My next burning desire - Z750 and Audi Q5

Ada di antara anda yang meminta saya share apa yang ada pada 'dream wall' saya di rumah. Permintaannya adalah untuk saya mengambil gambar dream wall saya dan pamerkan di blog ini. Saya telah cuba berbuat demikian, tapi terlalu kecil utk di masukkan di sini. Jadi, biarlah saya share apa yg saya targetkan mase terdekat ini, iaitu kawasaki Z750 dan booking fee for Audi Q5.

Goal saya sekarang adalah untuk mencapai Gold Director secepat mungkin, selewatnya akhir tahun ini. Reward yang saya telah tetapkan sekiranya saya dapat itu adalah memberli Kawasaki Z750 dan booking Audi Q5.

Walaupun saya boleh membuat kedua-duanya sekarang, namun saya menghukum diri saya utk tidak berbuat demikian sehingga Gold Director tercapai. Ini secara tidak langsung akan sentiasa mengingatkan saya utk mencapai Gold secepat mungkin setiap kali saya ternampak Audi dan motor besar di jalan raya.

Saya akan bercakap mengenai impian dengan lebih mendalam pada artikel akan datang. Buat masa ini cukuplah saya ingin mengatakan kepada anda semua yg ada target terdekat di luar sana agar juga menyediakan reward seperti saya. Reward lah diri anda sekiranya anda berjaya mencapai target yang dikejar itu. Of course these immediate rewards are on my dream wall.

Dua perkara sebelum org mahu mengikut anda

Dalam siri yg lepas, saya membincangkan ttg 2 perkara yg prospk ingin tahu sebelum dia join dlm network anda. Slp prospek join, dia mencari jawapan kepada lagi dua persoalan sbm dia mahu mendengar nasihat anda dan menjadi pengikut anda. Atau sekurang-kurangnya mengiktiraf anda sebagai leader.

Jawapan yg mereka cari adalah:

1. Adakah anda kompiten (competent)? Bermaksud, adakah anda mempunyai cukup ilmu ttg selok belok biz anda?
2. Adakah anda mempunyai arah tuju? (do u have direction?)

Lagi cepat anda dpt beri jawapan ini kepada downline/partner baru anda, lagi cepat dia akan menurut nasihat anda.

Tetapi di dlm biz networking, kita boleh perkenalkan downline baru kita itu kepada upline team kita yg boleh memberikan dua jawapan di atas.

Jadi, apakah yang orang ingin tahu semasa anda STP?

Pernah tak anda berada dalam situasi, di mana tatkala anda duduk di depan prospek utk STP (Show the Plan), anda merasakan, atau anda tanya dalam hati:

apakah agaknya orang depan aku ni pikir ek?

dia paham ker apa yang aku terangkan ni?

apesal muka dia mcm 'blank' jer ni?

dia ni nak aku abis cepat ker?

kenapa dia perhati semua benda pasal aku tetapi tidak kertas yg ada atas meja ni?

dan banyak lagi pertanyaan-pertanyaan lain yg bermain difikiran dan hati anda...

Sebenarnya, hanya ada dua perkara shj yg prospek ingin tahu dan cuba cari dari penampilan anda, sebelum dia mahu mendengar betul-betul atau sedikit mengambil perhatian dari apa yg anda sedang present. Jika anda gagal memberi jawapan kepada apa yg prospek cari ini, maka STP anda tidaklah effective. Sebaliknya, jika anda memberikan jawapan seawal yg mungkin, maka lebih cepatlah prospek tersebut ingin memberi perhatian kepada apa yg anda 'present' kan.

Dua perkara, ataupun jawapan yg prospek cari itu adalah:

1. Do u really care about me? Adakah anda benar-benar mahu menolong prospek mendapatkan apa yg diimpikannya?
2. Can i trust u? Adakah anda seorang yang boleh dipercayai?

