If money wasn’t an issue, what kind of business would you start just for the joy of it? Something that doesn’t stress you out or drain your soul...maybe something meaningful, creative, or chill. I keep asking myself this question lately because I realise so many people are stuck doing things just to survive. But if survival isn’t the goal, what would we actually want to do? Curious to hear what you'd choose if money didn’t matter

Everyone’s talking about ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing like it’s the future of finance. But I’m wondering if is this really a long-term shift, or just another buzzword? My firm has started pushing ESG-focused portfolios, and clients are buying in, but some colleagues think it’s more about marketing than actual impact. How ah? Have any of you seen a real shift in the way businesses and investors approach sustainability, or is it just a feel-good PR move?

I keep hearing about AI transforming the business world, but honestly, I’m not sure where to begin. For small or medium businesses, how can AI be practically applied to improve operations, marketing, or customer service? Are there specific AI tools or strategies that actually work and aren’t just hype? If you have real experience using AI to boost business growth or efficiency, please share your tips or examples! Would love to learn how to start leveraging AI the right way.

I’ve been working in finance for a lil over 7 years now and honestly… I’m thinking of quitting. The stress, the long hours, the constant rush, it’s starting to take a toll. maybe some of u will say I'm too soft, but I still want a stable career, just maybe something less intense? For those who left finance, what path did you switch to? Was it worth it? I’m open to ideas, just don’t want to feel this burnt out all the time. Salary-wise, i'm willing to downgrade.

I’ve started investing since last year...nothing big, just small amounts here and there. But now I want to take it more seriously and build a proper portfolio. The problem is… I’m always stuck. So many opinions like buy during dips, diversify, hold long-term, follow the market, don’t follow the market... I read up, but still feel lost. Especially in SG where the market is different from the US. Got any tips on how you personally decide which stocks to buy? Not theory, but real experience pls.

I’ve been running my small business for a few years. Nothing fancy, but it pays the bills and gives me freedom. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about growth. I want to upgrade, maybe open another outlet or improve operations, but I honestly don’t know what’s the smartest move. Should I focus on digital marketing? Hire staff? Get funding? SG’s market not easy, and I don’t want to mess up what I’ve already built. Business owners who’ve done it, how did you take your biz to the next level?

I see all these finance bros talking about investments, ETFs, and property like it’s so easy. Meanwhile, I’m here just trying to stretch my salary till the end of the month. I want to start investing, but everything feels overwhelming—so many options, so much jargon. If you started with zero knowledge, what’s the best way to begin without making dumb mistakes?

SG’s business scene is brutal—rental costs, government regulations, and crazy competition. Even if you hustle 24/7, it’s no guarantee of success. I know people who went all-in, but after a year, had to close shop. 💀 If you’re running a business in SG, how do you actually make it work? What’s the hardest part people don’t see? And with rising costs, is it even worth starting a business now, or better to just stay employed?

I’ve always been curious about business owners who juggle multiple ventures. How do they find the time and balance everything? I’ve got a few side projects myself, and sometimes I struggle just managing ONE! I always find it so inspiring when I see someone running multiple businesses smoothly. I truly think it’s all about time management and delegation, having the right team and setting clear priorities. Anyone here balancing more than one business? How do you do it?
