Last weekβs email was a bit heavy. I shared the harder side of running an online business. And I know many of you are feeling something similar in your own work. Feeling stuck, tired, like your time isnβt fully your own. So this week, I wanted to share the other side. Before that, here's a quick note from our sponsor today: Before I started blogging, I worked in a bank. And thereβs something I still remember clearly. I used to see corporate managers, many of them mothers, saying goodnight to their babies over FaceTime. From their desks. Late in the evening. Still at work. O_O Then battle traffic after a long day of work, too- how on earth did they do it?! And maybe your situation looks different. But the feeling might be similar. Being tied to a schedule. That stayed with me. Because I didnβt just want to earn money. I wanted more control over my time. Fast forward to today. I run an online business, specifically a blogging business. And itβs not perfect. But it gives me something I think a lot of people are actually looking for. Here are some real examples of how blogging has changed my life, and how it can change yours for the better. Hopefully, this can give you hope and inject some positivity in your day-to-day! (I love reading about happy stories; it makes me happy)

Most people think the hardest part of running an online business isβ¦ Getting traffic.Making sales.Figuring out the tech. But after running blogs for more than 8 years, Iβve realised something. Thatβs not the hardest part. The hardest part is something no one really talks about. Itβs the mental weight of it all. Youβre building something that doesnβt have a clear path. Thereβs no roadmap. No certification. No formal structure like traditional careers. No one is telling you,βDo this, then this,...
I've just completed an intensive 5-day training program to become a corporate trainer. I've always loved teaching my strategies in my personal workshops. However, more and more companies have asked me to share strategies tailored to corporate clients. There is also a government grant in Malaysia (where I am currently based), which covers corporate training for companies, but I need to be accredited Anyway, the training was awesome. But one HUGE thing stood out Most of the people there had...
For years, I had a very specific dream. I wanted to work remotely alongside my partner. Two laptops. Flexible schedules. The freedom to work from anywhere. So we planned for it. We saved money.I built the blog business so it could support two full salaries.And eventually, we were able to take a sabbatical together. Around that time, I became pregnant with our daughter. It felt like everything had aligned. My husband left his traditional job and joined me in working online. We moved from...
