a grateful reminder đ
Gâday friends, Yesterday morning, I woke up at 4:32am to catch a flight to Japan. Iâm flew 6+ hours and 5,237km to Haneda, Tokyo. (or 3,253 miles for my American chaps). I arrived in Tokyo and then drove another 3 hours to Gunma. What for? Iâm joining 10,000+ entrepreneurs for the Annual National Convention for the Japanese Young Entrepreneurâs Group. Itâs one of the largest entrepreneurship events in Japan. While excited, I woke up yesterday feeling a bit tired and overworked. It was early...
steal these solopreneur niche đĽˇ
Gâday Gâday friends, I was at Chinese New Year dinner with my family. Inevitably, the question of my career came up. I talked about what I was doing: Consulting. Coaching. Digital products. Travel. Itâs always the last two that peaks interest. One of my younger cousins asked: How can I build an online business? He wants to: live overseas. make money online. have more freedom in life. I get it. Iâve been there before. So, being the older cousin I gave him some ideas. I offered a suggestion...
I got interrogated đ
Gâday, Gâday friends, Iâm 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. Itâs the one celebration where I see all my family. Iâve 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 need a break đľ
G'day G'day friends, It's been a massive week. Earlier this week, I negotiated a big client deal for 2026. I also progressed an opportunity that I can't speak about publicly (yet). And yesterday, I hosted a 2-hour LIVE workshop on re-selling your corporate experience. Fair to say I'm a bit tired. I'm currently sitting at my desk feeling like a train hit me. It's moments like this where I love being a solopreneur. After this email, I'm going to sign-off and get lunch with friends. Take a short...
LAST CALL: Solo coaches and consultants, read this đŁ
G'day G'day friends, Last week, I was a on a call with Hannah. She works as a VP of Marketing at an insurance company. She's excellent at what she does. 18+ years of executive experience. Billions of dollars of revenue generated during her career. But when she became a solopreneur, she struggled to make 5k per month. Not because she didn't know the technical part of her job. Nope. When she got clients, they were satisfied. Servicing clients wasn't the problem. Attracting clients was the...

entrepreneurs obsess over this đ¤
Gâday Gâday friends, Iâve had a terrible night of sleep. It was one of those nights. Canât fall asleep. Thoughts are racing in my mind. Heart feels like itâs coming out of my chest. I barely slept for 2 hours before waking up. Iâd fall asleep again and repeat the cycle. But despite this, I still show up. This morning, Iâve: Edited a chapter of my book. Wrote a long-form article. Practiced handstands. 3-min cold plunge. Sent this email. All before midday. Iâve still made 1% progress in every...
You are a unicorn đŚ
Gâday Gâday friends, Dating is Bali is notoriously hard. The population is transient. The island is filled with tourists. And most people are here for a good time, not a long time. But somewhere on this small island, thereâs a person. Theyâve got their phone in one hand. Half-eaten durian in the other. Scrolling through profiles. Left. Left. Left. Left. Swipe, swipe, and more swipe. âAbsolutely not.â âStill lives with his mum.â âGym mirror selfie⌠again?â And then suddenly⌠They stop. Because...
named in the Epstein files đď¸
Gâday Gâday friends, Over 1,000 documents have been released. And the internet went into meltdown. Everyone from Bill Gates to Elon Musk have been named. Heads will roll. What a wild time we live in. But you want to know whatâs even crazier? Most corporate professionals are sitting on a lifetime of their own ârestricted information.â Not a secret island for s3x parties. Not intelligence briefings. But something almost as valuable: Decades of experience. Hard-won lessons. Painful mistakes....
cause a rug addiction đ
Gâday Gâday friends, I have recently finished reading Hotel K by Kathryn Bonella. Become a RUG dealer This book it details the underworld 3rug scene in Bali. A lot of people think that Bali is all about yoga retreats, spirituality, and gyms. Or they think it's all an Eat, Pray, Love vibe. But there is an unspoken but very well-known dark side of the rug scene in Bali. There have been high-profile cases like the Bali 9 and Schapelle Corby. They were caught trying to smuggle rugs into...
