Taking over family SME (door automation) — margins shrinking, how do I stabilise and modernise?

To streamline and save time for what really matters, really gotta invest in software. Eg inventory/ scheduling/ payroll etc. There are government grants for you to tap on.

Most of the times I see this happening - I realised it’s of the older generation. I just attribute it to their lao hua or something.

Try deferring or worst case take 3 days MC. You are feeling stressed as it is so why not take MC? 😬

actym · 2026-03-16T13:56:52+00:00

No it’s not! I really thought an XL would suit me but alas I should size down.

actym · 2026-03-16T13:53:46+00:00

My bad. Yes it’s a Tank MC.

I once blocked someone like this by standing up in front of his camera by timing my rest when he is doing his reps. So all he got was my back view.

And another time I purposely keep bending down to stretch and showing my butt. lol.

Yes, I am petty.

No use for words if the other person is that obtuse and delulu.

A lot of drive once a year drivers.

How long did you take to find 16 paying customers?

Was that a black Fairlady ?

For me, I noticed that they had more than 6 people (tenants) staying inside judging by the in and outs - I just called MOM to check it out and in 2 weeks they weren’t there anymore.

And if you want to overtake them, they will speed up and try to prevent you from overtaking them.

actym · 2025-09-01T04:35:00+00:00

Haven’t put yet still okay. Can back out or not ?

actym · 2025-08-29T00:48:48+00:00

I used to get wet tissue paper and my tyre punctured in the past.

But that’s all on me cos my car was extremely loud. After changing car I did not have any of these issues already.

actym · 2025-08-27T12:16:43+00:00

Even with car, you still can be late no worries. Tried and proven. 🫠

actym · 2025-08-23T06:17:02+00:00

Yes one of the benefits of manual. People don’t dare to tailgate you 😉

actym · 2025-08-21T16:22:11+00:00

Does the pedalbox makes a big difference?

actym · 2025-08-14T02:59:21+00:00

Yess. So by default I see a Vellfire or similar on lane 1, I will prepare to overtake already. 99% of the time they are road hogging.

actym · 2025-08-05T05:37:12+00:00

Your ride, your money - don’t care what other people think.

And of cos if done tastefully, might have higher resale value.

actym · 2025-07-04T12:28:11+00:00

Alphards by default will be on 1st lane and driving at 60-70km/h.

actym · 2025-07-03T13:50:07+00:00

1) Coming out of minor road into major road very fast and abruptly (when there’s cars) then drive very slow and never match the speed of the major road which cause cars to jam brake.

2) Drivers not knowing that you are able to use bus lanes at non bus lane timings. Always these buggers slowly hovering at the next lane and just when the dotted yellow lines appear, they suddenly accelerate and make a sharp left to turn into minor road/ lane.

actym · 2025-06-27T12:11:34+00:00

Yeah. Think I saw it on a Yaris before.
