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.

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.

Hey, Shawn from The Millionaire Secrets here.

Wish you have a warm, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

This is one of the most seek questions if you’re new to the internet. When you come across any advertisement claiming that you can make money from the internet, do you believe that it is really possible to generate income from the internet?

I seldom talk about internet marketing in my blog, but since the era is changing, it is getting more and more internet millionaires these days, I guess I should also include it in my blog. And one of  my goals is to make money from the internet to achieve my financial goal as well.

So do you really think that you can really make money from the internet?

In a word, YES. Why did I say so? Simply because I’m one of the examples. 2 years ago I never thought that I’ll be making money from the internet. Today, I’m generating income from the comfort of my home, by just using my laptop.

I know that it is hard to get you to believe that you can generate income from the internet if you’re someone skeptical. Here is one of the checks that I received lately…

I’m not showing you this check to impress you, but to show you one thing, as long as you have the heart to do it, you can succeed in any industry that you are passionate about.

Internet Marketing Is A Learn-able Subject

This is the kind of income that many people are dreaming to acquire. I know that it may sounds easy, but if you’re new to the internet, there is a lot to learn. Especially when you’re just starting out and you don’t know a thing.

But internet marketing is a learn-able subject. Today, if you know nothing about the internet, you can learn. You’re on the same place with me. I do not have any internet knowledge, I don’t know how to create a website, I don’t know how to host a website, I don’t know what is HTML and I don’t even know how to blog when I first started.

So I guess you just need to apply the success principle of willing to learn and commit to never ending improvement. New tactics or strategies are discovered on how you can make money from the internet everyday. You definitely need to be updated and learn as much as you can.

I’m not asking you to read and learn all the time. The basics and the fundamental to build a successful internet business are the same. You just need to master the fundamental and focus on the subject you’re going to learn.

I’ve also attended the world’s #1 super affiliate, Ewen Chia’s workshop last year. By the way, if you’re going to learn how you can generate multiple streams of income using the internet, Ewen is the best guru for you. For me, his teachings are easy and simple, but the results you’re going to obtain are amazing!

Ewen is just like you and me, he started with absolutely nothing. Struggling for 5 years, he finally managed to build an online internet business empire that makes him millions of dollars. And because of all his hard work, he has discovered a proven system how to generate money from the internet. If you follow through his Internet Wealth System, do as he says, you’ll be creating an addition income stream from the comfort of your home.

I’m generating my income from affiliate marketing. Therefore, I just update myself with affiliate marketing news and tactics. I seldom read or learn about how to make money using eBay or so. This is to keep myself focus in what I do. It is just like a laser beam, once it is focused, it can cut through almost anything.

No matter it is in the field of internet marketing or to be successful in your life, everything is possible for you if you are committed and willing to do whatever it takes.

Even if it is in real estate, you can achieve your goals and your dreams even if you’re new in the industry. However, you must be willing to learn, commit yourself to take action and stay focused in your life.

This is what makes a successful person successful. No matter what field you’re in, as long as you possessed the success habits, you can be successful in any industry.

I’ve been busy lately because of my new job as a real estate agent. In fact, I’ve resigned the job. I late found that my real passion is still in internet marketing, not real estate. And that’s the reason I let go the job as an agent.

After all, I’ve been blogging for around 2 years and I’ve been learning about internet marketing since then. And the number one reason I keep on doing internet marketing is that I really like it. I even took part in one of the internet marketing workshops held by the super affiliate Ewen Chia last year.

And because of this, I’ve decided to go full time into internet marketing. Although that I cannot guarantee any results from the internet, but I believe that as long as I’m willing to work for it and put in 100% commitment, I can success in any field I’m in.

Last week, I did a lot of thinking whether should I let go the real estate agent job. If I let go, what am I going to do? Trust me, those are the period where I’m frustrated and dangling in nowhere.

I believe that you don’t want to go through those times. What happened that made me into making the decision of letting go real estate and go into internet marketing is this book, The Passion Test.

When you’re doing something you’re passionate about, you will not feel tired, you will not feel frustrated, mundane or tedious. On the other hand, if you’re doing something you’re passionate with, you’re putting your love into it.

When you do something you love, you’ll automatically come up with the motivation and commitment. It is then you’ll align your action with your life. Life is all about doing what you love. If you’re not doing something that you love, you’ll never produce amazing results.

Even if you’re very successful in your life but you do not love what you do, you’ll never live a balance life. In fact, doing what you love is your ultimate destiny, it is the purpose for you to keep living.

Seriously, to be successful, you need to start from your passion. Start from doing what you love. This is what Bill Gates, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Michael Dell, Donald Trump are doing. Every successful person has one thing in common, that is they’re doing the things that they love.

So I hope that you know where your passion is. If you’re not, this is the book that can help you, The Passion Test. At least, this book has helped and made me clear about what I really want to do in my life. If you’re not, stop wasting any time because you’re not living in according to your life’s purpose.

To be successful, you have to align your heart, your mind and your action all in the same direction.

I was just graduated from Ewen Chia’s Real Internet Income Workshop last 21st September 2008. By the way, if you do not know who Ewen Chia is, he is the world’s number one super affiliate. If you are in affiliate marketing, then you will know who he is.

