I want to apologize for the lack of new developments…

If you have been to my blog and read my blog posts on doing business, you should know that I support keeping your day job and running a part time business. It’s indeed having your cake and getting to eat it.

You enjoy the best of both worlds – the stability of income, the flexibility of taking off any time (from your day job)… but yet also the opportunity to explore your interest further and not to mention the extra income (from your part time job).

Yup! Indeed it’s wonderful!

However, lately I have been hit by a double whammy.

Due to the excellent work of many greedy bankers, circumstances beyond control forces many companies to take drastic measures just to survive. My day job company too. A number of my colleagues got retrenched and those left behind had to shoulder the extra responsibility. On top of that, pay cuts were instituted too.

What this means is…

I now have less time as I work more on my day job.

I now have less income as my day job has a pay cut and I have less time to work on my part time job..

Yes! A double whammy!

You would have thought that having a part time job would be perfect for times like this. Well, it’s a safety net should you receive the dreaded pink slip but I didn’t expect I would not get the chance to supplement my day job loss in income via my part time job.

And the loss of personal time!

Thus I apologize if you see lack of activity on my site. Life just has been more hectic these days, but for less.

Dang… I should have been a banker!
