10 Keys That Make You Successful In Life

January 25th, 2010

Do you know what are the keys that will make you successful in life?

You’ll discover the 10 keys to living a successful life below…

1. Clear Vision

Having a clear vision of the kind of successful life you want is the fundamental step to achieving it. If you don’t even know what kind of successful life you want, you can never achieve it.

Unfortunately, this is what happening with most people. Most people don’t know exactly what they want in their life. They will tell you that they want to be successful, but they cannot give you the clear definition of what they mean.

It is the same for those who say that they want to be rich. How rich do you want to be? You need to have a measure and a deadline for it.

2. Persistence

What you need is persistence to achieve your dreams. Never give up even if you fail to achieve the goals you set. Do you know that Thomas Edison failed more than 10,000 times before he finally succeeded inventing the light bulb?

If you give up in the middle of the journey, you’re going to waste all the effort that you have previously poured in.

Persistence is the key that you must master if you want to be successful in life.

3. Commitment

Have the commitment of doing what you have set out. Most people know that if they want to make more money, they will have to make more sales, but they just don’t do it.

Just like you know that if you want to score A in a subject, you need to study and do exercise for that subject. However, most student will just never do that.

Therefore, you need to have the commitment to carry out or to take action to make your goals come true. If you are not committed, you will procrastinate and just let it be.

4. Find A Mentor

Learn from someone who has already achieved the kind of results that you want in your life. For example, if you want to be rich, who are you going to listen to, your teachers and friends who tell you that investing is risky? Or are you going to take the advice from successful investors such as Warren Buffett and Peter Linch?

Don’t listen to the wrong advice given by those who are not successful. Your friends may care about you but if they don’t know a thing about investing, don’t listen to them. Just be friend with them but listen and take advice from other successful investors.

This is what I mean by finding a mentor. If you can learn from someone who is credible or are able to teach you what you want, achieving the outstanding in your life is not something difficult.

My success mentor is Adam Khoo. He is the one who showed me what I can accomplish in my life. And I’m planning to attend one of his workshop this year. Adam is one of the top successful people in Asia and he is teaching the how you can master your mind and design your destiny for success. To learn more about him, visit him at Master Your Mind.

5. Think Positively

This is one of the most common but powerful techniques to live a successful life. Try to notice your thinking pattern, are you thinking the negative or are you thinking about the positive.

Some people will think the negatively and this block them from using their full potential to achieve what they want. It is just like when your boss ask you to go in his room, what do you think he is going to tell you? Are you thinking good thought or negative thought?

You can control your thought by breaking your old thinking habit. First you will have to identify or get conscious about the thought that you are thinking. And if you found that you are thinking negatively, try to focus on positive thoughts.

6. Dare Venture Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Some gurus say that if you want to be rich and successful, you need to do things differently.

What I think is, you don’t necessarily need to do things differently from others, but you must dare to venture out of your comfort zone. If you’re someone who is shy and timid, try to get out of this comfort by getting to know more people.

Some people don’t dare to do this and this causes them to stuck in where they are forever. Just like if you’re living in a small city and you know that you will not have much opportunity if you stay there. And if you want to make some big business deals, you must go to big city.

Do you have the courage to do so? Get to a place where nobody knows you and you’ll be all alone to strive for your future. Are you willing to do that? Do you dare? You need courage to go against the norm and expand your comfort zone to be successful.

7. Network With Other Successful People

Birds of the same feather flock together. How true this is. People who are successful will network and be together with other successful people. Of course, I’m not suggesting that you leave all your friends, but what I’m telling you is to join and get to know more successful friends.

The more you mix with successful people, the more you are going to learn how they think and how they act. Just like if you mix with a bunch of street punks, you’ll eventually think just like them and act like them.

When you see all the people around you are making more than $1 million a year, you will feel unsatisfied and you will feel that you can accomplish much more. When all your friends are making $10,000 a month, but you’re only making $2,000 a month, what will you feel?

