Have a brilliant idea to drop out of the corporate world for good

Hair transplant brokerage.

Will spend the next 4 months setting this up and then travel the world brokering hair transplant deals remotely form a beach.

This guy says sometimes brokers are clearing 200k/month.

I was watching love is blind on netflix with my GF and there's a guy in the latest season who looks like you and doesn't have a job but LARPs as a currency trader and dates women so that he has free housing.
Balding is death. If you have no hair, you have no life.

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

You're no spring chicken, leave the get rich schemes for younger guys and get your affairs in order.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Represent 20 clinics

Get a referral for each one per month and that’s 4k a month

Just have to position yourself as an expert in hair loss

I basically talk about hair loss full time on a gay, dying and primarily Indian bodybuilding forum … may as well get paid for it

Can they do me one where they sparsely fill in the bald spot on the top of my head but not all the way so it doesn’t look ridiculous if I continue to bald. And then fix my hairline. Do they do transplants on people who aren’t willing to take finasteride

There's like 4 posters here. How do you plan to refer 20 per month? And even then that's 48k/year

How is someone pulling in 200k per month is a better question. 20 per month is 4k, so you'd have to refer 1000 people per month.

I did a Google search and roughly 12000 hair transplants happen in the US per month. So to get the 200k claimed by this broker you'd have to account for 1/12th of all hair transplants that happen in the U.S. Even if you applied it across the entire globe that's still roughly 1/60th of all transplants per month brokered by a single person.




Basically...... this happened

At the end of the day most surgeons just want your money and will do whatever you tell them to do. Although some surgeons like Dr. Patty in Thailand tend to refuse service if they aren’t confident in the final aesthetics of the result since their business is ultimately built on reputation.

It’s not a requirement to be on fin.

A good surgeon will always suggest that you’re on finasteride prior to your surgery.

A misleading surgeon wont bring it up or tell you it isn’t necessary because they want you coming back for additional surgeries.

I wouldn't find business on this forum.

I’m a massive contributor on the hairloss subreddit … I’ve achieved the top percent commenter badge and my posts and comments routinely get hundreds and sometimes thousands of upvotes. I’m constantly answering questions there and giving advice and I see all the misinformation and lack of knowledge in this space.

I’m sort of a big deal over there.

Also my brokerage business would focus on clinics beyond the U.S.

The guy who sold me on my transplant seems to be doing very very well. Creeped him on Instagram and he appears to be a baller. Swedish guy from Stockholm.

Also I think you could get more than 200 bucks. The guy in my video mentioned 20 percent - so say 1000 bucks for a 5k transplant.

What hair surgeon would you recommend? Do you think it’s possible to have it done so it won’t look ridiculous if recession continues?

Just set up a vpn tunnel at your parents house and then Keep your existing WFH job and you can make it appear you are logging in from your parents house while living cheap in Vietnam or thailand

Or go to south America if you want to be in similar time zones

I’m only really familiar with Turkish clinics. But based on my research over the past few years common names I keep seeing come up as solid for Turkey are.

Dr. Bicer
Dr. Peckinger
Dr. Turan
Dr. Aygin

But in general there are a few things you need to look out for (I plan on devising a scoring system to quantify how good a surgeon is on a scale of 1-10 and the below is off the top of my head)

1) how involved is the doctor…if the doctor isn’t actually involved in the transplant you need to inquire about how experienced the techs are

2) how many transplants are they doing per day… anything over 4-5 is a red flag and could suggest a hair mill

3) hair loss forums are littered with progorganda from the clinic

4) are they promising you some mega session 5k graft plus transplant? This could be a red flag as you only have so much donor area

As for your question that totally depends on your balding. For me absolutely not, I have extremely aggressive balding. But maybe yours is so gradual that you’ll keep a lot of your native hair and it’ll look fine in 10-20-30 years.

I’m Norwood 3.5 or maybe 4. My dad is fully bald to where he only has hair on the sides and back I assume I will be like him by my mid 30s as it is going pretty fast
