Why you should stay hungry & foolish

One of the most poignant and inspiring speeches, this is Steve Jobs at his 2005 Stanford Commencement Address. In this address, the CEO and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios tells three stories about his life that span from dropping out of school to getting fired from Apple to overcoming cancer, and the turning points that led to founding Pixar and re-entering Apple in a newfound leadership role.

His speech shows how Steve Jobs confronts adversity, his obvious resilience and ability to encounter the lows and turn them around, his high level of awareness about his life and mind blowing perspective on the course of events, his trust in himself and the world even in the midst of situations that seemed to have “no way out.” This address will truly inspire you to be, do and experience everything that you desire.

Secrets of self-made millionaires

All self-made millionaires will tell you the same thing. Here are three of the moves you have to make so you can make your own fortune:

1. Set your sights on the prize. You must adapt intense concentration when you're working on your goal. You have to be determined to put in the long hours and do all the hard work to ensure your success. In this sense, you have to be passionate about what you're doing. When faced with setbacks, tell yourself, "No, this is your dream. Recommit and get to work."

2. See the possibilities in the money you have. Don't despair over starting small. All successful self-made tycoons start out that way. When extra money rolls in, it's easy to think, "Now, I can buy that new TV." But if you want to get rich, you need to pay yourself first, by putting money where it will work hard for you--whether that's in your retirement fund, a side business or investments like real estate.

3. Curb the urge to spend. Every self-made mogul will tell you that you must live below your means. Do not spend any single cent on things you don't need.

Remember that you don't have to be a genius to be a millionaire. (Although that wouldn't hurt.) Loral Langemeier, author of The Millionaire Maker, advises, "Everyone has a marketable skill. Just keep in mind that when you start making extra money, you have to invest in yourself first." This way, you would empower yourself with the insights to improve your skills or come up with more awesome innovations for your business or product."

Bottom line: The combination of financial savvy, hard work, and business smarts will take you very far. Perhaps, one day, you'll be right at the top of the list of self-made millionaires.

How to make 5-figures in less than a month!

Yes, you can make the equivalent of 1 year's salary in less than a month but you need to watch these videos to know how:

In case you’re wondering, no, I am not selling anything. I am just a FAN of this marketing genius.

You don’t even have to buy his product as he shares with you so much valuable information in the free videos that you can just take the knowledge and run with it – just like I did!

Why am I telling you this?

Because I know that many people think that they have to be an “expert” or “know the right people” to pull off deals worth thousands of dollars…and I’m here to prove that it is bullshit! You can take all your excuses and shove it up where the sun don’t shine!

The people profiled were all nobodies and they sealed deals in the tens of thousands!

They have stuff more valuable than expertise or contacts…they have BALLS!

Do you??

P.S. I am working on my own 5-figure deal and if it all works out, I should close it by the end of the month. Wish me luck! :)

How to have your dream home (or lifestyle)

Step 1: List down all your goals

Step 2: Calculate the total annual cost

Step 3: Divide into months then days

Step 4: Arrive at the amount you need to make daily

Step 5: Divide that by price of your product

I did my sums and realized that I just need to sell 46 ebooks per day to live my dream lifestyle – which is not modest and includes a condo in town, swanky car, exotic travels 4x a year, designer shopping, taking care of family & friends as well as charity.

This is very DO-ABLE as my website is open 24 hours to a worldwide market!

My sister, my inspiration!

Everyone need an inspiration - and it doesn't have to someone famous or a billionaire...

My younger sister is my inspiration. She was the one who handed me The 4-Hour Workweek which spurred me to write my first book, Boss of Me! If not for her, I would still be spending my time teaching private Pilates classes and writing freelance...which was a very good lifestyle but nothing as exciting as what I am doing now!

My second book, Sleep & Get Rich! was also triggered by her. At that time, she was taking an Internet marketing course and regaled me with stories about people making amazing passive income with their online businesses.

She was also the one who asked me to write a weight-loss book for post-pregnancy women. We worked on The Essential Post-pregnancy Weight Loss Guide (http://www.exercisepostpregnancy.com)together and subsequently created our own source of passive income.

And, when I had the idea to write a book about Internet marketing gurus in Asia, she fine-tuned my proposal and pointed me in the right direction.

All this while managing three successful online businesses (she was recently approached to franchise one of her business in Hong Kong!) and being the official "technical director" of our ebook.

Whenever we get together, we are constantly tossing ideas about and feeding our shared passion for Internet marketing. I always leave our sessions invigorated and hopeful.

Look for your own inspiration - it'll make your journey to success smoother...and way more fun!
