Career Lesson from CEO of IBM, Ginni Rometty (One of the Top 10 most powerful women in business)
Career Lesson from CEO of IBM, Ginni Rometty (One of the Top 10 most powerful women in business):
Show grace under pressure.
I believe it is good to remain professional and calm even when things does not go the way you want it. Definitely better than being rude, speaking loudly, showing frustration, complaining and spouting vulgarities.
Stay cool, calm & professional. If you can handle it that way, you are good.

Napoleon Hill - Think and Grow Rich- Part 12-Accurate Thinking
Napoleon Hill - Think and Grow Rich- Part 12-
Accurate Thinking
Important Fact that will aid you in your major purpose in life.
List down the facts you deal with everyday - Important & Unimportant facts.
Recognise unsound opinions from accurate thinking.
The more successful the person is, the more they won't mention unsound opinions.
They will identify the source of which they were to speak.
Ask a simple forward question,"How do you know?"
Do this no matter what his status or who you are speaking.
Do not allow anyone to do the thinking for you or control the thinking for you.
Think by the rules to save you from your mistakes.
7 Rules to follow which if you memorise & follow as a daily habit, will bring you top rating as an Accurate Thinker.
- Rule #1: Never accept the opinions of other people as being facts until you have identified the source of those opinions and satisfy the source of accuracy.
- Rule #2: Rmb that free advice will bear the closest of examination before it is being acted upon being deemed safe. And generally speaking, this sort of advice is worth exactly what it cost.
- Rule #3: Alert yourself immediately when you hear anyone speaking to others in a discourteous or slanderous spirit. Because this should very fact should put you on notice that what you are hearing is bias to the very least about it.
- Rule #4: In asking others for information, do not disclose to them what you think the information to be, because most people have the bad habit of trying to please under such circumstances. Well measured and tactful questions can be of great benefit to you in thinking accurately.
- Rule #5: Remember that anything which exists anywhere throughout the universe is capable of proof, and where no such proof is available, it is safer to assume that no such thing exist.
- Rule #6: One of the great unexplanable miracles consist of the fact that most truth and falsehood, no matter by what means they may be expressed carry with them a silent invisible means of identifying themselves as such. Therefore remember this truth and begin developing the necessary intuitive faculty to enable you to sense what is false and what is truth.
- Rule #7: Follow the habit of asking, "How do you know?" when anyone makes a statement that you cannot identify as true.
Follow these habits faithfully and you will see many persons squirm and turn red in the face when you insist upon a direct reply. The most accurate thinkers are the scientists. They investigate with open minds and never allow their wishes to become the father of facts, but deal with each fact as it is, not as they would like it to be. Now one final word of warning I feel I should leave with you, "Study yourself carefully and you may discover that your own emotions are your greatest handicap in the business of accurate thinking. It is easy for you to believe at which you wish to believe, and unfortunately that is precisely what most people do. This is a method by which many people condemn themselves to eternal failure and defeat, and it is a method which opens wide that sealed envelope which contains the list of penalties for which they must pay for neglecting to take position of their minds and use them for constructive ends, beneficial to themselves.
The above text is extracted from the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uBFPPQ5IAY&feature=share to the best of my ability.

The Factor that Explains Most About Great Performance
The factor that seems to explain most about great performance is called Deliberate Practice. Deliberate practice is hard. The chief constraint is mental, regardless of the field, even in sports where we might think the physical demands are the hardest. To excel, to do one's best, to work hard and to spend one's time constructively, we're emphasised over and over again. The great performers were just like any other persons who people did not see that they will achieve anything that great.
There is an example of a person. This person had simply one thing in his mind. His goal was to make his million. To achieve great performance, things can't be too easy, if not it will become boring. But if things are too hard, there will be no motivation. Great performers want to continually improve themselves. Once they have reached a certain level, they strive to improve bit by bit. They need to have the passion in what they do.
This is an excerpt obtained from a book.

