Foresight is the foreseeing into the future.

Foresight need not decades of planning, it just requires two-three steps ahead of business competitors. Look at Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs one who revolutionalized the new era of computers, notebooks, and other electronic gadgets for maximum portability.

No longer is it a necessity to have a CPU (central processing unit), monitor and keyboard plus a mouse to make a complete set of operational computer. Now all it needs is a tablet, with touch-screen keyboard, monitor, CPU and even mouse all integrated into one single product which is an excellent idea for maximum portability, convenience for the consumers.

Giving what the customers wants, convenience, portable, cost efficient and productive and multiple functions for convenience and easy storage is exactly what information technology is all about.

From computers to notebooks to palm-top, MP3, MP4, PSP to 3G phones to iPhones. All those are just a natural progression of product cycle life. Innovation and foresight is so important that you can’t do without it. So observe what’s happening around you and who knows you will have a billion dollar idea which you can capitalize on when the time is ripe, with all the right ingredients, soil, elements, environment, farmer, water, right and timing.

Be at the right place at the right time and you will be the next winner. Opportunities are everywhere and anywhere, it solely depends on how you capitalize on your ideas for profit and how it benefits the people around you and the community.

New Year Resolution

posted by ryan

Chinese New Year is round the corner, and every Chinese are busy packing, throwing away unwanted furniture and other items, buying new household items and furniture to refurbish their home giving it a new look.

This is a habit and a culture to do so which everybody feels great of to have new items around their home giving the home a new life etc, but as we change our environment, have we ever tried changing and accepting new ideas, knowledge and different thinking to embrace change and upgrade ourselves or are we stuck in the same old place.

If we are stuck, how to get out, no matter what we do in a stuck position, no matter what we do to ourselves outside will never be able to change what’s happening inside our brain which translate to how much we earn, how we educate ourselves, our kids (for people who have kids) and even talking to our parents etc.

Grandfather, grandmother are picking up skills in community centers learning internet and technology years back already, they are willing to accept and add new knowledge and thinking into their brain, are you doing so? If you are against the idea, being left out, and stay happy being out-dated, that’s the end of everything, because people discuss and talk about how to enjoy themselves, catch what movies, how to make more money, what to wear, where to find unique fashion clothes, good discounts etc.

If you’re not progressing, than all the best, even a New Year can’t save you but if you are committed to making gradual changes to your personal life, thinking, you will find new happiness. Those who slog hard for the company are always putting on a black face helping companies to profit, but they aren’t helping themselves to profit and gain extra sources of wealth, and how receptive or unwilling they are to make changes, than that’s the life that they have to accept.

If you have yet to decide what your New Year resolution is, think of a proper one. If you aspire to be wealthy like a millionaire than find your ways to work with them, if you don’t know the contacts, works with me, I’ll connect you to them since they are my mentors.

Quoting from what I learn from my seniors last time:

“In a group of ten people including you, if you are hanging around with nine millionaires, even if you’re a beggar, it also will not affect your odds of success because you are making friends with millionaires and surrounded by them, you will one day be a millionaire like the nine other millionaires.

However if you are hanging in with nine other beggars, even if you have a millionaire mindset, strategies and concrete step by step methods to help you get there, but hanging around with nine beggars will only squander your wealth away in no time buying, paying and spending in indulging yourself and your friends. “

In short: If you want to be a millionaire, hang around and make friends with millionaires, not beggars who will not spur you on to be successful, instead they will drag you down to suffer with them.

I have made my New Year Resolution, and did just that to work with my mentor, have your made the right decision yet?

Lets see if next year will be a better year for you and I in a much wealthier situation than this year. Huat Ar!!

Media

posted by ryan

Media is the means and platform whereby communications messages and ideas are being carried out and conversed to one another to reach the desired party from a person to the next person.

There are many variations of platforms which communications in different forms get the message passed to us. In keeping up with trends, internet and technology are tied hand in hand and these are the tools which it is widely used by different parties of individuals regardless of gender, wealth status and age group.

It comes from television, newspapers, radio, MP3, podcast, blogs, news release, accounting statements, conversations face to face, over a phone call, videos, short messaging service and body language, eye contact, artistic expression, music, culture, environment and many other platforms.

