We'll start the 6-week program weekly on 23 October 2024 at 8.30PM Singapore time. See you then. Sharon |

Last night, I finally dropped $3k on a program I've been thinking about doing for the past 2 years. Each time I had wanted to do it, it felt like too much money - money I didn't have. This time, it isn't that I have the money - of course...
Hi Reader, I ended up the breadwinner, and started a business on the side of my job out of necessity.