Progress, No Matter What by David Cross
=========================================
Article by the Expert: Progress, No Matter What
by David Cross
Article by the Expert: Progress, No Matter What
by David Cross
=========================================
I make it a point to follow up with everyone who asks me a
question about setting up an Internet business. It takes me
just a few seconds, and it usually motivates them to take
action.
Usually. But not always. After my most recent follow-up e-mail
to "Bob," for example, I received this response...
"Hi David,
"Sorry, we've been having challenges with infrastructure here
in paradise. Internet is more off than on. Our landline was
just fixed this week. It has been down since June 22. There
was a major fire at the power plant 2 weeks ago. And to add to
the festivities, I was assaulted by a crackhead who, I am
told, was turned into a zombie by some Haitian voodoo curse.
(I couldn't make this stuff up.) I am about to leave for
Albuquerque to visit my son and grandchildren. I haven't seen
them since my son's commissioning with the Air Force 8 years
ago. I am anxious to get going with my website. But, as you
can see, there have been a few distractions."
The last time I followed up with Bob, he had a few other
"distractions" that were preventing him from starting his Web
business (though none as interesting as being attacked by a
voodoo-cursed crackhead).
What I can't seem to get Bob to recognize is that achieving
success in your Internet business (or anything else) is not a
place you suddenly arrive at. It's part of a process. And it's
formed by a habit. A habit of doing something to progress
toward your goal every day, no matter what. I am not saying
that the "challenges" of day-to-day life won't throw you
off-kilter. But in the time it took Bob to write and explain
why he hadn't yet made a start, he could have made a start.
Just Do It!
Now is the time to start anything -- not necessarily a
brand-new business. It could be starting something new with an
Internet business you're already operating. Maybe advertising
on Facebook... using video on your website... or sending a
follow-up e-mail series to your subscribers.
For the online entrepreneur, now is always the time to make
improvements. To do more of something that's working; to stop
doing something that's not.
But when you have a long list of things you want to try...
how do you know what to focus on first?
The answer to that is easy. Focus on the one that will
generate the most results that most closely match the core
purpose of your business or your stated conversion goal.
Let's say your primary purpose is to build an e-mail list and
market to that list. In that case, what would give you the
best return on your investment of time and money? Should you
do paid search advertising? Write more articles? Build a new
shopping cart? Or test landing pages?
In my experience, you should begin with a combination of paid
search advertising and writing articles designed to drive
organic ("free") search engine traffic to a simple landing
page. On the landing page, you offer a free report on your
chosen topic. People who are interested in your topic sign up.
You deliver the report. You then e-mail them ongoing
information -- and offers -- related to that same topic.
You could get all of this set up with one day of focused
effort. You could start right now by spending just one hour to
open your Google AdWords account and create a single ad.
You say you can't find even one extra hour to work on your
Internet business? What about some of the time you spend idly
surfing the Web? Or watching television? According to a recent
Veronis Suhler Stevenson's Communications Industry Forecast
and Report, the average American spends 1,745 hours watching
television in a typical year. That works out to 145 hours a
month -- more than six full days in front of the TV every
month, or slightly less than five hours a day.
You cannot alter the fact that there are only 24 hours in a
day, but you can change the way you use them. So figure out
how to use some of those hours to make progress on your
Internet business goals. Do it now. There's no excuse not to.

