Thanks for stopping by and welcome to Q3 2021. In this post I will be reflecting back on what has happened during Q2 2021 and plans for Q3. As usual I break this down into work, investment and personal life sections. Work Q2 overall was a great period for me on the work front. I made some big changes on my consulting side, and was able to get a big...
I can’t believe its April already. Here’s my usual quarterly update that rambles through the things I can remember from the previous 3 months of the year. As usual I have broken it down into work, investment, and personal life sections. Work life 2021 has kicked off pretty well on the professional front. Below are some key highlights from my perspective: Massive lead generation gains for I.R.B Law Visits and...
Since I’ve been struggling to find time to write monthly updates, I have decided to switch to quarterly instead. Since I’m lucky if more than 3 people read these, I tend to keep them for prosperity and tracking purposes. Work Life Lets start with FrameIT I guess After a bumper Q3 [relatively speaking any way], its fair to say that Q4 slowed down a bit, but it still provided a...
Its October, pretty unbelievable actually how fast the year has gone. I know it has been a pretty torrid one with COVID-19 and that ginger-haired muppet with his $700,000 hair causing a raucous every other day, but 2020 hasn’t been all bad. In my usual monthly round-up, I will give a quick summary of highlights through September. As usual, I touch upon work, investment, and life. Work-Life September has been...
Welcome to September, and thanks for stopping by. Below is a summary of what I got up to in August. Work-Life August has been a pretty busy month, launching 1 new website, and working on a lot of existing websites in terms of design updates, new development pieces etc. Below is some of the more notable achievements: Produced and *starred* (ha!) in a promotional video for Merlin Frame Maker I’ve...
Welcome to August, and thanks for stopping by. Below is a summary of what I and the family got up to during the months of June & July. Personal Life I usually touch upon this area last, but June brought about our long-awaited second child, as Robin Rush officially entered the world on 26th June 2020. That’s also why I am a month late on my June update. The ‘little...
Probably confused by the picture of a snail, but read on and I guess it will make more sense. May comprised the 2nd half of our 8-week lockdown in Singapore, and we started a phased re-opening from June 2nd. The re-opening is being handled rather strangely in my view, but as a non-voter, what does my opinion really matter. The good news is that some businesses, and life in general,...
“Death by PowerPoint” This is perhaps the quote most regularly associated with Microsoft PowerPoint, but I prefer the quote: “A bad worker always blames their tools’ Or to put it more bluntly – the dislike of PowerPoint usually stems from the fact that: You are bad at using it. The person/people using it to present to you – are bad at using it. You were made to sit through decks...
Some organisations, or perhaps just individual managers may frown upon the idea of their full time, salaried employees working on side projects outside of the office. For some, it might be hard to imagine a scenario where an employee doesn’t always feel fully satiated by everything that their existing role provides them, but for many – including myself, side projects have provided me with a constant learning and development opportunity,...
Welcome one and all to May. This is just the latest in my monthly articles that cover the prior month. I break things down by work, investment, and personal life. Work Life Lockdown in Singapore – extended to June 1st April has been a pretty sucky month, but needless to say – I am keeping everything in perspective. The Singapore government had announced wide-ranging lock-down measures, originally running through till...