Inilah dua perkara yg prospek mahukan jawapan daripada anda sebelum dia mahu mengambil perhatian terhadap STP anda. Dan sudah tentu bukan jawapan secara verbal (lisan) yang prospek mahukan. Sebaliknya, prospek akan meninjau anda dari banyak segi; cara anda bercakap, cara anda berpakaian, cara anda memberi komitmen, kesungguhan anda, senyuman, body language dan sbgnya. Sudah tentu ini adalah berbeza scopenya dari satu prospek dengan prospek yang lain.

Namun, sekiranya anda benar-benar ikhlas tentang apa yang anda ingin kongsikan, anda benar-benar yakin dan komited dgn biz anda dan anda benar-benar ingin 'menyentuh' kehidupan org di depan anda ke arah yg beribu kali ganda lebih baik, ini akan dpt dirasakan oleh prospek seawal lima minit pertama anda jumpa dia. Dengan kata lain, sekiranya anda mempunyai hati yg betul2 ingin bekerja bersama dengan prospek utk mencapai impian prospek itu, maka jawapan di atas akan dpt 'dirasakan' oleh prospek di peringkat awal pertemuan, lantas kebarangkalian dia akan enroll adalah lebih besar.

Ya, ada perkara di dalam biz networking ini yg tidak boleh diungkai dgn mulut spt "trust me" or "percayalah cakap aku" or "aku betul2 nak tolong ko nie" dll. Tetapi hanya boleh dirasai dlm hati...

Crackin' the millionaire code

Wow! I am sooo into this song right now. It is called 'Crackin the millionaire code', given by my mentor a couple of months back. It's a grreat song! I have never heard of the singer, but she sings very well. Whoever wants to hear this song, do let me know ya? Here's an excerpt of the lyrics:

Are you ready to go
Are you tired of choosing a longer road
Are you ready to solve a mystery

Do you want to know
Do you want to lighten a heavy load
Do you want to meet your destiny

Get up, get up and choose
It's not a question of fate
Take control, time to move
It's never too late

It's already here inside
The answer to your dreams
You've got the keys, so decide
It's easier that it seemed
With the higher power guiding you
Your life will explode
You're gonna be crackin the millionaire code
...
....
.....
Beautiful and powerful lyrics right? I guess this song is meant for people like us, people who are somewhat 'mad, bonkers, round the bend'.. people who would never be understood by common people just because we have some uncommon dreams.. but like Alice (as in Alice in Wonderland) said to Mad Hatter when he asked her if he's mad "all the great people are"..

Buku Paling Baik Untuk Belajar Tentang Manusia

Pernah saya katakan bahawa antara rahsia kejayaan dalam biz networking adalah pengetahuan kita tentang manusia itu sendiri. Malah, pengetahuan tentang manusia ini bukan sahaja akan membantu kita dalam perniagaan tetapi juga di tempat kerja, di rumah dan masyarakat.

Pernah juga saya katakan, manusia ni adalah makhluk yang komplek. Sekejap boleh mood baik, sekejap lagi boleh tukar mood. Kejap boleh jangka, kejap tak boleh jangka.

Namun kompleksiti ini telah dibuat nampak begitu ringkas oleh buku yang paling klasik tentang manusia iaitu "How to Win Friends and Influence People" yang dikarang oleh Dale Carnegie. Buku ini telah ditulis rasanya 40 tahun dahulu tetapi masih diguna-pakai sehingga ke hari ini dan telah terjual sebanyak 15 juta copy dan telah diterjemah ke banyak bahasa. Apa yang penting adalah, kajian mengatakan, semua orang yang berjaya dalam perniagaan di dunia ini telah membaca buku ini. Mungkin tidak keterlaluan jika saya mengatakan bahawa buku ini adalah antara faktor kejaan dalam perniagaan.