5 Ways to Make Hard Decisions a Little Easier - by Yanik Silver
=========================================

a Little Easier - by Yanik Silver
Article by the Expert: 5 Ways to Make Hard Decisions
a Little Easier - by Yanik Silver
=========================================
Yesterday, my wife Missy woke up with her stomach in knots.
Clara, the woman who'd been cleaning our house for the past
two years, was becoming more and more unreliable. Sometimes
she called to say she'd be late - but sometimes she just
didn't show up at all. Not only that, but she was doing a
terrible job.
"I should probably fire her," Missy said. "Then again... she's
been working for us for a long time. And she used to be so
good. Maybe if I talk to her..."
Missy knew she had to do something about this problem, but had
been procrastinating for weeks. And watching her agonize over
it got me thinking about "tough" decisions - the kind we all
struggle with.
It seems to be easier to keep putting them off... but that
just prolongs the discomfort.
Whenever I've had a decision weighing on my mind, it's kept
nagging at me. But when I finally made the hard call, it was
never as bad as I had worked it up to be. In fact, I've found
that the longer you chew on it, the worse it gets.
Thinking back, there are two vivid examples that spring to
mind...
Breaking Away From My Dad's Business...
One of the biggest decisions I ever had to make was whether or
not to leave my father's business. I started working with him
when I was 14. And I fully intended to stay with him and help
grow the company - a medical equipment sales and service
business. But I got the "itch" to go on my own in 1998.
That's when I started experimenting with information
marketing.
At first, I spun off of my dad's business by selling
information to plastic surgeons on how to get more patients.
And my dad was pretty flexible. He let me use his office as my
home base while I was still working for him. Then he let me
take Fridays off so I had more time to work on my own
projects.
The idea that I was somehow "betraying" him and the family
business was eating me up. I knew my heart was no longer into
it, and I had to break away. My dad expected me to work with
him side-by-side until he retired. But I couldn't continue to
live my life based on someone else's expectations. I had to do
what was right for me. So, nine years ago, I made the decision
to leave the company.
Looking back, it was by far the best decision I ever made for
my financial future.
Attending My First Seminar...
To get my business off the ground, I had been learning a lot
about direct marketing. And when I got an invitation to a
copywriting seminar in Phoenix, I was tempted. This was back
in October 1998. But because the seminar was so expensive, I
almost passed up this opportunity that I later realized was
the turning point in my business (and bank account).
My fledging information marketing business had been pulling in
maybe $2,000 or $3,000 per month. No great shakes. So I was
understandably hesitant to spend several thousand dollars and
miss several days of work (both of which I couldn't afford) in
order to attend the seminar.
My dad thought I would be a fool to go. He chided me (in his
thick Russian accent) "Mr. Yanik, why do you want to throw
away your money. If you have so much of it, I can help you get
rid of it. Don't you already have enough of these books and
tapes?"
But I bit the bullet and went. Another tough - but smart -
decision.
Frankly, if I had listened to my dad, I know I wouldn't be
anywhere near where I am today. I can directly trace the
moment when everything "clicked" for me and I "got it" to that
seminar. That's when I discovered the power of how to use
words and turn them into cash windfalls.
I've found that people regret things they don't do much more
than things they do. That's not how I want to live my life -
brooding over "shouldas" "couldas" or "wouldas."
In fact, I believe that most of our "tough" decisions aren't
really so tough. But the longer it takes for us to get off the
fence and take action, the more we magnify them in our own
heads.
With that in mind, here are five simple things to try when you
are having trouble making a decision:
Decision-Making Method #1: Think about the worst-case
scenario.
What is the worst possible thing that can happen if you make
the wrong decision? It almost certainly won't happen - but
even if it does, you can probably live with it. When I was
torturing myself over going off on my own, for example, I had
wild thoughts of my father disowning me. Of course, he didn't
do that. He may have been disappointed, but he didn't flip
out.
Decision-Making Method #2: Listen to your gut.
This is huge! Don't try to rationalize your way out of making
the decision. You've got good instincts. Take advantage of
them.
Decision-Making Method #3: Give yourself a deadline.
If you give yourself an indefinite amount of time to decide on
a course of action, you'll never do it. Not to mention, you'll
drive yourself crazy! Think of yourself as the high-powered
CEO of your own life - an executive who MUST make decisions
quickly.
Decision-Making Method #4: Visualize your ideal

Decision-Making Method #4: Visualize your ideal
outcome.
This is an exercise I learned from my friend John Harricharan.
He calls it the "Power Pause." It takes three minutes - one
minute to think about what you want to happen... one minute to
think about how good you'll feel when it does happen... and
one minute to calm yourself down by thinking about what you
are already grateful for in your life.
Decision-Making Method #5: The Band-Aid solution.
You know how painful it can be to pull off a bandage
(especially for those of us who are kind of hairy)? Well, the
secret is to pull it off quickly. Nothing is worse than
paralysis by analysis. You'll never have all the information
you need to make the perfect decision. Do the best you can
with what you've got. Then move on.
And here's a bonus tip: When all else fails, flip a coin.
That's how I decided the time had come for me to propose to
Missy!
By the way, in case you're wondering what Missy decided to do
about Clara... she gave her a call and simply told her we
weren't going to be able to use her anymore. Much to Missy's
surprise, Clara was relieved. It seems that there's another
family much closer to her own neighborhood that she's been
wanting to work for, and she was happy to have us free up a
day for her.
There you go - all that angst and gut-wrenching turmoil could
have been avoided simply by making the decision to fire Clara
weeks ago.
This is an exercise I learned from my friend John Harricharan.
He calls it the "Power Pause." It takes three minutes - one
minute to think about what you want to happen... one minute to
think about how good you'll feel when it does happen... and
one minute to calm yourself down by thinking about what you
are already grateful for in your life.

Understand the Mental Power when you WANT & NEED something, and Find Out How to Attract Them to You Today!

