Becoming vegetarian?
Still ok with fish. Eating lots of vege and fruits.
Like today, I had curry mee for lunch. Told the guy no cockles, prawns, pig skin and chicken. He gave me the look (so-what-are-you-putting-in-your-curry-mee-then-look)
Hmm...what's happening? Body giving me signals to become a vegetarian?

Holidays = FOOD = More exercise!
There was abundance of food and this also means ensuring exercise time. Made a trip to a local park, where there is a canopy walk. My last trip to the canopy walk was 5 years ago. Still remembered that I was panting the last time. This time round, it was a breeze (Thanks to FitLine!). Haha.
Me at the canopy walk. Not imposing at all, compared to the many team building activities I attended before.

Traditional Business vs MLM
The moment P told me this, I felt sorry for P. I was there before - in a traditional business. Pumped in RMxxx,xxx of capital and in the end, less than 2 years, all went belly up.
The pain and hurt is still there and thus, I chose the new business model, ie MLM, ie FitLine. Minimal capital but huge market and business potential. Not only that, no overhead but most importantly, good time management.
Thus to P, I wish them all the best and may their new business venture soar.

Fit for Life
Fast forward to 2009, I have been going for a few competitive walks and thank goodness for FitLine, I managed to get rankings for every one of them.
Thus, I decided that I should give runs a try after so many years. And this time, not so ambitious and only went for the 7km run.
It was a good run. Enjoyed the scenery. Met a few people. And most importantly, I concluded that I enjoy walks better than runs. And also, wouldnt have been able to walk/run if I had stayed at 77kg! Being lighter is so much easier...
Both the starting point and finishing point, waiting to go

Time freedom
It was just so congested. The cashier had a long line, and people were grabbing things as though they were FREE!
At first, I thought of grabbing afternoon tea, but when I saw the crowd, I was just so out of there. I cant stand crowd, cant stand brushing shoulders or bare skin with another person.
Thus, I choose to go to malls during off peak periods.
And FitLine gives me the time freedom :)
People walking by freshly baked bread. All the dust settling on the bread? No thanks
Sustainability = Innovation
However, I still attend wedding dinners for the relationship factor. As a token of appreciation from the host, many will give chocolate/fruit cake to the guests.
But for this dinner, we were given chopsticks (as photographed) which I think it's quite unique. When I saw the chopsticks, the first thing that came to my mind is, people are getting more innovative and creative. And in business sense, innovation is the buzzword to sustainability. If business fails to change, to keep pace with the market's changes, the business will fade out.
This is why, it's important that businesses have a strong R&D team to ensure rapid innovation. And this is also what FitLine has. We have been winning Top 100 most innovative awards in Germany for the past 7 years.
That's the spirit :)

End of the World?
But after the hype and after I think the whole world has watched it, I didnt want to be left behind. So I went to watch.
Ok. It does makes me think. That the Earth will one day come to an end. However, I think what is most important is we should live with hope. And live with vocation that we are here to fulfill our purpose. When I mentioned this to my friend who watched the movie with me, L mentioned that I was 'ultra positive'.
It's sad that some people live lives like a robot - day in and out, doing the same thing, and hope to grow old with grey hair and eventually meet their maker. Life is truly beautiful. The people we come across with, the many colours of nature, the experiences, we go through...
And I will always share with people, when doing sales, when doing FitLine (to me, FitLine is sales, although not hard core sales) we meet all kinds of people. Some people will leave footprints in our hearts, some people you are just glad that you dont have to see them again, and some people...you are just glad that you know another friend.

Sky juice???
Both of us had no intention to eat, just wanted to drink.
I ordered plain water. The waiter looked at me, as though have never seen someone who ordered plain water. What's wrong anyway?
Teh limau/Teh o kosong - dont know what tea leaves they use, and sometimes they add sugar in there.
And I'm not a fan of coffee or tea or soft drink.
So that leaves me plain water!
Someone commented before. I must be a very thrifty person, since I only drink plain water!

Little people crossing the street
I presume that they have just finished their field trip and thus, on the way back to the bus. The teachers were franctically getting the kids to hold hands to cross the street. The teachers also halted the traffic so that kids could safely get across.
All nearby were just smiling, watching the 'parade'. I too was enjoying it and forgot to snap a picture of the scene. They were just so cute - in a sea of red uniforms.
After the parade, the traffic resumed. I even caught one driver smiling away. He must have enjoyed the parade too!
This is what I like about FitLine. Moving around, seeing different things from time to time. Dont think I would be able to enjoy such sights should I still be in the corporate world.
Monday, December 7, 2009
Free lunch?
I will normally arrive at least 5 minutes before the scheduled appointment time so that I am calm and rested and not huffing and puffing from the traffic.
I will then proceed to call for water and enjoy watching the world go by (sometimes will read if prospect is late).
Thus, of late, when prospects arrive, instead of getting something to drink (of which I will ask whether they want something to drink) they will continue talking until their mouth is dry. Here, I will offer my bottle of mineral water and they will gladly drink!
Hmmm...action speaks louder than words?

