I can’t believe that two years ago today our pitch aired on Dragon’s Den (Canada’s Shark Tank.) Time flies when you’re an entrepreneur riding the rollercoaster of emotions that is startup life.

Ok that all makes sense, but what about this… If you’re an established professional (in my case a senior high tech product design engineer) and you’re starting your own company with a small investment and big ambitions… If you don’t put something as your current occupation and employer, then it will appear to all of your existing network that you’re…

1. We are glad to have you here today. Where did your nickname Damo come from?
Hi everyone, I’m happy being interviewed with Crypto Valley here. When it comes to the name “Damo”, the first thing that pops up from people mind is Bodhi-dharma. And…
OK. As a business owner myself, providing consultancy to enterprise clients and turning over 6 figures a year, I was super intrigued at this.
But now, on reflection, I cannot see anything genuine about this article.
There are no genuine metrics or KPIs. There is no evidence; screenshots, earning…

As some of you might remember, I am a massive fan of the hard-won wisdom in Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson’s excellent book “It doesn’t have to be crazy at work.” One of the key tenants in their philosophy is the deliberate lack of plans — an idea which we brought to radical and which…
This writeup is solely based on my experience with several businesses I’ve started and those I’ve helped manage mostly on a small scale and few at large scale. The following lessons are what I have learned that might be helpful to you as you pursue your…
Today I learned the employees of McKinsey apparently don’t care about McKinsey. They only care about their clients. They never try and upsell additional consultancies and they certainly don’t “walk the halls".
For those unaware, walking the halls is the consultancy practice of leaving an established department and dropping…

Let me tell you another thing about pies, Mr. Schools. I participate in a church fundraising auction every fall.
At our auction we routinely rake in $75.00 for a pie. Yes, that’s ONE pie, no matter what filling it has.
I provide cookies for buyers to bid on at this auction. The record price paid by…
Online entrepreneurs have an ace up their sleeve — they can work from anywhere in the world.
Wow! This was an interesting read, Nick.

Hitting milestone after milestone! It’s incredible to see the hustle and dedication the iHeart team has in growing the business, and improving lives through better understanding of internal health and biological age.
Good read David.
I agree. The advertising world is definitely changing so fast.
Hi Frances. Thanks for reaching me out. Regarding your question. Here is my answer. It’s about willingness to improve yourself every single day. It’s about developing good habits in yourself.
Most of us assume we’re good listeners.
How many of those who truly know us would actually agree?The reality is, most of us are NOT good listeners.
Valuable read, Steph. Keep up the good work!
I’ll admit, I’ve dropped the ball this week.
Hopefully, the previous briefings have given you enough inventory to start your outreach process. With 30+ firms posted, I’m confident that at the minimum, one firm will be…
Very entertaining read, Alma. I liked your style.
To be a successful entrepreneur you are going to have to learn to deal with failure.
So many people always saying follow your passion!!! I hear that a lot and I am not saying it’s wrong because when the road gets rough, that is what keeps you going. But let be realistic hear, passion won’t put food on your table or pay your bills but hard work and self-discipline to pursue your passion will do.
I respect that, and I’m sure everybody will Omar. Admitting that you have been lazy lately is not easy.