Article by the Expert: The Best Advice a Father Can Give
by Matt Furey
==============================================
It hit me like a ton of bricks.
I couldn't believe I'd missed it before. I'd read the book
many, many times - but this time was different. A secret was
revealed to me - and today I'm going to give it to you.
If you are open and receptive to what you are about to read,
you can expect a major breakthrough.
Here it is:
"Psychologist David Seabury says that the best piece of advice
his father ever gave him was to practice positive mental
imagery - immediately and 'on cue,' so to speak, whenever he
became aware of negative feelings. Negative feelings literally
defeated themselves by becoming a sort of 'bell' which set off
a conditioned reflex to arouse positive states of mind."
Now read that passage again. It comes from the 35-million-copy
bestseller, Psycho-Cybernetics. Pay particular attention to
the words "the best piece of advice his father ever gave him."
Why? Because whenever something is "the best piece of advice"
someone can give you - especially your father - you know it's
got to be good.
In reading this passage, I not only see it as the best advice
I can give my son - but myself, and everyone I teach at my
seminars and in my coaching programs.
Many people wonder why I am always so calm, cool, and
collected. Many wonder how I am able to speak before a crowd
in such a nonchalant, totally relaxed way and still have
everyone totally riveted.
It's mostly because I have no thoughts of resistance when I
speak. I'm not concerned about offending anyone. I'm not even
trying to get people to like me. I am simply ME, take it or
leave it.
Very few people are like this. They're always trying to figure
out how to get others to approve of them or like them. Not
good. Because the more you NEED others to like you the less
they will like you.
Same goes with money. The more you NEED it, the more it will
stay away from you. Money and friends go where they are wanted
- not where they are needed. There is a world of difference
between want and need. One attracts. The other repels.
Want comes from a vibration of "I'm happy already and I'd like
to have this, too." Need comes from a vibration of "I'm
miserable and frustrated and I need this thing to make me
happy."
Become aware of negative NEED feelings when they arise. And
when they do, learn, through practice, to have those feelings
immediately trigger the thought to change your vibration into
a "feel good" one.
Most people have never been taught to do this by their fathers
- or by anyone else. They've been taught to set goals, to have
a burning desire, to be optimistic and have a positive
attitude.
But what do you do when you look at the state of your finances
and you feel bad? What do you do when the reality of your
situation begins to ruin your day? What do you do when you're
feeling frustrated, fearful, and worried? You do what Dr.
Seabury's father told him to do... and what I'm telling you
to do.
First, you "recognize" that you are feeling bad.
Second, you understand that this "feel bad" vibration REPELS
what you say you want. Your want is not a want. It's a need
that comes with the expectation that something outside of
yourself will make you happy.
Third, you recognize that this "feel bad" imagery sends a
signal to the Universe that you cannot be happy "for no
particular reason." And that's not good.
There is a balancing act between having a burning desire and
having a desire that burns you.
Having a burning desire creates the necessary mindset that
will attract the thing you want. On the other hand, if the
desire is connected to "I'm miserable unless I have this thing"
- then you are chasing success and that success will always
run faster than you do.
Your objective is to attract success, not chase it. Chasing
success is repelling success. You never get what you are
chasing.
Several years ago, a man sent me an e-mail in which he accused
me of "chasing the almighty dollar." He was wrong. At that
point in my life, I couldn't even form a mental image of
myself doing what he said I was doing.
When I did chase the almighty dollar - and I did it for years
- I had no money. When I stopped chasing and learned to
attract it, it flowed into my life so fast I was nearly
knocked over.
The forces of attraction and repulsion are always at play.
Whether you attract more than you repel or repel more than you
attract is simply a matter of how strong those forces are. If
your repelling energy is stronger, you go deeper into debt. If
your attraction energy is stronger, you get wealthier. If both
are equally strong, you feel "stuck."
Now the question is... what do you do if you are repelling
more than you're attracting?
The answer:
1. You change the way you feel by changing the mental

Now the question is... what do you do if you are repelling
more than you're attracting?
The answer:
1. You change the way you feel by changing the mental
picture you have of your situation.
Every time you feel a negative emotion, you sound the alarm in
your head. "Uh, oh. Not good. Change the mental picture to a
positive one." You do this over and over, and before long the
feel-bad vibe lasts less than a second and you're back to
feeling good.
2. You begin each day with exercises that help you go

your head. "Uh, oh. Not good. Change the mental picture to a
positive one." You do this over and over, and before long the
feel-bad vibe lasts less than a second and you're back to
feeling good.
2. You begin each day with exercises that help you go
through the whole day without resistance.
You don't just read inspirational messages and books. You
stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself what you want.
You picture what you want when you speak. You recall previous
successes and link them to your future.
3. You have a burning desire in mind, a goal.
You don't expect the goal to give you happiness. You don't let
the desire for it burn you by feeling bad that you don't yet
have it. In fact, even though you WANT the goal, you are able
to "walk away" from it emotionally. If, for example, you want
more money - you don't expect more money to give you
happiness. You simply want more money - and you put yourself
into happiness mode NOW.
If you're happy even though you don't yet have in your
possession the thing you want - then you are attracting it
to you.
If you're unhappy because you don't yet have in your
possession the thing you NEED - then you are repelling it.
So get happy NOW.
Recognize that fear, frustration, and angst are only there to
help you change course. They're there to help you see that
your mental picture is off-target. Put the right mental image
back onto the screen of your mind and watch how the Universe
lines things up in your favor.