This is the importance of mixing with other successful people. You want to create the feeling, the emotion of being the same with them. This is why reading and learning are so important to improve the quality of your lives. My top recommendation, go through Master Your Mind to learn how to design your destiny today.

8. Be Willing To Fail And Turn Failure Into Success

If you’re not someone who is willing to fail, you can never be successful. People learn more from their failures than their successes. Without failure, you can never achieve success.

Babies will learn from failure such as falling from trying to walk. But do they give up? Or did you try to stop them from falling? No! You’re not! You tell them to keep trying until they learn to walk. And this is the reason everyone in this world walks.

However, when doing business or investing, what do you tell yourself? You tell yourself that you cannot afford to fail! Can you see the difference? It is the same in school. Teachers will punish and scold those who fail in school. This is one of the early conditioning that put you to think that failing in life is not something good.

You have to be willing to fail and turn failure to success. Don’t be afraid of failure, learn from your failure and make more wiser choice without giving up. This is how you learn and be successful in life.

9. Rest And Enjoy Life

What is the meaning if you have all the money in the world but have no time or freedom to enjoy life. You don’t need to be a millionaire to enjoy life. You can be happy and enjoy life right now.

This is what separate successful people from ordinary people. Successful people always are passionate with their work. For them, they are enjoying their work. In fact, it is not work to them, it is play, it is fun.

On the other hand, ordinary people will think that it is boring to work. They need to work for living and it is not something fun or enjoyable. This is what kills their passion and they lose the motivation to be the best in their field. You can be successful in every field as long as you have the passion and motivation to be the best.

10. Discover The Final Key By Yourself

You don’t have to learn everything from a book or from here. Sometimes, you can review back what you have done and maybe you will discover the ‘a-ha’ moment by yourself.

Looking back at your results will give you a good indication of what is working and what is not working. You just need to do what is working and improve your strategy to get even more and better results.

These are the 10 keys that every successful people are holding. If you want to be the next successful people, use these keys in your life wisely.

3 Positive Self-Talk That Will Overcome Procrastination

January 20th, 2010

Do you want to learn how to overcome procrastination? Are you putting things off?

I believe that everyone faces the challenges of procrastination in their daily life. No matter who you are, a doctor, an engineering, a super successful businessman, you’ll face with issues with your personal productivity.

And I believe that to deal with procrastination, you will have to find and cure the source.

What I mean is, you need to know what is causing you to procrastinate and how you procrastinate before you can prevent it.

Most personal productivity books will just tell you that to be more productive, you need to create a to-do list, organize your tasks, do the most important task first and so on.

However, this will not help you overcome procrastination. These techniques can help you to be more productive and get more things done, but they never deal with the source of procrastination within you.

The source of procrastination is deep within you, in your mind, and you work it out as a habit.

I found self-talk a powerful strategy to overcome procrastination. Whenever you want to get a task done, you will ask yourself questions before you proceed to do it.

So if you can deal and act before you actually procrastinate, you will be able to put yourself into action and do the task.

Some people will talk to themselves like, “should I really do this?” “God, I hate this part.” “I’m going to spend all my time here, what a boring thing to do.”

What if you talk to yourself positively before doing the task? What if you tell yourself, “How am I going to enjoy with this today?” Or “Where can I start today?”

Do you think this is going to help you overcome procrastination? You bet! The answer is a BIG yes!

So here are the 3 positive self-talk you can use to help you avoid procrastination in your life…

1. Tell yourself you’ll enjoying doing it.

When you have to get your task done, ask yourself, “how am I going to enjoy doing this now?” This is going to interrupt your pattern because this is not the way you use to act.

And if your pattern gets interrupted, you will never focus on how boring or mundane the task is. What you’ll do then is that your brain will start to search for answer of how you can enjoy doing it.

Try it, it really works. Even before I’m typing this post here, I’m thinking about how am I going to enjoy and share this great tip with you.

