Business Update
I posted this video this week breaking down my learning lessons from my pivot 3 hard truths I just learned from my first failed business (solo founder)
This week I got a solid list of new leads and started engaging leaving comments. Someone from YouTube expressed interest in my software and I sent them a loom explaining my new offer.
I spent most of the week diving into analyzing with an outcome-driven frame. Then started working with one creator, diving into his channel and niche, and found some good insights so far. It took longer than I wanted and I’m not done yet, but I have a good thread to pull on. Definitely been battling perfectionism and analysis paralysis.

Snaps From The Week
My First Fun Activity!
I came across this Padel Club in Berjaya Times Square (PadelKu). I’ve heard about padel and heard that it’s popular in SE Asia with the digital nomad type of crowd, but that’s about it.
I’ve been looking forward to trying it out for the mixture between a fun activity and socializing. So I decided this would be a good opportunity to give it a go! I signed up for a basic 101 class – he went over the rules, we did some practice exercises, then had a little match at the end.
It was fun! I would totally sign up for another class and can see myself getting into it.
It was also fun to actually do something other than just walk around malls 😂😂
Thoughts From The Week
The art of boredom
202503091143 The art of boredom
#boredom
I've been thinking about this more lately...
I think the past two weeks have been characterized by this new mindset, "the art of boredom."
My life has gone through these phases, looking forward to a change, going somewhere new, traveling to a new place or city, then slowing down and settling in.
Last time I was in Kuala Lumpur, I was here for 2 months, but I rotated places every 1-2 weeks, trying out different areas and looking for the best spot.
This time I just stuck to one and kept extending (it's about to be 3 weeks).
There's been a little bit of underlying... tension? discomfort? like a "what's next?" feeling.
That feeling of... "I went to SALA yesterday... and the day before... isn't there somewhere else I can go to?"
The past two weeks I've gone to the gym 5 times each week. That's the most I've done in years.
There's that thought that comes up... "again? I just went yesterday"
But I go anyway.
I realized that changing things up, going to a new city/country, adding more novelty isn't really what I need at this particular moment right now.
There seems to be an art to this.
... an art to going back to the same places,
... doing the same thing every day,
... continuing to just show up, make incremental progress, and push through that desire for something different.
_... that desire for something different._
... that desire for something different.
I’ll just let it hang there.
Opportunities are to be had when life is cloudy
This week has felt very much like diving back into the deep end.
Everything is foggy and cloudy.
The path isn’t clear.
But it reminded me of this note that I wrote now just over 4 years ago.
202012152115 Opportunities are to be had when life is cloudy
#opportunity #discomfort
I feel as though when life is foggy, or your vision is cloudy and it's hard to determine where to go or what to do, that's when there is a rich amount of opportunity. There are those that recede from the fogginess and go home and those that explore into it. Be the person that explores into the fog.
Why?
You have the potential for much higher rewards for the increased uncertainty. Sure, you can recede into comfort and mediocrity, but if you want more rewards, you'll have to deal with the uncertainty.
If you want greatness and taking advantage of opportunities, it's just going to be difficult and uncomfortable. [[202012132114 Living to your potential should not be comfortable]].