Ada seorang networker yang berjaya pernah berkata, "i wouldn't get my success today without learning about people principle taught in this book, and you know what, i am still reading it until today and still learning or at least being reminded of what people around us always wanted and appreciate and magnet to you"

Buku yg kedua yg merupakan asas kepada kajian tentang manusia adalah yg bertajuk Personality Plus (seperti dlm gambar). Telah terjual melebihi satu juta buah dan diterjemah kebanyak bahasa. Di dalam buku ini, manusia yg komplek ini telah dikelaskan kepada empat kelas yg mudah dan simple untuk difahami. Jadi, seorang networker yang telah membaca buku ini akan dapat memahami watak orang yg dia jumpa dalam masa 5 minit pertama. Lantas, dia akan pandai macam mana nak melayan orang tersebut mengikut kelasnya.

Adalah satu kesilapan sekiranya seorang networker itu cuba melayan semua orang yang dia jumpa sama sahaja. Sedangkan anak-anaknya di rumah pun berbeza-beza perangai.

Inilah dua buah buku yang saya cukup recommend utuk seseorang networker baca bagi mendapat ilmu-ilmu asas tentang manusia. Daripada buku-buku inilah lahirnya banyak lagi buku tentang manusia yang lain.

Saya pernah jumpa leader yang kaya yang tidak ambil endah untuk membaca buku tentang manusia. Dia menjadi leader yang kurang disenangi dan disayangi oleh downline. Dan, akhirnya business beliau merudum sehingga dia terpaksa bertukar ke company networking yang lain.
Saya juga telah berjumpa dgn ramai leader yg bukan sahaja kaya, tetapi juga bijaksana (wise) tentang ilmu manusia. Mereka menjadi leader yg disenangi dan disayangi oleh downline. Maka biz mereka terus berkembang dan income mereka stabil.

Saya harap, dengan membaca berulang kali buku-buku di atas, anda menjadi golongan leader yang kedua - wealthy (kaya) and wise (bijaksana) and healthy juga.

People business

Network marketing adalah satu industri/biz yg asasnya adalah org/manusia.

It is a truly people biz.

Iainya melibatkan kita utk:

• menegur orang atau memulakan perbualan dengan orang yg tidak dikenali (prospecting)
• membuat appointment utk sharing dengan orang (inviting)
• bertemu atau membawa orang ke event mingguan utk tunjukkan biz kita (sharing/show the plan)
• kita register/enroll orang dengan bayaran (recruit)
• kita encourage orang follow sistem (development/motivation)
• dan kita jadikan orang leader (empowerment/duplication)

Dari awal hingga akhir, semuanya melibatkan orang/manusia. Melibatkan utk kita ber 'interface' dengan manusia.

Jadi adalah merupakan kelebihan sekiranya kita mempunyai ilmu tentang manusia.

Manusia adalah makhluk yg emotianal driven, kompleks, kekadang blh kita jangka dan kekadang tidak. Namun banyak kajian dan permerhatian yg telah dibuat terhadapa manusia yang boleh digunapakai oleh networkers untuk mengembangkan biz nya.

Adalah malang kepada networkers yg tidak mahu belajar ttg ilmu manusia ini. Langsung blh belajar tentang dirinya sendiri, pasangannya, keluarganya dan orang lain.

Apa yg saya ingin katakan di sini adalah, Network Marketing biz adalah people biz. Bermakna, networkers belajar dan mengaplikasi ilmu tentang manusia. Dan seterusnya, melayan manusia menurut kelasnya masing-masing.

Saya akan sambung tentang manusia di tulisan akan datang...

Burn the Ship!

If you are doing this business on a part time basis, this is probably the most priceless piece of advice that someone could give you and this is the same advice that my long-time mentor had given me once: BURN THE SHIP! And I still need to hear this advice, again, and that's why I am bringing up this subject.

Burning the ship does not necessarily mean that you have to quit your job, but whatever it is that you are holding onto for security (like a day time job) is keeping you mentally unprepared to pursue your business with the full determination needed for you to succeed.

As Stone Evans cleverly said 'INTERNALLY, you must find a way to "burn your ships of security" and start relying on your business AS IF IT'S THE ONLY THING YOU'VE GOT'. Doesn't matter if you don't know who this guys is, but the statement does make lots of sense right? If the business is your sole source of income, wouldn't you work harder for it? In fact, you would work the hardest!