2. Tell yourself that you can accomplish a small step.

Many people focus on the big task instead of the small task that they should get it done. When you focus on the big task, you’ll feel your mind with fear. You’ll fear of the massive amount of time you’re going to pour in. You’ll fear if you cannot get it done by the deadline. You’ll feel the fear and feel overwhelm.

Confucius has a very interesting quote on this, “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”. Yes, no matter how big the project is, you will have to start by taking one small step at a time.

You cannot build a house at once. You cannot write a book in a day. However, you can start by designing the house, pour the concrete, laying the bricks, and so on and so forth. It is the same for everything in life.

You can take just one small step to accomplish a big project right now. Maybe you can draft a plan for your project, maybe it is a phone call, or maybe it is saying “hello” to somebody.

So ask yourself, “what one small step can I take today?” This will help you to avoid putting things off.

3. Tell yourself, “I wish to” instead of saying “I should” or “I have” to.

In the world of psychology, the word “I have to” or “I should” creates the emotion of unwillingness to do it.

When you say that you have to do it, you are telling yourself that you need to get it done, but you feel like don’t want to do it.

So change the word to “wish”. Say to yourself “I wish to study tonight” instead of saying “I have to study tonight”.

You can try this little change right now and feel the change in emotion and feeling in you. Close your eyes and imagine all the task that you need to do in order to achieve your goals.

Think by using the word “have”. For instance, you can think, “I have to do this, I have to do that, I have to…”

Now, change the word to “wish”. What do you feel?

Try to use this word and make it a habit to use it.

And these are the 3 positive self-talk strategies that will help you to overcome procrastination.

7 Keys To Produce More And Better Results In Life

January 19th, 2010

Do you want to be more productive in your life?

I’m going to share with you the 7 keys to living a productive life that I learned from Brian Tracy. Well, if you want to get more and better results, here are the 7 keys that can help you…

1. Working Longer And Harder

Working longer hours and harder definitely is going to help you increase your result. Successful people all are willing to work longer hours and work harder. This is why they are able to produce more and better results than ordinary people.

One of my favorite quotes is from the marketing legend, Jay Abraham…

“I used to be a workaholic and monstrously committed. I had tremendous capacity to accomplish work, I’d work 1 hours a day, seven days a week, and have meetings at 2 in the morning.”

I don’t know about you, but if you know the story of this marketing legend, I’m sure you’ll be inspired by him. Success does not come easily. And because of the hard work and effort that Jay committed to put in, he is now a marketing legend that nobody in the business world never heard of.

2. Work Faster And Get Things Done Faster

Spending more time into your work is good, but how much time do you have? Therefore, you have to learn to work faster and get things done faster. You need to learn the art of becoming productive in life if you want to be successful.

Everyone has 24 hours a day, this is a fact that you can never change. Thus, what you can do to be more productive is to work faster and get more things done in the same amount of time.

3. Do Important Result-Oriented Task First

If there are two tasks at your hand that you need to get them done right now, both tasks are important, but one will give you the most results, which one you’re going to get it done first?

The answer is obvious, whenever you have the option, try to get the task that will give you the most results done. Most people never do this, they spend eighty percent of their time into something that gives them only 20 percent of the results.

On the other hand, successful people focus in getting the 20 percent of work done that will give them eighty percent of the results.

4. Focus On What You Are Better At

If you don’t have enough time, try to focus on what you are better at and try to outsource or delegate the task that you have no interest or skill in.

For example, if you want to create a website and you’re not talented in graphic design, you can outsource this task to experts. They will get the job done in a faster manner and get the job done more effectively.

However, if you’re trying to get it done by yourself, you’ll end up wasting a lot of time to learn how to do it and actually get the job done.

5. Branching Your Task

Whenever you have a big task, try to break it down into small and manageable task. And after that, get those small little tasks done.

It is the same in goal setting. If you set your goal too big, you must break it done into small goals, and then further break them down into small and actionable steps.

Successful people will never focus on the big chunk of work, they will focus and get the smaller task done that will give them the big results that they desire.

