I attended a training last October. It was a truely experiential warrior camp.
During the camp, it was like a mirror. To show who we really are when under high pressure or fear or even at difficult situation.
We learnt how to be a warrior of our life. A true warrior is not one who conquer other people but who conquer oneself to be a better person in life.
I realised that everyday, every moment there will be different challenges for us to take and decisions for us to make. If one person has clarity on what one wants to achieve or becoming, by keep focusing on that goal and keep persueing the goal, he or she will finally succeed.
Knowing the above statement is almost a common sense to many. However, practising it will take a change in mental toughness and cultivating such habit.
I recently conducted a workshop. However, my team and I did not spend much time for the publicity. The number of interested participant was unsually low even it was a couple of days before the workshop.
Knowing that calling off the workshop would be an easier way out then continue to try hard to make things happened. However, I put what I learnt from the warrior camp into this context. "A warrior do everything at 100%!" I decided to persist on making the workshop to continue.
My team member asked me, "are we going to continue with the workshop? Should we prepare for tomorrow"
My answer was, "if we give up this time, we can give up many times for the rest of our life".
It's just like in the movie, Glory Road, the coach Hutskin told the player, Shed, "we don't not back off from this defence box!"
Of course, by holding on the belief that the workshop will go on, we continue to make phone calls and confirmation of participants.
The next day, we finally make the workshop run pretty smoothly and in fact the result was 200% more than our original target.
If we would have cancel the workshop the night before the workshop, we wouldn't have chance to see fruitful results. I guess this "tough situation" that test our belief system will happen many many times in our life.
I come to the realisation that successful people is not somebody achieving great things overnight. But successful person has the habit of completing everything he started, no matter how small a thing. That includes keeping promises and be on time to appointment. This is what I think, a true warrior of the light.
With year 2009 just a few days ahead, it's time to really have a moment with myself and access what I have done over the year of 2008. It's good time to have clarity of the goals that I want to achieve in year 2009.
Many would expect tough challenges ahead in year 2009. However, I would ask myself what is the opportunity waiting for me.

Success through crisis
Recently I get to received an award for contributing in a business networking organisation. It's called Givers Gain Award.
I started to think, will I have a chance to get this award 2 years ago? Probably not.
Two years ago, the group I was attached with are still up and running with many zest.
However, over the last year, things started to change and the business network group I am associated with started to shrink to miserable size.
Many 'potential' star performers chose to leave the group or find a greener patch while there are a few of hard core low profile people like me chose to stay on and rebuild the team. I even had a senior advised me to give up and join another team. Of course, it was very tempting to join another established group to gain instant gratification.
However, I guess there are certain core qualities in each individual. The six of us chose to stay on and rebuild the team. We do not want to abondone our teamate just to find a greener patch elsewhere. That time, our energy was low, we were exhausting our contacts and every efforts we try to bringing new blood seems not bearing any result.
Will we see light at the end of the tunnel?
I guess success is really a self belief that makes us persevere. Do we believe that we have the capability to turn things around and be successful? Many people chose the easier path, quit.
Success is the ability to persevere until our time has come.
Deep down our heart we know what we capable to do. I still remember success guru, T. Harv Eker says that, "successful people have the habit of complete everything they start". Ya, I think that's the reason we chose to stick together and continue to persevere.
For all of us who stayed on and successfully rebuilding our team, I shall call them the true hero.
Only through crisis, a character is shown.
Only through crisis, we test our mental toughness.
Only through crisis we have clarity what we want.
Only through crisis, we define who we are and what we capable to do.
Only through crisis, we create success.
Crisis, is not a bad word after all!
p/s: I consider this is meaningful success to me and my teamate. Success breeds success!

How I used law of attraction to help my partner
Last week, my partners and I returned from a business and leisure trip form Taiwan. We were exposed with a "Opportunity of a Lifetime", a truelly, simple Passive Income Generator! All of us were so excited about that and we can't help sharing with our friends when we reached home.
We know that this thing is really a revolution to the our industry and it's really a CRAZY OFFER! One of my partners was so excited that within two days, she has 10 potential deal to be closed.
However, while she was walking towards the train station, she suddenly said, "What if I have zero result?"
This is really the FEAR factor coming in. What I did was spending 10 min with her, using a very SIMPLE and useful visualisation technique which I uses frequently, let her see what's going on within her.
Instantly, she realized what is stopping her is not the outside world but herself. She understand how her feeling towards money and success is affecting her result. (Thoughts leads to feeling, feeling leads to action, action leads to result)
Shortly after the 10 min coaching session,
I asked her "Are you attracting what you want?"
She just smiling and say "I understand now."
The next days, she did fantastically at our soft launch event and she has a higher closing rate.
Talking about law of attraction, emotion is one of the key.

