London Trip
By ebizmind | April 13, 2008
What an awesome trip! A trip that is meant for Pesonal Development. It was my first trip to London and I just love the place the moment I’m on the street. Cool weather, beautiful ancient buildings and huge parks. Me and Pauline have arranged to reach London 3 days before the long anticipated Success University International Convention which was held at Hilton Metropole London, England.
We spent the 3 days visiting most of the tourists’ attraction like Buckingham Palace, London Tower & Tower Bridge, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, London Dungeon, Chinatown and enjoying rides like The Big Bus, the London Eye, cruising pass London Tower Bridge and enjoying all the new cum old buildings along the famous River Thames.
And guess what happened on the Sunday morning? It was snowing! Really cold, especially when the wind blew our faces, but that was really fun as we don’t have the chance to experience it here in Singapore.
A leaders’ dinner followed by 2 days of convention was motivating, inspiring and empowering! We enjoy some personal time with mentors like Matt Morris, Johnny Wimbrey, Tony Michael, Kalpesh Patel, Gary Eby and Jerry Clark. Johnny and Kalpesh are such an inspiration to proof that lives can be transformed when you are committed to do whatever it takes for it to happen!
Do share some of our happy moments and energy there..

Lead Yourself First
By ebizmind | February 14, 2008
By Rich Vosler
So, you want to be a leader? It’s not as easy as it sounds but it is simple if you take the suggestions outlined here that I’m going to give you.
Many people believe that tenure at a job or in a position automatically qualifies them to be a leader. There are even some companies who practice that. I think that could be disastrous. On the other hand, if the candidate does an excellent job in the position and they have demonstrated leadership qualities, by all means they may be a good leader. But time in a position is not the only qualification.
What I’ve seen proven again and again in terms of sales and management is that the best salesperson does not necessarily make the best leader. I know some phenomenal sales people who would make terrible managers, and they’ve told me so! Sure they are skilled in the technical aspects of sales and are excellent at what they do, but that doesn’t mean that they have what it takes to be a leader. Leadership is much more than knowing what to do on a job or how it works. I don’t want to focus on that for this specific article because there’s a very important step that comes before leading others that many experts don’t talk about and that’s leading yourself.
I’m going to tackle 3 areas of this subject that I think are crucial to your development and
success. They are:
–Accepting responsibility for where you are in your life
–Taking responsibility for where you are going
–Gathering the help you need
–Accepting responsibility for where you are in your life
This may be the toughest step for you in leading yourself but if you do it, I promise you
that the rest of the journey will be easy. Here’s where you look at your life and acknowledge where you are and why you are where you are. It’s where you stand in front of the mirror and say hello to your biggest problem and the cause of all your life’s anxiety
and strife: You. Accepting responsibility for where you are brings you to the realization
that you are in charge of your life and everything that has happened to you up to this
point. It’s where you realize it’s either all your fault or an Act of God. By Act of God I
mean a natural disaster or the death of a loved one. Those are about the only 2 things that you have no control over. And if I had more time with you I might be able to develop a good argument that we can control those as well.
You might be saying, “C’mon Rich. You know I lost my job because my boss didn’t like me or because I wasn’t able to reach my quotas. He gave all the good accounts away! Then the market tanked! That had nothing to do with me. He fired me because he hated me.” Well, you’d better sit down before you read my response to that. Here it is: You can look at every “bad” situation in your life and run it over and over in your mind and, if you really try, you can find at least one thing (probably many things) that you could have done better. And it may have been that one thing that would have changed the outcome of that situation.
Going forward, I want you to pay close attention to every interaction you have with people. When you’re through with your interaction I want you to make a mental note of what you would have liked to do better, say better or how you would have responded better. The key here is your response to the things that happen to you. You can “B and moan” or you can look at it constructively to gain some insight. The best leaders see how they can get value out of every situation they are faced with. As this becomes a habit, you’ll find that your interactions will go much better.
–Taking responsibility for where you are going
This second step is very easy once you accept responsibility for where you are. But you
can’t skip the first step. Taking the steps in order will give you clarity and will naturally progress you to the next step. Here’s where you now know that everything that’s happened to you up to this point is your fault and you commit to fixing or changing it. This
is where you need to start dreaming. Dream about where you want to go and what you want to do. Spend time making a list of everything you want to be, do, have or change. Take the limits off and write down whatever you can think of - short term and long term. Then turn them into actual goals. A good goal setting program comes into play here too. You’ll need to learn how to set, track and achieve your goals. Goals are like a compass on a map. They help you get from point A to point B. You already figured out point A in the first step we talked about, now it’s time to discover point B by making your dream list and then turning that list into goals.
–Gathering the help you need
Now that you’ve accepted the responsibility for where you are and have begun taking
responsibility for where you’re going, you’ll need to gather some help to assist you in
getting there. There are a couple of things you should begin to implement. You’ll need a
good personal development program that consists of positive, motivational material including books, CDs and seminars. Charlie “Tremendous” Jones says this: “You are the same today that you’ll be 5 years from now except for 2 things: The people you meet and the books you read.”
These are not the only steps for you to take on your quest to lead yourself. But I think
that they are the first 3 steps you should take. Remember, change takes time. Don’t get
frustrated if you’re not seeing results quickly. One book, one CD or one seminar is not
going to undo 30 or 40 years of programming. Learn to give yourself a break and be proud that you are on the road to change. I know you can do this and I definitely believe in you!

Learning The Basic Principles Of Marketing
By ebizmind | January 11, 2008
If no one has heard about what you are offering, you have absolutely nothing. Marketing encompasses all the things you do to promote your business and your products or services. Without a proper marketing effort, you will never stand out from the crowd. Here are the principles you must bear in mind in order to score an effective marketing effort measurable in sales.
1. Identify your target group. Focus your marketing campaign on a specific category. Effectively selling a product to teenagers requires a completely different discourse than for selling it to people in their 40s. Instead of scattering your message to the whole world, address only a certain segment of the market and you will have greater chances of success.
2. Know your customers. After selecting your targeted group and before sending your marketing message, understand the needs and wants of your potential customers. You must see what their reasons are for buying your product and then sell to those particular concerns. Learn to speak their language.
3. Be enthusiastic about your company and product. If you will present a genuine passion for your business to those around you, soon everybody will be interested in your product. Nothing beats a natural easiness and enthusiasm when it comes to presentations and selling.
4. Learn to cope with refusals. When you are trying various methods to increase your sales, some will work, some won’t. Don’t be afraid of people saying “no”. If you want to see which marketing approaches really work, you need to test them first.
5. Be different. If you want to differentiate your business from all the others in the industry, make sure your actions are not similar to those of your competitors. Free advertising is always a good way to go. Try to attract the attention to your business whenever you can.
6. Don’t give up. Failure is a part of succeeding. Do not give up on believing in yourself and your business if you encounter trying times. Instead, learn from your mistakes and the others.
7. Always have “sale” at the back of your mind. This means that all your actions have to be directed towards increasing your sales. Write your marketing copy having this in mind, do presentation thinking of sales.
Don’t waste precious time and put all these principles to work. And when you do, your marketing efforts will soon result in the true measure of marketing – increased sales!

Success University - Matt Moris
By ebizmind | November 6, 2007
Attended a seminar organised by Success University in Singapore and met Mr Matt Moris personally. He is such an inspiration himself and one of his dream is ‘a world where no children will die of starvation’ deeply inspired me. It is not a dream he merely hope for, but he is taking actions to it by being in partnership with “Feed The Children” Fund.