Remember how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

6. Continuous Improvement

I always stress about committed to never ending improvement. This is the ultimate key to living a successful life. If you want to make your dreams come true and achieve all the goals you set, you must continuously improve yourself all the time.

7. Prepare For Every Task

Yes, you must prepare for the task you’re going to get it done before you actually do it. It is just like you need to plan for tomorrow before you sleep tonight.

This is exactly what every successful people will do. They know that if they want to be more productive and get more things done, they’ll need to develop the habit of preparing for every task.

Preparation is one of the most important keys to successful living.

With the 7 keys to produce more and better results in life, what you need to do now is to apply these 7 keys into your daily life right now.

If you feel overwhelm by them, just apply one key at a time until you make it a habit before you start to apply the others. Make sure you follow through.

7 Main Differences Between Rich And Poor People

January 18th, 2010

Rich or poor, which category do you fit in?

Most people want to be rich, but most of them are poor, why?

There must be some differences between rich people and poor people. If you study carefully, you will find out why rich and successful people are able to produce amazing results in their life, and why some people are living in poverty.

To be rich and successful, you don’t need to be lucky, extremely hard working or you need to have a college diploma or a university degree.

What you need, is the right mindset and the right mindset will form the right habit. As a result, the right habit will lead you toward the financial abundance kind of lifestyle that you always desire.

So here are the 7 main differences between rich and poor people…

1. Rich people believe that they create their lives while poor people believe that life happens to them. Can you see why rich and successful people are able to create amazing results in their life right now?

It is simply because they are in control of their lives. They believe that they are the ones who is responsible for their lives, they are the ones who is creating their future, not the economy or the knowledge or luck.

On the other hand, poor people will always give excuses and blame on the circumstances. When they failed in their business, they will blame the economy, their boss, their family or anything that did not go according to their plan.

Whenever you believe that life happens to you, you will lose the power to change and the power to control your future. You must believe that you’re the one who is creating your future, not other people or events.

2. Rich people play the money game to win but poor people play the money game just not to lose money. This is a big mindset difference.

Have you ever seen people invest in the stock market? Some people are so afraid that they will lose their money and they form a mindset that blocks their creativity. They formed the mindset of ‘investing not to lose the money’.

However, rich and successful people know exactly how they need to think in order to win the game of money. They will think and act from the view of playing the game to win. Unlike poor people, they will never invest just not to lose the money.

3. Rich people think and focus on opportunities while poor people focus on obstacles. When you face with problems, what are you focus on?

Are you focus on the problems, thinking how bad the situation is going to be? Or are you focusing on the solution and thinking about how you can solve or even turn the situation into opportunity?

Think about this carefully. No matter who you are, you will definitely face with all kinds of choices in your life. And when you need to decide to move on, try to notice on you thinking, what do you focus on, the solution, or the problem?

4. Rich people dare to dream big, poor people think small. When I tell my parents that I want to make a million dollar, they will tell me, “Why do you need so much money? You can live a very good lifestyle if you got a job that has a good pay. You don’t need to be a millionaire.”

I don’t know about you, but this statement happens to me all the time. And I definitely believe that poor people will tend to think small while rich people always think big.

To poor people, they will think that rich people are greedy because they always think big. Is it true that you are being greedy if you think big? I don’t know if I buy this, but to me, I’ll think of it as a waste if you’re not using the resources available (your thinking) to you at full.

Don’t you owe it to everyone around you to create a better life for them? Don’t you want your family to live good? So think big and create the abundance lifestyle for these people right now.

5. Rich people are committed to their dreams, poor people are just dreaming about their dreams. Yes, this is an obvious one.

If you’re not committed to be rich, you can never be rich. How many times have you heard people say that they want to be rich, but they never do anything about it?

This is the mentality of poor people. They will just think about how good it is going to be if they are rich, but they will never do anything about their dreams. They know that they cannot afford a luxury car if they have a low pay job. The thing is, they never do anything to change it.

