I’m starting over. Getting my fitness going by doing Crossfit exercises, and also getting myself active in online marketing again. Sitting here at Starbucks at Central here in Singapore near Clarke Quay, i, finally have the time to sit back and relax, while thinking about wad have i done so far and what i plan to do for my future. I am pretty sure that, i’ve done this lots of times. And I don’t have any excuses for not carrying out my plans to the letter.

To quote Robert Kiyosaki, i think one of the hardest things we face when we go through life is sticking with a plan. And i wrote and reviewed plans again and again, but nothing really sticks, or rather i have not really found something compelling in myself and my own desires to stick to such a plan. So far, i’ve successfully completed an attempt to carry out affiliate launches marketing as a business method. Yes it was a failure, in terms of not delivering satisfying results as to what i forecasted initially…(A single commission sale, and even that was refunded by the purchaser.) And it sucks to be dejected when I face results like that and as such. So with the school work piling on my back, i decided to lay it aside for the moment.

Yet, something about leaving it like that really makes it feel like i have some unfinished business with making money on the internet. No its not to appear antagonistic with it. It’s just that i feel and i know i can achieve significant results. I mean various average joes have done that and are living very free lives as we know it, through the power of the internet. From the Ebay millionaires, through social networking and search engine creators, ala Brin and Page.

But they all have a reason, or several compelling reasons to get through and achieve wad they want don’t they? I mean, we don’t have to look through the internet, In Singapore, there is this snack food chain called Old Chang Kee, which by all appearances looks successful in selling their fast food snacks. I wonder if they have their reasons as to why and how they succeed. I would surely love to know. But i too have to create my own reasons for my own success and my own goals. And perhaps thats what help these people progress through failures and difficulties…

So what are my reasons…i think i need a night or two to actually figure this out, and plan ahead into the future. I cant just step out and say, go through my job and hope i can retire on savings, i don’t think the current global environment functions that way anymore. I need to find my reasons…and i’ll find it, and define it…

Cheers,

I’ve left this blog hanging for a while, and now i need to restart again…And im scared for restarting honestly…

Why am i scared?

1) I havent really touched Online business creation for a while now.

2) Studies really took alot of my time along with projects…(I know about time management and all, yet my  family structure is slightly different from others, where i bet their families dun really place responsibilities on their shoulders…i do)

3) Restarting means relearning…and that means looking and going back to basics…

4) Mistakes i made, in the creation of the business…priceless…just dont want to do those mistakes again…and just keep moving forward.

So im going to gather all the experience i’ve learnt and apply it to the stuff im doing now…for my future, for our future..

And theres also a saying that i hold now

“Those who bring benefit to alot of people are the best of people”

Cheerios…will update more regularly now

I’m now in school and now still waiting for my project mate to come along and discuss with me the details of the project…(He’s late and i have another appointment at 12…)

But since i have the time to burn, might i update all followers on what exactly has been happening in my business venture

I’m currently working towards building and monetizing a list. I haven’t really been getting as involved as i would like to..(Due to study commitments and the lot)…But it is well under way. now all i have to do is pick a method. All which i plan to get done at bout tomorrow.

I will stick with this through. I know i can make it.

Cheers

This is technically a new system that i got from Ewen Chia, but it is not really new. Honestly, This is an extension of the first IM product i bought from him and that was Secret Affiliate Weapon 2…(For those who need the link to that product and it is wonderful, CLICK HERE)…

Honestly, SAW 2 does bring in nicely and introduces people and newbies…(Who i was 4 months ago, and still am)…to the world of Affiliate Marketing. And it is effective, but i found it lacks something about list building. I mean sure, selling affiliate products is something that is wonderful and indeed a very simple thing to do…(with practice my friends. with practice)…

But what i find difficult was maintaining the same amount of income and transactions and income from affiliate sales. Sure it was wonderful in terms of helping people about in their daily business. But i am looking into doing something personal, that will help me connect with people. That is what i want to do. Build long lasting relationships with people around the world. I just don’t like the idea of not knowing my clients and their needs.

And for that i need to build a list. Why? A list, allows me to make sure i can remain in contact with my clients and customers on a personal level. Okay, this may sound touchy feely, but i realise how important it is to people that they want to feel understood and allowed the freedom to express their views about anything in any way. And i think this is key. It is not about selling the highest products or what not. Ultimately, it is about building the relationship and maintaining a high level of trust and integrity with my Clients.

That is what i aim to do and that is what i plan.

Well enough chat. Im heading to bed. cheers peeps

Hey guys, hope you’ve been following along. I know it has been more than a month since i last updated my blog, but i’ve been bogged down with work and all it sort of goes like this…

1) My prof. marooned me into doing some research during my school term break. Hence with no choice, (and the prospect of listening to some really cool material about Indonesia)… I had to jump on and do translations from Bahasa to English. A lot of work, but interesting nonetheless.

2) I’ve been learning as much as possible. Now im looking at how currencies and irresponsible spending of teh US Federal Reserve is actually causing some problems…(Then again, “some problems” is a huge understatement)…for the global economy, till now states and economies are in a catch 22 situation. Nonetheless, i’m investing in commodities, particularly silver. My friends, Precious metals might be the next investment boom. And that is not opinion. That is fact. Look up books on Silver investing or even Gold if you have the capital to do so.

