Normally during my interview i will normally asked people how comfortable are they being an entrepreneur or are they ok with the idea of getting a full-commission sales job? Well this question is merely to find out about their mindset. From the type of questions that i got from them, i will be able to judge whether are they willing to get out of their comfort job and do something different?

Often then not when people comes across being a insurance agent or financial consultant, they will have a negative mindset about this career. Common thinking will be like: ‘ Can i survive here?’ ‘ Will people actually buy from me’ or ‘The market is saturated’ etc..In fact, all these thinking are just mindset problem. It is not really a problem because i can proudly said that all these questions can be solved by themselves in just a moment,

Why am i so confident in saying that? Well i guess it is because of the people that i met and known that makes me have such beliefs. Imagine today if someone will to point a gun at your parents(or wife) and ask you to sell insurance. Then they said this: ‘If you dont’ sell one today then i will kill them” Do you think you can sell?

YES! I am very sure that anyone who cares about their loved one will be able to make their first deal. So why is it that under such circumstances people perform? Reason is  very simple: They are motivated by pain! The fear of lose of their loved one makes them get out of their comfort zone and do something different. It’s within one moment that changes them! Hence i always believe that if you want to do something different yet no gut to do it, always put ‘pain’ or ‘pleasure’ to motivate yourself to do so.

Of course, i am not saying that being a financial consultant needs to be so extreme in order to be successful but it is just a matter of whether are you willing to try something different? So the next time people asked whether do you think you will be successful in doing something, you can just put yourself in the above situation and you find the answer.

Always believe you can do it and NEVER underestimate your potential!

Yesterday was a long day for me because i spent a whole lot of time packing up all my stuffs. After 3 years in this industry, i realised the amount of things to pack can be quite alot =) I specially went to buy a fortune cat just now at taka to decorate my room and at the same time for CNY purposes. I’m also thinking of putting up some motivational posters to keep myself motivated at all times. For the time being, you can only see Anthony Robbin poster =)

I am really quite excited about this new environment because it will symbolise a brand new start for me as i began my recruitment path this year. Although 2009 is a bad year for most people but i believe that in every crisis, there bound to have opportunity and i’m making this year to be one of it.

So long it’s properly planned and with the right strategy, things will go your way. But most importantly things is to lay the foundation right. Must have the right principles to do thing right at the first place. This is very crucial & important in all jobs.

So far, i have a few people who wants to join me in this career and i’m really looking forward to groom them and fight with them. Most of them are my friends and they chose this job because they see my passion in being an entrepreneur and helping people in their planning. I’m glad that i am able to movtivate them this way as i believe strongly that one should leave their comfort zone to experience life and touch people’s heart. Having a good exposure @ work is worth more than having few thousands dollars in your pocket. A good opportunity does not come by easily but money does come very easy by just working hard. Hence being able to work with them really pushes me to work harder and make sure they are successful.

One of my 2009 resolution is to have 8 consultants and i’m quite sure that with the faith and right strategy with actions, i am able to achieve this record. Mark my words!

 i have a burning desire to provide the best for her and myself. All the while during my young days, i had always been an average student in school and was quite not motivated. However it was only after i met my boss, Merry Riana, that my life has changed for the better. If not for her, i wouldn’t even dream to be an entrepreneur. Again Merry has became another person that i will want to make her proud.

For those people out there, have you ever wondered the things that you are doing now are making your parent proud of you? Have you been putting in less effort in your career than before? Have you felt that being successful means nothing to you?

If the answer to the above is ‘No’, i like to urge you to change. In life, we are not living for ourselves only. We are here because of our parents. We are where we are now because of the people around us. They trusted you in doing the right things, believing that you will make it in life. Hence for a person to be happy, he/she needs to learn to be appreciative and one thing that you can give back to the person you loved is to make the person proud of you. Do the right things and you will never regret..

In yesterday news, Citi Group decided to cut down the number of worker by as much as 52,000. In current financial turmoil, all companies regardless big or small are all cutting down their operating costs. As a result, people are living in fear of whether when is their turn to have a pay cut or lay off. Acutally it’s a matter of choice as to whether how you want your career to be? Earning peanuts or millions of dollars? They are just one step away from it.

Hence one of the ways to stay afloat at the current situation is to seek your own career path. Be in control of the things that you do. Do things that people fear to do. Be an entreprenuer!

Are you highly motivated but can’t really perform due to your direct superior? Do you enjoy working in a fast-paced and demanding environment but is being slow down due to nature of your job?