On the contrary, rich and successful people are committed toward their dreams. They will do whatever it takes, in the boundary or moral and ethics of course, to achieve their dreams.

6. Rich people associate with rich and successful people. Poor people will associate with poor people. Do you have any rich friends? Or all of your friends are poor?

I’m not suggesting that you need to stop making friends with poor people, what I’m suggesting it, try to get to know more about rich people. The more you mix with them, the more you will think like them. And if you think like them, you will start to create amazing results just like them.

If most of your friends are poor and their working salary all are below, $2,000, you will be having the same range of salary most of the time. However, if you associate with rich people who are making $2,000 in just a day, you will start to see the possibility of what you can accomplish in your life.

And this will change your thinking of what you can achieve in your life. $2,000 will become a small amount for you once you changed your mindset about money.

7. Rich people good learners while poor people think that they have learned everything in the world. One of the fastest ways to be financially abundance is to learn directly from people who have already achieved this status.

And if you’re not willing to learn, you will never be able to be successful. If you want to get the best pay, you must be the best. And the only way you can be the best is to learn from the best and learn to be the best.

You now know what are the 7 main differences between rich and poor people. Do what rich people do and try to avoid the adopting the mindset and habits of the poor.

This will guarantee you a financial abundance lifestyle.

MSI In A Flash Workshop

January 15th, 2010

Last Monday I attend the MSI in a Flash Workshop in Kuala Lumpur, held by Patric Chan and Robert Allen.

And because it was a Monday, not much people showed up.

The reason I went for this workshop is to learn something and I wish to meet with Robert Allen. He has always been one of my favorite success gurus.

His book, The One Minute Millionaire is one of the books that is responsible for changing my view on life and what I can accomplish out of my life.

If you want to change your financial destiny, he definitely is one of the mentors you should find.

This is Patric Chan, a successful Internet marketer who makes his living from the Internet. In fact, my main reason for attending this workshop is because I want to create some breakthroughs for my Internet marketing career.

I wish that I could learn something from both Patric and Robert.

However, the workshop end up promoting another workshops for both of them that. I did not take part in any of them because I felt what I’m not having is putting what I have learned into action.

I have attended Ewen Chia’s workshop before and I have bought a lot of materials from the Internet itself. So I figure that what I need is taking more action instead of learning.

This is the famous Robert Allen. One idea that I learned from him during the workshop is the idea of the ‘future bank account’ that he used to describe our thinking.

Robert says that our financial destiny or our future bank account is linked with our thoughts in the present. Whenever we make a negative thought, the amount in our future bank about will decrease.

And whenever we think about positive or constructive thoughts, you will hear ‘ka-ching’, the sound where your future bank account is deposited with some extra money.

The key that Robert wants to show us is that our financial destiny is determined by our thinking. We don’t have a financial problem, what we have is a lousy thought pattern.

And as soon as we change our thought pattern, we will change our financial destiny.

This is a powerful illustration about how our thoughts are affecting our daily lives and our successes.

Wealth is created with an idea, don’t you agree?

Have you ever heard of this guy called Moe Siegel? Moe is the founder of the Celestial Seasonings tea. Before he created all his wealth, when he was picking seeds and herbs, he would tell his fellow friends, “Someday I’ll have a tea company to rival Lipton.” Everyone always said, “Yeah, sure, sure.”

Well, he started by selling his little teas to health food stores. Then he began expanding, and before long he was selling them to every chain in America.

The moral of the story is this, did Moe start with money? Did he start out with big factory or warehouse? Did he have a giant corporation behind him? Was he negative?

The answer to all the questions above is NO! So what does this mean? It means that creating wealth start from an idea, a vision, a goal, or a dream.

Therefore, take note on your thinking pattern and your self-talk from now on. Change the way you think and the way you talk to yourself. This is the first step in your journey to success.

The Secret How To Create Results And Avoid Procrastination Now!

January 14th, 2010

Do you want to learn the secret of how you can create results and avoid procrastination?

