<p style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Do you have the power to believe in your goals and dreams? &nbsp;You have the power to achieve anything.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Last&nbsp;Thursday&nbsp;April 22, 2010, I attended the monthly <a href="http://www.jeromecastaneda.com/persuasive-communication-the-art-of-moving-people-through-to-action" target="_blank">Personal Excellence and Growth Meetup</a>. &nbsp;It was fun and engaging experience as facilitated by the inspiring Patrick Yc Lim. &nbsp;We were given this questions and made us write down.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>1</strong>. <strong>What is Your Dream?</strong> an example is what lifestyle do you want to have/live when you retire? We were divided into groups and made us to share our dreams. When you share your dreams with another person it becomes a commitment. This will make you more accountable. <strong>The goals and dreams should be as specific as possible</strong>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2.</strong> <strong>Why is your Goals and Dreams important to you? </strong>You need to ask this question, Why? The more it is emotional to you the more likely you will motivate yourself to achieve your goals.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>3.</strong><strong>What could stop you from achieving your goals? </strong>There were lots of reasons and sometimes can be considered as excuses such as your job, friends, money, limiting beliefs, procrastination, health (sickness), out of focus. If you noticed these are mostly about oneself. So the old age saying by Socrates,<strong>&quot;Know Thyself&quot; </strong>is something that we have to start with. &nbsp;A great book reference is <strong><a href="http://cli.gs/thickfaceblackheart" target="_blank">Thick Face, Black Heart by Chin-Ning Chu</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">We need to keep on asking deep questions. Say, when you say no money, what do you really mean no money?what are the ways of finding money? Is there a way to do it? Do I know someone who can support my ideas? Are there venture capitalists or angel investors that can help? There was a suggestion of about asking Google for help regarding the common questions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>4.</strong> <strong>What will happen if you did not achieve your dreams? </strong>The key is to associate with some sort of emotion such as pain say if you did not achieve your goal of creating the Personal Development School for the children, they will suffer the consequence of ignorance or poverty.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The&nbsp;<strong>Master-Servant principle </strong>- &nbsp;the idea is the master determines the goals and dreams. The master orders the servant to do or carry out the activities.The servant also looks for other partners who can help him with his tasks.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another Principle is the&nbsp;<strong>Big Yellow Circle &#8211; </strong>the idea is to close your eyes and imagine yourself achieving your dreams and goals when you step inside the circle. The color intensifies by changing the color to orange as you become emotional with what you feel using all your senses. In my case, &nbsp;I imagine my self as a Dragon Ball Z character Goku turning into a Super Saiyan. If you don&#39;t know what I am talking here take a look at his picture above. I used to watch this&nbsp;Japanese&nbsp;anime back then. I remember doing this kind of exercise that I attended at <a href="http://www.jeromecastaneda.com/reminiscing-unleash-the-power-within-upw-2009-by-anthony-robbins" target="_blank">Unleash the Power Within Event</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://cli.gs/thickfaceblackheart" rel="lightbox[pics760]" target="_blank" title="Thick-Face-Black-Heart"><img alt="Thick Face Black Heart look inside Achieving Your Goals and Dreams  How To Overcome Barriers?" class="attachment wp-att-771 centered" height="150" src="http://www.jeromecastaneda.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Thick-Face-Black-Heart-look-inside.jpg" title="Thick Face Black Heart-checkout this book now!" width="150" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Some words of wisdom that can help to motivate were;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&quot;Success is Not What you Know &#8211; It is What You Do with What You Know&quot; &nbsp;The key here is your ability to take action.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&quot;Failure is not because you lack ideas or knowledge, It is because you lack courage.&quot;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Ask yourself this question, &quot;Are you afraid of the known or the unknown?&quot; You can make similar analogy in life as the level of your comfort zones. You have to embrace the challenges in life because it means that you are stepping out of your comfort zone. Be afraid of the known because it is where you are now, your comfort zone.

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">
<p style="text-align: justify;">I just attended the Singapore&#8217;s First Bloggers&#8217; Symposium at Singapore Management University, School of Accountancy, Level 2, Kong Si Auditorium. If it was not from my facebook friend, Richard Macalintal, I might not be able to attend this cool event.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The event started at 1:30pm with a welcome speech from Nuffnang then followed by a showcase of top 5 photographs for a Mini Photo Contest  with the theme about happiness. Geez, I wish I had some photos that I can share with you because my top choice was indeed a runaway winner. It was a cute little child holding and kissing a red balloon drenched over fountain of water. We had our little Tea Break at around 2:30 pm and at the same time voting for our favorite photo for the contest.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">At 3:15, we went to our choice of individual workshops from the 5 top bloggers. I went to TechieLobang by Joe Teh with 3 of my new pinoy cyber friends. By the way, I frequently heard about the word &#8220;lobang&#8221; from most of my singaporean friends. So for non-locals like me, this Malay term means &#8211; a hole but more popularly known as an opportunity in a business sense or money making.  Anyway, I did not learn that from the workshop. Joe showed us more on the techniques of taking photo shots especially through an endorsed Canon Powershot S90. Some of its cool features were dual anti-noise system which can take images at low light by minimizing the noise; large aperture to allow more light to get breathtaking shots; a control ring to precisely control zooms, exposure, focus and balance. He highly recommended to use wordpress and showed us some cool free themes that we can use.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So the future (its been happening already) of blogging is about showing pictures from whatever situation or niche you are in. Videos of course are very much recommended.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For me, the best part of the symposium was connecting to newfound friends from the cyber world.</p>

