Reliability — it matters how you work, how you show up, how you treat people. This isn’t about image. It’s about character.

Efficiency — your time is finite. If you’re not efficient, the other two won’t save you.

🧠 This multiplication logic hit hard because it’s exactly what I do every single day. I make videos because I need to be visible. We work with precision in the factory because reliability is non-negotiable. And I use AI tools from content creation to design because efficiency is what makes a small team scalable.

András reinforced what I already feel: you don’t need to be excellent in just one area. You need all three at once — because the product is ruthless. One zero and the whole thing collapses.

📍 Now heading to Budapest. Tomorrow: Portfolio Construction Industry Conference, then an evening mastermind session. Back home Thursday.

Keep moving. Keep connecting. Show people how you can help.

Because value creation doesn’t happen from the couch. Value creation is on the road.

Monday morning run — done.

Someone messaged me over the weekend asking how to move forward, just a little, day by day.

I answered with one image.

Picture yourself standing by a river. The water flows downhill — that’s nature doing its thing. If you sit down and do nothing, gravity and entropy will take care of you. Just not the way you’d want.

If you don’t choose your direction, someone else will. And if nobody cares enough to bother — nature will.

This isn’t a motivational quote. It’s physics.

Most people drift along the river. They see something in the distance — a peak, a goal, a dream — but uncertainty stops them cold. Because nobody guarantees you’ll get there.

Of course not. That’s exactly why you need systems, not just willpower.

Read books by people who started from zero and made it. They’ll tell you how they thought. Not all will click. But one will.

And suddenly you’re no longer drifting. You look up and see where the mountains are.

Your brain didn’t evolve to memorize data. That’s a modern myth.

It exists to connect dots across unknown terrain. To get you from A to B when you have no clue what’s ahead. That’s what you’re built for.

Everyone has talent — just not in the same thing. Some trade, some build, some think deep, some help others.

The book that started it for me was Atomic Habits. The core idea: get 1% better every day.

When I started running at 34, I could barely do 1,400 meters. My goal was 2 km.

I didn’t go all in. I added 20 meters per run. Not more.

After a few weeks I could’ve pushed harder. But I stuck to the system. Twenty meters, no more.

Three runs a week, +20m each — that’s 150 sessions a year. That’s 3 km of progress. Way past the goal.

In 18 months I hit 12 km. Lost 22 kilos. My immune system rebuilt itself — I don’t need a test to know that, I feel it.

One percent daily beats one heroic effort you can’t sustain.

Make a plan.
Don’t drift downstream.
Look up — find the mountains.

And start walking.

Pulled into the Berente site this morning. And there it was.

The first walls of our prototype technology building are standing. Not on a render. Not on a drawing table. In reality. The team could barely wait to walk over and see it. I went too.

Even better up close.

We assembled 2D panels for the walls, while the house structure itself is built entirely from 3D volumetric elements. The 16-centimeter thermal insulation layer is clearly visible in blue. Underneath, a simulated base slab fitted with waterproofing. The end wall is solid, joints are precise, the gap is minimal — 15 millimeters.

We used wooden formwork for now, for speed. The final steel formwork solution is coming.

But the point isn’t that it looks good. The point is that this building is already teaching us.

Small nuances came to the surface — things that would cost serious money on a live project. The waterproofing overlap, for instance — a few millimeters of bulging can affect how the entire structure behaves. When you manufacture to precision, every single millimeter matters.

That’s exactly why we built the prototype before building anyone’s house.

🔧 The rest of the day we worked on our own internal operations. We’re a loose, agile team — we never liked formal rules. But now we’re making so many decisions, and we need to define our processes in such detail to stay efficient, that keeping it all in our heads just doesn’t cut it anymore. We started a new habit: every meeting gets an immediate protocol, which then gets developed into a formal standard. AI is a daily tool in this — not just for me, but for the whole team.

Hilti also visited. Not just as a tool supplier — they showed us IT solutions that can support our workflow too. We’ll see where it leads.

📐 The highlight of the day was BuildEXT’s presentation. Csaba Livják and Sándor Nagy’s design firm showed us how they work with BIM day to day. Futuristic. We want that future too — but not to show off. We want real results and real efficiency back from the system.

At the end of the day, Gáspár Panghy came by — the founder of Nordii. We reviewed costs, coordinated the next projects, then walked out to the prototype building together.

Gáspár rarely says anything positive. Today he said:

“Now this is a professional product.”

Then he added that half of Europe will come to see what we Hungarians put together. We’re not thinking vertically — we’re not building ten-story towers. We’re going horizontal. Ground floor, one level, two-three stories. High-quality modular prefab where everyone wins.

This isn’t a dream. It’s standing in Berente right now.

We’ll hold an open day soon, and we’re planning a one-day conference too. Gáspár will be there, sharing the philosophy that hooked me from the start: how to build so that not only the construction is fast, but the maintenance stays affordable too.

Tomorrow we continue. Steps forward.

Woke up this morning not thinking much about the day ahead.

Then I remembered: today we assemble our prototype elements for the first time.