The secret to achieving this is not something difficult. In fact, most people can do it, but not all of them are willing to do it.

And this is what separates the ordinary people from extraordinary people who create outstanding results they desire in their life.

Today, this post is going to be short. However, it is a powerful post if you apply what you’re going to learn here.

One of the most powerful key in this secret is that without this secret, you will never create ANY results. You will never achieve your goals or make your dreams come true no matter how clever or how much skills you have.

Can you see it now, it is not the skills that you have or the cleverness that you have that will determine how successful you are.

Becoming successful has nothing to do with what you know or does it has anything to do with your knowledge.

This can be proven by the success stories of all the school dropouts who are still able to create amazing results in their life.

Actually, what you know only amounts a little to being successful and achieving your goals.

You can be a health expert, or you can be a doctor, but you can still be fat and unhealthy if you’re not practicing what you know in your life.

You can be a business student who graduated with first-class degree, but if you are not using the knowledge you have gained from your schools, you’ll be the same like every other people.

You can be an expert in investment, but if you’re not going to apply your strategies or your knowledge, you’ll never produce amazing results that an expert deserves.

Obviously, what you know does not count in achieving what you want. Knowing or having specific knowledge about how to get things done is an added advantage, but it will never determine your success.

Therefore, the real secret to create results and avoid procrastination is this… Take immediate action and do it consistently!

If you’re not taking any action, there’s only one result you will get, which is ‘nothing’.

The moment you take action, you’re creating the future that you want and you will be able to avoid the procrastination that you always make.

It is true that success requires planning and thinking, but too much of it will cause you to be paralyzed. This is what most people are suffering in, analysis paralysis.

It simply means that you think too much and plan too much that you don’t put in time into taking action.

You don’t need the perfect plan to get started or to be successful. You don’t have to wait until the best time or when there are 5 rainbows in row in the sky only to take action.

You don’t have to wait for you to have $100,000 in the bank to start your donation, you can start now.

You don’t have to wait for the moment when you are rich only to make those investments or savings, after all, this is the reason you are not rich… yet!

So harness the power of taking action today… right now!

Top 3 Principles How Anyone Can Create Extraordinary Results In Their Field

January 13th, 2010

Have you ever thought of want to be extraordinary in your field?

No matter what field you’re in, be it business, investment, medical, sales, education line and more. You can learn, apply the techniques and create extraordinary results there.

This is exactly what I’m going to share with you today. From what I’ve learned all these years. You can become the top 5% in your field if you apply these success principles.

No matter which field you’re in, there seems to be a group of people who are doing extremely well.

Even if it is in school, some of the students will produce great results while most of them will just create ordinary results.

It is the same in life. If you want to be extraordinary and create amazing results, you must be in the top 5% in your field.

So here are the top 3 principles how anyone can create extraordinary results in their field and in their life…

1. Passion Is The Fuel

Passion is what that is going to keep you going. Without passion, you can never have the motivation and energy to go on.

Look at all the successful people out there, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, Donald Trump and more. They all possess the same criteria for success, which is passion in what they do.

Bill Gates has all the money he needs to survive in his life, but he still commits to his work. If you read the biography of Donald Trump, you’ll find that he is able to go through all the obstacles that are blocking his way because he is a man that is so passionate about what he does.

Without passion, your life is going to be boring and dull.

This is what makes passion the number one success principle that you must adopt in what you do. Think about it, are you feeling passionate in your work? If you’re not, you may want to develop the passion or to discover where are your true passion.

If you cannot find the passion or enthusiasm in what you do, don’t worry about it, simply read this post, How To Develop Passion For Success.

This is a great post that I encourage everyone of my reader here to read. Even if this is your first time here, you should read it!

I believe it is going to inspire you and change the way you look at life!

2. Constant And Never Ending Improvement

Want to be in the top 5% in your field? Learn the art of constant and never ending improvement.

You can transform your life from good to great is by simply adopting this one principle. Remember, leaders are readers.

