That’s why today I decided to come to airport to chill =) Having a cup of latte whilst doing strategic thinking. I love such moments as I can slow down my pace and reflect on all the things that has happened in my life and learn from the experiences that I’ve had.

Let me do a recap of the experiences that I have gained in the past two months:

1)      During conversations with guys younger than me, I realized that the decisions made during the younger years have the ability to completely alter one’s fate. I made the decision to join the financial industry despite many objections while doing my part time degree and after 4 years, I have never looked back. If I had not made this move, I wouldn’t be where I am now and this website wouldn’t be in existence. I also wouldn’t have learnt so many valuable life lessons in life and met amazing people.

2)      After one of the major exercise that I had during my course, I was reminded that one’s attitude in life decides whether or not you’re poised for success. Eg: If you are always positive about things, you tend to make the best out of it and try to learn new experiences from it. Successful people that I know, especially my boss Merry Riana, has an excellent attitude towards life. She has been going around sharing with many others that the most important things in life can be achieved by having the right attitude. Losers, on the other hand, focus a lot on what they can’t achieve and blame anything and everything except themselves.

3)      We can plan but if the plan that you have is not what God has intended for you, it will not materialize. As a result, you need to see from this point of view and tell yourself that God breaks your plan so that HE can allow the bigger plan to materialize. Every failure in our life serves a purpose. It doesn’t happen without a reason. So seize the chance to learn from the mistakes and grow!

4)      Saving is a virtue! Being able to save and possessing the willingness to save isn’t easy. This is especially so in Singapore where things are so expensive coupled with low wages, it can be quite taxing on normal folks. It takes great determination to weather out temptation and remain as normal =) Although it may seem very extreme but that was what I learnt. We can save money if we really take a step back to reflect on our wants and needs. You have to ask yourselves whether you deserve to buy these items and whether the purchase value adds to your life.

5)      What kind of lifestyle do you desire? Have you asked yourselves why you are  working so hard? Do you desire a relaxed lifestyle when you retire? If the answer is yes, then I suggest that you should migrate overseas =) After I came back from Australia, I learnt that it doesn’t take much effort to lead a relaxed lifestyle there. The culture is such that anyone can lead such a lifestyle. The per hour wage is about A$15-20 and working hours are from 9-6pm. After work time is meant for family bonding whereas weekends are meant for gathering with friends or colleagues. Even if you are unemployed, the government will also provide you with social benefits. So basically it is a choice of abandoning everything in our home country or to migrate to another place to start all over again. We need to find a purpose for working hard. We can’t just work without a reason because one of these days, you will just wear out and find life meaningless.

Well that’s all for my two cents worth of sharing. Hope you can gain some insight through my experience. It’s always good to leverage on others than to go through itself.

All of us are supposed to share each of our own strengths and everyone of us are to comment whether he/she approves or to have anything to add on. It was quite an insightful sharing as each of us really gives our honest opinion of one another and we indeed get to know each other better. Most importantly, i believe such positive sharing is good because it is able to build up the positive spirit in you and allows you to be more motivated.

My boss, Alva, taught us something on how to develop yourselves in a more smarter way. He shared that in order to be an more successful person, one should not always work on improving their weaknesses but rather they should be looking at how to make use of their strength to their advantage and find people to complement what they are lacking at. This way, you are able to capitalise more and to achieve more. Personally i felt it was very true because most of us are always saying that they should improve on their weakness to be a better person or to be more successful. However at the end of the day, did they really become a more efficient or effective person? Not really i guess.

In my line before you come into this industry, you are supposed to take a personality test whereby it will be able to identify what is your bird type. The purpose of this test is so that we can have a better understanding of you and to also determine whether are you suitable for this job and what kind of methods of training works well for you. There are basically 4 types of birds namely: Peacock, Eagle, Dove & Owl. Well i shall not go into details on the personality of each bird but from the name of it, i hope you guys can roughly figure out the traits in them.

Another thing that i learnt from Alva was that to build up yourself in a more effective way, one should always find a BIGGER bird to learn and a OPPOSITE bird to work together. Eg: If you are someone who likes to lead, you should be finding someone similar to you but are more successful than you to learn from this person. In other words, MODEL HIM/HER. So how can an opposite bird works with you? In fact, they are the best person to work with because they are different from you! Another example: If you are a doer and seldom think of the details aspect of a project, you will need someone who thinks alot and analyse the whole project in a systematic way so that when you take actions, all things can go smoothly.

Having learnt these two things today, i hope to share with all my readers about this issue of understanding yourself. Spend some time to do some reflections and ask your good friends on what do they think of you? Thought sometimes the truth may hurts for some but i can assure you that it is good for you in the long run. Or if you like to do the bird personality test, do drop me an email and i will tell you how you can go about taking it =)

Have fun discovering about yourselves! Cheers!

Above is the cover page for my VERY FIRST BOOKLET that i am going to publish! I have been preparing this booklet for few months not because i write slow but due to the fact that i sent it for compliance reading and designing.

