First – huge respect for working parents juggling their work around looking after a baby. As a recent first-time father, my whole world as an entrepreneur changed. Work became challenging, not because there wasn’t enough time, but because I can’t sit at the desk for a long time anymore. Whether you’re writing copy, building products,… Continue reading
Here’s a popular story: A young elephant was tied to a small stake in the ground. As a baby elephant, it is unable to lift the stake up. Eventually, the elephant learns that and stops trying. Soon, the elephant becomes an adult and gains enough strength to lift the stake. But it remains tied up… Continue reading
That it’s nothing to brag about. And anyone can do it. Even you. In mid-2021, my father-in-law asked me if I’d like to join a 100KM run challenge. Not in one go. But to complete 100KM in a month. That breaks down to 3.4KM per day. Sounds doable, so I joined. I’m an okay runner…. Continue reading

Someone close to him contracted COVID-19, and her PCR test returned a high CT value. The group returned a few answers. And then just… Continue reading

That they stand above regular people. But look closer and you’ll see that influencers are well, regular people. They are definitely no smarter than you. Influencers are not… Continue reading
I usually get emails from prospects asking if joining a course will help them get a job. What a question. Like asking if buying a pair of shoes will make me runner – no. A tweet by Naval makes a good reminder: Doctors won’t make you healthy. Fitness coaches won’t make you fit. Gurus won’t… Continue reading
How many courses have you bought from Udemy, still sit there – untouched from years ago? In just the past 12 months, I’ve bought many courses.

Trust grows as the rate of a coconut tree, and falls with the speed of a coconut. We want people to trust us. But how do we get people to trust us? “You’ll like the food, trust me!” Only that trust is not built by shouting the statement. A friend visited me in KL. “Where… Continue reading