Online social networking
Somehow my netbook cant access my broadband at home and I'm no IT expert.
There I was, minding my own business and as usual, I like to look around to see what is everyone else doing.
I managed to catch a glimpse of someone else's screen. All were chat windows. This guy must have just finished work, dinner and decided to hang around at the coffeeshop, chatting online.
Personally, I am not a fan of hours of online chatting. Prefer to meet up with the person over a cuppa. Somehow, online chatting is not the same.
Will online chatting replace face to face chatting in future? I dont know. But I do believe that online marketing is the next phase of marketing. That's why this blog was started to share my FitLine journey. Of course, this blog will not replace face to face meet up.

Moved On
I always announce in pride that I will make time for friends (although sometimes, it's really hard as time is so limited)
I was particuarly looking forward to yum cha session with this friend, C when a few hours before, I received a message from C that appointment is cancelled. I was a little disappointed but quickly turned my disappointment into 'now-how-can-i-make-that-time-productive'.
At the upteenth hour, I managed to make appointment with a FitLine business partner whom I have been trying to get hold for a few weeks. Talk about blessing in disguise!
In the past, when someone FFKs (stood me up - chinese equivalent) I would be upset and take things personally. Now, I just let go and move on. Too much negative energy to carry around with me.
Like what I shared with my friend, HC, thinking positive is a habit :)

Taking things in stride
To my surprise, I couldnt start my car. Thus, did the necessary - called AAM, withdrew $ from ATM, took my book to the nearest cafe for a read. AAM was due to arrive in an hour.
I was also very surprised at myself for being so calm. Last time, if it happened, I would be %&^# and thinking that it's a sign that something bad is going to happen.
Here, I was very thankful, that my car died when I wasnt in a hurry to anywhere. In fact, I enjoyed my book while waiting for AAM to arrive!
And, I had a little chat with the AAM mechanic about FitLine (since the black car is such an easy ice breaker!) And when folks hear that the black car is part of the marketing plan, they are amazed.
Now, must remember the next date to change my car battery...:)

Your Supplement is SO Expensive!
But when N heard about the price of FitLine, N mentioned too pricy, and wanted to opt for another brand which to me, is really substandard.
The human mind is so strange. Can be spending RM2,000 on a bag but RM477 for better health is expensive.
Anyway, I justified the price of FitLine and later left it to her to decide. To me, health is really wealth.

Only The Present
From this holiday, I realised that, my ideal trip is 70% outdoors ie nature, 30% tourists stuffs. I dont quite enjoy tourists stuffs. I feel so at home with nature.
While overseas, every now and then, I thought about FitLine. How can I add value to my clients? How can I help my group to grow further? Yes, I know that I should be present wherever I am and whatever I was doing.
Of course, through this trip, I got to know my friends better. I got to know myself better. That I really enjoy travelling, especially doing nature related activities. And I enjoy meeting people from all walks of lives, from all over the world. In this country in partcular, we met many French tourists, and also got to know a very friendly couple from Israel.
At the end of the trip, we concluded that since all of us enjoy nature, we should endeavour to keep ourselves healthy and fit to go for more trips together. How? By taking lots of fruits and vegetables, and to supplement with FitLine.
Enjoy the pics. :)
The sampan ride going through the caves. Very picturesque indeed

Nature, the natural destressor
Why so extremely busy? I am just so excited about the upcoming trip to Germany in April 2010 and I really want to get everyone to go. It's so easy to qualify. Just be an IMM for one month, get RM13k paycheck and trip to Germany is FREE!
Thus, when I get the opportunity to go back to nature for my exercise, I really enjoy myself. Just enjoy the serenity, the insect creaking and greeny. And I feel the oneness with nature.
That's also my dream. To have a jungle reserve as my house backyard and facing the beach/sea. Wow.

I love being an MLMer!
I enjoy sharing about FitLine, over a cup of coffee/tea (although I drink neither. I am a plain water person :) ) or over meals.
Nothing formal initially. Casual sharing on why I do FitLine and how it has helped me, health wise and for building for wealth. Comfortably seated in the neighbourhood cafe.
I shudder the thought of having a traditional brick and mortar business. Sitting in a shop/office and waiting for clients/customers to come. I enjoy moving around, exploring new places, new food and meeting people from different industries.
That's why when people share with me that they hate moving around, I would think that it equates to enjoying the comfort zone. It's only when you move around, meet different people, then you realise there is a bigger world out there.
Wow. I love my life!

What a Weekend!
We had our PM Malaysia Congress at a local 5 star hotel, and had teams from all over the world who joined us.
What was exciting about the event was, the founder of PMI, Mr Rolf Sorg announced incentive trips which was HIGHLY achievable. (Hint...hint...Trip to Germany and Vietnam for FREE)
We were all so excited about getting our team to go to the Motherland of FitLine.
Not only that, events like this are times when we have fellowship with our business partners from all over the world.
Wow. A truly seamless international business. Only from PM International AG and FitLine products. So, what are you waiting for???

