Six months in review …

Okay so it’s been more than six months, but lots has transpired. Yes, I said “transpired“. Using the word “happened” feels insignificant at least.
So, we’re looking back and taking stock. What exactly has been filling my time? The new baby/business, the new-new business, new projects, new clients, new experiences.
I’ve officially decided to keep www.shanakay.com as [...]

Time for another “awesome” list

Yes, I’ve been flu bound for what feels like – oh, let me see, for”ever”. But, I will not let the sniffles, sneezes, sore nose, ears and throat, congestion like the freeway when it rains and there’s been an accident, or lack of sleep get me down. No, no way, not I.

Shiny penny or nitty gritty?

I’ve been told (many times) that I have “shiny penny” syndrome, evident in this very blog post since it has been inspired by the detail I was involved in. However, in addition to this, my magnifying eye for detail exists. This often leads me to send feedback for issues I have no involvement in, mainly [...]

The loneliness of being an entrepreneur, it’s not what you think…

I’ve heard it many times and been there a while ago, but the true meaning of this only hits home now. Going from a growing business with people, process and politics (not much), suddenly, there is no “office” to go to, no friends around during the day to catch up with (since they are working [...]

New hostpot – Cape Quarter, new and improved ..

Post last meeting for the day in Town, I could not be bothered to sit in traffic for an hour or two and decided to venture to the Waterfront. I make my way down Somerset Road and see that the new Cape Quarter is open and decide to pop in.
~WOW~
What started off as a stressed [...]

Financial management, fun, fun, fun or run, run, run..?

Most entrepreneurs will tell you that when they started their businesses, the financial side of the business was either left to a financial administrator, or completed begrudgingly. When I started taking a more active role in the financial aspect of our business, I disliked every minute of it and regularly had ’spirited debates’ with my [...]
