REMEMBER WHAT YOU WANTED TO BE – Never sell yourself short. Whatever the circumstances, however low you may feel, recall your hopes and plans. Use them as your benchmark: reassess your position and aim high again. – Patrick Lindsay, Now Is The Time

The neighbors on Alderson Street were families with boys.  The only other [...]

Beaming Bohemian

On May 1, 2011 By

It is with terrific pleasure that I announce my new business venture, Beaming Bohemian. I have tinkered and toiled over the website design, the business plan and the lead list and am already booking clients.  As any business owner knows, it is hard work, but very much a labor of love. Now that I am [...]

New Adventures

On April 9, 2011 By

Since my return to San Diego, I’ve spent some time getting readjusted, some time relaxing and getting reacquainted with family and friends. I’ve also been looking to discover what it is I will do professionally.  While there is still part of me which wants to buy a one way ticket to Argentina, I’ve decided to [...]

Independence

On January 10, 2011 By

The weather has been so gorgeous this month, I have taken to doing some research from the front yard. With my iPad, iPhone and red notebook, I think this makes for a great office! …

At various stages in our lives, I do believe we all imagine going into business for ourselves.  We either don’t [...]

HSBC still sucks

On July 30, 2010 By

Today was a bit busy as I had a memorable meeting in the morning before running some errands to prepare for a business trip to Bangkok. I had to get some Thai Baht and so headed to my “favorite” bank, HSBC.

Because my company pays me in Dong and [...]

As we all know by now, I have a chance to travel from time to time and certainly have the need to visit our properties on a regular basis.  I was scheduled to go to Halong Bay this week to work on a book project for our boat.  I always enjoy the chance to be [...]

No love for HSBC

On May 6, 2010 By

I ranted on twitter today about my visit to HSBC.  And I feel like ranting here.  I hate the fact that I get paid in Vietnamese Dong.  This one fact has changed the entire way I have to bank and there is really no other reason behind it than it is less costly and more [...]

Office moving day

On April 10, 2010 By

Today was the chosen lucky day for our Emeraude Sales Office to move across town and into a fine location right on Hoan Kiem Lake.  I had a lunch appointment with a client today and so at 1:00pm, the lucky time for the movers to arrive, I was at the office to lend a hand [...]

At the office; Laos

On March 21, 2010 By

Here’s a vacation request you don’t get everyday…one I received from one of my employees in Laos:

This is Lao culture every son must become a monk for a short period to thanks parents whom gave our life. And I will be leaving from 23 Mar – 08 Apr 2010 for 15 days.

I love [...]