Want to know how a ship on fire looks like? Have a feel...

Pie in the Sky

When talking about great opportunities like network marketing, real estate, etc., you know the kind of options that would make us huge amount of money, most of us could not help but have this at the back of our heads 'oh, that's is great, but it is just a pie in the sky'.. To those who are not familiar with this idiom, it is about something very promising that's just isn't going to materialize. Like the following composition from 'The Preacher and the Slave' by legendary labor hero Joe Hill, which is then became part of the widely distributed 'little red songbooks' of the Industrial Workers of the World:

You will eat, bye and bye,
In that glorious land above the sky;
Work and pray, live on hay
You'll get pie in the sky when you die.

However, as many of the great leaders (in whatever fields they may be) would tell us, everything is possible. And I couldn't agree more.

In Usana, I see people come and go. They came with great anticipation that they're going to make it in this business. And they should be. What went wrong? Not enough fire inside of them to get them through the challenges? Not enough action on their part? Not consistent? May be..

We've been mentored and coached on how to do this business in the best possible ways. It is really up to us to work it so that it will work for us. Doesn't matter from which angle you look at it, Usana is definitely not another pie in the sky...

Great Marketing Plan

I heard too many times about this. It made people mad, sad, and frustrated at the same time. It's about a great marketing plan went sour. And I heard it again a couple of days ago. And it just broke my heart to think about all those people that worked so hard, thinking that they could earn the promised reward, that's just not going to materialize. It would not come just as rain on their parade, we're talking about hurricanes!

And why do these things happened in the first place? Many reasons. But for me, I think there are 2 reasons. One, the marketing plan was prepared shabbily. Not enough calculations and analysis were done to justify the figures offered. And second, it was done to lure people in. Either case, it is bad. They say that life is not always peachy-creamy. Well it could be, at least as far as marketing plan is concerned.

For network marketers, I think the first thing that they have to do when they want to join a certain company is that they have to look for stability of the company. If the company has existed for more that 10 years, it is a good company. Then look at how many times during their existance have they changed their marketing plan. Many changes means bad. And then, look at the marketing plan itself (with the help of a senior associate that is). If it is never been changed but nobody could understand it, watch out. There is a possibility that you will never get the bonuses promised. There is a trick somewhere, hidden in that marketing plan. Or maybe it is only good for the top people, which is not so good for the new ones that just joined the company.

Anyhow, since the inception of Usana, they have never changed their marketing plan until a couple of years ago when they actually added more good stuff to the existing one to make it even better to their associates. There are many good things about Usana marketing plan such as easy to understand, helps the newly joined associates to get money fast, the 100% overriding bonus that's not found enywhere else, etc, etc, etc. Just take time to really understand it, and I am definitely confident that you will be amazed. As my friend was telling me, "the more you know about Usana, the more you will love the company"..

Of pully and PEARLS

I had a chance to meet with one of my great mentors lately, although not a one-on-one kind of thing, I still feel like he was talking directly to me ;) Anyway, he was talking about network marketers and although we meant good to our prospects, they seemed to be running away from us. And because of this, sometimes it makes us feel doubtful - are they running away because it is us or because they don't like the business?

And according to my mentor, this is because network marketers are 'generally' pushy. This is just a generalization you see.. But that's the perception that most people have about us. And instead of pushy, we should be pully. And how, you asked? Ok, here goes.

When we meet people, after introducing our name, take great interest in them. Ask them sincerely, not with that I-am-going-to-get-their-name-cards-no-matter-what intention at the back of our head. Then ask them, what are they currently working on. And they will tell you. Oh yes, people love it when we ask what they are up to, with the exceptions of some sickos, that is. When they tell you, listen. And when they are finished, ask them how we can be of assistance to what they are doing or ask if we find somebody that could help them, how could we contact them. That is one.