Think about it, even if you improve by just 1% everyday in your life, you’re going to improve dramatically in your life in just a year.

You cannot change your life in just one day, but you can improve your life little by little everyday. This is definitely a doable process. However, you need persistence in doing it.

The easiest way you can improve your area of expertise or the quality of your life is by reading. Do you know that most people never read any book after they finish school?

Think about it, if you can gain just one simple idea of how you can improve your sales presentation from a book, how many books do you want to read?

The answer is as much as you can! If a book is able to improve the quality of your life by just 1%, you will be empowering your life and transforming your life in a year by reading 12 books, one in a month.

So commit yourself to never ending improvement from now on. However, you must make sure that you are not stuck in learning without taking any action. Learning itself is just a form of potential power. Applying what you’ve learned is the real power that will make you successful.

3. Persistence Is The Key

Don’t give up, no matter what you do, never ever give up.

The moment you give up, every hope vanish. However, if you keep on, there’s a slight hope of success for you. Of course, if you keep on, you’ll definitely be able to produce the results you want.

It is not just a slight hope, it is a guaranteed result!

However, make sure you change your approach whenever you face obstacles or setback in your journey. You’ll never going to achieve what you want by doing the same thing over and over again if what you do is not getting you anywhere.

If you want different results, change your approach and use other strategies so that you’ll get different results.

Are what you doing now going to lead you to your dreams? If it is not, you’d better change your approach right now because you’re not going to get anywhere if you keep doing the same thing.

This is exactly what is happening to most people. For those who hold a salary job and desire to be a millionaire, this is a serious question that you must ask yourself.

You know it very well that if you keep on doing what you’re doing right now, it is impossible for you to be a millionaire. You need other strategies that can help you to achieve this dream of yours.

These 3 principles are what I think the most important for you to create an extraordinary results in your life.

Apply these principles into your life and you’ll start to notice changes really soon.

The Craziest Principle To Be Rich

January 12th, 2010

I have just attended to Robert G Allen and Patric Chan’s Multiple Streams Of Incomes In A Flash workshop yesterday.

It is such a great event and I’m feeling so proud that I’m able to meet with Robert Allen, the author of international best seller of Nothing Down, The One Minute Millionaires, Multiple Streams of Incomes and more.

What I’m going to share with you today is something that most people will never think about in their life. It hit me when Robert tells us one principle to become rich in the workshop.

He said, “if you want to be rich, you must be a fool and act like a fool.”

How true is this! You don’t have to care about what others are going to say about you. If you tell your friends that you’re going to be a millionaire, will they laugh at you or think that you’re crazy?

Most of the time people who are trying to breakthrough the norm will get fooled by others. This is because when you’re trying to do something extraordinary, ordinary people will think that you’re crazy because you’re thinking and acting differently from them.

Yet, this is the most important and crazy principle to become rich.

I read a lot of self-help books. I will buy like one or two books each month and I will spend at least 30 minutes into reading personal development books everyday.

Some of my family members say that I’m a bookworm and I read too much about making money. Sometimes they’ll tell me that I’ve been brainwashed by those books.

Well, sometimes it hurts because what we’re getting are not supports from our family members or friends. Instead, they laugh at us and think that we’re crazy.

The same happen when I tell my friends that I attended Ewen Chia, world’s #1 super affiliate workshop for RM3,497, roughly around US $1,000, they all responded with just one word, “crazy”.

I don’t know about you, but I think you’ll face the same kind of respond or moment in your life just like me.

Indeed that you must hold your dreams until you achieve it. You must have the persistence to go on without giving up. Whenever you hit an obstacle, try to go over it, go under it, fly through or just blow it up.

You have to be creative and be daring to take actions that most people are not daring to take. You have to be different if you want to be extraordinary in your life.

People may look at you and think that you’re crazy, but think about it seriously, who are the one that is crazy?

