A friend of mine wants to get into an education consulting business. He has the tools and the content but has struggles to actually market himself and get the business. From my point of view, Sales are the blood of business, so I had put together for him a very simple guide on how an individual...
Over last few days I have been thinking quite a bit between what it means to be a Brander or Marketer.
For me, Brand is someone that can come up with a cool message for their product, give that product strong and unique identity. They differentiate their product from others through unique...
We had a great EO learning event today – one I enjoyed very much. The topic was on how to remain human when growing a business.

It has been a whirlwind day today. Lots of things on the go. Details of this day are in my private post, however some global observations I can share.

The morning, I had my first personal training session with Sunny. As planned, starting...
Today is being a catch-up post as well (writing this on the 7th). Lots of overhead activities, such as PO approvals, wires, etc. that chewed up a bunch of my time. Low value add. I keep thinking of how to further gain more time, and getting up earlier has been working...