Looking back, I did really learn a lot from this workshop, it costs me a lot, RM3497, which is around $1,000! However, I tell myself that I’m going to make this a worthy investment, I’m going to earn back even more money, triple the amount!

I started my internet marketing journey last year, somewhere in May. I did not earn much, but I did learn a lot. The amount of money that I made from the internet is just peanuts if to compare with other successful internet marketers. However, it is a great start for me. I know that if I want to achieve much more, I’ll have to spend more time and take more action to make it happen.

Below are some photos taken during my workshop:

Real Internet Income Workshop

Photo taken with Zack, one of Ewen’s support team member. A very enthusiasm support member and a very helpful friend. Glad to know him in this workshop. In fact, I was amazed the moment I approached Zack and he told me that he knew me through EzineArticles. What a coincidence!

Real Internet Income Workshop

Another photo taken with some of the new-found friends in the workshop. That guy wearing a black coat is the world’s number one super affiliate. Can you imagine that? I mean, he’s just a normal guy after all. But he managed to make so much money from the internet and became a multi-millionaire. He has the same talent just like you and me, what makes him so different is that he is very determined and very committed in doing his online business.

And that is exactly what you need in order to be successful in your life. What I want to say is that, some people are earning millions of dollars a year, while some people are only earning peanuts a year. Why is this so? Do those successful people work more than 24 hours a day? No, you know that we all have the same 24 hours a day. Then is it because successful people work 1000% more smarter than us? No, you know that we all have the same brain and our mind function in the same way!

So what makes successful people so successful? They are not god. The answer is this, they get the necessary things done. One of the phrase that Ewen told me during the workshop is this, “Success Is About Getting Things Done”. And this phrase keeps on floating on my mind. You just take some time and think about it yourself.

Real Internet Income Workshop

One on one photo taken with Ewen Chia.

So have you ever attended any workshop or seminar before? No matter what industry you are in, there must be a role model that you can replicate. You know, by learning through somebody who already succeeded in your field, you are actually short-cutting the learning edge, you are avoiding all the mistakes that most people will do and you are following the right step and direction to success.

That is why workshop or seminar kind of courses are so important. If you are serious in achieving your goals and dreams, you must be committed to do whatever it takes to achieve it. Just like if you plan on to make your first pot of gold from investing in real-estate, then look for idol guru and learn from him or her. If he or she conducts seminar or workshop, put down everything at hand and attend it.

I hope that this is going to inspire you. I’ll see you at top!

Cheers, last month, 31st August, I was featured in EzineArticle’s blog. If you are someone who is active in internet marketing or article marketing, you will know what EzineArticles is all about. In fact, EzineArticles is one of the most popular article directories out there on the internet.

Shawn Was Featured On EzineArticles!

I’m happy and inspired the moment I received the notification email from EzineArticles telling me that I was featured in their blog! What a great news to me. If I do this, so can you! I’m sharing you this is not to impress you or to show off. I’m sharing you this because I want to inspire you, if I can do this, why not you?

My English is not as good as someone out there, but still, I can write and get featured in EzineArticles. Therefore, nothing is impossible. If you have the conviction, you will definitely achieve what you want in your life.

Here is a quote that I grabbed from the post there:

Shawn Lim is an aspiring internet entrepreneur and blogger in the success and wealth creation field. He believes that the true “secrets” to becoming an internet millionaire are hard work and smart strategies and hopes that his articles inspire his readers.

What makes Shawn Lim an Ideal EzineArticles Author?

  2. Easy to read article body formatting with clear introduction, body and conclusion paragraphs.
  3. Consistently delivers on his article title promise.
  4. Extended Author Bio and Photo uploaded.

So you see, everything is possible if you are willing to do it. So take action and continually pursue the great success you always wanted in your life. You see results coming in and you will notice that you are moving closer toward your goals each and everyday.

Success is about getting things done, if you are not taking any action, nothing is going to happen. I hope that this post can inspire you to take more action and achieve greater results in your life…

Lately I received an email from a reader, he says that he wanted to dedicate a poem to me and all the loyal readers of my blog, The Millionaire Secrets. I can’t thank him enough for sending me that email. Now only I know that my blog has really inspired a lot of people and I hope this can keep on going for the better. I do really hope that you are reading this because this poem is also dedicated to you, the reader!

This poem was written by Dr. Kent M. Keith and is on the wall in Calcutta where mother Theresa lived. However, it has been modified to blend into the topic of my blog.

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

I really hope that this poem inspire and benefit you in your journey to your success just like me. Thank you Sunahor for bringing up this marvelous poem.

Besides that, I have found a great ‘tool’ that you can use to make yourself committed and inspired all the time. It is called the “Anyway Pledge“. Download it, sign it, and paste it somewhere you can see it often. of course, stick to the principles all the time. If you do so, I believe that you will find yourself moving closer toward the success you have long looking for.

Anyway Pledge

Remember to print it out and sign it. Then paste it on the wall in front of your desk where you can see it often. This is just like in goal setting, be committed and the energy will flow within you.

To Your Success!