Power Thought of the Week: There is Great Power in the
First Time - by Mark Foo
There's a first time for everything.
There was the first time Arnold picked up a weight.
There was the first time Christian Bale had an audition for a
movie.
There was the first time Oprah had her own TV show with a very
small audience.
There is great power in the first time and not a lot of people
realize this because they're too afraid to try it.
So go for it, even if it's your first time because in that
first time, lays the elements of courage, desire, and faith
that you will need in order to go the second time, and the
third, and the fourth, and the fifth until you pick up
everything you need along the journey, only to realize that it
was because of taking that first step, that you discovered
everything you ever needed came after it.

Article by the Expert: Success Loves Speed by Robert Ringer
=========================================
Article by the Expert: Success Loves Speed
by Robert Ringer
=========================================
I've written a lot about the importance of acting sooner rather
than later, without waiting to figure out everything in advance.
Human motivation certainly plays a role here. Nothing says this
more succinctly than marketing guru Joe Vitale's aphorism:
Money loves speed.
When I mentioned this in a recent teleseminar, one of the
callers asked if I could be more specific. He wanted to know
why money loves speed.
Before I answer that, let me say that this is not just true
about money. It's true in all areas of life. I don't recall
ever succeeding at something because I got there last.
* If you want to buy tickets from a scalper for a big game
that's sold out, get there first. Tickets love speed.
* If you want a job that you just found out about, get
there first. Jobs love speed.
* If you want to win the guy or gal who has your heart
pounding, get there first. Guys and gals love speed.
* If you want to get the investment property that just
came on the market, get there first. Investment
properties love speed.
And so on. Because success, in general, loves speed.
So, why does success love speed? The answer is to be found in
the dictionary. Action is defined as "the causation of change."
Whatever result you want, it's a change from what you now have.
By definition, then, a change has to take place for you to get
from your present status to that result.
Following are some of the more important reasons why I believe
action begets results.
1. When you do too much planning, there's a tendency to think
of one reason after another why what you're contemplating
won't work.
Many of the reasons you come up with may be correct. But the
important thing is that it doesn't matter. Why? Because, as
you move forward, circumstances continually change -- and
those changes often render irrelevant many of the concerns you
may have had before taking action. In other words, don't try
to figure out steps two, three, and four before taking step
one.
The legendary Joe Karbo once told me that he ran his first ad
for The Lazy Man's Way to Riches (a million-copy seller)
before he even began to write the book! In fact, he told me
that the ad he wrote served as an outline for the book itself.
Talk about going against conventional wisdom...
2. When you procrastinate, you tend to lose your enthusiasm.
Homeostasis -- the tendency to live with existing conditions
and avoid change -- sets in. You get comfortable with the way
things are and allow your great idea to fade into the comfort
zone of oblivion. But when you take action, your creative
juices flow faster, your resourcefulness kicks into high gear,
and the things, people, and circumstances you need to
accomplish your objectives are drawn to you almost like magic.
As a result, your motivation to succeed becomes elevated.
This is not hocus-pocus. I've done it enough times to be able
to assure you that it really works.
3. Even though changing circumstances often negate many
initial concerns you may have had, they can also place new
obstacles in your path.
If you wait too long before taking action, the opportunity may
become less and less appealing to you as those obstacles start
to make their appearance. I wrote about this danger in my book
To Be or Not to Be Intimidated? under the auspices of the
Fiddle Theory. The Fiddle Theory states: "The longer you
fiddle around with a deal, the greater the odds that it will
never close."
Time is your ally when you take action, but time is a
two-sided coin. If you hesitate or procrastinate, time becomes
your worst enemy. As a general rule, I assume that if I take
action, perceived problems will tend to disappear and that the
more I hesitate, the more time there is for new obstacles to
make their appearance.
4. Perhaps the most important reason of all for taking action
now is that time is finite.
No matter how proficient you are, you can only accomplish so
much in a lifetime. Every second that's wasted reduces the
totality of what you can accomplish by one second. Some people
maintain that a constant feeling of urgency to accomplish more
is stressful, but I find the opposite to be true. I feel more
stress when I procrastinate -- when I'm not doing what I know
I should be doing. There's not a worse feeling in the world
than to be conscious of the fact that your finite supply of
time is ticking away while you focus on straightening your
desk drawer.
Of course, nothing in life is perfect. There will be times
when moving too fast can end up hurting you. But, on balance,
the empirical evidence derived from my own experience has
convinced me that what I gain from moving fast far outweighs
the losses I may incur as a result of too little planning.
That being the case, when you fall -- and you will fall --
simply pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and take more
action. Success could care less about mistakes. Success loves
action -- and human motivation leads to action.