Key to Miracles
Somebody sent the following article to me. I think it's is very similar to the famous movie The Secrets. When talking about Law of Attraction, it mentions great deal about the emotion and energy. From my recent experiences, this movie describes some of the keys to Law of attraction too....
By allowing ourselves to love and be loved, it's a good start for attracting miracles. Gratitute is the source of love and being love. Have a successful journey.

Success is achieving win-win-win-win situation
Recently we have an exhibition at Singapore Movie Fiesta. It was a fun, exciting and tiring five days events. However, we learnt some great lessons.
Our exhibition booth attracted the most crowd (according to the organiser). There were many times that our booth were so crowded that we felt that we are under strength. Even though it was a brand awareness campaign, we did make a good sales out of the event. The 169 products really speak for itself.
However, this is what I observed on why we are attracting so many crowd and making a good sales revenue.
1) We make a good massive value outrageous offer to our visitors even before they become our customer.
2) We provide a genuine good quality product. (check out www.beaconlohas.blogspot.com for more information).
3) Our sales personnel are already a good testimonial of the product. That's the reason they can share the goodness of the product genuinely and sincerely.
4) We provide irristable offer for visitors who are interested. They really get lots of value by taking action on the spot.
5) Teamwork and synergy comes from common goal.
6) Even we were not located at the strategic area, we makes things work for us by changing ourselves. By focusing on our goal, the disadvantage in location becomes insignificant.
7) Thinking out of the box allows us to provide greater value to our visitors at almost zero cost.
8) For The Beacon group, not only we achieve tangible sales results and finding new business partner. The personal growth for our members is unmeasurable.
Through the short five days, we were acheiving win-win-win-win situation for our visitors, customers, sponsors and ourselves.

The 169+19 effect is amazing
I was reviewing this video after we shot it in the afternoon. Samto was using Bel'Air 169 Series, 169+19.
Besides the face lifting effect, I realized something interesting. Samto's left eye bag was reduced!!
Watch carefully at the beginning of the video, his left eye bag is slightly bigger then right eye bag.
At 35 secs time, you can see his left eye bag is smaller then his right eye bag. Of course, his left side of the face is less chubby than the right side too.
This amazing!!
Initially, I thought it might be just one off case. I quickly look at the other video I took on another guy in the evening. That was his first time really using the product. (We have to teach him while recording the video).
He tried it on the right side and we see reduction in the eye bag and wrinkle. After tried on both side, both of his eye bag were also reduced within a minute!!
Imagine you use it only once, and you see improvement less then 1 minute!!
What can be the long term benefit if you were to use it regularly everyday?
This is really a revolutionary product for me. Even though I am a guy who is not really into beauty stuff. I would use it because it's simple, easy and natural for the refreshing and cleaning face before I meet my customer of friends.
By spray mist to moisturize my face, I get many benefits, face firming, radiance, face lifting (look younger).
Somebody passed me a bottle of moisturized last night. It was a popular brand that you can find it on retail outlet.
I tried it and it doesn't have the refreshing and firming effect as 169+19.

Last Lecture of a Dying Man
He is a professor from Carnegie Melon University professor who is dying from Pancreatic Cancer.
What he said about in persuing our dreams and goals, we may not achieve our goal exactly but what we gain is experience.
"If someone ride on you, that means he cares"
More importantly the last statement he made about how the dreams will come to him if he live his life "properly".
Lets listen to him... (12 minutes version in Oprah show)
Original full 1 hr 16 min version in Melon University.
Live life the fullest!
en-JOY

Valentine Day success?
What does Valentine's Days has to do with success?
Talking about successful... It doesn't mean have to be something very big...
I went to our clubhouse 'supposely' to help out my friends in setting up the valentine's day dinner event and of course supporting their event by patronising them too.
Even though the people turned out is not fantastic, but I would give these event an "A" because it's a grade "A" experience at the end of the day.
Every dishes presented on my table was a pleasent surprise...
From the "transforming" of normal table to a nice setting, the delicious soup, the nicely decorated chicken chop, the red wine, the rose petals on the table, the chocolate, the photo taking and the rose for the lady as well...

