Brew is the process of preparing a drink, brewing is often used and association with beer, undergoing the process of steeping, boiling, fermenting of malt and hops.

While there are a wide variety of beers all over the world, the core components of the beer is consistent, which consist of barely, yeast, hops and water. The same components under different conditions will produce different results.

Likewise in business, we may all have being taught and read from the same books, but our ideas plus experiences will result in different business ideas which translates into unique businesses with application put in place to produce either a product or service if not both of which.

Business involves many steps similar to brewing a beer, no matter what you are brewing either from the back of your home, garage, kitchen, workshops, laboratories, or even large scale beer brewing plants, the end results are still the same, beer.

The difference within the similarity is only the core components which go into the transformation process. Like how barely becomes malt and how sugar becomes alcohol, similar on how a idea converts into a business execution for profits.

While the process is troublesome from the third party point of view, but once you understand how it works, you will understand the basic principles in the process to start your business right from your home with a simple starter kit.

Business can take flight anywhere and everywhere, as long as you have the basic components required and know the proper steps to implement and have a successful brew first before you try adding in your own conditions to brew your own unique beer like a new business product.

Passion is all that it takes.

Foundation is the basis or groundwork of anything.

To learn to walk and run, we first have to learn to crawl and balance by standing on our own two feet.

To speak a variety of language and dialects, we first have to understand how to talk and communicate.

To do business, we have to learn accountancy which is a advanced mathematics derived from basic mathematics of add, subtract, multiply and divide so as to calculate profit and loss.

For good health, we first have to ensure our body constitution is in good health with the help of traditional Chinese medicine via herbs therapy.

Building a building requires a strong solid foundation, the portion of building’s structure that transfer the weight if the building into the ground strata so as to remain strong.

Healthy relationship between family, relatives and friends requires a strong foundation of trust and bonding too, which is cultivated and built since young by celebration events and gatherings.

Like wise, marriage and boy-girl relationship is all about emotions handling which is needed in everything which we do, in presentation of business, family communication, health, and the passion for language learning. The love for learning and doing anything keeps us moving forward and always improving for more.

Driving a car requires the basic understanding of both theory and practical knowledge and experience too.

Like a tree in nature, it starts small, grows deeper as it grows taller from a small tree to a strong tree sufficient to stand and withhold itself against strong winds with its deep roots spread all over thus it is not easy to uproot a tree.

Whatever we do, we need to stick to the basic foundation, so never ever belittle the minor details which is a necessity to start the learning curve. It is the catalyst to success.

Compete is to outdo another for acknowledgment, prize and supremacy. It is the rivalry of two or more parties.

The most competitive industry in the employment sector will be Wall Streets in the USA. If you don’t know anything or what it does, watch Channel News Asia “Chinese woman succeeding on Wall Streets” and you will get what I mean.

In employment, it is the most competitive employment for employees where sky is the limit, and like what is said in the show, anybody who can survive in Wall Street for at least a year is already earning more than others. They have five times higher wages than others in the world. A hedge fun manager can easily earn up to a billion dollars of wages if he/she is successful.

In business, Forbes ranking list is the most competitive place for businessmen and entrepreneurs. In the past, being a millionaire will be sufficient to be among featured in the Forbes List, since few years back, Forbes List has changed and it takes at least a billion to climb into the list, thus the competition is intense.

Unlike employment, business is easier and much more fun and happening, if you enjoy what you are doing, something that is your passion, you are already ahead of your competitors because there is no classification between work and play for people who are working on their passion as business thus passion is a critical factor in business.

Competition is everywhere, it is the survival of the fittest for our own lives, we cannot depend on anybody except ourselves for a living, no even our parents, although parents are willing to give up their lives for us, but that is something that’s not good.

We should learn from the wild rogue nature of animals and beast, the instincts are kept inside each and everyone of us and will only surface in desperate times for survival. Clueless on what I’m talking about, watch Okto Documentary shows and you might learn about related stuffs.

Wild animals only protect their babies until they are fully independent and able to hunt on their own before leaving them on their own and carrying on with their own lives. This is seen and practiced by Western countries which is good but not in Asian countries thus contributing to Asian weakness in survival instincts.

Go for more natural outdoor sports and advantage, you don’t need to go into the advantage and sports full time, just a one time experience will do if you can catch and remember the feeling, experience at the back of your hand and recall it easily. If not, put in some effort into it and experience what nature and what is required for success.

Entrepreneurship is all about independence, and it come from freedom, breaking away from parents, care and protection and standing alone by yourself beating the odds and be the champion.

Disdain is to look upon or treat with contempt, despise or scorn a feeling of contempt for anything regarded as unworthy.