WHAT DO WANT IN YOUR LIFE? Check out the CLUES OF PURPOSE & PASSION that LEAD YOU to YOUR RIGHT DIRECTION!
This is a continuation of my previous post here. 
I attended Merry Riana's 1-day 'I am Woman' workshop, so the previous post was more about women and for women.
But I feel that there are some very important and useful knowledge that I learnt and want to share with everyone!
Below are the knowledge that I learnt and want to share them with more people and help more people discover about themselves.
WHAT DO WANT IN YOUR LIFE?
Is this what you are saying to yourself, "I don't know what I want in my life. Life is so meaningless."
These are the CLUES OF PURPOSE AND PASSION!
- Your Secret Fantasy of your Wish and Desires in your Life
- Jealous & Envy (it may not be a bad thing. Whatever that you may envy, it makes you feel that it is something that you want.)
- Bodily Symptoms (for example, when you which a cooking show, you just get so fired up and excited. Your body may unconsciously be telling you that it may be something that you want.)
- Crisis
- Recurring Dreams, Vision
- Talents & Strengths
- Play of a Child (What did you like to play or do when you were a child? Do you like to sing?)
There you have it, these are the CLUES that help you DISCOVER PURPOSE AND PASSION.
KNOWING YOUR PASSION & PURPOSE gives you the DIRECTION. Your Passion and Purpose tells you where your DESTINATION is, thus you know whether you are heading in the RIGHT DIRECTION.
Moving in the Right Direction, makes you feel that you are living in a Meaningful life, knowing that you are on your way to your Destination.
Merry Riana spoke of her 2 SECRET FORMULAS to SUCCESS:
#1 - Finding the RIGHT DIRECTION
#2 - Finding the RIGHT STRATEGIES
So what do you mean by RIGHT DIRECTION?
Merry Riana (MR): Why do go to work? Why do you want to look good? For what?
People always ask,"How can I be successful?"
But do you know what you want in the first place, what is your passion or purpose in life?
MR gave an analogy to represent Direction.
Imagine that you are in City Hall MRT, you ask the MRT staff,"which train should I take?"
What do you think the staff will say?
"WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?"
Most people don't know their direction and don't know what they want.
So what do most people do?
They tend to take the first train that arrives, that eventually leads them to nowhere! Because they don't even know where they want to go in the first place!
Merry Riana shared about her 1 Big Secret to her Success:
"Because I Dare to Dream BIG!"
You can download her Free Ebook, Dare To Dream BIG!, in her website http://www.merryriana.com/
Now, when you are doing what you are not passionate about, you will feel these Symptoms of Disconnectedness from your Inner Self.
So what are these symptoms that make you feel that you are in the wrong place and feeling that you are heading in the wrong direction?
Here they are:
Symptoms of Disconnectedness from your Inner Self
- Not knowing what to do - Frozen or Stuck
- Emotional Pain/Turmoil - Depression
- Exhaustion
- Can't sleep at night
- Addictions
- Recurring Problems or Failures
When you feel disconnected, you need to STOP what you are doing so routinely, and start asking yourself questions to discover more about yourself and recap back through the Clues of Purpose and Passion.
CLUES OF PURPOSE AND PASSION
- Your Secret Fantasy of your Wish and Desires in your Life
- Jealous & Envy