I can’t believe that i am actually coming up this booklet because i have never ever dreamt of publishing anything like this before. NEVER! But this dream still came true for me. I really have to thank my boss, Merry Riana and Alva, for inspiring me to write this booklet for my clients. Without their guidance, i believe that this booklet won’t not be possible.

The purpose of this booklet is really meant for my clients and i also like to have a feel of how is it like to be a ‘writer’ =) What i wrote in my booklet is what i have learnt and gathered throughout my experiences in the last 4 years. I really hope that many of my clients would be proud to have me as their only adviser and also will benefit from what i had to share with them.

I will keep you updated on the progress of my booklet and i am aiming to publish by next month! Stay tuned!

Learnt alot of new things from her and also had a good refreshment lesson. I am going to apply what i have learnt into good use. Otherwise i will have really wasted my precious 3 days at the training. In fact, in all the other seminars that people attended, only 5-10% of people will apply what they have learnt! Of course these people are the ones that become successful. Is it by chance or by choice? It’s definitely by choice and this time round, i am determined to make it my choice too =)

Really felt very lucky to be able to have a such a dynamic and good trainer as my mentor and i believe that without her guidance and teaching, I will not be where i am today. Seriously if i can say the best thing about our agency is that we have a team of committed managers who are always there to provide good training for all people. All these are done without being paid for. Everyone works because they wanted to bring out the best in everyone. It’s hard to find such an agency these days and i will treasure what i have now.

Anyway I will blog about what i have learnt in coming posts so hope you guys can stay tuned over here!

First of all, she shared with us about the importance of having a plan. It is not a normal plan of what you are doing daily or weekly but it is a plan that involved 10 years of your career! Not many people this days are able to do it because they are not serious about their career as they are taking the approach of what we called ’see see look look’ attitude. She told us the moment when she started out this career as a financial planner, she has planned out what she is going to achieve step by step in years to come. And guess what? She achieved everything in just a short 5 years!!!

Listening to such success stories have again reinforced the idea of law of attraction and importance of planning. Law of attraction works in a way that we will dream and visualise what we want the things in life to be and slowly our behaviour and actions will be more in tuned to this area. At the end of the day you will achieve the things that you been desiring. Planning of what you want in life is the first step of getting what you want. We should really sit down and think of what we want to achieve in life.

Merry Riana (my pretty boss) had shared with us her own personal dream book that she had it years ago when she was still a student. Inside her dream book consists of all her dreams including being a young millionaire, singer, no.1 trainer and of course a wonderful family of her own. So did she managed to achieve everything? OF COURSE not all tho =) But she can proudly said that she managed to get almost 90% of the things she desired since last time.

So with another success stories with regarding about a long term career/life plan, what are we waiting for? Right now, please go and sit down to think seriously about what do you want in your life for the next 10 years and how are you going to achieve it? Pen it down inside a book so that you can see it next time. You can make it nicer by placing many pictures (what you want to have) to create a more ‘real’ effect.

Secondly this lady also shared with us about passion. As usual for most people to be successful in any other career, he/she has to love the job. To love the job, the person needs to be passionate about it. To be passionate about it, you got to do it with interest. Though it may sounds easy and i believe many of us have heard it many times before but yet seldom of us managed to do it. Why???

In my opinion, i feel that it is because people did not put enough reasons to put behind the reason for doing something. Although it is just reasons but do u guys know that by just having strong reasons can just simply makes or breaks a person. Success is just sometimes depending on the reasons behind the action. Eg: If you want to be lose weight so you got to ask what are the reasons behind? Is it because it feels good to have it or because it is a must for you to have it if not your loved one will leave or look down on you?  If your reason is the latter, i am very sure you will lose weight real fast! I also believe that interest can be cultivated. So long you put enough time and effort in trying to learn something and most importanly associated feeling into the thing, interest will get stronger day by day.

Well i believe right now after reading it, you may feel motivated. If you are, take actions now! Go do your planning and talk to people that has been there done there. Get their advice and MODEL after them! But if you are still not motivated or convinced about the importance of having a plan in your career/life, go look for some reasons why you think it is not importance and ask whether is it really true that we should live life just as things come or we need to really plan ahead?

But what makes it so special this year was that i actually conducted my first very own agency time and goal setting with my consultants! Right now, i have about 3 consultants with me and a couple of them will be joining later this year. My goal for this year remains the same: 8 consutlants by end of the year! I set this goal earlier this year and true enough i am gearing all my actions into achieving this goal.

Attending goal setting has always been a very fruitful session for me because each time after coming out from it, i am always feeling very motivated! Like the others, i also have my fair share of losing focus along the way but one of the ways how i get it back was through goal setting session =) I remember there was this famous saying: Motivation is like bathing. It has to be done daily! Personally i find it very true especially in my profession where you gets alot of ups and downs. Of course, the good side is that you matures alot along the way.

I will continue to work towards my goal while making sure that i will see my consultants achieving their own goal. For those who are reading, i urge you not to give up your goals easily. Life without goal is like a ship without a captain, lost in the big ocean. Hence do you want to be lost?

The choice is yours! Cheers!
