(Wanted to blog earlier but couldn't due to the highly unstable internet broadband service.
Will change Internet provider this week.)
14th, 15th and 16th May 2010. Those 3 days transformed my life.
Robert Allen, renowned speaker, motivational coach and bestselling author of Multiple Streams of Income, Nothing Down, Creating Wealth and many other books, was in Kuala Lumpur to conduct his “Multiple Streams Of Income With Cash In A Flash” Workshop. Bob had a goal for us – to create new millionaires by 1st January 2011 from scratch!
During those 3 full days, Bob took us through multiple ways to create wealth. And covered each and every one of the four wealth creating vehicles in detail - Real Estate, Infopreneuring, Network Marketing and Internet Marketing. We each had to choose ONE subject to major in, learn everything we can about that subject, and master that chosen vehicle to create our first stream of income.
I chose Internet Marketing, something I knew nothing about. After all, isn’t the proverbial empty sponge supposed to be able to absorb and retain more knowledge and information? However, little was I to know of the painfully challenging journey ahead.

I chose Internet Marketing, something I knew nothing about. After all, isn’t the proverbial empty sponge supposed to be able to absorb and retain more knowledge and information? However, little was I to know of the painfully challenging journey ahead.
We were divided into respective teams, each team with 7 team members, to push, inspire and hold one another accountable till “1.1.11”. We were to meet once a week over Skype to track our individual and team progress, and our team leader was responsible for reporting to Bob.
Before the first “reporting” session, our team leader had resigned. No one else seemed interested in continuing with the weekly meets. Just like that, the team had dispersed.
One week after 16th May (last day of the seminar), I was feeling confused, disappointed and discouraged. There were so many unanswered questions. I had no more team. No idea where to start or what to do. Internet Marketing seemed daunting, overwhelming, extremely difficult and something I thought I would not quite get the grasp of.
The days passed by and I was nowhere near making my first dollar (much less becoming a millionaire)! That was seven months ago...

For me, I'm lucky & more blessed, 'cos I still had a team! The only similar thing is that actually, I've yet to reach my goal too. But I still believed that one day, I'll reach it.
ReplyDeletePeiRu, I'm happy for you. Is your team still reporting to Bob? For me, I will focus on my GOALS so the "obstacles" will appear smaller :p Like Robert Allen says, if we are willing to do Whatever It Takes, we will slowly but surely succeed. Let's MAKE It Happen! <>
ReplyDeleteHi Ming,i really enjoy reading your articles, u doing a great job. keep it up!!
ReplyDeleteThere are no obstacles. There is only process. The steps of the process are: learning, understanding, taking action, achieving results and getting stronger. This can be found in Robert Kiyosaki's mission statement of "The Rich Dad Company". How quickly does one want to move through these steps? Rich Dad Global also explains that: "Good days give you happiness. bad days give you experience, worst days give you a lesson." Recognize the process. Embrace it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linai. Will post Part 2 soon, when I get my Streamyx back :-)
ReplyDeleteDianne, appreciate the insights/reminder. Robert Kiyosaki played a monumental role in getting me out of the Rat Race - for which I will always remain grateful.
Guys...thank you for your support.
