FitLine Car

I met up with someone yesterday to share about FitLine.

Gave the person Activize to drink, talk about the USPs of FitLine (NTC, NGP and GMP) and then went on to talk about the company background.

When it came to the page where one of the incentives of PM International is the carfund, she looked surprised. And asked:

She:'Must put the word 'FitLine Creates Champion all over the car, ah. And must be black ah?'

Me:' We are proud to be able to do that. It's our marketing tool. It's like having a mobile billboard'

She: 'Eh, just now I saw a FitLine car at Rothman's roundabout in PJ. I was thinking to myself that is quite a unique car'

Me: 'That was MY car la! haha'

And then, both of us broke into laughter. She then agreed, yes, having logo all over the car is quite catchy.

Like my other friend, AT, puts it - Your car is funky.

I dont like to sell

I recently attended a talk about IT given by an ex finance person.

I'm glad that he is not the typical accountant who are normally very left brain and boring. He was quite engaging, and he encouraged all of us to always grab the opportunity to present and not to shy away from public speaking.

This is where I find that I disagree with him. Or should I say he conflicted himself. He mentioned that he doesnt enjoy the limelight and yet he encouraged all of us to be visible to everyone who mattered. Isnt that being in the limelight?

And I equate being in the limelight to selling yourself. Every second, every minute of the day, we are selling ourselves. We are selling our skills and our capabilities to the market place which can bring lots of wealth to us, if we do it correctly and do it well.

And when I share about the business opportunity of FitLine to people who are not very exposed to the idea of MLM, first thing that comes to their mind is - I dont like to sell. Yes, FitLine involves selling, as there is an exchange of money for the products. That is the definition of sales. But dont we sell all the time? When we dine at a fantastic restaurant, we share with our friends (we are selling the restaurant). When we watch a superb movie, we share with our friends. Bottomline is, we ALWAYS talk about what we believe in and passionate about. That is sharing to me. Getting people to listen to what we believe in it and if they are convinced, we can share with them the goodness of the products.

And the uniqueness of MLM is it pays to share with people about what you are passionate about. Isnt it an interesting concept? That you are paid to talk about your love and passion?

Take how long to slim down?

During the weekend, I attended a conference in downtown KL. As usual, being a networker, I started chatting with my neighbours who were sitting beside me and behind me.

As usual, the question of 'What do you do?' pops up. This is the time where I fish out my namecard and eventually, I show my photo testimony of 'Before' and 'After'.

This particular lady whom I was sharing the photo with, was so impressed with my results. She started asking questions - take how long? how to do it?

And when I gave her the answers, (ie replace meals with FitLine Gourmet Shake, watch your food intake, exercise, etc) her respond was - So difficult! I have no time for exercise!

This is where I find the human species so peculiar. I honestly believe that there is no short cut to anything. That is how nature works. You just have to go through the steps and processes, to achieve long term results. Any short cuts, only lead to short term results. You dont see a tree growing half of its size, do you???

And homo sapiens are such that everything has to be instant. So, at the end of the conversation with the lady, I encouraged her by saying - If I can do it, so can you!

I want money but I have no time for it...

I met up with an acquaintance a few days ago. I hadnt seen her for about 3 years. Somehow along the way, we got caught up with our own lives and didnt really make the effort to meet up.

I had an event last night, and I just dropped her an email to invite her. Surprisingly, she replied and this time round, we made it a point to meet up (although she couldnt make it to the event)

I was shocked to see how she look, only after a short span for 3 years. She has put on weight, has 'panda eyes' and her complexion is so dull.

What happened? Struggling to pay the bills, problems with kids, spouse, house, etc. Name it, and she has it. At least, she enjoys her work, although it doesnt pay much.

So I asked, what do you plan to do that each month you struggle with the bills? She said that she will eventually want to do business, MLM, unit trust, insurance, etc, when the time is RIGHT. When is the right time? When everything is settled.

Why? After work, she has to go home, prepare meals, make sure kids are ok, clean the house and by the time all are settled, she's too tired and ready for bed.

Doesnt this sound so familiar? That most of us struggle through with this? We are too tired to take the extra step to better ourselves and eventually we stay where we are or perhaps even regress?

And at the same time, we complain that we are short of money all the time and yet we dont do anything about it? Isnt that the definition of insanity = taking the same actions and expecting different results?