The one who lives a mediocre life and think that they should not break the rules or even try to be extraordinary? Or the one who dares to take action, be different from the crowd, lead the group, hold to his dreams and be extraordinary?

There’s a phrase that I like a lot from Anthony Robbins. He says…

“If you want to play the game and win, you have to play it “full out”. You’ve got to be willing to feel stupid, and you’ve got to be willing to try things that might not work – and if they don’t work, be willing to change your approach.”

Don’t be afraid that when you do something and it fails to deliver the result you want. When you fail in something, don’t get discourage or give up. Don’t be afraid that people might laugh at you.

What you have to do is to get up and prove yourself that they’re wrong.

Make a fool out of yourself and be persistence! You can achieve your dreams!

My Vacation In Langkawi

January 10th, 2010

Hi, this is unofficial, but, since this is a blog, I want to make it more personal.

So I have decided to write more about myself and to share with you who I am.

This year, at the first of January, I’ve went to Langkawi island. If you’re new here, I’m a Malaysian. Have you ever been to Malaysia?

It is a great country. And I’ve had my vacation of year 2009 in this island called Langkawi. I went with my friends and loved one. It is a great trip and we all have had great time there.

Below are some of the pictures that I took. If you have interest and are going to visit Malaysia someday, let me know, I can be your tour guide, but there’s no guarantee that I’m available for you by that time, :p

This is the picture taken before we took the speedboat into Langkawi island. I’m not inside the picture, I’m the one who’s taking the picture for them. They’re all my friends and the girl with green pant is my girlfriend.

All are great friends of mine. I really enjoy the great time with them.

Yes, you have to take speedboat into the island, unless you fly from the mainland of Malaysia.

This is me! Taking picture with a deer in Oriental Village while waiting to take cable car to the top of the mountain. (I forgot the name of the mountain though, :P )

We’re at the top of the mountain. The Langkawi cable car is one of the must visit attractions in Langkawi. If you’re coming here but you’re not going to for the cable car, it is going to be a big waste for you.

If you notice properly, you can see amazing view from the top of the mountain. The weather is cool and the wind is strong on the top.

Again, a must visit!

See! I told you it is a must visit! This is the C-curve suspension bridge. It looks scary, but you can see great views from it. They purposely built it this way so that you can have great time there.

This is my friend Alex. What I want to show you is not him, but the view and the suspension bridge (lol, sorry Alex). You’ll feel the bridge is swinging a little when you’re on it.

It is truly an amazing construction and a place to visit – the Langkawi cable car!

This is the next day when we visit the ‘Pregnant Island’. The shape of the island is like a pregnant woman. This is not sea, it is a lake inside the island.

There are tons of foreigners there and the view is beautiful.

Eagle feeding! Can you see that there’s an eagle in the middle of the picture? You’ll have the chance of seeing this if you take the tour package of island hopping.

But personally, I don’t think the package is worth the value.

When we’re there, it is the eagle breeding season, as a result, there are not much eagles to see, too bad.

Do you know what these are? They’re penguins! Very rare, but you can find them inside the Langkawi Underwater World.

Again, the Langkawi Underwater World is a must visit attraction if you ever go to Langkawi. There are a lot of marine life you can see here.

This is a sea lion. If you look at the picture carefully, you can see it is looking up. If you have never see a real sea lion or a penguin before, this is the place for you.

This is inside Galeria Perdana, or the ‘minister’s museum’. There are a lot of stuff to see inside. The entrance fee is cheap and you can walk all day inside there.

The last picture I’m going to share with you in my vacation to Langkawi. This is the Eagle Square. The landmark of Langkawi. That’s me and my girlfriend, sweet right? Haha!

There’s a lesson that I would like to share with you today.

Traveling and having vacation are great to expand your comfort zone. This is because when you’re out of your own house, you’re not doing things the way you use to be doing.

When you’re staying in a hotel, you’ll break your old pattern of taking bath, sleep and more.

You’ll grow, have more confident and are able to expand your comfort zone when you have a lot of vacation.

That’s it for today.
