IPhone Blogging

Cool apps! First time I write blog by using my iPhone apps. It's real cool!

It has been 2 years I didn't write anything in this blog. Hmm but I have no idea what to write now. Guess when am I? At the starbucks near my office waiting for Jeremy to finish his work.

I have just set up my online boutique shop recently. Hopefully it will be going smoothly and profitable. Nope! I should say I will definitely make it profitable and become one of the successful online boutique shop in the world! This will be one of my resolution in this year!

Next Sunday will be the CNY! I haven't gotten my jean yet! This weekend must go and grab one! I just bought a few Chinese new year cookies. Ohh yeah! I got my green pea cookies too! Althought the taste of the green pea cookies still can't fight what Chef Nirmala's one. But it's better than none. Once I got my oven will try out that!

Ok... Guess I got to stop here. Will come back here again real soon!

My Dream House

Welcome to my 3-stories bungalow dream house!!!

This is a 3-storey bunglo with 5 bedrooms with attached bathrooms, 2 master-bedrooms, 1 maid bedroom, 1 home office room, 1 theater room, 2 kitchens (wet and dry kitchen), 2 balconies and 1 swimming pool at the top floor balacony. There is also a security guard house with the build in hidden camera system for the whole house beside the gate. Every morning we can choose to have our breakfast either in the dining room, back yard with fountain or beside the swimming pool at the top floor.

The ground floor of this house basically is quite simple. When first come in from the gate, there is a roundabout, small garden, guard house and car rooms. There is a wine room to store all the wines just between the living room and the dining room. Besides, there is my home office and maid room.

When go up to 1st floor, 4 rooms are for my future kids, 2 rooms for daughters and another 2 for sons. 2 daughters will share the attached bathrooms and same as my sons. Another attached bedroom is a guess room and sometimes for my parent to stay over night when they pay me a visit. OOhh... there is another room, it is a very interesting room --->>> HOME THEATER!!! With the exclusive Sony Home Theater set!!! In the middle of this floor, there is a big living room with the fireplace (for winter or maybe the cold weather). This is the family gathering room at night, weekend or whenever free time. There is a big balcony with the sofas. It is facing the beach...

Now is the master-bedrooms floor ==>> 2nd floor. There is 2 big master-bedrooms with the big attached bathroom that have jacuzzi, changing room and also attached with the bigest balcony with swimming pool that facing beach. The grey color master-bedroom is mine and another one (brown color) is for my future parent-in-law. Beside these 2 big, exclusive and outstanding master-bedrooms, there is also a laundry balcony with the washing machine, drying machine and the ironing place. So it will be more convenience for my maid and more productive for her to perform her work.

The Next Millionaires by Paul Zane Pilzer

The Next Millionaires by Paul Zane Pilzer

Many people spend their lives worrying about money: How to earn a living, keep up with expenses, buy a house or save for their future. When it comes to making money, what worked yesterday often doesn't work as well today, and may not work at all tomorrow.

     The knowledge many people have of business today is similar to a doctor's knowledge of medicine at the beginning of the 19th century. In the early 1800s, doctors administered medicines and observed which ones cured which diseases. But when a medicine worked, doctors didn't know why. Bacterial infections hadn't yet been discovered—let alone the antibiotics and immunizations we now use to treat them. 
     Once these secrets were discovered, doctors learned more about how the human body works, and they were able to cure many of the diseases—such as smallpox, typhoid and polio—that had been the scourge of mankind for millennia.
     To create wealth and succeed in business today and tomorrow, you must understand how economics work—why people behave as they do, and why businesses succeed and fail. Without understanding economics, many people fail because they are trying to capitalize on an opportunity that has come and gone … or they are simply too slow to react to new trends. This is truer today than ever before because our business environment's changing

THE END OF SCARCITY
     The most important message for direct sellers is this: If you want to become wealthy in the next five years, technology—using new and improved ways to get things done—is your best friend.
     Many economists and writers on economics today don't understand how wealth is created. The study of traditional economics is defined as the study of scarcity—how to distribute a limited supply of critical resources such as farmland, minerals, food, fresh water. Communism, socialism, capitalism, and so on, are all theories of how economies should function.
     I believe that there is no real scarcity. What matters is the technology you're using. Throughout history, every time society was about to run out of a supposedly scarce resource—like coal—people invented new resources—like oil—to replace it. Today we use technology more effectively than ever to get more out of "scarce" resources or replace them with better ones.