I feel sorry for this acquaintance of mine. I told her, when she is ready to better herself, when is ready to build her pipeline, I'm always around. FitLine is just waiting for more people to discover it and ride the wave along with me!

Assume = Making an ASS out of U and ME

Since I will be climbing Mount Kinabalu next month, I have been training very diligently daily. I plan to make it to the summit and enjoy the journey. So, my daily training is either the 1 hour 15 minutes trek at Gasing Hill or 70 floors staircase at my condo, both laden with 5 kg of water in my backpack.

Somehow, training in natural jungle and concrete jungle is just different. I dont get the same workout at the staircase, compared to the natural jungle, ie Gasing Hill.

So, whenever opportunity arises, I want to go to Gasing Hill. However, being outdoors, I am subject to the weather. If it's raining, I cant go. The trek is very slippery. The weather these past few mornings have been very unpredictable. Thus, when it's sunny, I know that I will get my Gasing Hill workout.

Normally, I will go to Gasing Hill with my trekking buddy. Somehow, this morning, there was miscommunication. I assume that my buddy knows we are trekking this morning. On the other hand, my buddy assumed that since there was no text from me to confirm trekking, we are not trekking! (The assumption arose from our previous conversation, where it was implied, if it's fine weather, trekking goes on)

Talk about communicating without communicating! So, there I was at Gasing, all ready to go, when my buddy didnt know we are trekking! Since I was there, all dressed up in my gear, I just went trekking alone. It's definitely very different, trekking alone and with someone.

During the trek, I kept on thinking to myself. We assume too much in life. That is where miscommunication arises. Thank goodness this is a minor miscommunication. What about those situations that go out of hand due to major miscommunication? Gosh. I better make sure it doesnt happen to me.

Like in FitLine, whenever I communicate with my business partners, I always repeat myself to make sure I understand what is asked of me. And I find that, by repeating, the message is clear. So, dont assume!

You Eat What Your Shopping Basket Has

I was at the grocer's awhile ago, stocking up on my vegetables. Now, whenever I go grocery shopping, I avoid the instant noodles and biscuits aisle. Because I believe, 'out of sight, out of mind' (ie if you dont buy, you will not eat) So far, this strategy has been working very well, not only helping to ensure that my weight remains check, but adhering to the budget.

You can actually tell the person's lifestyle by what the person has in the shopping basket. Most people have LOTS of processed food (biscuits, junk food, instant noodles, etc) and very little fresh fruits and vegetables. These are the people who are only exercise once a week or perhaps once in a blue moon.

However, when you see that the person has yoghurt, fresh fruits and vegetable and organic products in the basket, you know that this person is health conscious. This person also exercises at least 3 times a week.

Isnt it sad that people automatically gratify for processed food, instead of fresh fruit? Cos processed food taste better, lasts longer and more convenient to store. Of course, switching to mainly fresh fruits and vegetables takes a strong conscious effort. I was there, on the other side before, thus I know, it's truly not easy.

Last time, my shopping basket will always have canned food and instant noodles (for the hunger pangs). Now, whenever hunger pangs strike at night, it's either my FitLine Gourmet Shake or just Oatsmilk.

So healthy eating starts from here - your shopping basket. You want to change your lifestyle - change what you have in your shopping basket.

I Master My Mind!

As mentioned in an earlier post, I attended Harv Eker's MYM a few weeks ago.

A few days ago, I was really put to the test, whether I 'graduated' from MYM.

A friend, T, was supposed to pick me up at a certain time to meet someone else. At the appointed time, no sign of T. I called. No answer.

Since I'm a stickler for punctuality, I made my way to the appointment venue. Of course, thousand and one things were running through my mind. Where is T? Why didnt T call me? What happened? Is T ok? I was fuming and I kept telling myself, I Master My Mind. Different people colour their wizards differently (one of the activities in MYM). Be calm and cool. Everything is neutral.

Lo and behold, as I was about to reach the venue, T called. I was partly relieved that T is ok. And partly fuming. Fine. Be calm, I tell myself.

So when we finally met face to face, T told me what went on. T went to the mall to purchase a new handphone! In my mind, $%*#. But what came out of my mouth is 'You are late cos you went to buy a new handphone???'

I was so upset that I couldnt talk. Cos I know if I start talking, I will say the wrong things. Of course, T apologised.

