Freedom

I had been away for a week to down south (ie Singapore). Was attending seminar which showed tools and strategies to achieve financial 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!

Recently, a friend of mine shared how she paid more than rm2,000 to make 4 pairs of glasses. (btw, she's a baby boomer. Dr said that her astigmatism increased drastically)

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

This morning we had the priviledge of being invited to showcase our FitLine Fitness Drink in a golf tournament, in an exclusive golf club in klang valley.

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?

How rude...

Since attending T Harv Eker's seminar, I have set up accounts to ensure that I put aside money for investment purposes.

And with the current interest rate at FD of a mere 2%, I have been looking for a safe alternative.

My FitLine consumer, Y, is with one of the insurance companies and shared with me that the company may have the solution.

So we agreed to meet up. A little surprised that Y's upline, P was there. (Y didnt inform me. In FitLine, in our system, we must inform the prospect who else are going to be present during the meeting) P presented, I listened. No ice breaking. No a little getting to know you.

Since I'm a melancholic (refer to Personality Plus), I need time to analyze before I do anything. Thus told both Y and P I will get back to them.

Immediately, P's composure changed. When I tried to do small talk with P, P merely concentrated on working at the laptop, without making eye contact with me. Not only that, P was pushing the companies' other products.

Hmm...dont these people know that when speaking to someone eye contact is very important? And after all, service industry=people industry? Plus, P has halitosis. Ewww....And P is consuming an American brand of MLM health products...

Quick Rich Scheme

Recently met up with someone, L who is into an MLM which ventures into food & beverage which uses the binary system.

During the sharing, L was very enthusiastic. L showed me the income statements for the past 7 months, all showing 5 figures amount. Very impressive indeed.

When L shared with me the marketing plan, I didnt doubt at all that L wasnt earning 5 figures. After all, L works hard to share about the plan and L is playing the numbers game. And with L's enthusiasm and contacts, 5 figures is chicken feed to L.

My question in my mind for L is, why did L chose a company which is obviously short term gain (skim cepat kaya/quick rich scheme) ? Why not carefully choose a company and settle with one and work at it, to have consistent and long term income?

Upon inquiry, L has been into more than 20 MLM companies. Perhaps L did try but L's patience wore thin.

I honestly think that such company and system will not last more than 3 years. Why? Because you have to keep on patronizing the F&B outlets every month to utilize the coupons (part of the marketing plan). I for one, prefer variety in my food. What next for L? Company B?

MLM is definitely a good way to make money. But my belief is, choose a company that has minimum monthly good quality consumable products (for repeat sales) and a company that has strong fundamentals.

To me, FitLine is the ONE.

Gender Equality

During MMI over the weekend as mentioned in the earlier post, we had to group for an activity. The activity was based on overcoming FEAR.

Since this was my second time attending MMI, I wasnt fearful at all for the activity. In fact, I had done in more than once. And this time round, I wanted to step up, to be the leader.

Thus when it came to choosing a leader I volunteered. A guy wanted to become a leader, but since I was 'louder', he relented.

One of my teammates, an elderly gentleman close to I think 60 years old, looked worried.

'Have you done this before?' he asked.
I nodded yes.
'Ok, then.'

Hmm...I can bet you, had a guy been the leader, this question wouldnt be asked. Why is it at this time and age that females are still considered the weaker of the gender, given a task which is not physical?

Thank Goodness FitLine doesnt discriminate genders!

Weekend of learning and fun

Last weekend, went for a refresher course of Millionaire Mind Intensive (MMI). At the same time, wanted to network to spread the awareness of FitLine.

As usual, Harv Eker delivered his masterful piece. But what was interesting was the people that I met.

Some participants were very friendly and energetic and some were....dont know what they were doing there. They were reading their own books while the speaker was presenting.

Anyway, met a few people whom we bonded quite well. A weekend well spent, I would say. :)

Smile and the world smiles back at you

I was about an hour early for my FitLine appointment today.

Rather than walking aimlessly nearby, I decided to park myself at a mamak. Brought my book to read. Thought of having just water and papadam(crackers made from pea, of indian origin), since I was having lunch appointment.

When I passed my orders to the waitress, she looked at me at disbelief. ('only water and papadam???' was written all over her face)

Then, I gave my biggest, sweetest smile and informed her that I was waiting for my lunch appointment.

She returned a huge smile and said 'Ohhh' (no-wonder-you-are-not-eating look!)

I chuckled. Everyone is so set to the norm. When you do something out of the ordinary, you just stick out like a sore thumb.

In the Q

After a meeting last night at the shopping mall, I took the opportunity to get a few things I had been wanting to purchase from the departmental store. It was already late, close to 945pm. The store closes at 10pm.