In 1974, when the U.S. faced its first critical shortage of gasoline, cars averaged 10 miles per gallon. By 1981, the U.S. solved most of its oil shortage by replacing mechanical carburetors in cars with electronic fuel injectors, raising average automobile gas mileage to 20 miles per gallon or more. This had the same effect as doubling our supply of oil.
     In my book, Unlimited Wealth, I write that it isn't physical resources that make you wealthy; it is technology that makes you wealthy. Otherwise, Japan, which in the 1980s had the lowest per capita level of physical resources such as land, fresh water and oil in the developed world, should have had the lowest amount of wealth per capita— but it had the highest. The former Soviet Union, a nation with the largest per capita amount of physical resources, would have had the highest level of wealth. But it had the lowest—so low, that by 1991, the USSR ceased to exist as a single nation.

TECHNOLOGY : WHAT IS HOT TODAY WILL BE OBSOLETE TOMORROW
Look at the sheer speed of technological change in our time. In 1930, there were 30 million farmers in the U.S. barely producing enough food for 100 million people. By 1980, there were only 3 million farmers left producing one and a half times the food required for 300 million people. Is this because they acquired more farmland? No, it was because farmers got more technology and increased their productivity per farmer 45 times and their productivity per farm 100 times.
     In 1980, approximately 300,000 people worked in the U.S. making and repairing $300 mechanical carburetors when the automakers embraced $25 electronic fuel injectors—which doubled fuel economy and almost halved pollution. By 1985, when the last U.S. carburetor plant closed, these 300,000 people were out of work. The destruction of that industry took only five years—one-tenth the amount of time it took for most of America's farmers to become redundant.
     In 1985, when the digital audio CD came out, about 100,000 people in the U.S. worked making vinyl records. By 1990, there wasn't a vinyl record plant left in the U.S. and these 100,000 people where thrown out of work.
     Similarly, it took 20 years, from 1976-1996, to go from zero to 135 million VCRs in U.S. households, but only two years, 2003-2004, for the DVD to decimate the VCR industry and eliminate the jobs of almost 100,000 people working with VCRs and VHS tapes.
     Because technology is now changing faster than ever before, in every industry, the person who attains the most wealth is the one who manages or has the most technology versus the most physical resources.

THE WEALTH OPPORTUNITY TODAY IS IN DISTRIBUTION
     Back in the 1960s, when you went into a department store and bought something, about 50 percent of the retail price represented distribution costs and 50 percent represented manufacturing costs. Over the next two decades, many people became millionaires by finding cheaper ways of making things, often by shipping production overseas and using new materials like plastics. These 1960s entrepreneurs lowered the cost of manufacturing so much that soon, the price of a typical retail item represented only 20 percent manufacturing costs and 80 percent distribution costs.
     Then, beginning in the late 1970s, innovative entrepreneurs found ways to drive down that 80 percent distribution cost. Three entrepreneurs whose companies took off during that period, making them among the richest men in the world, included Sam Walton, whose Wal-Mart stores pioneered the use of technology to control inventory and lower costs; Fred Smith, whose Federal Express company linked the country and much of the world with rapid, guaranteed delivery service; and Ross Perot, founder of Electronic Data Systems (EDS), a pioneer in the computer storage of business and government records, which is to say, the distribution of information.
     You might think this suggests that the big money in distribution has already been made. Not so! Despite a massive lowering of distribution costs by Wal-Mart and others, distribution costs today still make up approximately 80 percent of total retail prices. Why? The advent of new manufacturing methods and the emergence of China as the "world's manufacturer" have been lowering the cost of manufactured goods!