3) I am also brushing up skills of running an internet business. Its been a rough ride to be honest. I’ve been working that crank for a long time, with full confidence, but nothing’s coming out of it. But i’m not giving up. Im gonna stick with it and pull my way through.

Well thats all for now. I gotta go for a picnic. Cheers

Beginning today i start with something new. I realise all the information i’ve been gathering since i was 15 was mostly about how to make money. And i thought that, “hey, this method is the best, or that method is the best”…not anymore. It’s not that simple as always i guess.

The thing i realised now is that…ALL the methods work. I just have to focus on one to succeed and blast it till i succeed. Hence some of the things i wanted to do haven’t really moved into fruition. I guess i need the focus, the aimed precise focus to tackle the issue. I really wish to increase my asset column. And have my passive income flowing through.

Hence this is what i aim to do. I aim to increase my asset column as in order to earn passive.

And i wish to do it through teaching and tutoring.

I can only teach one person…

But with a book…i can reach millions…

So thats my aim…

Before i graduate, i’ll write a book..

“TUTORING HELP!!! Tips for parents and tutors on how to tutor children in their subjects”

I’m going to bank on my experiences as a tutor and also tap on experiences of others in Singapore who have been tutors. I’ll be updating here in order to get my thoughts laid out and clear…now going to plan the book. So cheers peeps…

I will finish this first…use the ideas and progress…

Im back and running and restarting my journey. I had to stop for a while as i had projects and exams in the previous month to prepare. But no matter. I just prayed i did well. Im aiming high and hoping that i got good grades. I love geography dun get me wrong. I’d just like to get started back asap.

Im technically back to square one again. Just to keep you guys updated as to what exactly is happening to me currently, i just made my first clickbank sale a few weeks ago….but unfortunately, the guy refunded a week after buying so it went back to zilch. But no matter. Getting that first sale was nonetheless an important step. And also an important achievement for me. It made two – three months worth of work feel much more worth it. I feel happy enough.

Yet if you ask me whether i feel satisfied, i am utterly not satisfied. Im not satisfied at the result of this. Im not satisfied at just getting a paycheck like that only for that month…(Or none as it is refunded)…I feel slightly down that my efforts and eye bags only brought me this much results.

Yet i look around me and i see…lots of people who are older then me, and younger then me, getting ahead in this business…and they’re ordinary folk, just like me…who want a better life. I always read that the pathway to being wealthy spiritually and mentally is a process, one that can be painful and disappointing, but ultimately rewarding. Well, experiencing it now, it is painful when all the hours i’ve spent on this campaign didn’t really unfold well. Yet it taught me lessons that i realized i have to work on. I mean it is viable…just that thing up there alone of how much i got is proof, but its just a process that one has to stick through.

Hence that’s what i’ll do. I’ll stick through this process and tweak it accordingly. I won’t give up. (Damn, i sound like Naruto…haha)

Till next time, Cheers

Since i have some time to burn might as well give my latest updates about how to start a business and get this financial investment going.

I’ve just made my first clickbank sale…and I HAVE MY FIRST DOLLAR EARNED ALREADY!!! WOOT!!!

Its really a winning moment in my life. I have to admit it had to take alot of blind faith to actually get there, but hell yeah!!! i got it…:)

Im only in the midst of exam preparation. I admit, initially i wanted to be a volcanologist…but here in sunny Singapore, i dun think thats possible as there’re no volcanoes…(but there are in other countries like Indonesia)…so i wont be updating as much…

Cheers guys…

I havent really been prompt updating my blog here, cause the following week is my exams….so i gonna just dig in here and study…

No its not because im looking for job security…its because i LOVE Geography alot, and its so multi-dimensional that i enjoy it…so cheers and hang in there guys…I’ll be out and blogging soon…

I’ve been reading Robert Kiyosaki’s “Before You Quit Your Job”. Well, since im set on starting a business, why not start with a some sort of guide from someone whos been there and done that?

Well, i’ve read his other books and honestly, im really a fan and really revere this man’s mission of increasing the financial literacy of people around the world through his books and his absolutely excellent board game CASHFLOW. But what struck me in the book was how he described something called spiritual money.

You see, Mr. Kiyosaki identified three types of money which people work for. One is Competitive Money. This is the money which most people work for, where we compete with each other. An example is how we work it out in a job. The second is known as Cooperative Money. This money is created through basically cooperation in teams created by entrepreneurs, in short, money that is earned through teamwork.

The third and the most lasting is what he calls Spiritual Money. According to him, its something that will drive us to doing it everyday. not really doing something that you love. Thats not enough. Rather, you’re doing something, cause you feel that you absolutely need to do it. And if you dont, you strongly believe that the world will be worst off. Some people have found it perhaps. But for me…i’ll keep searching

I mean, its not enough if i say i want to help people. Rather then just say i want to help people, another question is how do you go about helping people? I thought doing MLM would be great, but as my previous experience, its not something that rings well with me. At least till i was thinking about what i was most comfortable with these last few months.

I realised i feel very much at home when im addressing self esteem issues and self confidence issues of other people. That i really feel almost infuriated when someone just doesn’t wake up his own self esteem and just prefers to wallow in self grief. I really believe that people would be better off if only they can just look at themselves in a more positive light.

And hence thats what i’ll focus my list building efforts on. My first niche is…confidence building…thats what i feel i can contribute to people well, and thats what i hope and wish to do.

Cheers peeps
