This week, we're adding more pages to our Spellbook. Here's what we'll be talking about:

At a certain point this year, Imamull randomly decided that it was time for everyone to level up the way we think, sharpening our communication and listening skills, improve our mindset, and learn to communicate better. Overall, to be a better person outside of our technical skills.

This was when we were divided into groups where Elroy, Aiman and Imamull became facilitatos of the pre-recorded workshop by Chris Do called the Business Bootcamp. The workshop is broken down into many beneficial sections such as Mindset, Communication, Blame Game, Sales Objections and so on.

One that stood out and stuck through to the team was the Mindset topic.

Day by day, we will most like get into situations that tests our patience. Let’s call this the “event”. When an “event” happens, we get to “react”. Based on how we “react”, there will be an “outcome”. That “outcome” is fully determined by us. In a simple equation, that would be:

Event + Reaction = Outcome.

Here are some examples that we went through in the workshop.

Angry
Stuck in a jam + Angry = A bad day, road rage, pissy the whole day

Dropped our drink after we bought it + Angry = Call ourselves clumsy, gets annoyed, call it a waste of money

Planned to jog and it rained + Angry = I’m never gonna lose weight, why is this happening to me, my whole schedule is spoiled.

Happy, Accepting
Stuck in a jam + Happy = This is the time to breathe and look around, what is happening around me? Maybe I should listen to a podcast and make this time a productive one.

Dropped our drink after we bought it + Happy = Hey, maybe it would’ve given me a stomach ache, guess my sugar intake will be lower, maybe the ants will be well fed

Planned to jog and it rained + Happy = Maybe I needed the break anyway, what if I wind down and read books, let’s get cozy and watch that series I’ve been putting off, what if I sleep early and wake up early tomorrow?

You can either whine, or you can shift your mindset and see the good things in your day to day to life.

This can be applied to business, to the mistakes you’re going to make, and the “bad” experiences you’ll have. Everything can be a lesson if you decide to make it as one.

And to Hisham Firdaus, happy anniversary! He’s been involved in major projects ever since he came - Potato Habit, T4, Tenun (Dynamik Technologies), NTFB, Wadokai, BDCB, Lexus, UNN, UK Embassy, BFI, First Emporium, ClubSTBL, Tuai, Deloitte, GlasHaus and more.

He is the guy behind the full upgrade on our portraits - the ones you see on LinkedIn and our website “about” pages.

Before this, the business team — Elroy Ramantan and Imamull Qhaeer — were the only ones who had business cards. Now, after going through so many expos and outings, there are 3 more people in the team who seems to need it too. Raf, Limin and Judin.

We’re making it a game to finish the 100 pcs stack by the end of September. The more we reach people with our business cards, the better exposure we have. Let’s see who wins…

We also extended the business card offer to those who want it in the team with a simple rule — get 500+ connections on LinkedIn and you’ll have your own stack!

Solo project lead by Iman Shamsuddin finally completed after months. This is also the furthest project we’ve ever done, based in New Zealand. Thanks to our friend Amai Rawiri who owns Kiwi Creative Studios NZ for the amazing opportunity presented to us. Here are some snapshots of the book, Marae Kai.

A 100+ pages book with fully hand drawn illustrations, rich in culture, and a whole lot of phrases we have no idea how to pronounce. Well done Iman!

Part of the creative team (Haziyah and Iman) and also Hafiz, has been going around the office every morning before they start work… with a portable speaker and full of energy. Once they are done with downstairs, they go upstairs and repeat.

Maybe this could be useful if you feel funky in the morning.

Our team is big on Apple. We recently streamed the whole Apple Event and this September’s line up is pretty exciting. You can watch it here:

Some stuff that is coming up: Airpods Pro 3, Apple Watch Series 11, a New Apple Watch SE, iPhone 17, Air and Pro.
