Bold Leaps - SME biz owners resource

Bold Leaps is a magazine that is published by a friend of mine, and insofar, has been trying very hard to get this magazine into places, getting recognition for it as The Publication that is read widely by the SMEs in Singapore. I think that Bold Leaps - after being launched at the start of this year - has reached a milestone. Its nearing its 1st year anniversary and it is still around. Not that I had expected them to disappear, but starting a magazine in Singapore where the market is dominated by gargantuan publishers like SPH and Mediacorp, it makes creating a decent, useful magazine that SMEs can identify with - is not easy.

The name of the magazine is it is aptly called - Bold Leaps really required a bold leap of faith to keep it going. Running my own SME, I know the insurmountable tasks when trying to create something virtually out of nothing.

In the next 5 years to come, I am certain that with the current momentum that Bold Leaps has, and the strong collaborative alliances it has with the various strategic partners I believe that Bold Leaps will be able to leap from one milestone to the next.

If you would like to take a look at this magazine - its available at all leading bookstores, including Kinokuniya.

its a hard days work - well worth it

I have been griping about the state of my corporate website for Ozone barter, and my biz partner had gone to NTU to give a talk at Nanyang Technopreneur Centre, I think probably on our obviously favourite topic of Barter Trade.

What does this have to do with my corporate website?

Luckily for all of us, I had at the final 11th hour changed it to make it look a tad bit more chio that how it used to be - now it's got a little bit more vibrancy that it used to have. But I'm still not exactly happy with it. I'm pretty much never happy with many things, that's the worst part of being a perfectionist, but the realist also sometimes do balance things out understanding the opportunity cost of time.

Apparently, the new students and some of the students attending the talk had visited our website or were visiting our website at the point when my partner was walking into the room. And since our website had all our POT SHOTS!! They obviously knew who was who.

But seriously, the status of our website has never been so critical as it is now. Our website can no longer be late with updates by even a week - especially with the new things going on at Ozone. It's no slacking now... **Sigh**
