Flexibility

Flexibility is important not just in health, but also as important in relationship and in business, this is what I learn it the hard way.

After staying in a fix position looking in the direction of the speakers over live coaching training recording in my mentor’s office for his home study course over the last weekend, the next day, my neck was score to the core, tight muscles, having difficulty even turning to my right side normally. Instead of turning just the neck, I have to turn both my head and my body towards right side in order to see stuffs on the right side.

Second day, it got worse, having to experience pain even with just a sneeze, or slight movement. Left with no choice, consulted the general practitioner doctor in the polyclinic, she commented. “Our body is very strange, your muscles will get score if you don’t move at all, if you move too much, it will also get score.”

That was a wake-up call. That not only was it important to remain flexible, it is also important to remain flexible in relationship as well as in business.

In business, we must be flexible to stretch at times to meet goals and datelines and attempt to reach for the unreachable, that’s what it takes to do business. Testing anything and everything, multiple projects at a time instead of one project with different people taking charge for different projects respectively and measuring the results and going with the next best choice for profit and growth.

Whereas in relationship, it is to have quick-thinking, reactions, reflexes to respond accordingly. A person who is bad at handling relationships will be as bad in business, as it is all about people business, failure to handle people means failure in business. That’s what evolving and materializing in businesses all over the world right now.

Social Media Interaction via Internet Marketing has not only forced businesses to bend to the customers, but also force business owners to keep updated with the latest technology, trends and the next wave of best business practices.Fortunately, all these important information was taught to us by my mentors in a live-event recording for a product of home study program for businesses who wants to grow their business.

As for the specific name, I’ll reveal it only after my mentors launch the product globally to maintain its secrecy. The training program was excellent, teaching us what to do, and how to be part of the next wave before there’s even that has already hit United States, but not yet in Singapore, so we were told of best business practices from United States thanks to my mentor Fabian Lim, with his business partner Simon Leung as well as his business partner Andy Huang.

There have to be a balance in everything, too little, cannot, too much also cannot. Flexibility is somehow slightly different from change. The former is to be open minded and expose to different ideas irregardless if it is a brilliant or stupid idea. The latter however is to switch if not move towards a specific direction after something has happened, meaning to say, change is being forced upon, while flexibility is like having an advantage over the rest with a first-mover advantage by reaching for something before it even becomes a must.

Just like the picture above, it is not over-rated, but of course, we don’t need to be so fit like the lady in the picture, just stay open minded, and test everything that comes your way, and you’ll have the first mover advantage and experience to leverage on when others are still testing, you on the other hand already knows what the results will be like and how to market the results, products for a profit perhaps.

Lesson

posted by ryan

Lesson is a period of time where learning is intended to occur. As we grow, we are constantly improving, even our skin is changing daily replacing the old with the new thus in order to survive and earn a living, we need to attend lessons on ourselves to improve and upgrade ourselves else risk being obsolete and being eliminated.

Today I just attended a social media workshop by organized by Fabian Lim, my internet mentor, with keynote speaker Simon Leung at SMU School of Economics and Social Science 2.4. It was a full house event within a short period of time. Being the customer appreciation week, there were plentiful of strategies and updates which was shared with us the workshop participants.

In the workshop, Simon taught us steps on how to go about doing social media and the direction whereby internet marketing is heading towards which those who remain outdated will be left out without knowing what happen.

In between each segment, Fabian will than top it up explanation to help us the participants get a better understanding of the subject proper being discussed and shared on the slides.

The lesson ended at 1830hours with every question answered and all the participants left without any doubts or queries. If there is any other such workshops, it’s a must go for so as to stay updated.

Balance

posted by ryan

Balance is about equilibrium with equal distribution of weight distributor to achieve balance.

Everything must be balanced, and there must not be bias on any side but in reality, it isn’t possible to strike a balance unless we control our own source of income, wealth and time by working for ourselves and not for our boss.

At work, government across and all over the globe always talk about having a balance working life, which is nonsense, if they want to get paid via tax thus they have money, they have to think of ways to allow business to have more employees thus more tax will be received from everybody making them richer but not wealthier since government are not experts at wealth and financial management.

The true experts of wealth and financial management are the billionaires and multi-millionaires. Millionaires are not included in my theory because millionaires can be done alone with hard work while multi-millionaires cannot.

News reports of financial crisis, great depression, stock crisis, commodity shortage thus causing sky rocketed cost of food and basic ingredients such as sugar, salt, and oil at times are the solid proof that government leaders are just ordinary people like you and me in the streets. They know nothing about real wealth management. They can make mistakes and push the blame to somebody else by military or keep it within the walls of each respective country as top secrets etc, and the best part, they don’t get fired because they need to retain ‘talents’ who are just sadly ill-trained professionals who knows only theory but not practical experience whatsoever.

Such people in the government do not and will not know how to balance the equilibrium and will continue to make mistakes than push it to others, got let somebody be the scapegoat taking the blame while opening a back-door to the person who help them take the rap.

The Lehman Brothers is a typical example of ill trained professionals who cause the world economy to share the rap and consequences of their actions, sparking a crisis with more problems in western countries than Asian countries.

With US government using tax-payers money to bail out the companies that didn’t do a proper job to save employments, when this happens, it is debt sharing, and passing the debt to the majority of the people. Take the total sum of money USA used and divide among the US population, and you know on average how much a US citizen helps the government to pay off the debts, which is why the US presidential election is all about, getting the consent of every citizen for approval by votes.

In Asian countries, it is run with a slightly different practice, because of the lack of politicians, and leaders, whatever mistakes they made, it will be compromised because there are no successors to take over thus they can continue making mistakes and nobody can do anything because they lack the higher appointment to veto the politician out immediately. Business and politics will never be able to work together due to a conflict of interest and why Warren Buffett initially decline President Obama request to lead the US in terms of investment options.

At work, health and family, it is all about striking a balance but it is not possible to do it because not possible to do so as business is all about profits and family work balance must be compromised in order to meet quota set by the company and the management else face the risk of being fired.

The only possible way to attain work life and family plus health balance is to work for ourselves, and find alternative income source to have flexible work time, have a business system to have it running on automatic basis so to allow equal balance.

The alternative is via internet marketing, and multi-level marketing (MLM) which requires no boss, no fixed timing, efforts and pay are justified by the amount of commitment they put in which is why news articles in Singapore have mention successes in blogging stay home young mothers who are IT savvy. MLM however has created tremendous success that can’t be overlooked but it is treated with negativity thus people are not receptive to it.

Education is all about helping ourselves to earn more money, but why and how did people think that it’s only right to help boss earn money and not help themselves? Are you slapping yourself in the face? Wake up to the reality and face it. If you at any one time want to deny facts, you will be a loser and loser will only suffer in misery and nothing else.

Do you want to seek balance in live which will encourage good health or do you want to continue to work your guts out risking your health helping your boss get rich, and not helping yourself?