It is not a pleasant state of mind to look down on something, somebody or ourselves. People who do embrace disdain, are the people who are complaining of no money, money not enough, get a job work hard and get paid; those kind of mentality are what makes the majority of the population.

On the other hand, the successful and wealthy people accept themselves, and have admiration for even more successful individuals wanting to be like them, thus the rich always hangs around with one another while the poor does the same also.

People, who look down on themselves and others, are not helping themselves and instead is dragging themselves gradually into poverty social circle, restricting themselves of each of our own rightful wealth and success.

Every single one of us are winners and champions, the moment we were given lives in the womb, we were already champions because we beat the other millions of sperm and thus life was formed.

Success is not determined by birth, family, social status. If you seek success, it will be yours eventually if you work hard and are committed to doing so.

We should not listen to non-constructive comments and hang around with people who are not helping each other to improve ourselves. We should hang around with people who are honest, straight-forward with feedbacks so we can learn and improve everyday and every second.

Average people of the majority is contented with living in a unrealistic world thus they only think of study hard, work hard and get paid, depriving themselves of the possibility of success.

Think and act like a champion, and one day, you will emerge as a champion in your own niche with passion as your fuel to success.

Limitation is a form of restriction within a set of environment and settings. It is the ceiling to how much something can be learnt.

Education is about removing the limitations which is set on us since birth for modern generation of teenagers and young adults. There are both positive and negative aspects of which.

Positive would be it help us to be informed of the repercussions so as to factor in a lot of elements and considerations to massively increase our advantage in a area of subject which a person picks up.

Negative would be that with lots of repercussions means there is confusion in the people’s minds which account for individuals’ lack of desire to succeed and work towards being a millionaire and beyond.

Look at the Forbes list, and list out anyone among the top ten billionaires that has a Ph.D in academic qualifications, nobody. The idea is simple, tested and proven, the more you study in terms of academically, the poorer and mentally, you build more barriers which limit and restrict any form of incoming profitable ideas which you can work on.

A great inventor with a Ph.D does not mean he/she will be a successful and wealthy people. Each of those on the top ten Forbes list get there by doing what they like and have passion in, to be an professional and excel in the best of what they do, simple idea, easily attainable with hard-work and due diligence.

Simply look at the Forbes list, and work towards your passion and nothing else by being positively persistent.

Time is a measurement system of a unit. It is a measurement of a period or interval.

Everyone has the same amount of time twenty four hours a day seven days a week fifty two weeks a year and so on. Time is so unique that nobody can create extra time for anybody.

The poor can only have maximal twenty four hours per day, while the wealthy and successful businessmen have X numbers of twenty four hours, and it is based on the number of business partners, employees they have working on a project, repeating doing the same thing to produce products, services for sales and profit to the business.

With increase help and paying people in-exchange for their time, the businessmen thus can increase and better utilize his time on more profitable business to further increase his wealth accumulation process.

Businessmen thus in a way is buying time from people, leverage on business partners and employees which is mutually beneficial to all the parties involved with agreements to the terms and conditions attached.

While time can actually be bought, but nobody can buy back lost time, time which has passed can never ever be bought, which brings me to opportunity cost, when the timing is right, a business proposal is in front of you wanting to invest and be part of it, if you miss it that time, in future when they succeed, you cannot turn back time thus you live a life with regrets and nothing else.

We can buy time but we cannot buy lost time since we cannot turn back the clock. Instead of living with regrets, why not make the best use of time to do what we like, go after our dreams, passion or wealth.

If you are clueless about opportunity cost, there is a daily repeating event in the neighbourhood near you. Just start queuing up for free newspapers everyday, at time you may be in the front, but what happens if you are at the back of the queue without any free newspapers left. That is the lost of opportunity. You can choose to wake up early, take action by queuing or find shortcuts.

If you lose it, you cannot find it back, since the newspapers are all given out with no spare copies. It is identical to doing business. Just with the exception of business where money comes into the picture.

If you know Microsoft, Google and Facebook could be what it is today, if there is a opportunity for you to invest when they are still unknown, you have found the perfect opportunity that once lost, it is lost forever for good or bad depending on your perspective, time is important, so make sure you know how to look ahead and invest in visions, not dreams.

Today at this date, I have an opportunity for interested parties, I’m not sure how long or short this limited opportunity to work with successful businessmen will last, but if you understand the value of time, do not hesitate to contact me,

I’ll get back to you if you show interest in wealth accumulation, moreover whatever I am doing right now, it is tested, proven with time and results from seniors who have being there, done that. I’m learning from businessmen who plans on building companies, if you want to be part of it, why not now, ask me for more details.