There’s only so much we can do to capture a specific audience but to increase market share to getting a bigger slice of the market, it’s all about mutual alliance, respect your competitors even if they have flaws, but the rules of the game to wealth and success are simple. Get to learn the unspoken rules required for success before you even attempt to declare claim your status and position at the top spot and gain recognition from the audience.

Success is only truly deserved when you earn it, when others and the majority if not the industry experts honors you with the title to be labeled as a successful individual.  Never ever attempt to break the cycle or you’ll be out of the game in no time without even knowing your own cause of death in the climb for success.

It’s all purely business, and observing the rules of the game. To be successful and rich, you need to learn to master the game, only when you’re the best of the best, than only can you have the ability to write your own rules and let others follow whatever rules you have set in the first place.

The winners of the respective media are making lots of money from advertisement ads at different pricing accordingly. Respective media owners will continue to do what’s best for them, but what’s best for them might not necessary be best for us. Bearing in mind that everyone has their own unique appeal that captures their target audience, so whatever is played, showed, read out, written in different forms are just part of propaganda. Take it with a pinch of salt, and don’t completely buy their idea wholesale. Put on our own respective thinking cap and think for ourselves.

Duplication

posted by ryan

Duplication is a simple action which is similar to copying but with a slight difference between the two words.

Copying is a act of 100 per-cent identical copies of a product/proposal/work. Duplication is the act of modeling after successful master copy and do some minor changes to the newly product giving it a new live and a unique selling proposition exclusively to a targeted group of customers if it’s intended for business.

It is only up to today, actually just a few days back that I finally realized the ease and have a deeper understanding to the term duplication even when I was thought, told and shared about duplication prior to this few days.

The rich get richer is because they are the masters of duplication together with a few other factors in it to make them successful in their own ways.

Success is easily attainable, but to continue to have repeated successes in different businesses, it requires duplication which is use in businesses. Franchise model is just one variation of a business model that adopts this duplication which made them successful.

A system, with a concept, an idea is required with a tested proven system to ensure success and with some other required education in financial related fields.

Having successfully trouble-shoot my first website which is the blog you’re reading right now, I have than did my second website with absolute duplication, with minor chances, applying the same settings, plug-ins and improve on the  minor settings to create a USP.

Duplication is easy, but learning the first step is often the hassle. Conquer the first step and you’ll be fine with the second step onwards. There may be some small stones, but it isn’t big like as compared to the first step with so many question-marks here and there.

With a new theme, I will need to consult my mentor to fine-tune my website soon. Having started on duplication, I hope that you who is reading this right now, can work towards duplication as well, if you have yet to do so, than start working on walking your first step.

Communication

posted by ryan

Communication is a conversation which everybody does; in fact every single living organism does it. The ability to communicate to each other if done successfully gets the results expected.  Failure to communicate efficiently will result in nothing but failure.

Communication is a conversation with many different interpretations and understandings based on respective experiences with different individuals. What you understand from this might not be what he/she understands of this.

I was exchanging a short messaging service (SMS) with a friend (F) of mine, having seen the contents which show signs of being a complete newbie in multi-level-marketing (MLM) I than decided to show it to my partner (M) who may not have the same understanding and teaching which I had so I communicate and exchange ideas behind every single message exchanged in the process between my friend and I.

With every reply I got, and the response I intended to type and sent, I discussed it with him (M) and both him and I realized that we’re thinking from different perspective because his experience and what he learnt was different from what I learnt coming from different background etc.

At times, I stick to my preferred reply methods, while at times I adopt his idea and method which M would use to reply to the same response I receive from my friend F. With each response received, I was able to predict the reply I expected it to be due to experiences in lots of similar conversations and backing it up with reasons, thus both M and I learnt from this simple SMS discussion which was live.

Through this simple discussion, I realized that M was thinking just the way accordingly to what was commonly taught in such MLM business trainings. While I on the other hand learn from both MLM trainings and enhance my learning deepen it with reading self-improvement books thus the different in thinking.

