So yesterday night I was taking one of my “power naps” as usual and I got someone to wake me in an hours time. What happened was when I received the call I was mumbling stuff which I didn’t even remember the next day and it involved me being moody.

I felt really bad but more importantly it helped me to realize one thing. I have not yet conditioned myself for “hardship”. Subconsciously, I would rather sleep in and scold anyone trying to take me  (or wake me) from my comfort zone. It really hit me just like that. I’m just not motivated and my mind isn’t strong enough to do the things I need to do to succeed in life. Well, i’ve made up my mind. Im going to work even harder than ever to achieve my goals and also be constantly outside my comfort zone. In the words of T. Harv Eker – If you’re still in your comfort zone it means that you are not growing.

Thank you for helping me realize this in my life, and sorry for scolding you on the phone.

The coming week is going to be insane. But yet I feel super excited now despite working during the weekend (offline and online )

Anyway, here are my goals for the coming week(s):

1) Apply for MDEC Pre-seed Grant

2)Build my business plan for the grant by researching up in the hospital, talking to bosses etc.

3) ***TOP SECRET***

4) Own the Pertandingan Mencipta Logo Jabatan Farmasi

5) Make the most mind-blowing CPE Session this coming thursday

6) Start creating my paid product

Sounds super hectic doesn’t it ? But i’m not deterred one bit. In fact, i’m more fired up than ever! I just finished reading The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and I must say the book really re-enforced the stuff I learnt at the seminar. I shall commit to re-reading it every month! And guys, I think i just found the secret to staying motivated. The secret is to constantly step out from your comfort zone. How? Just look at the list of things I have to do this week. It started with 2 damnit. The key is to keep challenging myself with more and more tasks to keep me on my toes. I can’t wait to see the results!

Excitedly,

Khai

My parents have voiced their concerns to me via email about the challenge i am pursuing. To be honest, when I decided to announce this challenge, I expected mixed responses from my family, friends and even other like minded internet marketers. Some have been encouraging while others have sneered at me. This has not deterred me one bit as I am open to all forms of criticism and encouragement. For those who support me, you have my thanks. =)

My family has all reason to worry about my sudden intentions. for 22 years, they have fed, sheltered and paid for my education – all the way until I proudly hold my Pharmacy Scroll among the Glasgow Winds. For that, mum and dad, I will never be able to repay your debt. No words can express my gratitude for all that you have given me.

I have sent an email to my parents clarifying that I am not giving up my degree nor do i intend on letting them down. I am taking this challenge because I have a dream. I believe that people should be able to pursue their passions freely and live life to their full potential. I believe that people should seize every oppurtunity to work towards a happier and more fulfilling life.

I’ve got nothing to lose, only time. Speaking about time, i’m typing this blog post while waiting for wordpress to load. The internet connection here is horrible – but just a minor setback.

Dear Khaiyong,

I hereby challenge you to QUIT your 8-5 job by the end of your 1 year term at the hospital.

You have until November 17, 2009 to prove that you can have a stable online home business running on minimal hours a day. Thereby allowing you to double triple your success when you work on it full time.

Failure to complete the challenge will result in you living in suburban, internet-less conditions, working 8-6 shifts facing sick patients in an un-airconditioned environment. Do you accept?

So far mum has made 3 sales! Not bad. And guess what? She even got on Malay Mail!

Goes to show what a little creativity and bring you. Go check Honestees out if you havent!

Have you ever wanted to achieve something badly… but always give yourself excuses such as – No time lar, not enough money, too busy with girlfriend etc…?

Bullcrap I say. If you really want it that badly, nothing can stop you from getting it. Not even severe lack of sleep. I know of Doctors who sleep  3 hours a day but yet still are able to function properly (they treat sick people for goodness sake!).

Why procrastinate? Every step you take brings you closer to your ideal lifestyle. The life you want… A happy life. Life is too short to be spent unsatisfied. Readers! I urge you now to do everything you can to get the life you want. Work hard now so you will have easy days ahead! (not when your 60 and too old to enjoy it).

Ok… So upon launching my personal blog, it got more visits than what my business blog could get in a week

I guess i’m more famous than I thought (That’s looking at things in a positive manner).

So I was talking to one of my friends last night. My senior actually, and she was relating to me how stressed out she is and how I wouldn’t understand because i’m not in her shoes yet etc yada yada.

Well, i’ve been getting the “Senior-Rap” my whole life so im pretty immune to it by now =) By what I want to say is, EVERYONE GOES THROUGH HARD TIMES.

It’s how you want to handle it. So what if you got more work than me? Heck, you think I like being in Johor in the first place whereas my friends get to work in KL? You shouldn’t compare. Someone… somewhere out there is definitely going through something worse than you. Some people don’t even have legs!

Anyway, this isn’t a ranty-angry post. All I want to point out is.. if you’re unhappy with your life – Do something about it rather than complain. I know I am. What about you?

Got this from a book I was reading:

“We all develop routines, often forgetting what first motivated us toward a particular goal or even what our goals are. For this reason, we periodically need new motivation to help us break out of our routines and set and achieve goals”

My comments: SO TRUE! I often lose sight of what my long term goals are. So what I did was I wrote them all down on a huge piece of mahjong paper and stick it on my wall (using blue-tac of course, don’t wanna spoil the paint). Do you guys have any ideas to motivate yourself every now and then? Share them with me!