All of these were done with lots of kind and lovely thought...
It was a "wow" after another "wow" in my heart... (Life is full of pleasent surprises when you were least expected)
I won't compare it with fine dining or any other franchise restaurant that was very commercialized, or those trying to 'capitalized' on valentine's day to charge extra.
Those commercialized outlets cannot be compared to this dinner I had. The dinner was served with heart and soul by the people who take pride in what they are doing. Furthermore, it cost you a little but having you in mind to make it a great experience for you.
That is something you won't not get in a typical restaurant.
I still remember Mother Theresa said something like this... "it's not doing the great things but doing the small thing with great love".
Yes, this valentine day dinner is this special "small thing".
Yes, this is a "success" for Valentine's Day for the organiser and the patron.
en-JOY
ps: For those who were invited but could not make it... Too bad, they don't know what they were missing ;-)

Achieving GOAL
I was watching one of the Guerilla Business School Video I bought last year.
The very first video mentioned the importance of having SUCCESSFUL Business Mindset.
The first speaker is the top 25 richest person in USA. He is Bill Bartmann.
In his presentation, he spent significant effort and time mentioning the importance of having Self-Esteem. I hope I can recite the essence of his explaination soon.
Bill was total "failure" by the eye of general public but now he is top 25 richest man in USA.
In his presentation, he brings in a very beautiful concept about achiving GOAL.
He told the audience not to put it as "GOAL" but replace the word with "PROMISE".
The idea is when people think about GOAL, it must be something far or probably not achieveable. Probably, it allows an "option" not to achieve the GOAL.
How about replace the world with "PROMISE"?
In general, people will keep to the "PROMISE" but not "GOAL" because it's a "PROMISE"!!
The very minimal, keep the promise to myself.
Here are the basic steps to achieve any GOAL (PROMISE)
1. Make sure it is your GOAL.
2. Don't call it A goal, call it a "PROMISE"
3. Clearly identify your "PRMOISE" (clariy leads to power)
4. Identify your personal motivator (can be your screaming mother in law...)
5. Create a "PROMISE PLAN"
6. Review your plan regularly
7. Tell yourself that you will succeed
8. Tell others of your "PROMISE"
9. Envision the results (is this related to the "BEING" I mentioned in previous post?)
Hey, I have achieved my "PROMISE" of posting this on the blog.
Hi-5 for me!.. :-)
Til we meet again...
success breeds success!

The "BEING"
I came across many articles, books and video about success in life or businesses or wealth
Most of them emphasis the importance of "BEING".
To my simple understanding the "BEING" means being the kind of person you vision to be when you are successful. It's more like a "state" in mind then the action or doing.
Robert Kiyosaki mentioned in his Rich Dad series book on Be-Do-Have.
Does that mean "Be" the kind of successful person you wish? Followed by DOing the necessary things and habit that "person" will do when he is succesful. Eventually, you will HAVE the things that successful perosn will HAVE.
There is another saying on SUCCESS is a HABIT. So "BEING" also means having the HABIT of successful person?
Similarly, the video "The Secret" also mentions that "BEing" is important.
Even "The Greatest Network Marketer" by John M Ford also mentioned that that person fully experienced the state of "BEing" and his results start to show with ease and EFFORTLESSLY...
Eventually, this person becomes the next Greatest Network Marketer.
That's my understanding about "BEING"
I hope my understanding is right.
Is there any other intepretation about "BEING"???
I hope I can give you all more clarity soon..

Success Breeds Success
It's 2nd day of chinese new year. Time to get started on Success Tree...
As the saying "Success Breeds Success", one way to get Success Tree to add more value is to collect all the success of every individual. There is no success that is too small to be mentioned.
As the saying "Success Breeds Success", one way to get Success Tree to add more value is to collect all the success of every individual. There is no success that is too small to be mentioned.
The best way is to walking the talk.... my success is waking up early in the morning...
I guess another way to add value is to post artichle what I have read so other people will see them also.
Ya, almost forget to mentioned is after the Life Directions training, my Mission is to "connect, touch, serve each individual so that they can have more JOY in their life"
This blends well with Success Tree.. :-)
