Leadership Seminar

Greetings! So I just got back this past Monday from a short weekend trip to KL. Purpose of visit? Both business and pleasure. Every quarterly, me and brother (also my business partner) along with a few of our associates will attend a major seminar over in KL. We've been asked several times before why we repeatedly spend money to keep going back to these functions. Well the truth is, we don't consider it as "spending" money but more so "investing". See the difference is merely perspective. The other agenda of our trip is of course going on a crazy food eating spree! You'll also see plenty of images of the food we gobbled up! (Which I will upload in a separate post) This trip also provided us a fantastic opportunity to meet up with the principal of our Precious Metals business to discuss expansion plans. The great thing about having mentors in our lives is that we don't have to scratch our heads figuring out what works or what doesn't. A mentor has already been where you want to be, so all you've gotta do is to just trust, listen and follow! She has certainly given us a bigger vision of where our precious metals business is headed.

This past seminar was certainly one of the most emotionally charged ones we've been to in recent memory. (and we've been to a few) It served as a reminder of the things that are truly important in life. The invited guest speaker hailed from India and has successfully built an international business in multiple regions around the world. He held an important corporate position in a little company you may have heard of called "Oracle" in the States, and one day just decided to just quit and return to his home country of India to start building his business which has yielded him no results in the past 5 years straight. Did he know whether its going to work for him? Certainly not, but all he knew was success was non-negotiable. He now lives a life free of financial concerns and travels around the world to inspire others to do the same. He is living evidence of faith in action.

The key word is "leveraging".

In our line of business, we also help people attain optimal health and also get paid for doing it!

Your emcees for the evening!

What's your excuse?

Other people's opinion about me does not change my reality. How about you? Are you concerned about what others think about you?

The speaker closed out the 3 day weekend leadership seminar with an impactful statement, he said that all the attendees of the function had left our loved ones at home for a few days in search of information and knowledge that we can bring back to build a better future for our loved ones. Logically, there are plenty of reasons why you should build a part time business. Things are certainly not getting any cheaper whilst paychecks remain stagnant. Can your retirement fund support your standard of living when you retire? In this economy, is ignorance really bliss?. To me, it is no longer an option to build multiple sources of income, it is a MUST.

I'll close out this post with a quote from one of my heroes, Nick Vujicic. "Risk, then, is not just part of life. It is life. The place between your comfort zone and your dream is where life takes place. It's the high anxiety zone, but it's also where you discover who you are." Question is, are you willing to step out of your comfort zone?
