There is NO FAILURE, ONLY FEEDBACK

In the previous post, we have read about Susan Boyle, an inspirational 47 years old woman that prove many critics and skeptics very wrong, and announce to the world that “Everything Is Possible”. She has instantly became an Inspirational source for many. She has proved to us that everyone can succeed, if they have beliefs in themselves.

If we can have the same beliefs they do, we will have the ability to produce the same results in our lives.

However, many a times, talents have been discouraged to pursue their dreams due to negative comments, and “labeling”. Many were labeled as “Failures” whether directly or indirectly.

To be successful, we need to believe that there are “NO Failures”, there is only “Feedback”.

Let’s check out another recent video from Britain’s Got Talent (BGT) and see how 12 years old Shaheen treat turn a “not-so-positive comment/gesture” into a “Feedback” to give a world class performance.

Many of us (even adults) would crumple at the gesture given by Simon Cowell (one of the judge).

Shaheen proves everyone wrong by believing he can do it!

PS: Let me know your thoughts on it. I would love to hear from you.

A Great Book with Great Tips to Live Your Life!

Over the last week or so, i was reading a No.1 New York Best-Seller on Self-Improvement known as “The 4-Hour Work Week” by Timothy Ferriss.

Really an awesome book. It empowers us on escaping the 9-5, Live Anywhere and Join the New Rich, where we live everyday to the fullest. We do not believe in Retirements when we are so rich at 5o years old. Instead, we believe in having many many mini-retirements throughout our life.

Who wants that? Highly recommended book for those that want more life than the 9-5 work week, especially for those that aspire to become an entrepreneur.

I seldom recommend books to others, but this one is really special!

Go Get The Book Now! You will be as happy as me. =)

Tips for Personal Development

Halo Readers!

Today we shall cover a little bit of Personal Developments. Personally, i am one that seeks active Personal Developments. Instead of waiting for someone or organization (if you work in one) to develop you, why not invest in yourself with education.

I love to read self-development books (in all areas: Motivation, Business, Sales, Negotiation, Mind Mapping, Creativity, Relationships, etc) as well as attending seminars, conferences and workshops.

Here is 3 main factors that we need to keep in mind if we start to self-develop:

1) Learn Everyday

It is important to block out time everyday to learn something that will move you forward each day in life. It is important to make continual learning a priority in your life everyday – whether it is listening to an audio or video program or reading a book. The compounded effect over time, even it is only 30 minutes a day, will create massive and awesome results in your life long term.

If you read only 30 minutes a day for an entire year, you will have learned more about improving your life in one year than the average person will learn in their adult life. That slight edge and advantage will make all the difference in creating success in your life. Learning is certainly the foundation for all success. It is actually where true success begins.

2) Stay In Peak Psychological State

In order to create power results in your life, you must learn to create a powerful psychological state. When you are tired, lethargic and feel down, it will be very difficult to create positive results. If you want to be in a leadership role, that is even more important. You need to realize that people want to follow a leader who has energy, motivation and enthusiasm.

If you are feeling down or tired, go do something like moving your body, going to the gym or a run, or do whatever you need to get your blood flowing. This is because when you change your physiological state, you also change your psychological state.

3) Dream Big!

Thinking and dreaming is free-of-charge. So why not think and dream Big! Too many people played too safe and tip-toe through life quietly so they can arrive at their grave safely. My personal belief is that at the end of your life, when you have finish your journey through this world, you should be feeling at peace and ease, and fulfilled by having pursued your dreams.

At the end of one’s life, no one ever said they were glad that they have played it safe. Many in fact will have regrets in life why they did not do something. We were are created equal and have the same ability to achieve greatness.

Remember – Do not let anyone steal your dreams away! A life worth living is a life worth fighting for your dreams.

Here is a quote from the famous Theodore Roosevelt:

“Far better is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.”

National Achiever Congress (NAC) 2008 - by Joe Girard

 
Joe Girard
Presenting on: “How to Sell Anything to Anybody”

Joe Girard started very young working while he was studying at the same time, and quited his studying at the 11th grade when his principal call him with a name that he dislikes - in fact he felt that he should be called by his proper name, so that there will be pride in him.

Over the years, Joe had many different jobs, but all did not went well with him. He had been job hunting without success, but on that day he pleaded with the sales manager of a Chevrolet dealership to hire him as a salesman. The manager was reluctant because of his lack of experience and traditionally slow sales in the month of January, but Joe stated that he would only take a desk somewhere in the rear of the dealership and count on the telephone to provide prospects. That evening he sold his first car and borrowed $10 from the manager to bring a bag of groceries home to his family. In his second month he would sell eighteen cars and trucks and was beginning to feel he had a secure breath. Much to his amazement, the owner of the dealership fired him for being too aggressive. Some of the other salesmen had complained.