THE #1 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY : "INTELLECTUAL" DISTRIBUTION
     The success of Wal-Mart and other mass merchants has created new opportunities—particularly for those individuals seeking a part-time or full-time home-based business—that could exceed the opportunity seized by the distribution billionaires of the last three decades. Ironically, this opportunity was created by the very success of the mass merchants themselves—and it is tailor-made for direct sellers to exploit.
     For 100 years, prior to the emergence of Wal-Mart, Target and Costco, retailing in the United States was dominated by department stores like Macy's, Filene's and Marshall Fields. These distribution giants of their time simultaneously performed the two critical functions of distribution:
     (1) Intellectual Distribution—Teaching consumers about products and services that will improve their lives, typically items that they either don't know exist or don't know are now affordable; and
     (2) Physical Distribution—Physically
delivering to consumers the products and services they already know they want.
     Then consumers started spending a smaller proportion of their money on "durable" goods such as major appliances and televisions, and more on "consumable" goods like cleaners, paper towels and batteries. Consumers who buy supplies just want to get them and go. For this purpose, the one-story, big-box stores, with their focus on convenience and speed, decimated the multi-story department stores.
     However, to be convenient and fast, the mass merchants left out a critical aspect of the buying transaction. Mass merchants ignored the intellectual distribution part of the equation. Mass merchants don't take the time to teach anyone about new products. They sell their customers exactly what they already knew they wanted before they walked in the store.
     Educating people on new products and services is now the #1 business opportunity for those who are looking to create long-term wealth. Manufacturers in virtually every field create new products on an hourly basis—often products that can deliver great benefits, lower prices or both to consumers. But in today's mass-communications world, there is no efficient way to teach consumers about these newer and better products. The mass merchants don't do it and the department stores of yesteryear are no longer in business. This creates an enormous opportunity, especially for people looking to start a home-based business.
Today's new fortunes in distribution are being made by retail entrepreneurs who focus almost entirely on teaching consumers about new products and services. They don't handle the products, but rely on services like UPS or Federal Express to physically deliver them.
     Hasn't the Internet successes of recent years solved this intellectual distribution component? Actually, it hasn't. Sure, one of the Internet entrepreneurs, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon.com, became Time magazine's "Person of the Year" in 1999 for pioneering online intellectual distribution. If current trends continue, the fortunes of new intellectual-distribution billionaires like Bezos (age 40, net worth $4.3 billion) and eBay founder, Pierre Omidyar (age 36, net worth $8.5 billion), are poised to surpass the physical distribution billionaires of yesterday.
     However, these online visionaries are filling only a small percent of the critical need in our economy for intellectual distribution. This is partly because their medium, the Internet, represents less than one-tenth of total retail sales. But mostly, it's because, when it comes to motivating consumers to try a new product or service, there is currently no substitute for one-on-one, person-to-person contact, which no computer can provide.
     Direct selling is the perfect intellectual distribution business for today's economy. A home-based business doesn't require a storefront, warehouses, employees or massive back office support operations. It only requires one person—you—willing to handle the education, the intellectual component of the distribution process.

DIRECT SELLING—THE LATEST (AND OLDEST) METHOD OF INTELLECTUAL DISTRIBUTION
     To change the brand a consumer uses, or to get him or her to try a product he or she doesn't know exists, the consumer must have direct contact with another human being. The department stores of yesterday did this automatically. They routinely staffed each part of the store with salespeople trained in their department's specialty.
     The demise of these stores has left manufacturers grasping at straws when it comes to finding a method to efficiently teach consumers about their new products and services.
     Only one form of intellectual distribution appears to be able to fill this gap: the modern direct selling industry.
     Direct selling is actually the oldest form of selling. For most of human history, direct sellers were peddlers and the primary distributors of tools and technologically-based goods. They initially handled both intellectual and physical distribution for their wares, until the development of third-party shipping and postal systems allowed them to concentrate on intellectual distribution and simply take orders. Then, in the 19th century, many direct sellers put down roots and became general store and department store merchants.
     Today, the modern direct selling industry is poised to become the distribution method of choice for all new products and services. Direct sellers bring the best both intellectual and physical distribution to their consumers: 
(1)Direct sellers speak one-on-one with consumers;
(2)Direct sellers use the best third-party methods of physical distribution, such as Federal Express or UPS, to deliver the merchandise; and
(3)Direct sellers use the Internet and other instant technologies to keep consumers informed of minor updates and to facilitate re-ordering and maintain back-office accounting functions.      

FOUR PREDICTIONS FOR THE NEXT FIVE YEARS
1) The next five years offer you better opportunities to become wealthy than any time in the past 100 years. This is because of new technology and recent changes in U.S. law.
2) The businesses that will prosper most will be in distribution. However, this will not mean distributing physical boxes of product, but providing information about innovative products and a convenient means of ordering them. I call this intellectual distribution.
3) Direct selling is the most effective way to create wealth through intellectual distribution.
4) The number of U.S. millionaires will increase 50 percent, from 7.2 million today to 10.8 million by 2010. Many of these 3.6 million new U.S. millionaires will make their fortune in the direct selling industry.

Funny

Yesterday, I met a lady. She is working with one of the bank. She works very late every night and sometimes until 3 or 4 in the morning even work on weekend. I asked her why? The reason is short of manpower and hard to get a good staff as after trained them, they will just look for another better opportunity.

