Had a catch-up with a friend who is also asking questions about their career and their life. We all do this at many points through our life. Doubts that make us stop and reset. Asking, what is next for me professionally and where will life take me?… all of that and more. Big questions sometimes…
Month: January 2021
Selling loyalty poorly…
In China selling loyalty is a big thing. Company’s will try and get you to sign up to a loyalty card or an app and will offer you a great deal to drop in some money right away. I don’t mind this, I get it. It is all ‘fair in love and war’ when it…
Getting to first base on FIRE!
Do this. Understand what your net worth is. It means that you will have to sit down with some paper and a pen, a calculator or even a spreadsheet or better still, some app that can help you to calculate it. But do this. Regardless of whatever tool you use to calculate this figure, which…
Echo Chambers…!!
I just don’t know. It’s all a bit surreal, like a Hollywood movie or something from the darkest of spy thrillers. 8th January 2021 and it is already a year to remember/forget. Who knows. We have all had the days were we say, ‘wow, this is us really living through history’. Or something like that….
Humans confuse me…
Have you seen Wonder Woman 84? I went to see it and it was bearable. There is a central message that I liked, but it is a movie that was a bit of a car crash and reminded me of the old Batman movies of the pre Nolan era. Cartoonish and all a bit too…

The 1 thing to get early in life is…
The magic that is compound interest! I have a few regrets, I also believe most people do regret something…. Don’t kid yourself on this. There is a regret that I have and it is the regret of not grabbing the concept of compound interest until my later days. If only I knew then what I…
The greatest of tricks!!
I went to buy a warmer jacket yesterday. For the record, the weather in Beijing is -13 degrees and on the ‘what does it feel like scale’ it is -22 degrees. It is F***ing cold. A cold that you don’t experience too often and a cold that I am not used to, even though I…
My son, Tom Cruise.
My Son’s adventures some times make me shirk, sometimes they shock and sometimes they just make me laugh out loud. I am always glad that he does feel comfortable to share them with me, for the most part.! He is like any other 17 year old. Useful, inventive, curious and during this lockdown he, like…
I can’t keep this going forever!
You know you can. The phrase ‘I can’t keep this going forever!’ was the heading to an email sent to me from one of the sales funnels I have found myself in. I am not complaining, I am somewhat laughing to be honest. I like being in the sales funnels because I am not in…
It’s a New Year and not a New You!
Don’t fall into the trap of this year being the beginning of something special just because it is a new year. The days will become the same very quickly. There will be no immediate change in all what is wrong with the world and nothing immediately new about all that is great. It is just…
