Mid life crisis has called, and it's time for me to try bouldering. (Jk not jk, but need to restart a fitness regime after being away for a year for medical reasons and recovery.)

Any advice on where to begin? Should I take a beginners class?

Or do I randomly sign up for a session and then ask for help? How does it work?

Read that I need special shoes too? Total newbie here. Tried to get help from ChatGPT but thought maybe asking those familiar with this activity can help me not to be a burden to others at the bouldering gym.

Thanks for your help!!

Lifting of cooling measures
Interest rate hike

Wow thanks!

Too much high level theory stuff?

Hey all I came across their ad and videos recently to help with setting up Ecommerce business. I’m a beginner and wondering if they truly are able to help me with my business.

Anyone have worked with them before and able to provide reviews or feedback?

Please no hater comments as a viewer or if you don’t like their videos that’s not the point. Asking those who have been a student or coachee of theirs.

We are talking things like

Easy 1 click for meeting notes - be it virtual meeting (easy with fathom, granola) or in person meeting (pocket or plaud) or even in person name card exchange, or phone calls (pocket / plaud as well?)

Where they file into a calendar somewhere maybe, with recorded conversations, and summarized notes, also filing notes about who was met (can never remember conversations)

Something along those lines!?

Was it worth it? Couldn’t make it for Day 1

The event seems kind of random, like no theme, just a random gathering of businesses in Singapore lol

Serious question, had a business associate not honor a business contract, and owes us $30K. Going through legal might be tedious and expensive, sadly.

I've talked to a debt collector before, who's gonna take $2K + 30% of the amount claimed, based on success. Ouch.

Anyone been through this route before? Did it work? Anything to look out for?

Anyone to recommend if it's good?

Hey so as part of my work, I need to reach out to thousands of vendors, and find out if they are suitable and interested to be part of our network to offer their service to our leads.

Ideally the AI agent can even be charming and build a warm relationship with the potential partners. That's honestly the most exhausting part to do the intro over and over, explain same thing over and over.

I used to do this super manually, it's just not scalable, and I don't want to do it all over again. Hiring and training would take a while too. I think there needs to be a better way to automate this.

Anyone has done anything similar?

Hey are you an automation expert or agency serving businesses in Singapore?

Would love to have a chat to collaborate.

Hey, looking to partner up with the right experts and teams to fulfil projects for small businesses. So the usual stuffs like setting up an agent for them, automating manual procedures.

Show me what you’ve got! With projects and demos - and let me know what those would cost?

Most of our projects will be capped at around $3-8k usd budget, FYI.

I’ve been recommended a few (by Reddit algorithm) and it’s quite disappointing to see the quality of posts and comments.

For me, singaporeraw (or something) has always been most toxic but I’ve totally zoned out. And singaporejobs has been the latest sad sub - it’s like not pure toxin like the raw sub, but a group of people who seem like they are trying, but they’re just keep missing the point 🫠

Have my own calculations ($2m inc property) but wanted to see what other Singaporeans work with and I’m being reasonable or too cautious…

I think hardest part is predicting expenditure so the posts where people did their breakdown is super helpful. If there are more people in 30s and maybe early 40s willing to share their number and breakdown and maybe their family/life status, that’d be great!

Thank you in advance.

**new account as my main account is for my hobby and quite identifiable!

Edit/update: Was asked to provide my own numbers (which I did in the comments but let me put here for easier viewing)

Intended FIRE number: $2m (85% there)
* $500k going to a HDB
* $1.5m invested somehow to generate income
(That generates $4.4K a month, assuming 3.5% SWR)

Seems like going up and having a bit more buffer would be good

I’m 37M. I hope/plan to get married and have kid/s, so depending on spouse, I may have to bump the number up by a bit…

Edit2: My biggest “aha!” takeaway from the sharing so far is that if I were to find an equal partner (at least) then a lot of the heavy lifting is done here, lol.
Not sure why I never thought of this… 🫣
