You're not too old to start your dream business

Hello Reader, You need to hear this: You're not too old to start your dream business. I've been dreaming of being my own boss since my 20s. Between then and turning 50 this year, I've also
Now, for my second act, I'm ramping up my dreams of being my own boss. This had always taken the backseat as other more important priorities in life took centerstage. But I refuse to give up on this dream. Over the years, I never stopped learning and picking up skills (including money-making side gigs!) while doing what I needed to do to provide for our family, If you have a dream in your heart to build a business, no matter how late or old you think you are, take this as inspiration to start. Even if you don't end up making the millions of dollars you set out to, the journey will change you for the better as a person.

Then the bills started arriving and all the old stress and anxiety about money resurfaced, even though the money was there. It was more a timing issue. Some funds just hadn’t come in yet. But I felt it. That familiar tightness in my chest. The quiet panic I used to live with every day. I hadn’t felt it in a long...
What my weight taught me about money Last week I flew home from the UK just in time for my daughter's graduation. I'd spent two and a half weeks helping our son settle into university. Then I was back in Singapore, sitting in a school hall, watching my daughter cross the stage. At the graduation, we bumped into a teacher who had taught both my kids. My husband and I noticed straight away how well he looked. He'd been making changes to his eating for health reasons over the past year. We asked...