Then they will ask us, what are we doing. Although we want jump up and to tell them what we do and could actually spend the next 4 hours talking to them about our great marketing plan, don't! I repeat, don't. Then ask them, what else are you working on? And repeat the same process above. Then ask the third question - what else are you working on? And repeat the process again. Why we asked 3 times? This is to show that we are really interested to listen to them and the best part is that, they are going to make an effort to listen to us. You get the idea?

Next, when they ask us, what are we doing, don't jump and explain the products and the marketing plan there and then. Just tell them that we are currently working with a network marketing company called Usana and we are looking for people that meet our criterias to be our next business partner - people who are positive, entreprenual, action oriented, relationship oriented, leader and successful but not contented (PEARLS). And we ask them this "would you happen to know somebody that meets this criteria"? And take it from there.

And according to my mentor, that is how we get to be pully. This might not suit some of us, but I like this approach. They may not become my next business partner, but somehow with this approach I think I will have many, many friends in a long run. Don't you think so?

Monkeys

I may sound harsh, but monkeys, they are everywhere! Lots and lots of them around. I meet monkeys on daily basis in my pursuit of developing huge banana farms so that I could reap the fortune from these farms, and have lots of bananas to eat too! You see, knowing that monkeys like bananas very much, I thought monkeys would make great business partners. However, when I present them the idea, most of these primates would just snare at me, stick their tounges at me or even make OOO-OOO-AAA-AAA sound, and some days they even do this in groups! Snaring is quite ok but to be made fun of is something that I do not enjoy.

But looking at the bright side of it, these will be great stories to tell to my family especially my grandchildren, when I am in the middle of the banana farm, having a picnic with them, with great banana cake as a desert. And where would the monkeys be? God knows, they may still be on that same tree where they made me that OOO-OOO-AAA-AAA sound, hoping to eat a nice, ripe, delicious banana..

La La Land

When we are new in the business, everything seems so exciting. We can practically see names dropped from the ceiling when we lie down. Names of the prospects that is. We kind of wonder why other people are not interested in this business. We may be sitting down, but inside, we 'rock' with excitement.

After some time, after some rejections, we started to feel less motivated. Less amazed with the business. And if this is not curbed, we will then journey to the dangerous world. Welcome to the La La Land. The land that is free from the constant thought of the need to call our prospects, free from going to an appointment and have it cancelled at the last minute, free from rejections, etc, etc, etc..

Don't go there. It is dangerous, and it is contagious. We don't want the whole of our group vacationing in that big bad La La Land. Networking business is full of challenges. No pain, no gain. We heard about this a lot. But somehow it does not stick in our heads. To be a millionaire, we are expected to go through a lot of challenges like a boat on an open sea.

And that is why most of the sifus in network marketing are suggesting that we visualize our dreams by having a dream book. Heck, I know a person who has a dream wall. Talk about big dreams! We are also encouraged to hang out with the people who are practically in the same boat as us to change ideas, discuss and help each other, go to the related functions, listen to motivational audios and read books (and they better not be the sci-fi or love story kind of books!).

The way I see it, the business is easy to do and it is easy not to do. Question is, are we tough enough? Are we willing to pay the price in order to get to the land of our dreams? Can we sacrifice our TV time to do this business? Willing to take away some of our free time on weekends to see potential business partners?

It would be sad to be able to have a glimpse of the land of our dreams but later blocked by the temporarily exciting place called La La Land.

Comprende?

Never Lose Your Reputation

Askm. I have once a privileged to sit with a billionaire in Network Marketing. Among all, his advice was 'never ever lose your reputation'. And i don't know why that phrase stuck in my head for years up until i'm writing this.

He said, "if you lose money, you lose nothing. If you lose a friend, you lose something. But, if you lose your reputation, you lose everything."

Lots of leaders in Networking world who lost control of the huge money that they earn and start to invest in something that is not wise, in fact sometimes being conned to something illegal. Probably drive by certain reasons, including greeds, they actually not only killing the network that has been earning them money, but also their invaluable reputations.