Walking the Talk
Anyway, the host was a TCM practitioner who operates a wellness centre. I was actually shocked by the food ordered. Everything was FRIED, all MEAT and not a single dish of VEGETABLE.
I guess is, when the practitioner meets the client/patient, the advice is
- just eat what you want, then come to the centre to fix the problem???
Sheeshhh...it just confirms and encourages the mentality of 'fix-it' society. That there is a solution and cure for whatever problems. So whatever we do, dont have to think of the consequences. Just do first, enjoy first and think of the problems later...
Dream Stealers = Stay away!
Instead of being encouraged to keep up with the classes, those around me, started laughing. And said, why go through the trouble and worst of all, one person said, can learn from him. Just go out for dinner and start learning from him.
Hmmpph. Take about dream stealers. Stay away! They disgress you from your goals in MLM or whatever your goals are.

Becoming a bigger person
The results were divided into 2 parts - natural behaviour and adaptive behaviour. A simple test was so revealing. My natural behaviour and adaptive behaviour are at the opposite ends of one another!
This means that over time, I have changed, ie become a bigger person, and acquired the necessary behaviours to achieve my goals.
And this also made me think. That it is possible to change to achieve what you want in life. Cos for the past few weeks, I have encountered people who told me that MLM is not for them as they dont like selling/meeting people.
Conclusion: When the WHAT is big enough, the why and how will follow.

Good income in MLM
I honestly feel happy each time I meet a MLMer, be it from FitLine or another company. Why? To show that MLM is a credible industry, and more professionals are joining and making good income.
There a few bad apples in the industry and these are the ones who paint MLM as another ponzi scheme or pyramid scheme or quick rich scheme or whatever scheme you want to name it.
Like it or not, word of mouth marketing is the MOST powerful and effective form of marketing. Thus, MLM is here to stay. More so when more people have chosen to work from home.

Out of the Rat Race
I call this place 'the cash cow venue' since this office generates multi million dollars businesses every other day.
I was just soaking up the ambience and playing cash flow at the same time. WOW.
Being self employed
Thus, that explains why I rarely take the public transport during peak hours. It’s so humid here, and by the time I reached my destination, my attire will be drenched in sweat.
After my appointment ended, I boarded the train to get home. Here, I had a realization. That I am so thankful that I made a decision to work on my own. The office workers in trains/public transport are always so gloomy. No one smiles. Can feel that the energy level is so low. Perhaps in their mind is – thank God the day is over? I can now go back and enjoy my telly?
The gloomy faces in the LRT
I am a true Malaysian
I was invited to 2 open houses – a friend’s and my neighbour's. This is what I like about living in Malaysia. All races coming together to enjoy good food, company and just enjoying the moment.
And coming from a foodie, I have always looked forward to the open houses, especially those hosted by friends, because you know that the food is home cooked.
And this is also a good time to casually mention about FitLine. Nothing threatening, since it’s part of the ice breaker – What do you do?
Yummy home cooked food

Food for thought. Ice cream to eat or not to eat?
When I'm there, I will normally get a bottle of mineral water to make Activize for both the prospect and myself to drink. Heck, I even realised that the price of mineral water went up from RM2.20 early this year to RM2.80 now. What's the reason? For better bottom line?
Anyway, I saw someone eating Chocolate sundae earlier. At the counter, thoughts were coming in. Hmmm...yummy. Time was 5.25pm. Close to dinner time. Then I thought maybe I should taking Ice Cream cone, not so heavy.
Hmmm...then I thought with all the cream, the fresh milk, and the money could be used for my FFA account?
At last, FFA account won! YES! So proud of myself. And proceeded with dinner at 645pm.
Anger Management = Supplements required?
Goodness, it was a tow truck across the street, about 500m away honking. It was honking, and honking and honking. Someone or something must be blocking its way!
So, I looked. (wont look if I'm driving. dont want to be part of the kay poh (Malaysian slang for busy body) statistics who jam up the streets)
Turned out that a car was blocking its way. The tow truck driver, came down, and proceeded to SCOLD the driver of the car blocking its way. And mind you, I can hear his SCOLDING from across its street.
I was worried that his anger will get the better of him and leave him bashing the lady driver.
Dont know what happened next as I have reached my car.
Perhaps he lacks minerals? Minerals, have a calming effect on the body. That is why minerals are meant to be taken at night, and NOT early in the morning!

Plan B = working from home
Why frustrated with work? Unsupportive working environment, baby in the family, and sheer boredom.
After a little brainstorming, I urged C to do her part time business and start from home.
Fastforward that, a few days ago, I text C to ask her the progress of business plan.
C replied "Not good"
I informed C that C has to be around supportive people and truly work on the business plan if C is serious about the career change.
I did suggest to C to consider doing FitLine business. But C mentioned that C cant imagine oneself to meet people on a daily basis to share about FitLine. Well, maybe time will change that.
Hoping to hear good news from C.

Call of Nature?
I have learnt from past experience to bring a book whenever I am waiting for someone for appointment.
This time, I waited for an hour for the person to come (Napoleon Hill really kept me company)
While waiting, something very interesting happened. A kingfisher bird flew in and landed on a picture frame, near the wall I was sitting.
I have always believed that nature has a way of conveying message. And I believed that the bird was trying to tell me something (it could have landed anywhere in the cafe, right?)
The person I was waiting for arrived. We exchanged namecards. And perhaps more FitLine business coming from him?

