wisdom isnât cheap đŚ
Gâday Gâday friends, I recently finished reading Ryan Holidayâs book: Wisdom Takes Work. Iâve been feeling reflective recently. Iâm finding that the usual self-improvement books donât cut it anymore. I get less joy, insights, or motivation from them. Nothing wrong with them, but I feel like I need more. I find myself diving deeper into spirituality and philosophy. Iâm asking myself deeper questions of purpose and identity. In the book, Mr Holiday (what a great name btw), talks about how real...
Bluff me if you can đ
Gâday Gâday friends, I love playing poker. My dad taught me to play the game when I was 12. By 14, I was playing with adults for real money. (much to my mumâs disapproval). Growing up, I wanted to be a professional poker player. I loved the strategy, thinking, and maths behind it. I was even mentored by a professional poker player at 16. He told me the real secret to succeeding at poker. Can you guess what it is? Storytelling. A successful bluff is nothing but a great fictional story you are...
the immigrant monie mindset đ§
Gâday Gâday friends, I grew up in working class immigrant household. We werenât poor. But money was a constant source of tension. My parents immigrated from Singapore to Australia when I was 3. They started off with nothing. Both my parents dropped out of school at 15. Limited job opportunities. Endured racism and discrimination. They did everything they could to survive. Iâm eternally grateful for the life they gave me and my brothers. But one of the challenges is the immigrant money...
Don't be afraid to live đ§Ź
Gâday Gâday friends, I just slept for over 12+ hours. Iâve been in Japan for the last 6 days. I was there to attend: Japanâs Young Entrepreneurâs Group. Global Resilience Summit in Tokyo. I connected with a global group of entrepreneurs. They were awesome. I met biz owners from countries like: Laos Japan Thailand Australia Myanmar Cambodia Singapore Here we all are on a boat in Tokyo: Being on a boat is more fun with friends (and Karaoke) But while exciting, it threw me off my routine. I...
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...