Lose of reputation will make them very hard to come back to the existing group, furthermore to the world of Networking. I myself has met 2 top leaders who lose their integrity. From having 6 luxurious cars to riding a second-hand honda-kapcai. In fact, the other use his feet and public transport for travelling around.

So, touch your forehead now, and repeat this declaration "I will not lose my reputation, hence my good name. i'm a good leader who earns his respects from his group."

Hunger

I met some interesting people in the last couple of weeks. There are people who are afraid to open up for this business (maybe they are afraid of failure, I presumed, coz they're not telling), there are people who looked interested but hesitant to join in for some reasons, and there are people who wanted to join but they don't have the money.

As mentioned in one of the classes that I attended in my pursuit of becoming a millionaire in network marketing some eons ago (don't laugh, some people have big dreams, including me), these are all 'masks'. They are not valid reasons. The real reasons they didn't want to join is because of their lack of 'hunger'. They don't hunger to get more in life, to achieve something bigger, to be successful. So let them be. I have shown them the way. I have done my part. It's not my fault that they want to stay as they are, forever if they may.

Ada aku kisah?

Excitement dan Hope

Di dalam dunia network marketing, elemen di atas adalah tonggak kepada perkembangan sesuatu team.

Excitement(ke-teruja-an) dan hope (harapan) bukanlah seperti chicken and egg, yang manakah hadir dulu? Di dalam networking, 'harapan' terhadap apa yg hendak dicapai perlu hadir dulu barulah keterujaan akan datang. Lebih jelas harapan, lebih tinggi keterujaan.

Harapan yg saya maksudkan di sini adalah harapan seseorang dapat mencapai impiannya. Bolehlah jugak dianggap sebagai kebarangkalian utk mencapai impian tersebut. Ada orang yg terlibat dlm networking dengan impian yg mudah spt kereta mewah, hutang credit card, melancong, perkakas rumah, etc. Namun, ada juga org yg mempunyai impian yg intangible spt, sense of winning, self development, financial freedom, time freedom, etc.

Adalah senario yg biasa, seseorg mempunyai excitement yg tinggi pada peringkat awal pengterlibatan dalam sesuatu networking company. Pada masa ini, seseorang itu akan sgt senang menaja orang baru hanya dengan excitement. Ada downline saya yg boleh menaja 15 orang sebulan hanya dengan excitement. Beliau belum pun memahami lagi ttg produk, apetah lagi marketing plan, semuanya hanya excitement.

Excitement akan luntur beberapa ketika selepas seseorang itu berdepan dengan beberapa rejections (penolakan). Luntur kerana harapan untk tercapainya impian dirasakan semakin menurun. Harapan kabur. Beginners tidak tahu bahawa ini adalah keadaan biasa dan mereka perlu meneruskan usaha.

Satu tip yg saya boleh kongsikan utk meningkatkan tahap excitement adalah, kita mesti sentiasa melihat biz network marketing ini dari kaca mata org baru. Bila excitement kita telah menurun, kita kena lihat org baru yg sedang sangat excited. Tidak kiralah org itu donwline kita ataupun dari group org lain.

Harapan tercapainya impian adalah asas kejayaan biz networking. Excitement adalah pelincir kejayaan tersebut.

Are u excited?

Lifestyle impian

Semasa saya kecil dahulu, saya pernah mengimpikan satu lifestyle yg cukup hebat. Saya kira saya boleh mendapatkan lifestyle impian itu hanya dengan ijazah yang baik dan kerja di syarikat yang besar. Ternyata tidak sama sekali.

Saya bersyukur kerana peluang biz USANA menjanjikan lifestyle yg hebat dari segi kewangan, masa dan kesihatan. Apa yang penting adalah kita memulakan biz ini dengan impian yang besar. Impian inilah yg akan memberikan kita ketabahan mengharungi dugaan dalam biz networking.