Accelerated Learning
So many things happened but whatever happens shall keep a positive outlook.
I had lunch with an ex colleague from I hadnt seen for many years. She is still in accounting while I have moved away from it for many years.
Since I'm a huge believer of self development, in particular trainers who use accelerated learning, I urged her to join me in my events.
To my surprise, she still belongs to the old school of - sit back, listen and absorb as much as you can and you will go along fine.
In FitLine, and everything else, I learn best when I do and I keep on improving and learning, making mistakes along the way.
As you may guess, my friend declined my invitation to events - to much work just to self develop :(

Financial freedom with CashFlow(R)
And interestingly enough, games are really a reflection of your behaviour in real life. If during the game you have difficulty keeping track of numbers, in real life is the same.
If during the game, you dont pay attention (ie dont know what is happening) in real life is the same. Go through life blur blur or MC2 (mung cha cha)
And interestingly enough, my personal experience with Cashflow 101 opened my eyes on the possibilities of opportunities around me. Previously, I just wasnt aware of them, or should I say, I chose not to see?
And now, it's FitLine and more cashflow opportunities :)
The Cashflow box and board
Prevention is better than cure
Half way through the conversation, C shared that C has rather bad stomach ulcers due to many years of taking daily neat orange juice in a glass.
Thus, I began sharing on how FitLine helps with gastric and stomach ulcers.
To my surprise, C mentioned that C has no discipline on taking supplements. Would rather take charcoal tablets for the discomfort.
Hmmm...
Some people never learn eh? That prevention is better than cure.

Mysteries of the Mind - Unsolved
Before the seminar started, there was a slide that stated 'Please silence your handphone'.
Obviously a few folks either choose not to see or were ignorant of the slide. Thus, mid way, a few handphones rang.
I honestly dont know why Malaysians still havent got used to the habit of silencing their phone before a meeting/seminar/movie. I will do it automatically since I dont want the risk of embarrassment.
Thus, I started to ask myself - why are people like that? Mind you, today's seminar participants are of at least middle to higher class net worth. These folks are educated and knowledgeable. Perhaps education DOESNT mean cultured?
Like what one of my mentor, Jim Rohn, mentions, these falls under the 'mysteries of the mind' ie cant be explained and no point pondering further on it.

Who needs supplements?
When N asks me what I do, I naturally passed N my namecard and showed FitLine Activize, one of our products.
Immediately N said that most supplements are not necessary and a huge marketing gimmick.
One can get all the necessary nutrients from a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables.
Excellent, I thought to myself. Someone who doesnt believe in supplements and yet look so haggard. (I was thinking to myself - hello - why organic produce then? cos of the pesticides and chemicals!)
Looks like more people out there needs more education on supplements.

What an amazing weekend thanks to FitLine!
What was so amazing about it?
The people who I met (in the course of wanting to share about the FitLine MLM business):
- a mutlimillionaire who retired at the age of 40+
- a local lass who is a strong advocator of organ donation and very much into self development
- a high networth lady who willingly shared about her spiritual path (and I got to sit in her Porsche!)
All the 3 individuals willingly shared about their knowledge and life and honestly I feel that I have information overload. I am still trying to sort out the information in my mind.
I have always believed that everything is about timing. That the universe will provide you the path when you are ready.
I am ready.

Transformation thanks to FitLine supplements!
Then, I saw my ex-colleague, whom I havent seen for more than 10 years.
I walked up to her, called her name. And she looked at me.
"You look familiar" she said.
So I started to drop hints on how we were working together and, at one time, hanging out together.
"Err...you were fatter last time. Now you look GREAT" she added.
This was me, in 2001. Not many people can recognize me now.

Fitline Fitness Drink is GREAT!
Thus, when I heard that there was a competitive walk for fund raising today, I immediately signed up for it.
I have always enjoyed brisk walking and since it's a competitive walk, I will double enjoy it. I was confident that I will get ranking.
I was aiming for Top 3 ranking and I did get what I targetted for! Along the way, I kept on sipping FitLine Fitness Drink. The drink is so particularly refreshing, especially when you are working out.

Long weekend = Contemplation
So I took the opportunity to catch up on reading, meeting up with friends (both old and new) and planning for the year end and next year.
Although it has been raining cats and dogs for the past few days, it didnt dampen my spirit to go out and meet people. (yes, that's the warrior attitude - Do Whatever It Takes!) And it was very sweet of K, to pass me a CD which contains uplifting success songs (songs specially composed for success)
Another thing worth mentioning is my plants. I am not a gardener nor do I hate plants. I enjoy nature, but I dont enjoy tending to them. Thus, my 3 pots of plants outside my condo have been growing at the least rate as possible (according to my neighbour, and my mom, I dont water them. I do. I just water them, when I remember)
To my greatest surprise, this particular pot, which has not been growing for the past 2 years, suddenly sprouted new shoots the past few days.
The aloe vera which is growing very well
My 3 pots of plants
And I replied "Auntie, wealth is coming your way too. There is spill over effect since we are neighbours and you help me to water my plants from time to time too." Auntie just smiled.
And the aloe vera is growing well too.
I believe that nature has a way of telling things - the good and bad. And good things are definitely coming. FitLine is currently simmering, waiting for the boiling point. I cant wait!

