**🛠️ *The Relentless Fellowship*** **A fraternity for entrepreneurs who never clock out and are always too busy building to waste time.** To start 2026 right, I will be hosting an 8 weeks Founder Mastermind, Cohort 01 2026. This is a closed eight week mastermind for startup and SME owners in Singapore who are still in the fight. Seven seats only. One cohort. No extensions. **Who this is for** * Founder or owner operator. * Revenue exists. Any level. * You control decisions. * You can commit time and attention for eight weeks. **Structure** * Lifetime: eight weeks, fixed. * Full group sessions: * Week 1 kickoff, two hours. * Week 5 regroup, two hours. * Week 8 closeout, one hour. * Weekly peer follow ups: * 30 minutes. * Groups of two or three. * Host included in the seven. **How it works** * You define one objective that matters. * You report progress every week. * You get questioned, challenged, and held to account. * You execute between sessions. * The group ends after week eight. **Rules** * No observers. * No passengers. * Written updates required. * Miss two commitments, you exit. * No sales, no pitching, no recruitment. **What you should expect** * Direct feedback. * Pressure on weak assumptions. * Decisions made faster. * Work shipped, not discussed. * Clarity on what to double down on or kill. **What this is not** * Networking. * Coaching therapy. * Motivational talk. * Open ended community. If this sounds uncomfortable in a useful way, apply. Application required. Screening is deliberate. Details and dates will be shared with accepted members only. This is the 4th session of The Relentless Fellowship. In January 2026, the host will be Nicholas. His profile is as follows: Nicholas Chan is an entrepreneur with over 30 years of practical experience building, operating, and fixing businesses across multiple stages. He has founded and led companies, worked in early stage venture investing, and advised founders on execution, structure, and survival. As the organizer of the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network, he brings together serious operators who value effort, discipline, and results. His work reflects a long term commitment to building real businesses rather than pursuing clout, trend-chasing or shortcuts. **🔧 Introducing: *The Relentless Fellowship*** This is a **private support group and collaboration circle** for serious, mission-driven workaholic entrepreneurs who obsessively live and breathe their work. Not a speaker panel. Not a pitch night. Not a parade of LinkedIn personalities. No bullshit about work-life balance. No political correctness or woke bullshit. This is about finding and being amongst other similarly driven entrepreneurs. This is a fellowship, not a networking event. A workaholic support group, not a place to wayang. Just real conversations and profitable collaborations formed over dinner with fellow entrepreneurs who: * Show up, not just in business but in how they treat others. * Share knowledge, experience, perspective and opportunities. Not just take take take. * Respect time, commitments and the opportunity to connect with high-calibre fellow entrepreneurs to build lasting collaborations. This is a space for **mutual support**, **shared energy** and **zero woke political correctness**. *** **📅 The Format** * Held on **Tuesday or Thursday evenings**, hosted at a fellow entrepreneur’s office. * **Capped at 8 attendees (including the host)** to protect the quality of conversation and connection. * **Bring your own packed dinner**; drinks provided from the host’s pantry. * Nicholas, the host of the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network will personally host the **first 3 to 6 gatherings**, after which other members may group up and volunteer their office space to continue the series if they so desire. * If there is demand, more Relentless Fellowship chapters will be spun off and run by other committed entrepreneur hosts. *** ### 🔒 Expression of Interest For the month of January 2026, the host will be Nicholas. Please WhatsApp him at **+65 9488 9683** with the following details: 1. Indicate your interest in attending. 2. Provide your **name, company name, and a short intro** (either what your company does or what new venture you’re starting). 3. Confirm if you are open to meeting **over dinner on the 4th Thursday of the month**. From there, you’ll be contacted directly once dates and details are set. *** **If you’ve been quietly carrying the weight of your business, building quietly, working relentlessly and ready to meet others walking the same to band up in building together stronger, better and faster, the Relentless Fellowship is for you.** **No speeches. No spectators. No wokeness. Just builders.**

**You’ve built a career—but are you building something that truly matters?** If you’ve ever wondered whether your skills could be used for something more meaningful, you’re not alone. Join us for an evening of professional networking and knowledge sharing focused on meaningful work and venture building.

This meetup is the perfect platform to expand your network, exchange ideas, and learn the secrets behind venture building. Let’s explore how your experience can help build a better future—alongside others who are turning that same restlessness into real impact. [Note: Do get a drink or food from the venue to support them]

**Our first dinner. I've been looking forward to this.** The idea is simple: six women who are building something, sharing a meal together. No name tags, no agenda slides, no awkward "tell us your elevator pitch" moments. Just dinner. We'll start with a quick round of intros like who you are, what you're building, and maybe one thing that's been on your mind lately. Could be a win, could be a problem you're chewing on, could be "I have no idea what I'm doing but here I am." In my experience, when you put founders in a room together, you don't need to manufacture discussion. The good stuff just happens. **The practical bits** * $10 to 91454489 reserves your seat * Food and drinks on your own tab I started this group because I wanted a space like this for myself. Somewhere to meet other women who understand what it's like to build something from scratch. The late nights, the second-guessing, the small wins that no one else quite gets. If that sounds like something you need too, grab a seat. See you!

Calling all founders, CEOs, lawyers, doctors, and entrepreneurs to join our special *Founder Edition* of Sip & Read meetup event. Let's sip on fine wine and discuss our first book **The 5AM Club- Own Your Morning Elevate Your Life, by Robin Sharma**. We will pair this book with our favorite wine at **Wine on High** and engage in thought-provoking discussions on startup businesses and entrepreneurship, and network with like-minded individuals in a cozy book club setting. *The 5AM Club* by Robin Sharma explores how waking up early and following a structured morning routine can dramatically improve productivity, mindset, and overall life mastery. Through a blend of storytelling and practical frameworks, it teaches high performers how to build discipline, focus, and long-term success by owning the first hour of the day. Come prepared to discuss this month's book. At the end of each book club meeting, we will take next book and venue suggestions from the participants for the next meeting. Whether you are a book lover, women entrepreneur, or a content creator, this event is perfect for sharing ideas and insights with other funders and founders in the entrepreneurial world. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together. Sign up now to reserve your spot! *Fun fact! This meetup was established in 2015 and had over 1,000 members. I had to shut down operations while attending law school, but we're back!!*

(Note: RSVPing here on meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you’ll need to register at our website, **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Online-Masterclass-The-Private-Lender-s-Thrival-Guide-14-1-24-2026)**.) Private lending got riskier in 2025—and pretending it didn’t is how lenders are gonna get burned in 2026. Deals are taking longer to sell. Rents aren’t hitting projections, but expenses are exceeding them. And lenders who relied on loose underwriting, minimal paperwork, and “It’s Ok, I trust you” terms are finding out why those habits only work in hot markets. That’s why we’re hosting this all-day, online workshop **designed for people who are already private lenders—or want to be—and want to protect their money in a slower, flatter 2026 market.** You’ll learn how to evaluate deals, borrowers, and paperwork the right way, how to structure safer loans, and how to deal with troubled loans before they become disasters. This session is open to members and non-members at all experience levels. It’s as little as $47 for members and $97 for non-members (which is CHEAP compared to missing even one payment on a private loan!) if you register by January 22nd. The workshop will be recorded, and all registrants receive the recording, so sign up even if you can’t “be there”. Oh, and there’s a 100% satisfaction guaranteed or your money back. Remember, to actually reserve your seat, you have to go **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Online-Masterclass-The-Private-Lender-s-Thrival-Guide-14-1-24-2026)** and register on our website!