Manusia secara amnya dimotivasi oleh 'fear' or 'hope/dreams'. Oleh kerana modal untuk membina biz USANA adalah sangat kecil, maka dengan itulah kita memerlukan impian/hope yg besar ketika kita memulakan biz USANA. Sekiranya kita tiada impian yang cukup besar, maka kita tidak akan bermotivasi utk membinanya. Bahkan kita merasakan 'nothing to lose' sekiranya kita berhenti membinanya.

Berbeza dengan 'Franchisers' McDonalds tidak memerlukan impian yg besar ketika hendak memulakan biz kerana mereka bermula dgn modal yg sangat besar menghampiri RM 2 juta. Jadi mereka termotivasi dengan 'risiko' (ketakutan) kehilangan modal tersebut.

Disini ada video yang saya suka menggambarkan lifestyle Jeremy, seorang pengusaha USANA yg masih muda tetapi telah mempunyai lifestyle yg hebat walaupun baru 7 tahun membina biz USANA. Enjoy the video:

Jutaan Terima Kasih Bro RH

Alhamdulillah, sekarang saya berada dlm keadaan yg sgt baik bersama biz USANA. Saya sgt bersyukur kerana saya tidak menyangka bahawa network marketing boleh memberikan org biasa spt saya income lima angka yg stabil. Saya masih bekerja membina USANA kerana antara impian terawal saya adalah pendapatan melebihi USD 300K seminggu. Dan saya yakin ini adalah sgt dekat dengan biz USANA.

Saya masih ingat lagi ketika saya mula2 diperkenalkan kpd biz network marketing oleh Bro RH (click link utk ke facebook beliau). Saya bukanlah seorang prospek yg senang dan baik. Bayangkan saya adalah seorang yg memperlekeh 'direct selling', lagak pandai, ego tinggi, baru balik dr luar negara, tp poket kosong. Bro RH tdk pernah putus asa dgn saya. Bayangkan kalo dia putus asa dgn ego kebudak-budakkan saya, sudah tentu saya sekarang penuh dgn stress di tempat kerja serta sentiasa menunggu-nunggu gaji atau bonus setiap hujung bulan.

(Gambar) Dari kiri, Bro RH and Bro ZMZ. Keduanya-duanya successful dan significant buat saya.

Success dan sigficant adalah dua benda yg berbeza. Orang yg success tidak semestinya org yg significant. Bro RH adalah org yg success dan significant buat saya. Sanggup singgah rumah saya ajak makan rojak mlm2, bersabar dgn kerenah ego saya, meminjamkan buku2 dan CD2 utk membuka minda saya, memberi semangat ketika saya down... sehingga saya berjaya dan blh berdikari.

Sesungguhnya, Bro RH berperanan dlm kejayaan saya sekarang dan akan datang. Hanya Allah dpt membalas budi beliau.

TERIMA KASIH BRO RH!

Leaders bonding

Pada 13/2/2010 yg lepas, Dr Z telah mengadakan makan2 di rumah beliau utk leaders di bawah organisasi beliau.

Inilah keistimewaan yang ada pada Dr Z di mana beliau sgt perihatin terhadap 'bonding' atau 'relationship' di antara beliau dan leaders. Perniagaan networking adalah 'relationship business'. Ini kerana hanya relationship yang tulus dan selalu dipupuk akan dpt menwujudkan kesetiaan ('loyalty') pada team yg ada. Leaders yg ada juga kenalah memberi kerjasama utk bonding ini berlaku.

Terdapat lebih dari 500 syarikat networking di Malaysia. Terdapat juga ramai org yg 'lompat' dari satu syarikat ke syarikat yg lain. Namun ada juga team yg sangat setia atau 'loyal' kepada satu-satu syarikat. Bezanya adalah sekerap mana 'bonding' atau 'relationship' dikalangan ahli dipupuk.

Maka benarlah kata-kata Collette Larsen, Top Income Earner USANA, "Usana business is a relationship business"

NDO 2/2010

It was a great NDO session that we had last Sunday. Kudos to the speakers who delivered some very, very good presentations in their own unique way. Tapi yang paling mencuit hati adalah Silver Director Reza with his hang lagi teruk dari mayat ka?

