Hey people,

I was speaking at Brand Mastery over the weekend (or Sunday afternoon specifically) and I really had a blast. Not least for the fact that the fine audience were cool with me going WTF on stage (no kidding!) and having a laugh at the same time.

Here are the fine people who don’t mind having Hollywood action speech being used in a seminar (buahahahah!):

I didn’t give the usual Internet marketing formula because the majority of the blokes in the room already had their successful offline businesses of their own. So I had to tailor my presentation towards how they could use IM in a way which would complement their current marketing strategies. As compared to teaching someone how to start an online business from scratch, which is slightly different.

Well, I really do hope I gave enough great value and tips on how businesses can improve their web design and conversion processes online. And ahhh… WTF

Before I found my big break in Internet marketing, I was down in the dumps.

I had just finished my National Service and I had not much of an idea about what I actually wanted to do. All I knew was that I wanted to be IN CONTROL of my time. Because to me ‘time = life’, and I decided never going to cede ownership of that to anyone else (besides the wife, maybe).

After over two years in NS, I decided I had enough of having someone exerting nearly absolute authority over me because of the insignia he carries. So quite logically, chasing a high-paying 9-5 job (or 9-9!) was never on the top of my list. I’d take a lower salary and a RICHER lifestyle any day.

And besides you don’t really need loads of money to do that things you really want to do (unless you love big boats, caviar, and four women with you all the time). And you don’t really need all that stuff, do you?

I realized that what most people are chasing for nowadays is not always money, but time. And today I’m grateful to say I’m in control of mine.

But back to the story… Read more »

Yes, I’m now 25.

And my Mum keeps congratulating me for reaching this quarter milestone in my life. Where I usually retort, “So you expect me to live till a hundred lah…”

Anyway, this post is a little belated. My birthday just passed 4 hours ago, but then I thought I’d share the news with the world. So if you’re reading this, you owe me a birthday gift! muahahhaha! (tough luck landing on a narcissist’s blog).

But I’ll make it real easy for you. Leave a saccharine-laced, goody-two-shoes comment on my blog wishing me long life, wealth, health, two Ferrari’s, a private jet, many descendants, my clan to prosper, etc etc, and I’d actually be more than delighted with that. Seriously. It’d make my day…

So anyway, I hope you have a great day too.

Live well.

I actually had my first formal introduction to investing back in Oct 2005 when I attended Adam Khoo’s Wealth Academy. I grasped the concepts and all the financial mumbo jumbo pretty well, and got pretty excited about getting started.

Which I didn’t…

I had the knowledge, all the information, support, and resources BUT I just never got round to doing it. It was like one of those things where you go, “Yes I know I need to lose weight…” but knowing isn’t good enough is it?

So finally after TWO years of procrastinating, I finally bought my very first stock.

I was out shopping for a ceiling fan for my new room last week (yes, I’m shifting…) and I walked into one fan shop along Jalan Besar to browse around.

Immediately when I entered the shop, this really frenetic sales guy came up to me and asked what I was looking for. And so I told him I was looking for a ceiling fan. The moment I finished my sentence, this joker instantly started pointing this fan that was mounted on his shop and told me I could get that fan.

It was certified, reliable, long-lasting, blah blah blah, he kept on telling me how great that fan was and he kept on going on and on and on about why I should that fan of his. Man, he could talk!

And so I just stood there half-trying to understand what he was saying (he was speaking in mandarin… and I’m not very smart there) and half-trying not to look pissed/amused/bewildered all at the same time.

I finally realized why I stopped blogging for more than a month some time back.

I just did not have anything to share with you guys (unless you want all the sordid details of my personal life!). Anyway, back then I totally had no interest in blogging because I really had nothing interesting to talk about. Zilch.

And the reason’s simple…

Ha! I love the pompous titles I give myself!

Anyway, I was coaching Wealth Academy over the weekend (again…) and I really a great time going back late, waking up early and cursing in the shower - all in the name of peerless commitment.

Seriously, I had a great time because of the people I worked with over the weekend. I was Program Director for the whole seminar and I really had an enjoyable time managing my fellow coaches coordinating the whole event together behind the scenes. But the part I loved the most was just arrowing people to do stuff for me. Fantastic! The power’s intoxicating…

Anyway, here’s a nice shot of the coaches:

I’m the handsome one in the middle.

To Stan, Schnitzer, Roland, Kiat How, Melina, Chris, Zand, Laurence, Alicia, Henry, Wei Ping, Peter, Eeyan, Jeremy, Prantik, Jun De, Velika, Adrian, Joshua, Jack, and of course, my Assistant Program Director, Felicia. Thank you all for the time, effort, commitment and for being such a great team to manage the whole 4 days at the program.

I sincerely hope you all had an awesome time and that you didn’t mind me arrowing you guys all the time. haha!