Suddenly the day felt different.

🏗️ We lifted four 15-ton prefabricated concrete wall elements into place at our Berente facility.

First real-world assembly. Six months of tooling development led to this moment.

The goal was simple: prove the system works.

Prove that our molds produce elements with millimeter-level accuracy. Prove they fit together. Prove the insulation layer handles the load.

And it all checked out.

Gaps between elements? Nearly invisible. Floor deviation? One millimeter. External surface tolerance? Four to five mm max — on elements 6 meters wide, over 3 meters tall, weighing 12 to 14 tons each.

The real number that matters: 42 sqm assembled to structural completion in half a day.

With better logistics, a family home could be structurally complete in two days.

This isn’t a revolution. It’s engineering. Small steps, but every step is measurable.

We’re also working on an 86 sqm weekend house design — first client feedback looks promising.

We’re open for business: element delivery, structural completion on-site, or full turnkey.

Contractors, investors, developers — reach out.

The vision is building better, faster, cheaper. Starting in Hungary. Then Central Europe. Then beyond.

But right now? We’re focused on millimeters.

Because that’s where everything starts.

Wow, impressive! Last time I was around multi-ton concrete blocks, millimeters were the last thing on my mind! 😅 Great job on the precision! 😎

Although this is not an official statement from the Ukrainian government, this video perfectly captures the current Ukrainian style.
Political analyst Oleksiy Zhulavskyi responded to Prime Minister Orbán’s demand to repair the Druzhba oil pipeline by threatening to send TCK conscription squads to Hungary: ‘They will arrive, pack up all the men, and that will be the end of it – without a single shot fired.’
This kind of rhetoric speaks volumes.

⚠️ “But nobody told me.”
How many times have we heard that sentence?

So let me say it now.
I’m telling you now.
I’m warning you now.

🌍 Two major processes are happening in the world that will fundamentally reshape our lives.

One is artificial intelligence and the role it will play in the economy.
The other is money printing, which is the foundation of today’s fiat monetary system.

Every country in the world uses this kind of system.
That means money is not tied to anything — not to gold, not to any real backing.
It can simply be created.

And governments have taken on so much debt that in reality it will never be fully repaid.

📊 When you have two points like this that seem certain, the real question becomes:

What will you do?
What will I do?

As an engineer, I always start from the solid facts.

💡 The first principle: you must be useful.

It doesn’t matter whether you are paid for it right now or not.
In the long run, you will make a living by creating value.

This is a law of nature.

🌧️ If it rains, you can’t stop it.
If geopolitical events happen, you can’t control them.
If oil prices rise, you have no influence over that either.

But you always have influence over what you do.

🧠 For example:

• take care of your health
• develop your skills
• become more valuable in the market
• adapt to change

Your health, for example, is entirely your responsibility.

Many illnesses can be treated or cured, but no one will take the first step for you.

🤖 And then there is artificial intelligence.

If you’re not using it yet, start now.

You don’t have to understand everything immediately.
Just experiment with it.

Take a photo of a contract.
Ask it to explain it.
Let it help you fill out a document.
Ask it to interpret an invoice.

AI will not replace the jobs of people who use it.

It will replace the jobs of people who refuse to use it.

And we can already see this happening.

A friend of mine recently let two people go from his company because much of the project management work was automated using AI.

And this isn’t something that will happen ten years from now.

It’s happening right now.
The world changes every six months.

💰 The other question is money.

You can’t stop money printing.
You can’t stop politics either.

But you can choose to act differently than the crowd.

You can pay attention to things like:

• not living on credit
• becoming more valuable in the market
• having cash reserves
• but not keeping all your wealth in money

If the value of money declines by 8–10% per year, then in ten years more than half of your savings disappears.

That’s why it makes sense to think about assets that cannot simply be inflated away.

For example:

• real estate
• productive assets
• farmland
• gold
• bitcoin

You don’t have to agree with everything.

But you do have to think.

⚡ The world is changing fast.

And the biggest difference will not be who was smarter.

It will be who was willing to adapt in time.

There is still time.
You can still act.

Don’t just drift along.

Have a great day! 👋

"AI will not replace the jobs of people who use it. It will replace the jobs of people who refuse to use it." Wow, it's golden! I've never thought about it this way! Thanks! 🙏 😎

🏗️ We started early this morning because the fourth prototype is no longer just a concrete pour — it’s a level up.

After the first three elements, we can now say it clearly:
we are capable of manufacturing dimensionally precise reinforced concrete elements.

📐 On a six-meter diagonal, the maximum deviation is 2 mm.
On internal dimensions: 0–1 mm.

This doesn’t just sound good.
It means we can assemble the load-bearing structure of a 100 m² two-story family house in two days — without tension, forcing, or post-corrections.

⚙️ But precision is only the first milestone.

Now comes the next question:
how do we become twice as efficient?

At the moment, we’re operating at around 50% efficiency.
It’s a solid starting point. But it’s not enough.

