People ask me a lot about how I get to squeeze out so much from each single day and I'm constantly having something interesting to do. In short, how do I motivate myself to do so much? First, I think part of it is genetic for me. We are workaholics in my family -- my dad, my mum and my siblings. I guess even if you had me locked up in an empty room I would still manage to get extremely ...
I am already building the back-end of my stocks analysis web application. I have deployed an SQL server and database in the cloud (Microsoft Azure cloud) to store daily records of each NSE listed company's closing price, traded volume, market capitalization, shares outstanding, last dividend, dividend yield, price to earning ratio, earning per share, return on investment ...

image: doaikido.com The most helpful lesson I have learned in my short period of being a full-time entrepreneur is that it pays to be bold. If you don't like your job. Quit it. If you want something. Go for it. If you have a dream. Build it. If you have an idea. Implement it. In 2013, I had read too many books on entrepreneurship and the future with technology. I became unhappy ...
This second half of the year is starting more as a learning period for me. I have turbo driven my C# and web app development learning. I am currently learning and practicing Python for automating tasks and as Django for web app development. image: techstricks.com I have also been refreshing my knowledge of HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. I am gearing all my learning towards application. ...
Usually, the thing that knocks us the hardest are not the very things we expect and prepare for. It's like fighting and beating a Goliath only to become the Goliath to something else much much smaller. You beat your own giants and get thoroughly beaten by something much much smaller. I am currently experiencing this. I have managed to overcome my toughest challenges but getting overwhelmed ...
This is the second post in the Financial Modelling series. In the previous post, I talked about Accounting Equation, Journal, T-Account, Ledger And Trial Balance.

Well, doesn't ...

With Macros you can automate the report making steps so that every time you need to make the report, you simple provide the new input data, run the Macro and you'll have in seconds ...
I have been having some trouble accessing my documents in my previous laptop hard disk which I swapped out on Monday in favour of the much faster Solid State Drive. Windows would not let me access the files or even copy them out, it keeps giving an access is denied error due to file permission security settings from my previous Windows OS. I have tried to regain permission, changed ownership, ...
So I have decided not to buy the Toshiba Satellite S55T C5327 but to give a new life to my current (work) laptop, Samsung Activ Book. Yesterday, I bought an 800GB SSD (solid state drive), an extra battery, an extra charger and a shiny new front casing. Now it boots in seconds. 5 seconds when we installed Windows 8.1. Then about 13 seconds when I installed Windows 10 and my work software. Everything ...
Welcome to my blog post series on financial modelling. Nearly every month I get requests about teaching financial modelling. It is a very interesting field but some of the people who teach it do it in ways too abstract for anyone to make any value of. They start from the middle, expecting the participants to already know the basics, and then proceed to use non-Nigeria relevant examples. ...
image: minimalisti.com For those of us who, while growing up, read Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice and L'Avare (The Miser) by Moliere, you will have grown up with the mentality that being frugal is very bad. You will have the word "miser" and "stingy" in your working vocabulary. Well, today, I am going to give you a shocker. Being fugal is now cool. In fact, it has become a movement ...
