Running and systemising a small business, building software, options, calling out the guru industry, and how I use Bazi and Human Design in practice. No sponsored content. No affiliate links.
Customer says paid already, sends a screenshot, and now you're squinting at it trying to match the amount to the order. I got tired of chasing PayNow screenshots so I built the fix into SME AI Office. Zero fees, and it's not a workaround.
Everyone says 2-room BTO cannot make money and is hard to sell. I live in Punggol, so I pulled the actual resale numbers. Per person, 2-room can out-profit a 5-room, and it sells faster than every other flat type in town.
Meta is closing the free reply window on WhatsApp Business API from 1 October 2026. I ran the numbers for a business sending 50 replies a day, and the increase does not change my mind about automation.
One of my custom software clients just got his EDG grant approved. I broke down what a $10k project actually costs him once you stack in SFEC properly, and it is a lot less than most business owners think.
Ever wonder why washing your car feels more satisfying than actually growing your business. I dug into why, then applied it to my own SaaS, 4 customers, $188 SGD MRR, still figuring out if I hit $1k by December.
Everyone says grow your net worth. Nobody says measure your actual spending, then stop fighting for money you don't need. I built tools to do exactly that. Sold my Tesla 3 for a Nio Firefly. Here's what changed.
A Shopify CSV import mistake wiped all my inventory counts. Shopify support could not restore it. Here is how I turned a stressful ops mistake into the cleanest stock take I have ever done for Vivre.
A 30-year-old Singapore fashion company lost $300k SGD to a business email compromise scam. The hacker was already inside their system. I break down exactly how it happened, and share a near-miss from my own business that turned out to be completely legit.
Ninja Van raised over a billion dollars, scaled across six countries, and built real logistics infrastructure. Now it is bleeding volume, cutting headcount, and losing sellers to a competitor it cannot out-price. I was a Ninja Van customer for over a decade. Here is what actually happened.
Everyone romanticises robotics and big automation. A course I took changed how I think about ROI. Then I built something small in under an hour that actually saved me real time.
I've been watching trading gurus, ecommerce experts, and financial educators in Singapore since 2013. Some are fake. Some are real but you are literally funding their next big risk. Here is my personal collection of guru-busting moments from the past 13 years.
I used to call it luck. But looking back at the warehouse, the Bugis shop, Wisma Atria, VivoCity, and our BTO — there is a pattern. Dream specific. Say it out loud. Do the one thing that puts you in position. Then let luck find you.
Everyone says adapt to AI or get left behind. But what does adapting actually look like for a real SME owner? I tried it early, hated it, came back, and ended up building a SaaS product. Here is what I learned and what is actually possible for your business.
Sylvia started Vivre Activewear with $10,000 and a gap in the market. We scaled it to over $2M in annual revenue, ran stores across Singapore for a decade, and closed every single one on our own terms. Here is how we saw the end before it arrived.
Most people show you the gross premium number and stop there. I'll show you mine, $302k net over 5.5 months, and then explain exactly what that number doesn't include. The full picture is always more complicated.
I built kevinchia.sg in a day with a full gaming theme. Not because it looked cool. Because life is actually a game and this site is the most honest way I know how to show that.
A young entrepreneur kept ending up carrying his business partners. His Bazi chart explained exactly why — and when that will change.
A single misread chart shaped two decades of decisions. How wrong advice followed since childhood, and how the correction arrived through a zodiac forecast and a gut feeling.
The script said study hard, get a degree, get a stable job. You followed it. So why does it still feel like something is off? This is not a motivation problem. It is a design problem.
Using ChatGPT for Human Design but getting generic answers? The chart data going in is the problem. Here is what is actually happening and how to fix it.
You ticked all the boxes. Good results, stable job, the flat, the car. But every evening you collapse feeling empty. If you are a Human Design Generator, that is not burnout. It is your Sacral center telling you that you are doing the wrong work.