I rushed to get my items and the queue at the cashiers were so long. I combed all the cashiers and all the queues were long.

No choice, had to join one of the queues. As usual, I got bored waiting. I wanted to lull the time away by talking to someone. Hmmm...who should I talk to?

Decided to talk to the lady in front of me. How I broke the ice? Asked her what she is buying, what is it for, etc...

We had quite a good conversation. Found out that she just came back to Malaysia from US, travels quite a bit for work, etc. And soon, it was my time to pay. Thank Goodness!

Honestly, if it wasnt the training for FitLine, I wouldnt have mustered the courage to talk to strangers. Good for me!

Dark and Light

This article is dedicated to my good friend, GY. You make me laugh, my dear...lol


I had lunch with my very good friend, GY yesterday. A few things happen during the lunch, but too long to describe it here. Will just pen a summary of us...

Both of us are similar in our own ways -
1. we have our goals to reach and we want things done FAST.
2. we both care very deeply about our family and friends
3. we are both people of integrity
4. we enjoy reading (although different genre of books)
and much, much more...

But both of us are also different in our own ways -
1. I am a perfectionist, GY is a well...as long as things get done, GY is fine. Doesnt have to be in a straight line, not in order, etc...You get my drift.
2. GY loves to do public speaking. I am doing it now, as part of my self growth. Getting better at it day by day
3. I am quite good with my road directions. GY once called me 'walking GPS'
4. GY is good at coming up with 'out-of-this-world' witty replies much to my amusement.
and much, much more...

These are what make our friendship so special and unique. We are both so different and yet, we accept our differences and enjoy each other's friendship.

And GY, your youngest son, to me, is a replica of you (behaviour wise). He makes me laugh too!

Joys of Wedding Dinner

I have been looking forward to a wedding dinner of an ex-colleague. Why? Cos I get to meet my ex-colleagues, some whom I havent seen for about 10 years now and also, to share with them that I am in FitLine, and I look good.

As predicted, those I hadnt seen for about ten years, cant recognise me. And as I predicted again, 99% of them put on weight. The 1%? I guess too stressed at work to eat.

And the joke went round that whoever needs to lose weight, come and see me...

It really feels good to look good and be healthy. Not to say that I wanna gloat among them, but it does boost my self confidence.

Waiting for them to email me pics so that I can put it up here.

Insanity = Same actions, different results

Met up with a friend, T, yesterday. I have been sharing with T about business opportunity in FitLine.

T is currently not doing well, as the management of the company is under scrutiny. Thus, job security is in question.

In the past, T did mention about wanting to 'try' to do FitLine to get some income. Thus, we agreed to meet up, to see how we can strategize and help T to achieve his goal.

When I suggested to T on certain actions T needed to take, T came up with 1,001 excuses.

Hmm...no wonder certain successful people said that, you will actually know whether someone will eventually achieve success or not, based on the 5-10 minutes of conversations with the person.

As for me, I'm moving on. I mention to T, I am there to help T when T is ready.

Like what Jim Rohn says "Help those who deserve it, not those who needs it".

Timing...

I attended a half day seminar a few days ago. In that span of a few hours, my phone kept on ringing and smses kept on coming in non stop!

Hmm...why is it always that when you are busy that the phone rings non stop???

Anyway, as usual, wherever I am, I network, pass my namecards around. And as usual, I get the look and question "Is this Direct Selling?". I will always calmly and coolly say, "Yes". And I will keep our conversations going, without touching on MLM unless prompted.

Well, MLM is here to stay, FitLine is here to stay. Some folks accept MLM, some folks dont. Whatever. Cant please the whole wide world.

To disgress a little, I am very very excited about April next year. WOW!

Lucky or what? :)

A few days ago, I had a 'lucky' encounter. Well, some people say it's luck and I say, maybe trauma !

For the many years that I had frequent FitLine office in Kelana Jaya, Malaysia, never had I encountered the four legged so called man's best friend.

But on that very faithful day, I decided to park my car across the street (learnt the hard way that parking is FOC on sunday!)

When training was over, I was on my way back to my car. I saw a few dogs, barking furiously at passerbys, behind a fence across the street, near where my car is parked.

I ignored the dogs as I thought that they are behind the fence. And I happily crossed the street to get to my car.

Lo and behold, a stray and furious dog came out of nowhere and snarled at me. Me, have huge phobia towards dogs since young, ran for my life. And of course, many animal lovers out there, will tell me, dont run.

Of course, I did my 100m sprint and so did the dog. At the end, the dog stopped and I managed to catch my breath. To cut the long story shot, managed to get to my car safely and in one piece.

When I related the incident to a FitLine staff, I was told, I must be very lucky. No one had such an encounter before. My, I must be very lucky then. Cindy's tsunami must be coming :)