LEARN TO LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!
Currently, while you are living your Life, Are you feeling LOST, BURN-OUT or FRUSTRATED?
Or are you already Living The Life That You Want? The Extraordinary Life?
There are 4 different types of people.
RIGHT DIRECTION | WRONG DIRECTION | |
RIGHT STRATEGY | EXTRAORDINARY | BURN-OUT |
WRONG STRATEGY | FRUSTRATED | LOST |
An example of being LOST - Earning poorly and also find no meaning, passion or purpose in your work.
An example of being BURN-OUT - Earning very well but find no meaning, passion or purpose in your work.
An example of being FRUSTRATED - Doing what you love or like, but not earning the wealth you desire.
An example of being EXTRAORDINARY - Doing what you love or like, and earning the wealth you desire.
A REAL STORY of BURN-OUT to EXTRAORDINARY
There was this person who took a Finance Degree and working in a bank, but finds life meaningless. But after watching a show on cooking, she felt those bodily symptoms of excitement. She finally realized that cooking was what she wanted to do. Eventually she went on to take a degree in cooking, and went from being a great cake baker and cake designer.
She was so good in her artistic cake work that she was invited to be on cooking shows. Although she is not earning the kind of money that she had previously, she now feels life is meaningful and that she is living the kind of life that she loves and enjoys doing.
Merry Riana: "I am where I am right now, is because I Dare To Dream BIG!"
"Dare To Dream BIG!"
"I live my everything." (Meaning that you don't need to think about choosing between Career or Family. You can have BOTH, when you do your good planning and organising of certain activities.)
I will be LIVING MY EVERYTHING! Will You?

'I AM WOMAN' Workshop by Merry Riana
Hi Everyone,
I attend Merry Riana 'I AM WOMAN' Workshop today at AKLTG Training Centre at Keppel Towers.
It started at 10am and ended at 5pm. It is a Women-only workshop where there were about more than a hundred people there.
Merry Riana is a Millionaire Entrepreneur, Best-Selling Author and Motivational Speaker.
It is a great workshop, that has thought me about Image Mastery and Personal Mastery.
In the first half of the talk, Merry spoke about the Image Destroyers for women, then we learnt about Power Dressing.
In the first half of the talk, Merry spoke about the Image Destroyers for women, then we learnt about Power Dressing.
POWER DRESSING
Hair: Short or neatly tied up; well-styled
Face: Clean and well-maintained skin; appropriate make-up
Clothes: Suit (pant/skirt), jacket, dress
Accessories: Classic and elegant styles
Shoes: Court shoes or pumps; classic style
Grooming: Clean nails; fresh and pleasant smell
FACE ANALYSIS
There are 8 types of face shapes.
Oval-shape faces rule all, those are the most optimal faces that fits all kinds of hairstyles, whether is it straight or long or curly.
Whatever the shape, the basic rule is that you need to do up yourself to make sure that you have an Oval-shape face.
- Basically if you have an Inverted-Triangle Face, then it would be better for you to keep some Curly Hair about shoulder length, so that you cover up your pointed face, to make it look fuller.
After that we went into Colour Analysis of clothes, of what you should or should not wear at certain functions.
Sorry too much details, won't be typing it all out here.
Next we went into Body Analysis. Basically, the optimal body is an Hourglass shape body, meaning the width of your shoulder is the same as your hips.
So if your shoulder and hips are not of equal width, you will either wear clothes that make your shoulders broader, like wearing puffy clothes or shoulder pads, or if you want to make your hips broader, you can wear flair skirt. To make yourself look best, wear clothes to make your body look as hourglass as possible.
Then after that she asked us to discuss with at least 2 persons, "What makes you feel so proud to be a woman?"
Then you get all sorts of answers during the sharing.
Merry Riana then spoke of the 3 Challenges Women Face.
3 CHALLENGES WOMEN FACE
1) Success ("I'm not successful enough.")
2) Balance ("It's hard to have a complete/balance life.")
3) Time for Self ("I feel lost, it has been a long time since I have time for myself.")
Then we were asked to vote on the 1 of the challenges that you feel is biggest to you in your life.
Majority answered SUCCESS, was the biggest challenge to them.
She spoke of the 2 SECRET FORMULAS to SUCCESS:
#1 - Finding the RIGHT DIRECTION
#2 - Finding the RIGHT STRATEGIES
So what do you mean by RIGHT DIRECTION?
Merry Riana (MR): Why do go to work? Why do you want to look good? For what?
People always ask,"How can I be successful?"
But do you know what you want in the first place, what is your passion or purpose in life?
MR gave an analogy to represent direction.
Imagine that you are in City Hall MRT, you ask the MRT staff,"which train should I take?"
What do you think the staff will say?
"WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?"
Most people don't know their direction and don't know what they want.
So what do most people do?
They tend to take the first train that arrives, that eventually leads them to nowhere! Because they don't even know where they want to go in the first place!
Merry Riana shared about her 1 Big Secret to her Success:
"Because I Dare to Dream BIG!"
You can download her Free Ebook, Dare To Dream BIG!, in her website http://www.merryriana.com/
MR said that she made a resolution at 20 years old, "I will achieve my financial freedom by 30 years old."
Did she have any idea or strategy on how she was going to make it? NO!
But she was committed to make it happen for her.
Exercise: Can you tell me what things do you need to have to live and Extraordinary life?
Audience: Time, Money, Wealth, Peace, Career, Family, Passion in what you do, Guilt-free shopping, freedom, friendship, share & give back, Luck, satisfaction, sex.
Audience: Time, Money, Wealth, Peace, Career, Family, Passion in what you do, Guilt-free shopping, freedom, friendship, share & give back, Luck, satisfaction, sex.
Next Exercise: Is there any woman out there who you think are living an Extraordinary life?
Audience: Oprah Winfrey, Ho Ching, Claire Chiang, Elim Chew, Olivia Lum, Nanz Chong, Victoria Beckham
MR: "These are the people in your own opinion that you believe lived an extraordinary life."
"Mother Theresa is living an Extraordinary life, but have no money."
It is not what you have that make you happy. It is WHO YOU ARE that makes you Special!
Identify who you are, who am I?
What am I passionate in?
What is it that you are wanting all your life?
Check out the CLUES of Purpose/Passion, to be continued here!