But the word that kept on coming up in most of the presentations was ACTION. And I think it is the most appropriate word especially now, when the most anticipated Usana momentum is here. No Action = No Business. As simple as that. Period.

And as usual, Dr Z was brilliant in closing the session. (Will all of us be brilliant like that when we are Emeralds? Definitely!) And having people to commit to their goals to become GOLD, oh wow! There will be lots of people going to Taipei this year, and I congratulate all of them in advance for it.

Here are some pictures from the NDO.

Zaid, Jemi and Kamal - all the way from JB



Our Emerald Director - Dr Z (noticed that he always wear shades these days, I wonder why..)



Reza - the ever cool & selamba guy..



Bakal-bakal Gold yang akan menjejakkan kaki ke Taipei tahun ini

Wow Now

Here's the book that I am reading now. It's a great book by Robert G. Allen. He is a millionaire and he is one of the big guys in Usana. But he was a millionaire first, and then he joined Usana. And because of that, I am reading this book.


One of the concepts that he talks about is Wow now. We have to visualize the kind of life that we would like to have, feel it, taste it, smell it, as if it is real.

Just close your eyes and imagine you are in your dream home. How does it look like? What color is the curtain? Are there any windows? How's the furniture look like? Can you smell the food that's cooking? Who are the people there in your house? How do you feel? I think you get the idea.. It has to be so real that you'd say WOW! You can do this any time - while commuting to the office, before going to bed, whenever. Just turn off all the noise (TV, radio, etc) and be with your dreams.

But don't think about how you'd get there, just focus on the end result. When we're sold out to our dreams, we'll manage the how.

I am currently visualizing a wonderful month-long vacation somewhere with my family, doing all sorts of things (which includes shopping of course!). And I am just going to say - WOW!

Produk USANA mengikat hati persahabatan

salam. semalam saya telefon seoarang associate saya yang merupakan anggota kumpulan Nasyid yang terkenal (lagunya tersenarai dlm top ten carta nasyid popular). Saya telefon kerana telah lama tak jumpa di program USANA lebih kurang dua bulan. In fact saya terpaksa telefon rakan office beliau utk cakap dgn beliau.

Pendekkan cerita, saya pun dpt jumpa dia, kidnap dia dari pejabat dan minum di warong mamak yg berdekatan. Saya pun bertanya khabar emak beliau. Ternyata keluarga beliau masih menggunakan produk USANA secara serious. Ini kerana, emaknya yg mengidap cancer payudara tahap tiga talah mendapat banyak kebaikan dari produk terbaik dunia ini. Kami juga berborak tentang pekembangan kumpulan nasyid beliau yang ternyata membuat beliau sangat sibuk. Apetah lagi ditambah dengan beberapa fitnah yg disiakan di Melodi TV3 baru2 ini.

Apa yg membuatkan saya terharu ialah, dia cakap "bang, emak hari tu suruh kirim salam kat abang. Abah pun ...". Tambahnya lagi "diaorang sangat2 happy dengan produk USANA dan terima kasih pada abang kerana jumpakan produk ni pada diaorang."

Dalam hati saya berkata, "aku ingat buat dulu niat nak bina biz usana ni kerana nak duit tambahan shj ...". Ternyata, Alhamdulillah, saya mendapat lebih dari itu. Dapat sahabat yg baik dan keluarganya juga bersahabat baik. Sahabat bukan kerana duit shj. Sahabat yg tidak hilang walaupun dah lama tak jumpa di program. Sahabat yg keluarganya juga selalu ingat pada kita.

Sebelum keluar masuk kereta utk hantar beliau balik pada petang itu, beliau cakap "jgn bimbang bang, saya akan kembali membina USANA. Saya BERDARAH USANA!". Terasa keikhlasan beliau dan aura keazaman beliau semasa mengatakan ayat di atas tadi.

Orang selalu tanya saya, "kenapa saya nak bina biz USANA ni?". Maka inilah antara jawapannya.