The exercise was a great success. Though it was a simple one, but we both learnt the differences of each other and had our ideas exchanged, messaged crossed over to each other and understood it which aid in our learning process. With the same response (questions from F), different replies variations came out from M and I so it was a triple win situation.

First win, I managed to convince  F to join me, second win, M learn the way I analyze and reply to a question and third, F got to learn of a better opportunity to learn from millionaires instead of learning from ordinary people who aren’t having successful testimonials to prove their ability to generate wealth.

If you like to learn from millionaires, contact me using the contact page and I’ll get back to you shortly.

Fyi: This is a limited unique real-life business learning opportunity to pick up skills from millionaires, not one not two but three direct millionaires as uplines guiding us. To top it up, the business is lead by a well known successful multi-millionaire with a purpose.

Law of Attraction

posted by ryan

For months, I’ve had the same goal since I attained my Advanced SEO skills certification in my mind.

With the same goal in my mind all this while, repeating it again and again numerous times, somehow for unknown reasons, it seems to be slowly materializing in one way if not another.

From plain ideas, to steps which can lead me to working towards my goal, it seems that without a doubt, the law of attraction does works, as what was shown in “The Secrets”. With the whole universe at your command with just thoughts, anything is possible if you think of it, and take the necessary steps that come in your way to assist you in attaining your goals.

From just ideas, to help being offered, and even direct help and doors opened in my face to lead me to my goals. All this are happening just with the start of a idea fixed in my mind as a goal.

With that, I will now process on to another phrase working towards my goal. Be goal-driven and focus on taking baby steps towards your goals, sooner or later, the goal will be attained with time.

The intensity of your thoughts also contributes to how successful you will be in future. Mark my words, and I’ll prove what I’ve said, not you anybody, but to prove to me myself that I have outdone myself and done the right thing to date despite some minor detour and in previous years.

So if you who’s still clueless on what’s your goals are, look at the people around you, or your idols, look for something possible and gradually upgrade your goals. Start now, take baby steps else successful will never find you at the finishing line.

Being an entrepreneur

posted by ryan

Entrepreneurship, a word which have being lightly mention in parts of my blog before, today it will be the made a subject although it may be short but it’s going to be a direct pinpoint on the issue itself.

While there are many entrepreneurs publishing books on why they have succeeded and how we can be the next one live to tell the tale but what’s really missing from their success story is the pushing reason, mostly by which might be personal reasons causing them to have the intense desire to succeed which they didn’t at once mention that caused the important ignition of a spark leading to a wild burning forest fire of self-motivation towards success.

There’s a book which I mention previously in a separate blog entry, but I’m going to repeat it again as this book together with another book will be more than sufficient to tell you why you we should succeed, not for others but for ourselves.

Many times, the idea of success comes with glory and honor but the reason behind the desire to succeed can be so simple like “I never want to eat choosing numbers”. As simple as it sounds, to those who understand what I written as example, good, else there’s no need to motivate or force yourself towards success if it isn’t you yourself who seeks success.

The book which I strongly recommend is “Why we want you to be rich” and Who moved my cheese”. The former being written by both Donald J. Trump and Robert Kiyosaki is a book which doesn’t teach you how to succeed but rather helps you understand yourself more and why you should. The latter is a book which isn’t top seller book, but it is a very practical, down-to-earth and simple book which can be completed in less then two hours even for a guy who doesn’t like to read books with slow book reading speed. This book however isn’t available in national library but can be bought in bookstores for $10 (round off to the nearest complete figure).

While many have talked about the fish analogy, but not many really take it to heart due to they have yet to learn actual real life fishing to understand the satisfaction of it. Unlike fishing, the book “Who moved my cheese” describes a tale of two mouse trapped in a maze looking for cheese to fill their stomach.

Going hungry is something that every single person have experienced and therefore this book will be especially closer and be appreciated more than the fish analogy. Back to the subject, quoting for the book “Why we want to be rich” again, “Entrepreneur is not a group effort. You have to be willing to go it done for a certain amount of time and sometimes for a long time. Having said my point, I wish all Happy New Year and say Cheers to Success if you believe and FOCUS.