Fellowship is the friendly companionship between friends, family and people and members in the same company, corporation or guild. It is the association of people having similar taste and interest who has form a group together.

It can also be based on a foundation for having awards and benefits for being in a corporation or guild working towards a common goal or purpose hand in hand together with helping one another.

There are two types of fellowship; one is purely for profits (money); the other one is for friendship and association and membership of a exclusive group.

Fellowship for money happens and forms when a group of like-minded people bond together, working hard to earn more money in the shortest period of time possible to satisfy their desire and needs thus they resort to fast quick methods etc which only makes them more busy without the time to enjoy their new hard earned money. Have money but no time to spend the money.

Fellowship for friendship is the one which everyone should be looking for. It is the building of alliance of respective individuals each with their entrepreneur business ideas working their own ways. In time to come, when individuals succeed, they who know each other previously and have help support one another in need, will become a force to be reckon with, building wealth, assets and lots of time to spare.

That is the secret to wealth and success, seek to form an alliance of like minded individuals, and encourage one another, so when companies are erected with each successful individuals, there’s more benefits to working together with trust that’s already built, and less time spend on unnecessary selling and negotiation about the details. Trust is the way and how things work. Abuse it once, and kiss goodbye to it forever.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, read up this book on Starbucks, “Pour Your Heart Into It – How STARBUCKS Built A Company One Cup at a Time” by Howard Schultz and Dori Jones Yang.

Inside the book, it focus on getting to associate and know the right people to expand the business, some of which are partners whom they worked with together in the past.

Ask yourself what’s your passion, find and join a exclusive membership of an association of individuals each with their own vision but at the same time encouraging one another towards success.

The wealthy and successful people gets more wealth together with more time to spare while the poor gets more work load with less time to spare and it means to get busy and not time to spend the money he/she earn.

Do you want to be have both time and money (wealth) or do you want to have money but not time?

Pick either one of the above and work hard. Make the right choice, and choose a right mentor who can help you to succeed yet allowing you more time to increase your wealth by building more sources of income with one time effort, multiple times of profits.

Passion is a powerful emotion, a feeling or desire, a strong or extravagant fondness and enthusiasm for something. It is the immersed emotion and enthusiasm that allows hobbies to stay alive and keep doing it without expecting anything in return.

Passion is a interest in whatever a person does, be it a job, hobby that he/she does for a living and is so enthusiastic about it that they do not mind working over time, not getting paid for doing what they love.

An example will be to be involved in a relationship, younger teenagers these days get into boy girl relationship for various reasons, of which most are due to immaturity in mindset together with their curiousness on how it feels like to be in one.

Boys go into relationship for pride and ego, not wanting to lose out to their peers, they just want to find a easy partner and do whatever they want with sweet talking a girl into the trap in some cases.

Girls get into relationship to be loved, to seek attention from her partner to compensate for her lack of attention and focus from both her parents.

Don’t believe me? Just look back and think about it. In the passed, boy-girl relationship only starts around sixteen to eighteen years of age for the earliest if not matchmaking for marriage purpose.

Teenagers are able to follow the natural genetics order of growing more mature than look for relationship because they get the attention, care plus love and concern from their parents back than when there was it was still possible for a family to depend on a sole bread winner to support the family.

These days, thanks to competition, both parents have to work hard, less family time together, lack of love, care and concern is the crucial factor leading to boy girl relationship. Just look around the students, those born and blessed with loving parents who pay attention to their kids will not have the need nor want to even get into a relationship because their body, the genes knows that it is not yet the time for romance. Its within everybody in our blood.

Passion can help us to succeed if applied correctly. Artist for example as an occupation is a great example for people to integrate both their passion and art work together as one, so they don’t mind the low pay and lack of exposure from local markets.

Once you identified your own passion, things will get done go smoother for you even if you face obstacles, it will be resolved in a matter of time often it goes away with a new idea that pops up in your mind.

I blog and hang around forums to discuss and share tips in those medias because I enjoy what I am doing without bothered for the returns. When you start giving, you will somehow receive back something, it does not need to be in monetary forms. It can be happiness, sense of satisfaction that just gets you moving and wanting to help more people.

Blogging initially was plainly for a replacement of their personal diary which started few years back, and soon it evolved into a fashion trend and evolved into technology with people jumping in without knowing why they even want to be part of it.

From blogging to micro-blogging with the introduction of Twitter, those doing blogging are considered out-dated. I don’t really care about it, because they are following the trend, exposing their personal lives daily activities to strangers, letting them know of their actions, throwing away their privacy rights which is silly.

Mirco-blogging just to get updated, it is more of a self-expression of our own thoughts than to be silly enough to post pictures, activities that will attract predators to prey on gullible individuals brushing with law.

