Hi!
I want to share a thing or two about my latest obsession lately. Apart from ranting about the flood and all, this thing takes up MOST of my time. And when I say most, it means close to 24 hours…
I slept just a few hours everyday (on average 3).
I know. A study published in Readers Digest, Mens Health, and Prevention talks about laks of sleep and quality of life. The study even go to the extent to demontrate that lack of sleep directly linked to obesity!
Heck! I’ve no complaint about that…when I AM a few point above my ideal BMI (that’s Body Mass Index), xx overweight, and having waist circumference close to 38! I know…I know…
And I’m doing something about it; right after I finished with this project…Hah!
So maybe you’re wondering,”What kind of sane person willing to sacrifice health and longevity over something else? What could that something else be?”
I’m telling you, what I’m doing now is consistent with my ‘Value Hierarchy’.
“What’s that - value hierarchy?”
It’s a term coined by Tony Robins (since I got this from his book: Awaken The Giant Within) and what it meant was simply a list of values; your life values, listed in order of priority.
It means, you have your ‘I’m-willing-to-die-for’ value at the top, and ‘I-can-do-without-that’ at the bottom. I only pay attention to top 10. Not to say I ignore the rest, but paying attention to these top 10 was enough to keep me on guard all the time.
I haven’t answer the question, have I? Right…
Answer: I’m doing something to conform to my highest value: FREEDOM!
Freedom is top on my list.
Freedom is what I’m willing to die for.
Freedom is what I constantly strive and aim for.
Freedom is what I want others to have and experience.
I am made for freedom!
And by now,by our standard of today, freedom comes in many forms. But the most prominent form is ‘financial freedom’.
Now I’m in my early 30’s. I’ve spent nearly 1/3 of my whole life, to learn and build my financial freedom. Yes, financial freedom is like the house of the three little bears - I have to build it, and build it strongly so that the wolf can’t bring it down in a huff nor puff.
But my foundation is being tested as we speaks…
I’ll save that story for later but for now, I only focusing on a single thing, at this moment, as an effort to build the foundation for my financial freedom which is through Internet Marketing or Online Business.
Yup, we can argue untill the cows come home that focusing on a single stream of income is not only dangerous but insane! Thanks to Kiyosaki, Robert G. Allen et.al, the notion of multiple stream of income has become norm.
Even a Secondary school student is talking about multiple stream of income (and we have their active MLMers parents to thank to)!
Of course, having a multiple stream of income is ideal. I realize that. And that was the VERY reason why I got involved in IM now. I was heavily influenced by Robert G. Allen ‘Multiple Stream Of Income’, and both Robert Allen and Mark Victor Hansen ‘One Minute Millionaire’.
Both talks about Internet Marketing…
I remember my mother-in-law asked me about my vocation, and all I could explain to her was I’m selling something online.
I spare her the explanation of the whole Internet Marketing arsenal. I know she’ll be confused. And so will my friends. Some of them, even though are very familiar with computer and internet, go blank when I mention IM.
Some thought I promote pyramid, or illegal money scheme, and thought of chipping in!
I got a few, very few actually, friends who involved in IM. I learned a big success SECRETS from them. And I want to share it with you here.
The secrets is: Focus. Focus. And Focus some more.
That’s it! It eliminate frustration because we pay attention to only one thing or one step or one product or one program at a time without having to feel left behind. And just like I was influenced by Tony, Robert G., and Mark V. before, now I’ve found new source to look up to.
This report is responsible for my laser-like focus today…
And of course. Focus alone is not complete without a point to focus on. And I am working extra hard to focus on a proven IM - online business model.
How will it turns out?
Maybe I’ll let you know…provided I’m not BUSY.
Enough said. I want to get busy now…