I was asking her why not she moves on to another company as for her years of working experience, she can easily get a better job in other banks. But she resisted to change as she is too "comfortable" here. Her "comfortable" means she knows the inside out of this company, she knows how the top management work... but if she moves on to another company, she has to start to adapt into the new culture, start over again to know the top management... and etc... hmmm... she is not a risk taker though...

A lot of people like her. Keep on complaint on their job but never do anything to change it. This is real sad!!! If you don't even want to move a step ahead to change it... why you keep on complaint?

There is a lot of people complain about the economy, complain about the petrol price goes up, complain about the recession... when someone approach them to generate the 2nd income... they said NO TIME!!! But very funny... they have times to complain all these, they have plenty of times to hang out with friends, they have plenty of times to follow up the news... That's really funny!!! Don't you think so?

Routine Life

Today the weather is quite hot. I can't remember how many times my alarm clock snooze... finally woke up at 7.35am. Be frank, I didn't feel like wake up. It will be so good if I can woke up a little bit late...

If life is just about wake up early in the morning, stuck in the jam to office, work, or may be stay back and work, stuck in the jam back home, after shower, sleep. Then the next morning do the same thing again and again... a routine life, I don't see the excitement in life man!!!!

I believe life should be something better then this. Don't you think so? I hate the alarm clock sound... I hate to get out from my bed with my comforter early in the morning... I hate to stuck in the jam with my eye half open... I hate to stay back and work late... I hate the corporate environment - back step here and there... I hate to chasing the quota or KPI... LIFE IS NOT JUST LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get Free!!!

When you were 5 years old, what were the things that you wanted in life? When you were a teenager, what were the dreams that you wanted for your future? But, sad to say that, when people grow older, they tend to forget all the dreams that they have for their life and future. You work hard day and night, but what did you get?

If today you can't perform in your organisation due to illness or some other issues, what will happen to you? Will you still get the wages that you usually received by the end of the month? Will you achieve your dreams and the things that you always wanted in your life?

We have attended a major function in Jakarta. The function was held at two stadiums in Jakarta. Believe me or not, both stadiums were full of people who have dreams and were willing to do something about it. What are you guys doing here? WAKE UP!!!!

There were a lot of people who have achieved in certain stages and are recognized for their hardwork on the stage. They fight for freedom in their life.

Think about it, would you prefer to wake up anytime in the morning and choose what you want to do or use the alarm clock to wake you up and get stuck in the jam to work? May be you would love to read this book: I Am Playing Golf While You In Traffic Jam - written by Simon Thompson.

The Stadiums were full of people...

These are the recognition for those who fight for their dreams and reach at certain stage

Thes are the seats for those leaders who has succesfully help people to achieve their dreams.

Here are some of our pictures...

The Stage

Peter Cox, an Australian was the speaker for that two nights. He started into this business in year 1988 and has been retired since year 1992. He is currently in the age of 42. He is married with Debbie with 2 kids, Dane (13) and Jarrod (11).

Petor and Debbie have been helping a lot of people to become a financially independent. Their businesses are in 29 countries and each country represent one pipeline. They are driven to see their leadership follow in their footsteps and achieve freedom just like they were able to achieve.

Their 2 kids, Dane and Jarrod, are their drive and inspiration and the ability for them to work from home. Building a global business as full time parents is what they value the most. They control their own time, unlike most people who allow time to control their life.

As a result of the time and money Peter and Debbie have created, they have also been able to diversify into other passions of their life such as writing books to share their experiences with others, taking on a leadership role in professional sport and raising money for charities like Youth Insearch of Australia. They are driven to help their Leadership Team develop their leadership skills and leadership capacity and to bring about a change in their thinking as they believe nothing will be changed if you insist not to change your thinking. What Peter and Debbie saw in this Business Plan in year 1988 was the opportunity to create a better quality of life by helping others to achieve a better quality of life.

All these are part of the Leadership Team of Peter and Debbie in the world.

HELP and HOPE

Since when you stop giving care and love to someone that need it? Since when you forgot someone who need your help and love? Since when you just ignore all the eye glazed from the helpless children?

Did you ever think that if you can give them a smile, love, care.... they will see the hope in their future?







On Wednesday, 19th Dec 2007, MRI Worldwide (M) Sdn Bhd spent a few hours in the afternoon with all these children. They were so glad and enjoy during the whole session. Although was just a few hours and under the sun in the afternoon, but their joy and laughter melted all of our heart.