Dreams Do Come True
And without hope, our sense of existence is just existence, waiting for time to pass. HOPE you gives you the fuel to keep your desire burning, day in and out even when the going gets tough.
With this, I would like to share this video clip which truly outlines the meaning of HOPE. Where there is HOPE, there is light at the end of the dark tunnel. This video is a classic case of Hope. (Bring out the tissues, please)
http://piperoo.multiply.com/video/item/23/Charisse_Pempengco_duet_with_Celine
And I also believe that when your faith and desire in your hope is so strong, the universe will bend backwards and see that all is fulfilled (in this case, Charisse gets noticed by superstars like Oprah and Celine)
So, there is always HOPE and dreams DO come true.

Turning lemon into lemonade
One of the evenings, my appointment was cancelled and I was left on my own. I dont fancy shopping complexes (all look the same, unless everything is on 70% SALE) thus was wondering how to fill up my time.
Hence, with the principle of 'when-life-gives-you-lemon, you-make-lemonade', I made my way to East Coast Park, heart and mind full of adventure.
There, I rented a mountain bike, and cycled along the beach (there is a nice trail there). There were many fellow bikers and roller bladers enjoying the breeze and view. It was a joy to cycle along the beach(my last experience was in 2007 in St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia. Truly awesome!). I particularly liked the fact that each bike has a bell attached to it, to warn other users of your oncoming approach.
So enjoy the pics!

FitLine Market Research
My art - my doodle
Being curious and wanting to validate the claims, I attended the event.
The event was supposed to start at 730pm, but as usual, Malaysian time, it only started at 815pm. (But the room, was packed to the brim. My guess - easily 600 pax?)
Speeches first by the key people. And the moment I was waiting for arrived, ie the founder spoke. He went on and on about the product, and spoke WITHOUT any visual aids. I found it very strange that this was the first time I attended an event without any visual aids. Some technical terms were lost.
And yours truly got bored and began doodling.
And my neighbour (whom I think is chinese speaking) also got bored and took interest in my doodling! (he even wore his glasses each time he wanted to sneek peak at my drawings)
I left before the event ended. A 5 year old MLM company doesnt really excite me.

Dream cars and me
Since starting on FitLine business, as part of our system, we were encouraged to start dreaming and visualizing which car we like. And I fell in love with Mercedez ML500. I fell in love with it so much so that I went for a test drive late last year. Can still remember the feeling...Awesome...Amazing...
New model of Honda CRV. Price tag - RM150k

Plan B
I urged C to go into business, and turned Plan B into Plan A.
Fortunately C has passion in the kitchen. Thus, I encouraged C to do something there. Gave C ideas. Talking about it was just so exciting! Helping someone to see the light and get out of employment.
C also mentioned that C doesnt like to network and meet people. I had to inform C that networking is the core of the business. No network=no people=no business. Hard facts of business.
Told C that we shall catch up a few down the road, to see the progress of the business plan!

Diet Plan 2 successful!
It was easy. Just exercised, ate lots of fruits (ideal vegetable portions were a bit tough to achieve), avoided fried and oily food and cut down on carbohydrate (ie rice and noodles)
I was supposed to drink FitLine Gourmet Shake as my dinner during the diet, but heck, friends asked me out for steamboat dinner (using pumpkin as soup base). As a foodie, couldnt resist. But I made sure that during dinner, I only ate the meat/vege. I avoided drinking the soup. Pumpkin is very starchy thus high in carbohydrate.
Ok, now back to normal of food in moderation...
Friday, August 28, 2009
Diet Plan 2 with FitLine continued
Let's look what I ate yesterday.
Breakfast: FitLine Powercocktail + Rolled oats + 1 apple + 1 pear
Morning break: Milo kosong (Malaysian version of hot chocolate without milk and sugar) - had to drink something. Was prospecting
Lunch : Mee hoon soup
Afternoon break : 1 apple + 1 pear
Dinner: FitLine Gourmet Shake + 1 spoon of FitLine Basics Plus + clear chicken soup + fruit smoothy (without cream)
was I hungry throughout the day? most of the time no. there were certain occasions where hunger pang called. I just drank water and focus on activities on hand :)

Diet Plan 2
I realised somehow that I have a bit too much flesh on me a few days ago. Somehow, a comment made by someone, when I passed my namecard to him, broke the straw.
Today, I just decided to go on my 2nd Diet, damage control, before things get worst (easier to shed 1.5 kg compared to 15kg!)
My Plan for the next 10 days
Breakfast: FitLine powercocktail + rolled oats + 2 fresh fruits
Lunch : Soupy. Nothing fried or oily plus lots of vegetables.
Dinner : FitLine Gourmet Shake
Snacks: Fresh fruits
I am quite confident that I am able to shed off 1.5kg in 10 days. When I shared my diet plan with C, who wanted to introduce a very famous hokkien mee to me, C was crushed. (supposed to have the hokkien mee one of these days)
Anyway, hokkien mee can wait. But my 1.5kg cant!