Robin Sharma Insightful Video
Hi Everyone,
I highly encourage all to check out the video below.I wrote some insightful pointers below too.
Insightful Pointers:
- Surround yourself with people whose life you want to be living.
- Ideation without Execution is nothing more than Delusion.
- Be one of the brave souls to go out there executing flawlessly around those ideas even if it is just taking your first step and running towards your fears.
- Be a Man or Woman of Action.
- One of the best things you can do is spend some time each day THINKING.
- If it was easy getting world class and extraordinary, then everyone would be doing it.
- Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com, said, "I knew that if I failed, I won't regret it. But I knew that 1 thing I might regret, is not trying."
- The failure in life is the failure to try.
- The greatest risk you will ever face in your life is a riskless living.
- Keep dreaming, keep growing, keep getting better, keep talking to people, and keep pushing the politic possibilities.

Successful People Stay Focused on Their Core Genius
Successful People Stay Focused on Their Core Genius
"inside of you a core genius... some one thing that you love to do, and do so well, that you hardly feel like doing anything else. It's effortless for you and a whole lot of fun. And if you could make money doing it, you'd make it your lifetime's work.
In most cases, your Core Genius is directly tied to your passions and life-purpose."
co-authored, compiled and edited more than 150 books, and I love to do it! I do it well, and people report that they get great value from it."
So now, firstly is to find what is your Core Genius.
Hmmm... what's my Core Genius?
What is it that you love to do and hardly feel like doing anything else?
For myself (pls note everyone is different), I enjoy completing tasks and knowing that after completing those tasks, I'm on my way to achieving something big or great. I need to constantly focus on that ultimate goal or achievement that I would want to achieve, and that is my motivation to completing those smaller tasks.
I'm not really into training or teaching because, I'm not a natural speaker and usually introvert.
I have the capability to complete task assigned to me on an individual basis at a pretty good pace, depending on the tasks. I enjoy completing tasks as it gives me a sense of achievement.
Although I pretty much enjoy content writing, I haven't found much opportunity that I can earn while writing contents. I can be a super hardworker, only when I can see that real destination and have that belief that the goal or reward is definitely there.
Simply daydreaming and wishing with no results shown is not for me.
I want to dream, as well as find out the logical steps to get me there. I'm a pretty down-to-earth person as well as a person who wants to achieve my big dreams.
If you have any ideas or comments or feedback for me on this Core Genius thingy, let me know yeah.
Cheers, Lina
This is a summarised version of "Stay Focused on Your Core Genius by Jack Canfield"
I have noted down the information that we really need.
"inside of you a core genius... some one thing that you love to do, and do so well, that you hardly feel like doing anything else. It's effortless for you and a whole lot of fun. And if you could make money doing it, you'd make it your lifetime's work.
In most cases, your Core Genius is directly tied to your passions and life-purpose."
What is your Core Genius? See Jack Canfield example.
"For me, my core genius lies in the area of teaching, training, coaching and motivating. Another core genius is writing and compiling books. Over my 35 year career, I have written,co-authored, compiled and edited more than 150 books, and I love to do it! I do it well, and people report that they get great value from it."
Find the time to focus on your core genius and to delegate most menial of tasks.
