Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

TerenceChang_LakeTahoe

Last year on December 7th 2009, I decided to focus on my next move and prepare for the best in 2010. Branding is one of the main goal for 2010. You can read my post about my Next Move – Consulting – Branding – Marketing – Outsourcing – Investing.

I have been asked by some new friends and potential business partners to provide them my newest bio. It got me thinking redesign this blog and to offer better personal brand, which is important to me and my business.

To be honest, I have been struggling for years on where this blog will go. I did make money off this blog, but it makes this blog looks like other affiliate marketer blog. I am not saying affiliate marketing blog is no good. I am saying it is not what I do. It doesn’t really represent me well.

I am re-branding myself for the better future for people who look up me as role model. From the technology stand point, there are some challenges when making big changes like this.

New Year with new achievement

Sunday, January 3rd, 2010

Cannot believe it’s already January 3rd 2010. While everyone is wishing for a great and successful year, I am already getting some great results in the first 3 days. It’s a great achievement for the new year.

On the business side, one of my site is breaking the daily Google AdSense revenue record. Well. There is nothing to be proud of, since it’s still not a huge amount of the passive income. However, it’s definitely a good sign that I am constantly making good progress.

New year means a new achievement to me. It’s not just for business, it’s also for personal matters. There were things that I hope to achieve in the early 2009. Now many of them are checked and are removed from my wish list.

Weekend Confession – Plenty of opportunities

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

In the past few days, there are few very exciting news to me. First of all, I am a big fan of Yelp.com, which is the number 1 local business review site. Recent news shows Google is thinking to acquire Yelp.com for $500 million dollars. Google is on their way to become the #1 source of everything local.

The second thing that excites me is the success of Groupon, which is very success in less than a year. Groupon is a web site that offer great daily deals in many cities. It’s all about group buying power locally.

So what does those news mean to me? What am I so exciting about?

Weekend Confession – Life is good and journey continues

It’s been a while since my last post on this blog. In the past months, I have been working very hard on the project. It’s been a great learning experience in my life. Some stuff works, and some don’t.

I have lost some confidence on some project I am working and also gain on other projects. Only time will tell if I made good or wrong decision.

Weekend Confession – Be honest and don’t be too naive!

Sunday, August 23rd, 2009

Can’t believe time goes by so fast. It’s about time to confess again. My weekend confession becomes my only motivation to post on this blog. I don’t really have motivation to post technology stuff on this blog any more. It’s my little place to get something out of my chest, so I can move on to next step.

In the past week, I got a lot of things done. Most importantly, I have moved forward on my project. I am so glad that wife will come home next week after a month family trip to Hong Kong. I am kind of missing her. I am also glad that I was able to control myself to work even harder in the past week.

My entrepreneur journey has been rough. It’s not easy for me to jump into the business and marketing circle from the logical IT industry without any frustration and disappointments.