At this point, Joe knew he could sell cars. He had proved it to himself, and was ready to prove it to the world — including Antonino Gerard, his father (which abuses him emotionally and physically). Joe quickly found employment at Merollis Chevrolet in Eastpointe, Michigan, working at what he did better than anyone else in the world, selling automobiles!

For 12 straight years Joe sold more cars and trucks than any other salesperson. More as an individual than most dealers sell in total. No other salesperson has ever attained this title for more than one year, and not for both cars and trucks. During his fifteen year selling career, he sold 13,001 cars all at retail - no fleet, wholesale or used cars*.

I missed out on buying his Sales Books during the NAC as they were all sold out. Seems like i will have to purchase it online from amazon since most major bookstore in Singapore do not carry much of his books.

Seems like i have identified another mentor that can help me to succeed.

National Achiever Congress (NAC) 2008 - Day 2

Today was an intensive day at the National Achievers Congress but i certainly learned a lot from the world class speakers today.

The day started at 9am with Joel Christopher presenting to us on Internet Marketing related topics on Building Your Master List. Well, he is known to be the “Master List Builder” not for nothing over the years. Can really see his strategies on building up a Master List to sell in world wide web. However, his presentation was not so smooth this morning, marred by several technical issues (powerpoint, sequence) that certainly disrupts his speech. But i can really see a wealth of knowledge in List Building in this guy. For those interested to excel in Internet Marketing, go to him as we know that “Money comes from the length of the list you have”.

After the break, we have a standing ovation welcome for Mr T. Harv Eker, well recognized as the Best Trainer in North America. For those that have been following this Succcess Blogsite, you would have noticed that i am in fact his Protege. What a great Mentor i have here! I have attended his Millionaire Mind Intensive (MMI) 3 days seminar last year which changed my money blueprint drastically. Earlier this year, i have also attended his 5 days workshop on Train The Trainer which was life changing and has a great impact on my career path. He is simple The Man, Mr T. Harv Eker. By the way, i will be attending another of his life-changing workshop called “Guerilla Business Intensive” in June 08.

Ever heard of anyone that are able to sell 5 brand new cars per day for 365 days a year? We are talking about Retail Sales which means people come into showroom to buy one car at a time, and not Wholesales. Yes, there is a man in this world that did just that and he is also the holder of the Guiness Book of World Records for the past 12th years. He presented his speech on “How to Sell Anything to Anybody” and had many stunning moments in that short 2 hrs session with us. One of those is to show us what it takes to be The Best in Selling. Courage Desire and Determination is important and he demonstrated that by climbing high up the ladder - wow…let’s stand up for a guru that is no more younger..

The day ended with Mr Adam Ginsgerg sharing with us on being a eBAY master. He taught us “How to Buy, Sell & Make a Fortune Using eBay”. This is the second time i hear him presenting and i believe he knows a great deal about eBay, and is always kept abreast of the ever changing rules of eBay. Unfortunately, he did not share that much with the audience, and for those that really want to know more about eBay and make a decent living has to sign up with his programs.

That’s all for the day. I will continue to share with you more on the speakers and what i know and learned from them in my later posts.

National Achiever Congress (NAC) 2008 - Day 1

Just came back from Day 1 of the National Acheivers Congress (NAC) 2008 happening in Singapore Expo, Singapore. Awesome event! This is the 1st time that i have attended the much acclaimed National Achievers Congress organized by Success Resources.

I have heard about this event but have all along been skeptical about such motivating seminar and workshops. This year is the 16th times that NAC has been conducted in Singapore and i am glad that i have attended it. Truly inspirational stuff from the speakers that are invited from overseas.

Today we have the following World Class Speakers:

Blair Singer:
“Identifying Where You Are On The Five Power Levels Of Business, Income & Self, and How to Get To The Top Fast”

Roger Hamilton:
“Your Life, Your Legacy”

Steve Linder:
“7 Keys to Achieving Performance”

By the way, i have purchased two of Blair Singers’ bestsellers books on Sales and Building a Performing Sales Team. Eager to read about them.

I will share more with you later on what i have learned from each of the speakers. Stay Tuned.

Visual to help you path towards Success

 (Image by MarkMS)

Everyone wishes to be successful in what they are doing but they do not have a system or process to help them with it. In fact a process or system is essential for them before they can see any form of success.

 VISUALs is what i would think is important to be included as one of the factors in a Process towards Success.

“Law of Intention” states that:

• Where Intention Goes
• Energy Flows
• And Results Shows

It is important for us to chart down & track our progess towards a goal that we have set. We need to make it visual such as using a scoreboard or chart so that we are aware of our own progress actively.

Remember one thing - “Out of Sight –> Out of Mind –> Out of Action”

To be In-Action, we need to keep our goals in sight and measure it constantly.