Passion is the enthusiasm, not a fashion fad but a fashion trend which will go on and on with the right results. Bloggers who had the right thoughts about the origins of it, used blogging to start doing their own business and succeed, of which those featured in newspapers are single young mummies and its something which people should learn from.

Don’t follow others for wanting to be in the bandwagon of crowd not to be left behind. Instead why not think about how to brand and sell yourself? How you can profit from your passion, with the correct advice and guidance, everything is possible as long as you are willing to take a step forward and learn from people who has the related skills and ability to share with you.

Starbucks is so successful today because the CEO is so passionate about offering top quality coffee.

Donald J.Trump is so successful because he enjoys doing what he likes and that is to build properties just like his dad.

Bill Gates is successful because he made his vision into a reality with the help of his mom.

Facebook founder Mark Elliot Zuckerberg started the social media site as his Harvard controversy of the project which started purely just to keep in touch with his classmates.

If you want to be the next successful individual, find coaches and mentors who will guide you along by the hand. I’ve found my mentors, have you found yours yet?

If in doubt about yourself and your passion, fee free to contact me and I’ll get back to you shortly after. Either way, you can leave your comments just right below.

Find your passion and live your life without regrets.

Seek happiness in whatever you’re doing and not to be in misery doing what you detest most just for money.  Passion will lead you to wealth and successful with the right mentor coaching. Work will only lead you to a fraction of money.

Spot the difference identify your own passion and work towards it.

Perfect is a word used to describe flawlessness and completeness, everybody and business aspire to be perfect but there’s no business or person who is perfect and it will not be possible.

The only way to be as close as getting perfect is to aim for perfection, excelling in products, customer service, before, during and after sales service including delivery, information counter, food etc.

To work towards perfection, is a uphill task but it is not impossible, with each feedback and complaints, there will always be rooms for improvements and thus to space to perfecting any business or person character and behavior.

To strive for perfection, is equivalent to aiming of the highest proficiency in skill or excellence in art or in a trait. In order to be close to perfect like a champion, first have to face a lot of obstacles, hurdles and learning to go against the tide and waves.

Like a deserving champion surfer paddling against the huge sea waves, duck dive together with the board to avoid being washed away by in incoming wave, and emerging in the after wave, sporting for the big signs of a big wave and working hard to ride top of the wave before surfing inside the barrel and coming out still surfing on the board before the barrel of close in on the surfer.

An occupation which can integrate both passion and business together, work towards perfection is  property, whereby the wealthy land developer builds his/her own dream home with the state of the art high tech facilities and amenities that everyone dream of.

In order to first learn the skill of perfection, we first have to learn to eliminate our own negative habits one by one which will take a long time, but it’s a worthy bargain with nothing to lose and a lot to gain with time.

There isn’t anything which is perfect, but we can work towards perfection and perfecting ourselves, environment any other things as long as it is within our abilities.

To succeed, master the skill of perfecting something, not to be perfect.

Dream is a succession of images, thoughts or emotions passing through the mind during our sleep. It is also a vision voluntarily which we indulged in while being awake which is to day dream example during classes, at work etc.

Dreaming is a powerful tool yet very much under utilized of. It is a state of thoughts running through the mind which can be beneficial to us regardless of it being good or bad dream.

If it is good, it encourage ourselves to work harder in a particular direction towards our passion. If it is bad, remember the bad dream, and how you felt in that dream, and take steps to make sure that what you least wanted in your mind doesn’t happened.

Most of us will have dreams, but majority of us who dream a dream will just leave the dream as it is, hoping to have a part II continuation of the same dream extended version, which I had a few couple of success when I was young.

Dreaming back than was like playing video games to me, in a poor family, games are considered a luxury back than, so dreaming is my next best option, cheapest and I feel great even after I wake up from the dream whereby I was the kid being tasked to test out new games before it launches the product for better improvements and fine-tuning.

Dreams are free. The more you dream, the better your chances of success are if you do what is right to make your dreams into a reality. On the other hand, if you don’t even dare to dream, your odds of success is greatly reduced.

Dreams are free, and should be dreaming, but never ever overdo it, and dream for the impossible, dream of something practical and within reach, which has a possibility to you, even if others say it’s impossible. Listen to only yourself, your mentor, coach, and accept only constructive advice, don’t accept whatever junk advice losers give you.

To succeed, you need to first learn to dream without limits and start picturing visions of yourself at the top doing whatever you like and wish for. Do whatever it takes to reach what you seek but do it within legal and ethical means.

If you need a life example, just google Susan Boyle and watch videos on her success, it all started with dreaming defying the odds against you. So start dreaming, and get it right this time, without dreams, there will be no vision.