Flu season
And mind you, most of these people are the ones who dont believe in supplements. In their thinking, taking a balanced diet is adequate. Well, that statement was true 15 years ago. Look at our environment now. Polluted water, polluted air, pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics for the livestock and the list goes on.
And these are also the folks who will start popping Vitamin C tablets once they feel their throat is itchy...hmmm...do you send your car to the workshop when you hear noises or do you send according to mileage driven?
Well, that's life. I accept that people have their own mentality. And it's my duty to share about what an amazing product FitLine is. Yes or No, it's another matter.

People make life interesting
F was just always busy - either outstation or preparing for another project.
And when F was finally available to meet me, I was excited that I was able to share about FitLine with her (at last!)
F was an hour late (how you do anything, is how you do everything), and filled the conversation about all the business disappointments....
Hmm...then I realised that F definitely needs more good vibes, to move on.
That is the interesting thing about FitLine - we meet all kinds of people, the good, the bad and the ugly. That is what makes life interesting :)

Healthy Lifestyle with FitLine
Entrance of Saga Hill
I have been going to Gasing Hill almost consistently every other weekend for the past 1.5 years. However of late, realised that the hill was packed with both people and man's best friend (yes, I have phobia for dogs)
Also, I realised that I was getting too comfortable at Gasing - it was my comfort jungle. And when I'm comfortable, growth stops.
Thus, when a friend invited me to Saga Hill, in Taman Saga, Ampang, I jumped at the opportunity.
Difficulty wise, both Saga and Gasing are similar. The biggest difference is Gasing has a lot of 'proper' steps in the jungle, while Saga is more sandy, thus making footing a little slippery at times.
And of course, while hiking up, I kept on sipping FitLine Fitness Drink to maintain my endurance and for faster recovery. Cheers to variety of jungles!
Indulgence lifestyle
A few of us went for a nice dinner at a 5 star hotel in downtown KL. Out of the 4 of us, 3 of our birthdays fall in the month of August (including yours truly :) )
Thus, it was a good excuse to pamper ourselves. Dinner was good. Began with the starter. Mine was mushroom soup. Authentic and definitely not from the can!
Followed by beetroot sorbet, to prepare our palette for the main meal.
And finally, my main meal - cod fish. This was truly yummy. The cod fish was very well marinated.
Overall, very good dinner, surrounded by friends and most importantly, I am able to savour the lifestyle that I enjoy.
In relaxed mood, savouring the ambience and moment...
Am looking forward to the day when my FitLine business has grown to the extent that such lifestyle is a daily occurance, and not just for special occasion.

Success = Punctuality
Everyone says first impression counts. So, if my prospect, or a speaker is late, then my respect for the person goes out of the window.
Why? By not being on time, you are not respecting the other person's time. So if you are not respecting my time, ie not respecting me, why should I respect you? Respect is to be earned, not be default.
Worst is those who are late, for eg half hour and yet dont apologize!

Restorate drink is so YUMMY!
Took the opportunity to network, get to know others. And as usual there are all kinds of people. Some are extroverts and some are introverts.
I honestly wonder, those who intend to become entrepreneuers, how can they keep so a low profile? Quiet and not a great conversationalist.
I decided to share Restorate during meal times, instead of the usual Activize.
And all who drank Restorate, really love the taste! And, someone, whom I approached few years ago, now wants to get a can of Restorate. Wow. Love it!

The world is round...what goes around, comes around
http://fitline-vitamins-for-you.blogspot.com/2009/04/did-i-do-something.html I was actually quite upset with the person.
The usual me will just be sarcastic to the shop owner. This time round, I decided not to. No point being enemies with someone. Afterall, everyone else in the shop treats me well, only this one person doesnt.
It has been four months now, since the incident passed.
And each time I go there, the person treats me very well now.
Remorse? Well, just glad that I am given good customer service...

Being different, like doing MLM
Yesterday, instead of my usual brisk walk/jungle trekking, I cycled instead. And that's the thing about Malaysians/Asians in general. If you are doing something uncommon, people stare. Stare at what? For being different? I have no idea.
And mind you, in my 45 minutes of cycling, I got a few stares. Cars actually slowed down, overtook me and turned around to see me.
I was just cycling, donned in my helmet.
Same like in MLM. Since my background is in Finance, many, especially the baby boomers' generation cant understand why I didnt pursue a career in Finance.
Why not work to the top, be a Financial Controller and earn a comfortable and juicy paycheck of 5 figure a month? Why, instead, want to do sales (ie MLM), attend countless seminars and always subject to rejection?
My answer? Because I know what is the result that I will get, when I have sown my seeds of success, much faster than in the corporate world. Anymore arguments on that, I just move on. No point wasting my time and energy on people who dont matter to me.

Always look beyond in FitLine business
L has been purchasing the products for about 6 months now. L was initially a tough nut to crack and is still.
L doesnt have much experience and exposure to MLM products and expects the moon, star and sun from me. I really wonder if she has been exposed to other MLM products, will L be served that well...
I believe in adding value to my organizations, doing things beyond the minimum. Somehow with L, it is never enough.
There was once, I had a conversation with L and I mentioned my principles about how I always add value beyond.
To my disappointment, L replied "Let's wait and see".
Well, my upline always mention - look beyond. or chinese saying 'tai hoi'

FitLine decision: ice cream vs cake
The cake pamphlet on the table was just staring at me. And the fact that my prospect was 40 minutes late gave me more time to look at the pamphlet (is God testing my will power???)
The time was late evening, close to 5pm. I normally have my dinner by 730pm. Thoughts were playing in my mind - yes, I would love to have the cake, but then again, it will spoil my dinner, overload of calories and getting the cake is unnecessary expenses.
At the end, I won! I just had a juice and plain water. YEAH! (cant say the same of New Zealand Natural's Macadamia Supreme though. luckily no ice cream pamphlet staring at me...)

