Helping others step forward, achieving results

Recently in the last 2 weeks I have been to many trainings and seminars. Meeting lots of new people which has given me an opportunities to speak to and help others to take particular action that they didn't feel comfortable in. By helping, encouraging and push them a little, it really makes a difference for them to step out of their comfort zone. It's a great feeling and satisfaction when you have seen/helped someone grow, for them to move forward.

Also I am so glad that someone pushed and helped me to do a task which I have put off a while, I thought I didn't have the right knowledge and setup to do that. But tonight i will do my 1st Teleseminar to a group of people.

Some of the task which when in Hindsight might seem easy but when first doing them to many people, including myself may sometimes feel uncomfortable doing them, maybe it is because of the following: 
  • we have never done a task before
  • lack of knowledge
  • bad experience
  • fear
  • worried about what people thinks
  • also other thoughts, feeling and experiences
So next time when you don't feel like doing something, be aware of your Thoughts and Feelings. Because that's what is stopping you from taking the necessary Actions to achieve your Results.

Also tell someone your goals and results you want to achieve and that they are willing to support you.  Get them to hold you accountable and encourage you to take the actions. Because actions is where it will give you results.

Remember TFAR
Thoughts > Feelings > Actions = Results

Last day at work and a new journey begins

Today it is the last day at work, after almost 10 years at Pace. I have finally escape the full time work in pursue of my business and property venture.

There are a mixture of feeling on this last day; a mixture of excitement/freedom and a bit of sadness. After all i have been at this company for so long and have been part of my life, routine and habit of going to work. But overall the freedom it bring overcome any sadness, as I am now able to move in the direction where I want to get to and aim to achieve my dreams and goals I have set myself.

I believe everything happen for a reason, so I am really happy and excited what lies ahead of me. Creating and building a new business with my business partners and learning from other property experts.  Although it may take a while to establish ourselves as a property investment business, but i do think when others see our successes of our property investments; others will soon be interested and want to work with us.

But starting a business requires a lot of hard work; include creating a well defined business plan/model; creating goals, strategy, process, etc; delegate work, roles and responsibilities; monitor the cash flow and finance, customer focus to offer best possible service and be accountable/responsible by taking all the necessary actions that will move the business forward.

So watch this space as I share my new experience of my new journey and life which begins now..!

Learn from mistakes

A great quote I recently learned and remembered, which says that

"Smart people learn from their mistakes,
smarter people learn from other people's mistakes,
and the smartest people learn from smart people's mistakes"