That night, I went home and started sharing my insights and thoughts with a very good friend of mine. I asked myself, what can I learn from this incident? How different am I before MYM and after MYM? Am I over reacting?

Eventually, I realised that I have to accept T for T's personality make up should I want to have a good relationship with T. And I also realised that during such time, it's very important to look at the BIG picture. What is important to me? How will T affect me?

Same in FitLine. I have come across many idiosyncrasies in prospects that I am already numbed to them. Of course, out of each, I always ask myself 'What can I learn from this'? And cos of that, I emerge unscathed. Not like 5 years ago, I was scarred. I have learnt to move on. Just focus on the big picture.

Healing Crisis?

Ever since coming back from Phuket, I had been unable to sleep well and slowly losing my voice. Normally, due to my hectic schedules, I have good night sleep (of course, I read before I sleep. Currently reading ‘Tis by Frank McCourt)

Thus, it is a vicious cycle. During the day, I need the energy to keep myself going, to share about FitLine. However, since I am unable to sleep at night, I realised that I am unable to properly recharge my body.

I was trying to figure out the cause of it. And maybe it’s because I’m very excited. I have been getting calls from contacts that I hadn’t touch base with for years, and now they are interested to know more about the business.

The last time I had such physical reaction was when I attended a seminar last year. The seminar was for four days and throughout the four days, I had anxiety attack (couldn’t breathe). I didn’t know where it was coming from (meaning, don’t know why it happened and what it meant)

However few months down the road, opportunities started surfacing and I achieved my next ranking of International Marketing Manager.

So, like my good friend, GY tells me, it’s a sign that BIG things are going to happen. The body is shutting down, right to the cellular level to adjust accordingly. And I concur!

My First Incentive Trip with FitLine - Cruise from Singapore to Phuket















Dressed to the nines for the Gala Dinner




















At the welcome reception




I just got back from my first incentive trip with FitLine. A group of top achievers (58 pax) all over Malaysia boarded the Superstar Virgo cruise from Singapore to Phuket and back to Port Klang.

As it was my first time on a cruise, I was looking forward to the experience of fellowship among FitLiners and also recognition for my achievements.

I was recognised twice - Being the Top Sponsor in Malaysia (won a sony ericsson handphone) and winner of sponsoring contest (won a limited edition PM International 15th anniversary watch). Also, I was interviewed and the video will be sent to Germany to be compiled into a DVD featuring top achievers in Malaysia.

It was pretty relaxing, as the company event only took place on 2 days, out of the 5 days 4 nights we were on board. I spent the time exploring the ship, working out at the gym daily for an hour and making new friends.

Of course, not forgetting the 'makan' sessions. The double boiled soup at the chinese restaurant was just heavenly. I took more than 1 serving each time! Although food was plentiful, I didnt 'dive' into makan session each time. I cant afford to put on weight, now that I'm the face of our FitLine Weight Management Plan.



When the ship arrived in Phuket, I was excited about being on a foreign land. We were taken to a snacks shop, jewellery factory, then cashew nut factory and lastly lunch. I didnt purchase anything from those places as I am making a point not to purchase unhealthy food and I'm not into jewellery. I didnt know that Phuket is so HOT and humid that I'm so glad that I'm staying in KL. I also intended to go for body massage near Patong Beach. But due to time constraint, had to give that a miss. Ah well...



It was definitely an experience, on a trip with the FitLine family. Looking forward to more incentive trips and BIGGER paychecks!

It's My Economy

I met someone the other day at a seminar for nutrition. Naturally, as a networker, we exchanged contacts.

A few days ago, he called me and asked how's business. I said, it's good and getting better everyday.

He begs to differ. He thinks that MLM industry is too saturated and cant be done. He has tried the grandfather of MLM, *way, and a few others, and he didnt succeed. Thus, MLM is not workable.

And he asked me what I thought of nutrition, and what's the business potential in it. Of course, I shared about 'The Next Trillion' and how wellness is the next BIG industry.

ok. This guy got motivated for awhile. Seemed excited.

Later today, I bumped into him. Again, he asked me, how's business? MLM cant do one. he said. Economy is bad, everyone has no money to buy supplements.

Confidently I told him. Yes, everyone says that the economy is bad. But that's everyone. I'm not going to fall in that category. It's MY economy. I determine what MY economy will be. not him. not everyone. ME.

