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!
