I got interrogated 🏇


G’day, G’day friends,

I’m back in Singapore to celebrate Chinese New Year.

This is a massive celebration across Asia.

In Singapore, most things are closed.

I love this time of the year.

It’s the one celebration where I see all my family.

I’ve spent the last two days seeing cousins I only see once or twice a year.

We get together, eat, and catch-up on life.

One of the tradition is exchanging red packets.

These are filled with small sums of money and wishes of prosperity and health.

As a kid, I'd love to just get the money.

But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve started to notice something else.

Chinese New Year isn’t about the money (surprise, surprise).

It’s about being interrogated by your Asian relatives.

Especially your retired aunties with too much time on their hands.

With a nice smile, they will rapidly fire:

  • “When are you getting married?”
  • “What’s your plan this year?”
  • “How’s work going?”

and also, “When are you getting married?”

To preserve my sanity, I reframe these questions.

Behind these questions are my loving aunties are asking:

Are you moving forward?

Are you on the right path?

Are you building a life you’re proud of?

The Year of the Horse is supposed to be about movement, energy, and momentum.

A lot of people enter a new year…

Doing the exact same thing as last year.

Same job. Same stress. Same routine.

The same quiet feeling that something isn’t quite right.

They tell themselves:

“Maybe next year.”

But next year becomes the year after that.

And then five years pass.

That’s why I built something simple to help you understand your solopreneur journey.

It’ll show you:

  • Where you actually are right now in your solopreneur journey.
  • What’s holding you and your business back.
  • And the next step you should take to grow your revenue.

Because sometimes, the best red packet you can give yourself…

Is a new direction.

P.S - Here's all the red packets I got this year...
