Are You Pigging Out... Like Me ?

Boy, I've gotten back from France just a week ago and I'd love to tell you about all those glorious food. If you've ever been to France, it would be filled with lots of real fatty food to enjoy. Here's a picture of me pigging out all the way...


Want to know what's the stuff I'm constantly sticking into my mouth without blinking? Read on and I'll reveal this to you in a few minutes. But first, I've got a little something to share with you. Remember that I've been telling you the story of the nice lady I met on the flight on the way back to Singapore in AF256? Let's carry on from there.

If you know, there's a real festive season not just here in Singapore, Malaysia and China but probably celebrated around the world with lots of joy and reds packets filled with money (ang pow). It's called Chinese New Year. According to Chinese calendar the Lunar New Year starts on the 18th February 2007 this year. This festivity will mean that all family and/or friends will come together for a joyous occasion.

Again, more food.. oh no! Well, ones gotta eat. Ok, let's get back on track shall we?

I managed to gather with a few of my cousins and got to know some new updates about how they were getting along and some of their own financial plans. What I found out is that at least 90% of them didn't know what was internet marketing about or even if those 10% knew, I was the one who told them about it.

This shows that there are those in our society today that are still not aware of the great hidden potential of the internet and it's power to bring us great wealth; when used wisely. I like the quote given by Robert Kiyosaki in his books saying "In the Information Age (today), wealth will be transfered from those who do not know, to those to know". While everyone is 'pigging out' during this time or in the next 24 hours, how about you make a difference in your life today and learn something new online.

Be it doing a new web page, writing an article, blogging (like me), writing an email (heck, even this is a skill, you know!) or just plain chatting and communicating online. This will all add onto your lifetime wealth. It won't be easy but it's a start. Go ahead and upgrade yourself this festive season.

Happy and Prosperous 2007 to you!

P.S : By the way, the goo-ey stuff that I'm eating is cheese... melted cheese.

Official Millionaire In Air France

Although, it was a 12 hours flight from France to Singapore. It was a certainly pleasant one as there was always someone I meet along the way whom I had a golden opportunity to talk and discuss with. At this point in time, if you've decided to fly somewhere always keep an entreprenurial mindset.




Smile and introduce yourself if you don't already know the name of the person next to you. It helps to warm up the atmosphere between you. This flight which was AF256 I had the chance to sit next to a nice lady named Anne. She was on the same flight as me transiting to Australia after Singapore. So, we had the chance to discuss and exchange views along the way.

Here's how it went...

Anne: Hi (with a BIG smile... man, her teeth is really white!), are you going back from holidays?

Me : Oh Hi! (embarrased I'd not greet her earlier and fumbling with my safety buckle), no actually I'm on my way back from a business trip. The thing is I enjoyed it as I had the chance to go skiing for the first time too.

Anne: Wow, it's your first time ? I'm sure it was fun.

Me: What about you ? It seems you're on your way for a holiday.

This is how it got started and I wished to continue scripting it for you but it would take up plenty of your time and I'm going to compact it to be easier for you to digest. Basically, I found out that she was from Paris. A practising lawyer who is now caught between the corporate world and working on her business which was an almost-established private practice.

She had the miraculous chance to go back to Australia for about 2 weeks to attend her brothers wedding in Perth. Here's the thing, she doesn't even know the bride or met her before. That's how we got started talking and I was able to get get core value about having not enough time to spend with her personal life.

OK, you don't have to keep guessing. She's a successful person by profession. Normally, I'd wanted to say that having 2 firms of her own in both Paris and in Marseille would make her already wealthy and also having a few properties which are generating cashflow is nice. She just hit one major dead end. No matter what, she didn't have enough time or manpower to run her businesses, travel time or even at corporate work.

In fact, being caught between "closing down" her passion at business and going back to the corporate world almost destroyed her internally.

I continued to talk to her very personally sharing some entreprenurial insights about why we are entrepreneurs before we are business minded people because thats what motivates us. The very same burning passion about what we do is why we decided to get into starting a business is very simply... it is always an achievement.

You probably want me to get to the point? Alright here you go.

I told her that if she continued that way she would not have enough time for her business even if it had many clients, that she might have to end up working weekends late (which was already happening). Also, if she lost her job probably she'd have no way of having a steady income stream to survive.

Then, I told her about how I run my online business. It runs 24 hours, 7 days a week regardless of whether I'm awake or asleep an it is 'automated' after I have established my basic 'infrastructure'. It also will generate a recurring income and probably more if I decide to work more on it.

Here's the punch line!

I'm in profit (recovered every single cent I spent) after only 7 months!

She was so amazed and just said that "Wow! That's exactly what I want! A business that runs even without my full involvement. So, I will have both income and time on my hands. I admire what you're doing because this requires great technical mastery!"

I just smiled, and had wanted to explain it isn't that hard... but ... I kept smiling and said,

"Thanks"

She went to sleep after a short meal.

The point is, it just takes more than 1 hour of conversation to explain how I did it.

If you're still reading this. You're going to wonder the same question as her probably "Vern, how in the world did you do it and what did you do?"

Stick around. You'll find out soon for just being a loyal reader ;)