Inspiring signals with FitLine day
Since the past few days have been very hectic, my telly has been left idle, not touched. Today, managed to watched telly, and caught Oprah Winfrey, twice, airing different episodes.
This lady is truly marvellous. She can literally change the world with her talkshow.
In the first episode, her guests and her talked about Law of Attraction. It caught my attention as I have committed myself to practising whole heartedly for the past few weeks. (yes, and I am seeing results. YES!)
In the second episode, she paid tribute to Dr Martin Luther King Jr. I only knew how great this person is, early this year (I attended a seminar and his famous speeches and videos were reviewed during the seminar)
Thus re-watching Dr Martin Luther King Jr's speech 'I have been to the Mountain Top' sent me down memory lane. During the seminar, it made me realise what my 'promised land' is. And now, the video reminded me what is my 'promised land'. (excerpt of the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0whBALnwgQQ&feature=related)
And I honestly think that the universe is sending me signals (rescheduling my appointments so that I get to watch the Oprah's episodes), and I feel very blessed and excited thinking what lies ahead.

Looking younger with FitLine
My, he looks so much younger, compared to when he first started, which was just 2 months plus ago. (Truly love it when people are the walking testimonies of our products!)
He is a believer of self development and we shared our thoughts of Napoleon Hill, Stephen Covey and the likes of other gurus.
When he mentioned of Napoleon Hill's most famous quote 'what the mind conceives, it can achieve', it sent goosebumps to me. Why? Cos I'm on my quest to my goal and it is just so timely that I hear it again.
Wow. Talking about Law of Attraction...

Excellent customer service during FitLine business
The waitress, Hana, who served us, was just SO pleasant. She was so polite, always smiling.
When I got my bill, I thanked her for her excellent service. And complimented her for her good attitude.
What a gem...
Why cant everyone in the service industry be like her?

FitLine Prospects' Criterias
There are some people who in my opinion, I will not approach to be in my team. Why, because I choose who I want to be in my team.
I enjoy working with people who have a good attitude, high energy and mostly integrity. To me, skills can be learnt.
If in my course of dealing with the person, I realise that the person is arrogant, dishonest and has poor attitude, I would rather not approach the person in FitLine.
A few days ago, I attended a seminar, which was open to the public. There was this guy, very well dressed, sitting right at the back, but unfortunately kept on talking on the phone when the speaker was presenting. A few of us kept staring at the guy, but I guess he has the skin of a rhino (ie thick skinned). All the while, he had his arms around his girfriend/wife.
I am really put off by this public etiquette. Such people are just so rude...Definitely not in my team.
Always Be Closing (ABC) with FitLine
Unfortunately, W didnt follow up with P. Just gave P a few sachets to try. and P lost touch with W.
P was lamenting on how W didnt follow up. Nothing. No information.
And here I was with P, sharing with P the marketing plan.
Truly, FitLine or any other business is about follow up and we should always be closing. Always be asking the questions to help the prospect to decide whether or not to try the product.
And FitLine is also about following the system. When you follow the system, you will not go wrong. After all, it's proven. Carsten Ledule, our top leader in Germany has been earning six figure euro every month for the past 7 years (in Malaysia, it's more than RM1mil a month!). The system must be working...

Interior Design Inspired a FitLiner...
I have actually passed his office many times, as it is along the main road. Didnt notice it as there were many other offices around that area too.
When I arrived at his office, I was truly 'WOWed'. I love his idea of combining openess and nature. Most offices, are so boring. Same colours, designs and very 'boxy'.
He gave me a little tour of his office and when we reached his room, I was more 'wowed'. I enjoyed the view of the vicinity from his room.
Then, I shared about FitLine and how FitLine has helped me with my health and lifestyle. He was definitely hooked by it!
I left his office feeling inspired, and knowing how the interior of my future home will look like...

Focus3x
My only qualm? I need commitment to study the method and generate another stream of income.
So am I committed? I have committed to so many learnings this year.
Maybe I have to commit myself next year? It's always best to focus on one stream of income first and then only move on to the next.
Focus, focus, focus...currently on FitLine.

Mini hill
The faithful mini hill, which had served me well, when I was back in my hometown
Ever since I conquered Mount Kinabalu in April, flat lands for exercise is no longer adequate for me. It has to be a combination of hills and flat land.
When I was back in my hometown, pre Mount K, I used to go to the park near my parents' home. Now, the park bores me. Not only it is packed, the place is small, thus I had to go a few rounds to fulfill my exercise quota.
Then, I found this mini hill, near the beach. Not too bad. I went up and down this hill for 5 times to get my cardio workout fix.
A few times, on the way down, passerbys wanted to give me a ride. Guess they are not used to people exercising on that mini hill.
This is my lifestyle - FitLine+exercise+good diet+hmmm...etc....
Vitamins galore!
Got back to KL and first thing on my mind was to exercise and stock up my fridge with fruits (need the vitamins and fiber, aside from taking FitLine). Weather in KL hasnt been too good. It has been hazy.
Went to the nearby night market for my fruit supply. Should be adequate for a week. Well, if it finishes before then, will just stock up. (Notice that my choice of fruits - those which do not require much work to clean and prepare. Haha...call me lazy in that sense!)

