The Lion was walking alone in the tunnel, a narrow dark tunnel. It was so dark that he can’t see its own feet. But he has to continue to move forward, hoping that he would catch a glimpse of light. There was no turning back ………
It was 21st Jul 2010. It was a day where I need to see a specialist for review at Singapore General Hospital after a CT Scan 2 days back. The sky was cloudy ……….. As I laid on the clinic bed, the doctor did a quick scan and gave his diagnosis of the my previous pain in my right waist. He told that it’s alright.
“How about the lump on the left that you have mentioned previously?” I asked the doctor.
“I will need to talk to you about this. Let’s talk over there.” replied the doctor.
The sky was getting darker and darker ……….. and it appears that a storm is brewing outside.
I was brought to a sofa, the doctor launched his laptop application and showed me the picture of the CT Scan and he started explaining.
“As you can see over here (he pointed to the scan), you can see the lump ……………… This lump is over 15 cm and it’s an extension from your left kidney. If you compare the colour shades with your right kidney, this lump has uneven shades whereas your normal right kidney has an even shade of colour. This means that the cells on your left kidney are not normal kidney tissues.” the doctor continued “…….. and 99% of the chance that it is malignant.”
There was a sudden outburst of thunder.
It was a shock. I was just stunned by the news and I found myself quiet most of the time while my wife hold my hands tightly while the doctor continued his explanation of my diagnosis. I wasn’t listening to the doctor. Questions started to shout inside my head.
“Why this has to happen?”
“My mum died of lung cancer and why I am next?”
“Why?”
“What should I do?”
“My daughter is only 2.5 years old?”
“I am still young?”
The questions never seem to end.
“We do not know the extent of the spread of the carcinoma. What we need to do now is to go for further scan of the bones of your whole body and other organs in your thoracic area. If it’s localised, we will have to remove this tumour and you will be fine. If it has spread, we will have to decide another course of action” the doctor continued. “What I will arrange for you is ………”
Another sudden clap of thunder and it started to rain heavily. The Lion continued to move forward inside the tunnel. He could hear the thunder and the heavy rain but he just could not see anything. It appears to be his worst nightmare and it really was.
The story continues ………………

BELIEFS EQUAL RESULTS
Hi Friends
I am going to share with you today on how your beliefs (or what you believe in) can help you to get what you want or stop you from getting what you want. Before I share with you what is the relationship between beliefs and your results, I am going to ask you a couple of questions.
Do you believe that you can increase your total income by 5% next month? Do you believe that you can increase your total income by 15% next month? How about do you believe that you can increase your total income by 50% next month?
I know that you will most likely to believe that you can increase your total income by 5% but NOT 50% next month. Assuming that increasing your income is worthwhile and if you believe that you can increase your total income by 5%, will you do something to make it happen? Of course you will. But if you DO NOT believe that you can increase your total income by 50%, will you do something to make it happen? Of course NOT because you strongly believe that even if you do it, it’s not going to happen. So why waste time?
So do you realise that once you do NOT believe in something, you will NOT do anything about it since it’s not going to happen anyway. If you do NOTHING about it, then you get NOTHING. Let me give you an example. I have met many people and even friends who have a dream to start their own business. However, they do not believe that it’s possible because they will give reasons such as they are too old, too young, no money, no partners and the list goes on. The moment they believe that they CAN’T, they will NOT do anything, thus NO results.
Recently, I have launched my new investing programme called Value Investing Academy at http://www.investment-in-stocks.com/. This was possible because one of my current Master Trainer changed my belief that it’s possible to generate monthly income leveraging on Value Investing Methologies used by the richest investor in the world, Warren Buffett. Previously, I do not believe what he said, so I simply treat what he said as a passing remark. After he has showed me his investing account and the passive income that he makes monthly, my belief changed. Because of the change in my belief, I start taking ACTION. With that, RESULTS are produced. Please view one of the photos where the participants have changed their belief about generating monthly passive income, and thus real-life results.
You see how powerful Beliefs can be in changing your behaviour, your results and thus your life?
Let me share with you how you can change your beliefs by attending our Free NLP Workshop NOW!

Hi Friends
It’s really been a long while that I have updated this Blog. Looking on the positive side, I have really been busy with work and launching new programmes. Recently, have just shifted to a new cosy office and I am quite excited about decorating it to be my dream office.
During my recent Swish 13 batch, one of our graduate shared a video about this young woman by the name of Jessica Cox. Listened to this, she flies an airplane, she is a black-belt Tae Kwon Do, she drives a car and ……………. she has NO HANDS! YES! NO HANDS!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIx8jvo3BcU
Let me ask you this question – does this lady believe that she can fly a plane without hands? Does this lady believe she can drive a car without hands? Does this lady believe in herself that she can change the lives of others?
So do you believe in yourself? So do you believe that you can do anything?
Cheers!