That’s why I was in the hall at the beginning of the shift.
We reviewed:

– mold assembly
– the demolding process
– lifting and re-closing
– production sequencing
– team structure

We’ve also formed a dedicated micro-team focused exclusively on process improvement. They document, optimize, and accelerate.

🧠 Manufacturing is not just concrete and steel.

Without digital control, there is no scalability.

In the rebar fabrication unit, production is no longer tracked on paper — everything runs digitally.
Starting tomorrow, we’ll monitor team progress using line charts in Notion, because with this many parallel development tracks, you simply can’t keep it all in your head.

This is not administration.
This is control.

👷‍♂️ Meanwhile, the team is expanding.

Within two weeks, a new project manager will join the construction division.
The goal is clear:
not just to be precise — but fast and organized.

📜 And of course, the regulatory environment is changing as well.

In Hungary, something in construction law changes almost every year.
Right now too.
But that’s not something to complain about — it’s something to respond to.

We look for solutions.
Ahead of time.

✅ First milestone checked.
Now comes fine-tuning, speed, and scaling.

Tomorrow we continue.

❄️ Cold morning. Sharp air.
We started early again.

🏭 I began downstairs in the office, then moved into the K hall where our first Nordii elements are being produced.
Yesterday I saw the product still in the mold.
Today I inspected the demolded element in person.

📐 First impressions:
– walls perfectly aligned
– corners clean and solid
– minimal aesthetic runoff at the base
No structural issues. That’s what matters.

🧠 At the same time, we were running training on-site:
laser scanner and LiDAR system onboarding.

The goal is clear:
Document every completed phase in 3D with survey-level accuracy.
Not just photos — but a digital twin with centimeter precision.

📦 The first pull from the new mold worked.
There will be minor refinements, but 15 years of in-house mold manufacturing experience is paying off.

Target:
4 elements per day in this hall, plus 4 in the other.

🧱 Meanwhile in Nyíregyháza, our 19-unit project is progressing:
– roofs installed
– windows in place
– insulation underway

Soon we’ll continue structural work using our new proprietary molds.

🤝 Inside, the team is operating:
quality control, metalwork, logistics, assembly.

And what matters most to me:
the processes run even without me.

🛣️ On the way home, I’m already thinking about the next steps:
improvements, optimization, contracts, apartment sales.

This is the focus now:
standardization, precision, digitalization —
and building a scalable system.

We move forward.
Step by step.

❄️ The snow was falling beautifully.
Another busy day.

🏭 In the morning I went to Berente to check the first product made with our own mold. This is the moment when theory meets reality.

🔍 After stripping the formwork, the first things I checked:
– no cement leakage
– smooth surface
– diagonals within 1–3 mm over a 6.7-meter length

That’s a good reason to be optimistic.

👷‍♂️ But more importantly: this is not my success.
It’s teamwork.

I provide the vision, direction and resources.
They design, weld, assemble, vibrate and pour.
The real work is delivered by the team.

🥂 We also “christened” the mold with a bottle of champagne, just like ships.
It didn’t break perfectly — but the mold held.
There’s nearly 10 tons of steel in it, so it’s a solid foundation. 😄

📏 In the coming days we’ll produce three more sample elements to test dimensional stability and production consistency.
If this works, we scale.

🚗 From there I headed straight to Budapest for a meeting.
Stopped by the office to change shoes — the dress code in a production hall is different from a business meeting.

We’re moving forward.
Step by step.

🏨 I’ve just arrived at Hotel Auróra, where we’re hosting a Bitcoin meetup tonight — but before that, let me answer what I experience in everyday life.

📊 I don’t live the “average Hungarian life,” since I’m an entrepreneur. My work is about capital allocation and building teams that create value beyond themselves. Because of this, I see inflation and economic processes from a slightly different angle.

💼 In recent years, I’ve experienced that raw material prices didn’t primarily explode due to market forces, but often because of state interventions distorting the picture — road tolls, taxes, regulations. The biggest pressure, however, has been on wages: year after year at least a 10% increase.

We consciously raised salaries because I believe that those who create value deserve competitive and dignified compensation.

💰 But what do I see in the near future?

In my view, central banks have two choices — and neither is painless.

1️⃣ Keep interest rates high (around 6% here, around 4% in the U.S.).
This slows down the economy, but government financing becomes increasingly expensive. If this continues, sooner or later debt pressure could lead to money printing.

2️⃣ Lower interest rates.
In this case, capital parked in bonds and securities flows back into the real economy — into real estate, land, assets, services. This also generates inflationary pressure.

🔁 Either way — monetary inflation is the likely outcome.

For me, the post-Covid period feels like a grace period. The question is not whether inflation will return, but when and in what form it will accelerate.

🏗️ What can we do?

Think in real assets.
Assets that create value and preserve it over the long term.

– Real estate: stable, inflation-resistant, even if it “only” delivers 3–4% rental yield.
– Bitcoin: fixed supply, monetary discipline, global liquidity.

🎯 I’m not trying to scare anyone — I’m preparing.

If you have questions, feel free to ask — we’ll also discuss this tonight at the meetup.

Have a great day!