Certainty
Since I have committed to John Kehoe's learning, being a student of Mind Power, I am determined not to fall prey to the parking problem at the said place.
Thus, each time I turn into the premises, I drive in, with the confidence and certainty that there is ALWAYS a parking place for me, near the entrance.
And it has worked very well for me.
D on the other hand, grumbles about lack of parking place and had to resort to walking quite a distance each time.
With this, I also bear in mind that I will, with certainty make the FitLine trip as I envisioned, both in April and June next year. Things will just fall in place and I will be there!

Spot on!
When I first got to know L, L was so difficult. After a few more encounters, L 'soften' up and L is such an easy person to deal with. L is so witty and has recently retired.
We will always meet at a particular mamak (restaurant selling Indian Muslim food) in Bangsar to catch up and for me to pass L the monthly FitLine products.
This particular mamak, is located in a commercial hub in Bangsar. Thus, parking can be a nightmare sometimes.
However, when I am scheduled to meet L, I will always get a spot right in front of the mamak. And L cant believe it! It has happened for the past 3 times consecutively (also once, L informed me that my car needs shower badly!)
During our most recent meet up,
L asked me. 'Do I have a reserve parking at the mamak???'
I told L, 'Yes'.
L said 'You are BS-ing'
Hahahhahaaa
So, what's my secret of getting the right spot in front of the mamak at all times? I just dont think that I will not get a spot. I drive there, knowing that I will get a spot!

Yummy food at night market
Immediately upon arrival, exercised, then cleaned the house and I headed to a nearby night market. I had to get fruits. Was hoping that I can get mangosteen (I love them!)
Yes, I managed to get mangosteen, nice, cheap and fresh (now is the mangosteen season. RM5 for 2kg) and soursop (I hadnt have soursop for ages!) Enroute to the fruit stall, I saw lots of ready cooked food for sale. Mainly fried food and lots of snack.
And people were queueing up to buy them! Gosh...
Before FitLine, I would have been part of the Q. After FitLine, somehow my taste bud rejects such junk food...or perhaps it is also psychological? That I'm taking good nutrition? Why deplete the good nutrition in my body?
Anyway, it is a good form of food 'rejection'!

Back to exercise...yipeee!
When I got back to KL, got news that I had to get back to my hometown. So jam packed everything in a day and got back to my hometown.
So totally no time to exercise.
When I finally had a chance to exercise today, my heart was leaping with joy! How much I miss the jungle and outdoors and working out my cardio...
Thank goodness for FitLine for the past 1.5 weeks to make sure my immunity is still strong. Things have been so hectic, personal and work wise.
MBBS and nutrition
To cut the long story short, I came to the conclusion that drs are such difficult prospects. With the same amount of effort and energy, a lay person who is interested in better health gives me more results.
Anyway, the dr asked me for more information and I am relaying the request to Germany. Still keeping my fingers crossed.

More money but...
Since I got my money blueprint adjusted, I shared with her my know how - that there are so many opportunities out there - forex, trading, internet marketing, real estate, MLM, etc.
Of course, since my full time earnings come from FitLine, I shared with T the benefits of doing the FitLine business, highlighting both the ups and downs of it.
T mentioned that MLM is not within the scope and is more interested in internet marketing. Thus, I shared with T that there are many previews in town, to know more about how such business opportunities work.
T responded by saying - see how la...hmmm.....how to expect different results by doing the same things?

Freedom
It was amazing to hear world class speakers, who are also multi millionaires to share their knowledge. And indeed, there is abundance in everything!
One speaker, an internet marketing guru showed his bank account. It amassed AUD$150,00+ in just 1 week! 1 week!!! wow. so achievable when you hear it from someone who has done it.
I am getting busier now to achieve MY freedom...

I can see clearly again!
So, knowing that FitLine has a product, NanoLutein, that is excellent to help to prevent cataract and reduce astigmatism, I recommended to her.
Lo and behold, a day after taking NanoLutein, she could see CLEARLY again, without the glasses (honestly, I was very amazed by the fast effect. I mean, I know FitLine is an excellent product...but amazed in a good sense!)
The nearest fast effect testimony I know of was feeling the difference of NanoLutein in 2 weeks...
FitLine, even after consuming it for 5 years, still continues to amaze me for its efficacy...Excellent!

630am appointment
Thus, we had to be at the venue at 630am. By 430am, I was already up. Why so early? I was afraid if I went back to sleep, I would oversleep. Cant afford to oversleep on business appointments!
Anyway, the event went well. Enjoyed myself together with my team mates. The golf participants were all high networth individuals (ie CEOs, Dato's, Tan Sri, etc) and they were very friendly and chatty!
Also, got to test drive the golf buggy! Love that piece of equipment.
Perhaps will take up golfing one day?