As for market being saturated, how can that be? the market is big enough for all. and with so many MLM companies around, only the best, or the top companies will survive. i have always viewed that competition is healthy, because it is consumer driven. and the consumer will determine what stays and what leaves.

So guys, it's always YOUR economy. Not the government's economy. YOU make things work.

If you dont know which economy you belong to, join me at PM-International AG.

FitLine Multi-Millionaire in the Making

My movie stub

The movie, "Slumdog Millionaire' won so many oscars, and a friend wanted to watch, I thought that I should do myself and the movie justice. Needed a breather from the hectic days.

I came out of the movie awed. Awed that life is actually quite simple. We go through life, we have ups and downs. But as long as we remain focus on the BIG picture, work towards it, life then has meaning. But of course, most importantly, we must know 'what and why' we want the big picture. No point wanting something just because everyone wants it. Soon, the burning desire will just die off.

Thus, at the end of the day, determination does pay off. Never, ever, give up. Always be in motion, be in the game.

And I, Cindy Wong, is the FitLine multi-millionaire, in the making.

p/s: guess the movie was so good, that for a moment, we couldnt locate the car! spent a good 15 minutes circling the car park before locating it! haha.

Who wants to be a Millionaire?

Recently, I attended a seminar on 'The New Secret of the Brain'.

I have always been interested in the workings of the brain ever since I decided that I want to focus on FitLine and be very successful in it. Cos, like what Napoleon Hill states - you become what you think of.

The speaker spoke mainly on the power of the subconscious mind, touched a bit on Brain Gym, and goal settings.

Goal setting has always been my pet topic when I give trainings in our organisation. I guess I am able to talk about it so well since I am the living example of it (I am on my way to the finishing line)

So the speaker posed a question to the hall full of number crunchers - Who wants to be a millionaire?

Without hesitation, I raised my hand, and loudly proclaim, I do, and I want to be a multi-millionaire. Everyone looked at me as I was the only person bold enough to declare. Perhaps, they have doubts in their mind about me, but I dont care. I am not going to fall into THAT category of people who mind about what others think of them.

My point is - if you want more money, why dont you go get it? Money doesnt fall from the sky. If you want something, go get it.

If you want to be a millionaire, tell the world, tell the universe. 'Ask and ye shall receive'. Cos if you dont ask, how does the universe know what you want?

Everyday, these are my declarations, when I am driving. Or when I am waiting for someone during my appointment, I write with my left hand on a piece of paper.

I am a multi millionaire
My income and wealth grow quickly
Money comes to me easily
Lucrative opportunities always come my way
I earn massive passive income
I am financially FREE
(declarations copyrighted by T Harv Eker)

And I know, I am getting there, thanks to PM International AG.

Why dont you join me?

Loving What You Do

I had an interesting conversation with a friend a few days ago. Both of us are avid readers and both of us dont enjoy reading sci fiction or horror genre books.

Ever since Harry Potter movie burst into the scene, so many people made so much 'hoo haas' about the book, about people camping overnight just to purchase the latest edition and so forth.

Since I claim that I am an avid reader, I felt that I have to do Harry Potter and myself justice. Harry Potter - that avid readers read his story, and myself - gave a chance to myself to know Harry Potter.

I borrowed a Harry Potter book from a friend, who is a huge fan. And, at the end of it, I still couldnt understand the fuss about it. Never mind. Next on the author list. Stephen King. I borrowed 'The Tommy Knockers' from the library. Read and tried very hard to keep up with it. Finally, mid way I gave up. It was too painful to keep on reading it. I just wasnt enjoying myself.

I have always enjoyed reading since young. Thus, I now know that I will not touch sci fiction and horror books since I have tried and didnt enjoy at all. I will just stick to self-help, motivational, biographies, memoirs, and the occasional chick lit (Sophie Kinsella is just so FUNNY!) books.

Isnt that life all about that? Loving what you do, so that you live the moment? You live in the present? Not the past, not the future, but NOW?

This what I notice about myself. When am I the happiest? When I share with people about FitLine, when I share with people about good health, when I'm with nature and of course, in the company of loved ones.

I have always shared with people. You just cant share/sell FitLine if you are not in love with it. People will sense your motive. People will sense your insincerity. At the end of the day, it will just not materialize.

Thus, find your love and you will love life.

I have found my love. What about you?
