My ROI is no longer 💵📈

My DIY Book Restoration journey: From MNC Leader to 165 books.

They say you can’t put a price on peace. After years in corporate leadership, I finally know what that means. In my corporate life, I managed people, navigated politics, and hit KPIs. It provided well, but the price was heavy: mental exhaustion. I was drained after every single day of work.

Today, I’m proud to share that I've just finished restoring Book no. 165. With no formal training, I started this journey in August 2025 with zero experience—just a few YouTube videos, Xiao Hong Shu guides, and a kind teacher online who was generous enough to call and advise me.

God provided sufficient old Bibles and hymnals as my "practice ground" to make mistakes, and He provided a job to fund this mission.

Seeing a Pastors' smile 😀 and hearing a sincere "thank you" for the hours I’ve poured into a restoration gives me a level of satisfaction no MNC title ever could.

The Reality: Today, I earn only a fraction of my old salary. The Truth: My happiness is at the highest level of my life.

Restoring the Word has restored me. 🙏#Lemon8Scrapbook #MyFreeTime #godisgood #restorationproject #AdultingWoes

Why Relying on One Income Is No Longer Enough

Depending on just one source of income is something many people don’t question until life changes. Because life doesn’t stay the same. Unexpected things happen. Costs slowly go up. And responsibilities only grow with time. What feels “stable” today might not feel the same tomorrow. Th

Options are no longer Optional!

The biggest mindset shift from starting my digital business? Realising security and stability are not the same thing. I used to believe that having a stable job meant my future was secure. Work hard. Earn a salary. Repeat. But the world today is very different. Jobs are less predictable.
