I won’t go into all the glory details why I made the decision to close my office, but we could put it down to 2 main reasons: cash-flow, poor internet speeds and needing a break away from the monitor.
Closing the office will allow me to re-charge my batteries, save up some money to pump into FeedZa and to test how myself and my team work remotely before making the final decision whether or not I will open up an office in Singapore (where the internet infrastructure is miles ahead of Thailand).
Since November last year, I’ve worked hundreds of thousands of hours and as a result, I’m in need of a much needed break. It’s been a fun year, but I’ve started to become ill due to too much pressure and work. My blood pressure is sky high, I get stressed over next to nothing, I’m constantly getting headaches and I’ve put on shit loads of weight. The lifestyle I’m living right now is not healthy, so hopefully I can get back to my old self very soon!
I have office equipment such as desks/meeting tables and PC’s for sale so if anyone in Bangkok is interested, please feel free to contact me.
I’ll still be working flat out until the end of the year… but from the comfort of my boxer-shorts :) Closing the office will not slow down the developments of my sites, the plan is to speed things up if anything!
I’m really excited to announce that we are launching lot’s of new features on FeedZa this week along with a new project I’ve been working on – watch this space for more info!
If you don’t mind, I’m going to get back dreaming about a sun kissed beach with a pina colada :)









Its a shame I’m in Phuket as were about to open a new office down here and I could have taken some of it off your hands.
This is already the second office that you close, right? You probably spend a lot of money opening and closing like that, no?
Yes, 2nd time. Hopefully 3rd time lucky.
Good luck with all the changes ahead!
Hey Chris,
I’m actually looking for desks/meeting tables and maybe PC’s.
Can you get back to me with details?
Thanks
Good choice. I did the same several years ago.
At first I started working at home while the rest of the company had to physically show up.
Two years went by. I dropped in. The staff didn’t even know who I was. They knew me via email. Just not in person.
Then later I got away from the company totally. Bye bye.
It was better. But not quite there yet as far as stress goes.
Now I’ve gone further. I got rid of the clients too.
I’m now closer to perfection.
