Lets play… The Game Of Life!

Life is like a game. The objective of life is to win it.
There are many levels in life. Each level has its own boss and difficulty level. These are obstacles in life. Our job is to defeat the boss.
Whenever we get stuck in a level, its time to sought help from others. This can be in the form of getting tips of friends who have already passed the level or working together to pass a particular level.

There are many levels. It could be Family Level 1, Friends Level 2, Love Level 3 or Business level 48. Each time we pass a level, we will move on to the next. Sometimes in order to pass a certain level, we need to pass levels from different categories first. Sometimes, we have to revisit earlier levels to re-learn things we forget.

Like all games, the purpose of games is entertainment or enjoyment. Thats why, we must always enjoy the game of life. Don’t get too frustrated over one level. Revisit older levels and remind yourself of your previous achievements. Even if you can’t pass level 10 of Career, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be proud that you are at much higher levels of other categories.

I play the Game Of Life to win.

So… do you wanna play?

I’m glad to have been a participant at Edmund Loh and Elle Wong’s IM Weekend Workshop. The workshop lasted 2 whole days starting from 10am to 6pm.

Despite Malaysia’s wonderful reputation on punctuality, most of the participants were either early or on time. Things started off abit shaky but sooned everyone warmed up to Edmund and Elle’s friendly and humorous personalities. The speakers held nothing back as they guided us step by step through every module that they taught, citing hands-on examples online and engaging participants to do the same through their laptops. Edmund also pointed out many mistakes that he made throughout his internet marketing career and saved us the trouble of having to go through the same pain, anguish and frustration that he did.

Both speakers portrayed different speaking styles which complemented each other throughout the workshop. Edmund inspired the participants through his stories of rags-to-riches and did not hesitate to answer any queires from the crowd. Elle was an excellent public speaker whom portrayed professionalism, confidence and also power in her sessions and gave the participants many useful insights into her expertise.

Things took an interesting turn when Edmund announced a contest among the participants to design the best sales copy page in a given scenario. The participants were fired up and learnt alot from each other when Edmund critiqued the pros and cons of the sales letters one by one. The winning team was given a free PLR membership on one of his sites.

Towards the end of the workshop, Edmund motivated his participants to take action and generously offered free hosting to participants who took immediate action by signing up for a paid domain name. The workshop ended with participants leaving with each others contacts and who knows, they might become the upcoming stars of the internet marketing arena.

In a nutshell, kudos to Edmund and Elle for organising a really helpful and enjoyable Internet Marketing Workshop. If you guys ever decide to hold another workshop, i’ll be sure to be the first to sign up! =)

I was in the “make-money- online” mode on this gloomy Friday afternoon when I stumbled upon a blog of an old friend, Phaik Leng. (Sorry, till now I still can’t spell your name correctly). With today’s cyberspace filled with bimbo blogs, mimbo blogs, emo blogs and money making blogs, very rarely do we come across sincere, heartwarming, down to earth blogs where people communicate their thoughts transparently with such grace and granduer, fearless of intrusion by strangers or what other may think.

Funny story actually, I was never close to her in university days. We occasionally greet with “hi-byes” and small talk but she always had this sincere smile that doesn’t look forced. When I went to the Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar by T. Harv Eker, I was suprised to see her there, especially when she related a sad story about money she had in front of a 3,000 strong crowd. We chatted for awhile and parted our own ways but that short reunion reminded me that we are not alone in life’s struggles.

Anyway, the reason i’m blogging about this is because I was touched by her post The Sun Is Smiling. Really learnt a valuable lesson from it. Why not you guys go on and have a read and leave a comment – tell me what you think. To PL – Keep up the brilliant posts! I will be reading from afar

2.40 am from the computer of the TDM room at the pharmacy.

I have decided that I am no longer going to apply for the Mdec Preseed Grant for now. Truth be told, i’ve come to realised that dealing with the government is too troublesome and I much prefer to be my own boss so that I get to set the rules.

Therefore, I have decided to go back and focus full time on something I have neglected for quite awhile – Internet Marketing. The truth is, Internet Marketing is just another way to make a living just like Real Estate, MLMs and Selling insurance.

However, I really like Internet Marketing because of the flexibility it allows. You can work from home or anywhere with your laptop and an internet connection. Coupled by the fact that im really fascinated by the Internet and the speed its evolving. Past generations didn’t have the internet and although more and more people are using it to monetize, I believe there’s alot more potential out there to be tapped into.

On a related note, I just want to say i’m really grateful for the people around me who support me no matter what I do. You guys know who you are… Thank you. I promise I won’t let you guys or myself down. =)

P.S I’m going for Edmund and Elle’s Internet Marketing Workshop this weekend. Whoever is interested can check it out here.  Early birds get a 2 for the price of one totalled at RM588. Drop me a shout if you are going as well!