How to Remove Procrastination?
Hi Friends
Recently, I received a call from a friend that was asking me on how to remove procrastination.
He was already doing well in Real Estate in terms of pay and he wanted to achieve more. However, whenever he wanted to work on his action items, he would procrastinate. That’s when he gave me the call.
So how do you remove procrastination?
Let me share with you a TRUE story regarding an Indian couple:
Back in 2005, there was this Indian couple in Singapore in which the husband was having a kidney failure. For such cases, you only have 2 choices: Dialysis or Kidney Transplant. I know you know that dialysis would be a painful and torturing process where depending on the severity of the condition, the patient would be required to go for dialysis at least 3 times per week. However, there was a person who volunteered to donate her kidney to this man ……. this person is her wife. My question to you is this. Do you think that the wife would procrastinate knowing that if she don’t donate her kidney, her husband would die?
I know you will say “NO”, the wife would not procrastinate. Why NOT?
Let me ask you this question, if waht you are going to do TODAY is as important as donating your kidney to your very love one, would you procrastinate?
Until the day that your GOAL is EXTREMELY COMPELLING, procrastination will consume you. However, if you know how to create a COMPELLING GOAL or use NLP tools to manage your procrastination, then your LIFE WILL CHANGE FOREVER!
Let me share with you how you can REMOVE PROCRASTINATION by attending our Free NLP Workshop NOW!

Getting Opportunities Vs Law of Attraction
Dear Friends
Whenever I conduct seminars or workshops, I consistently get 2 questions from the audience:
1) How come I always did not have opportunities while others have?
2) I have watched “The Secret” many times, but how come I am still unable to attract the things that I want if Law of Attraction really exists?
There is no “Secret” really. It is a known fact that has been converted into a “Secret”. Let me explain in simple terms. Recently, I have been conducting Social Media Workshops to share how businesses can increase their revenue by using free Social Networking Sites such as Facebook. Assuming that all the users have the same amount of knowledge on how to use Facebook. The question is why some could ’see’ opportunities in this platform while others couldn’t?
Let me share a 2 reasons out of so manyn of them:
1) Goals/Vision - Goal setting is so important and yet simple that many people take this for granted. If you have a clear goal of what you want, your ‘radar’ around your Goal will be switched on. In other words, your brain will automatically be on the alert mode such that you will be able to see anything (or opportunities) that is related to your Goal directly/indirectly. Some uses the scientific term Reticular Activating System (R.A.S.) to explain the exact portion that puts the brain on high alert. Play this simple activity: while you are reading this, what are the items in your surrounding that are white in colour (Your goal)? You will realised that you start to pick up items that are white (Opportunities come to your awareness). If I did not ask this question, all the white items are NOT in your awareness. Last evening, I just make 1 single neuro-connection in my mind that could increase my company turnover by 50% even in a economic crisis.
2) Beliefs - Is the current economic situation a crisis or an opportunity? Everyone would say that it’s an opportunity. But when I ask what is the opportunities that they see? Most of the trainees have problem answering that. So how does Beliefs allow someone to see opportunities? Assuming that 2 people share the same goals, one would not see opportunites if that person does not believe that he can reach the goal and vice versa.
Let me share with you a real life story of a trainee of mine. In this current economic crisis, he sees an opportunity to start a loan company (he has a Clear Goal right from the start) with a paid-up capital of S$200,000 such that he can help more people as more people are in need of money during bad times. But he has no money. So how can he start a company with S$200,000 to start making money with NO MONEY??
He DID!
If for a split second that you think it’s impossible, that’s your Limiting Belief blinding you from seeing the possibility of this opportunity, which is why one may NOT spot opportunities at all. So do you know how he did it?
Ask me on my workshop on the 7th Jan 09 at http://www.nlpinsingapore.com/free-nlp-preview-workshop.
Don't blame me if you start SEEING OPPORTUNITIES after the workshop!

NOBODY TO SOMEBODY
Hi Friends
The clock is ticking ..... in a few days time. Year 2009 will be a thing of the past. We will grow older by 1 year, the Earth would have completed 1 round of revolution around the Sun, the IR would be nearer to completion, and the list goes on....If you have read the Life Section of Straits Time today, you wo...uld have came across a young man (age:32) by the name of Eldwin Chua who has came far from a nobody 'zi char' cook to Paradise Group CEO which has 8 Chinese restaurants.I have friends who own restaurant but closed one after another. Some left with only one. Others closed all of them mainly because of the high rental. The interesting point is that Eldwin opened one restaurant at ION Orchard. You just need to speculate the rental/month that he needs to invest. So what makes him so successful? A few behavioural traits that are commonly found in all successful individuals:
1) 200% Focus on his Business - he eat, sleep & breathes restaurant
2) He slog - there is no replacement for hardwork. If you want to get-rich-quick, watch "Money Not Enough I & II"
3) He has a product that many Singaporeans crave - Creamy Butter Crab, an alternative to Chilly Crab
4) Constant innovation to differentiate his product - he hired a talented Head Chef from Pine Court Chinese Restaurant to create unique dishes
5) Empowering Beliefs - his dream was to bring his company to be publicly listed in 3 years. In 3 years time, he would only be 35.
What do you believe in? ......... the clock continues to tick ..... and I would like to wish all of you ......
A CLEAR, FOCUS AND RESULT-PRODUCING 2010!!
