My Phone Interview With Self-Made Success Coach
March 10, 2010
From time to time I will bring on an expert to share with us insights so we can expand out views and see if the new knowledge can support us in our pursuit of an abundant life. This week, our guest Michael Tan speaks on financial literacy and strategy as a crucial ingredient to anyone seeking financial freedom.
Most of us are good in some facets of our lives, whether it is health, work, relationships or finance. There are sub areas within each of these facets where we are very good at and some where we may not have all the latest updates and knowledge. I am always hungry for learning new things. However reading up on all areas takes up time. So I leverage on others.
This week we look at using real estate as a tool towards financial independence. Michael has some fresh insights which he shares with his students who are now making good progress with their investment – even in this economy.
So if you are up for this, just sign up as my guest, join us for a conversation and we look forward to hearing your thoughts and comments on the topic. Sign up for the Free Call on Financial Freedom here. And here's a quick presentation on what you can expect from the call.

An Inspirational Video On Life And Its Transitions
February 22, 2010
I like to start my day with a nice, hot cup of coffee. Ok, I know, not the most healthy thing to do but I allow myself 1 cup a day!
One day I chanced upon this video which so elegantly paints the analogy of life that I just want to share it with you. So go grab your favorite cuppa and enjoy the message here.
By the way, do you have a favorite cup that you use? I know I do. Perhaps try using different cups and see how that feels? That is you in transition. But it is the same coffee, the same you, just a different container surrounding you for the moment.
Hopefully this will help us see external changes (which are beyond our control) as they are. However, do get a good strong cup though, one that holds the coffee well and without cracks.
What do you like most about the video message?
The message that spoke to me is this:
That who we are, and the life that we live is not defined by the environment we find ourselves in – not our jobs (for those in between jobs or starting up your own businesses), not our career or marital statuses (for those in transition and adapting to new phase in life), not even how many followers we have on twitter or facebook!
We are the same person in all these changing circumstances and transitions. Just continue to send off the sweet aroma of life in whatever cup that is holding you now (things do and will change). Live simply, speak kindly, care deeply, love generously! A great tip to manage your work stress!
Nothing against nice China porcelain cups, but whatever cup you are using now is fine. Coffee Lovers go for the aroma and the taste and not the cup!
You can join me here for the most recent updates as I am spending a little more time on facebook, it allows for quick updates when I do not have time to write a full length article. Oh and do press the share this button or retweet this to pass on this beautiful message!
Google, Bing, Twitter, Facebook And What That Means
February 20, 2010
If you have been using the internet for sometime, you will know that changes happen every so often. Policies change and we, the users are affected. It also means that we either keep up or be left behind (or along the sideway).
As it turns out, there has been quite some chatter lately. Small business owners who are just starting their business as well as seasoned marketers have heard (or have been effected by) the recent Google changes, Visa/Mastercard crackdown as well as much stricter FTC regulations. We now have stricter guidelines to follow when using endorsements.
What causes these crack downs? No one really knows. Many are going around with questions and concern on their mind. Some have been "hit" and still do not know why. Just how do you keep up with and make sense of all the changes? Every day, my inbox is filled and I must confess that the past week I spent more time reading and catching up then doing productive work!
Fortunately, there are industry leaders and experts who keep themselves updated on the latest. They do the research and have the connections and will be able to provide us with answers. They can suggest new strategies for the new game plan moving forward.
These issues will be addressed and answered in March. You will know what you can or can not do and what you should do. Armand will be holding a Live Event for three days to address these issues. Armand is an authoritative and familiar figure in the Internet Marketing world and certainly no stranger to those of us in Singapore and Malaysia.
For three days, he will talk on new marketing strategies in the light of these changes. He will also talk on harnessing the use of social media and Bing. Judging by what has been shared in the preview video, he is going to cover a lot of material both to the newbies as well as the seasoned marketers. You will want to watch the video here.
So are you going to start making plans to go to LA? There is nothing like live events. The energy as well as the meeting of like-minded people makes the learning so much more fun and relevant. Watch this video now and learn how to change with the tide and tap into new tools for your online business.
