How To Make Money?

Cad asked me this question two days ago while we were waiting for our salsa class to start. Now, this might seem like a pretty normal question but it did strike me in a certain way. I got to thinking, yeah exactly how it is to make money. And I'm not talking about the usual $2000 - $3000 salaries. No, I'm talking about how to make MONEY.

I guess that is the million-dollar question these days isn't it. Everybody wants a piece of the millionaire pie. There are tons of books out there teaching ordinary folks like you and me how to systematically, step-by-step make a million bucks or two. Yet, how often do we actually read (let alone complete reading) the books and do all the steps recommended? And if we do, can we be sure of the results?

Well, I can only speak for myself here. I've read a couple of these financial books and while I haven't made my first million (actually I'm pretty far away from the first million), I dare say that these books have elevated my financial knowledge. So in a way, there are definately benefits to reading those books. Besides a boost in knowledge, they have also helped open my eyes to many different ways money can be generated and what are the new ways to make money on this modern age. Trust me when I say it is very from the traditional way of getting a job and working hard.

So how does this post relate to the question right at the top? Well, why don't you pick up that finance book you've been browsing through for the longest time and actually spend the time to read it. Knowledge never comes without the investment of time (and maybe money). Just think about your education. No one has ever managed to score well on the exams just through sheer luck. The same goes for this. Spend the time reading and accumulating knowledge. I have never met anyone who felt like they've wasted their time learning something new.

Valentine's Day!

Hi everyone!

It's been such a looong time since my last post. I don't wana make any excuses or reasons so I'm just gonna go straight out - I've been lazy. Haha.. Lots of things have happened since my last post. For one, I did not managed to attend the Union Camp. Instead I join SDE Rag! The Union Camp was just too much of a rush for me and I couldn't find the time to squeeze in assignments, exams, tests, Union Camp and Rag (all within 2 weeks!) so one of them had to go. Well, no regrets joining Rag definately. Now the second semester of school has just started, modules and timetable are different but the people are still the same. And that's a good thing. It looks like it's gonna be a pretty busy semester for me. Lots of fund-raising activities coming up, bashes to attend, meetings to hold, fun to be had, and not forgetting the studying.

Anyway, Valentine's Day is just around the corner! Guys, this day have loomed dreadfully over the horizon ever since the ball dropped at Times Square signalling the start of 2008. Images of desperate guys sprinting to money-grubbing florists to shell out their hard-earned dough with tears in their eyes and holes in their pockets comes to mind. But dread not! With a little bit of advanced planning and with my help, you'll be able to save your breath, your tears and your dough (well, some of it at least) all at the same time!

This year, I've partnered with a couple of friends to sell hand bouquets for Valentine's Day. My partners have prior working experience at wrapping hand bouquets at a popular florist so the quality of the bouquets are guaranteed to be good. This is an example of what the bouquets will look like:



Our pricing is also a lot more affordable than other florists. This is because we hold firm in our belief that people should not have to pay so much to enjoy a romantic Valentine's Day with their loved ones. Here's our price list:

3 Stalk Bouquet - S$40.00
6 Stalk Bouquet - S$50.00
9 Stalk Bouquet - S$60.00
12 Stalk Bouquet - S$70.00

Self-collection is free. We also do delivery at a flat rate of S$10.00 per location. The prices are really affordable compared to the market rate for Valentine's Day. So do drop me a msg or an email if you want the bouquets!