With this immersion, I wanted to share my live experience with <a href="http://bit.ly/datewdestiny2010" target="_blank"><strong>Anthony Robbins</strong> </a>last year.</p>
<p>I attended<strong> UPW</strong> at Singapore, Expo last September 4-7, 2009.  On that night, I managed to conquer my fears by firewalking. Oh I still have the blister mark on my foot that I got during that event. I must say that it was the biggest event for that year for me and perhaps the other years as well. <strong>UPW</strong> did not change myself but rather taught me to become the person that I deserved to be. It taught me about who I am, what I love, what I hate, what excites me, and what drives me. The more I become the person that I wanted to be the easier for me to achieve what I want and to be fulfilled.</p>
<p>I’m just going to pick some principles from the 4 day event that I have applied from my journey.</p>
<p>The 3 Pillars of an Extraordinary Life</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Get      laser-focused, make it clear and compelling</strong>. This first step is to clarify      the results that I desire in life. What is your definition of an      extraordinary quality of life? What do you need to take your life to the      next level? Without a clear and compelling vision of what you want today,      you won’t be able to find the target of lasting happiness. If you have the      courage to face the truth of where you are, you will discover the path to      where you want to be. In other words, you have to know your Why? What? Because      clarity is power. Your Energy flows where your focus goes.</li>
<li><strong>Get      the Best Tools/Map/Strategy/Coaching for Results. </strong>Once you’ve defined      your target, you need an effective and efficient game plan to hit it. In      order to close the “gap” between where you are and where you want to be,      you need a proven map, an effective mentor, and training to drive you to      take action. You must know somebody who is in the game because success      leaves clues. Remember ignorance is poverty and pain.<strong> </strong></li>
<li><strong>Get      into Action! Unlock and Unleash, Alignment and Integration = Power. </strong>Sometimes      tools are not enough, we need to unlock what’s blocking us and unleash the      power. Why is it sometimes we know what to do, we have great motives for      change, and yet we fail to follow through? Why we do what we do and how to      change it. By understanding our personal blueprint, how we create meaning      and emotion and what causes us to think, feel, and behave the way we do,      we can not only gain the answers to these questions, but learn how to      create lasting change and fulfilment.  We have to destroy limiting beliefs. We      have to do massive action to achieve success, to contribute and to      celebrate. <strong> </strong></li>
</ol>
<p>There are 2 skills to master for an extraordinary quality of life.</p>
<p>1. <strong>Science of Achievement </strong>or your ability to produce results; to take anything you envision and make it real.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Art of Fulfillment</strong> or your ability to feel happiness and joy in the process; to delight in the experience of life.</p>
<p>The secret to <strong>wealth </strong>and <strong>happiness </strong>is to become a team player. Happiness comes from progress. Progress shows in the form of <strong>growth</strong> and in the sense of <strong>contribution</strong>. Power moves to those who are truly committed to serve because life is more than you. Find a team of people that you love to work with.</p>
<p>Another area of philosophy that made impact to my life is through the <strong>12 Master Principles of a Vital Life: The Power of Pure Energy</strong>. This topic was discussed entirely during the last whole day.</p>
<p>The first 8 are called <strong>The Gifts</strong>;</p>
<ol>
<li>The      Power of <strong>Vital Breathing &amp; Lymphasizing</strong> – to breathe deeply and to      rebound vertically to cleanse your cells.</li>
<li>The      Power of <strong>Living Water and Live Foods</strong> –</li>
<li>The      Power of <strong>Essential Oils</strong> –</li>
<li>The      Power of <strong>Alkalinity – Go Green!</strong> – I already started to enjoy this process.</li>
<li>The      Power of <strong>Aerobic Energy</strong> –</li>
<li>The      Power of <strong>Maximum Nourishment </strong>–</li>
<li>The      Power of <strong>Structural Alignment and Maximum Strength</strong> –</li>
<li>The      Power of a <strong>Directed Mind and Heart</strong> –</li>
</ol>
<p>The last 4 are called the <strong>Poisons</strong>;</p>
<ol>
<li>The      Poison of <strong>Processed Fats</strong></li>
<li>The      Poison of <strong>Animal Flesh</strong></li>
<li>The      Poison of <strong>Dairy Products</strong></li>
<li>The      Poison of <strong>Acid Addictions</strong></li>
</ol>

<p>It will be my first time to attend <a href="http://www.jeromecastaneda.com/go/asia-internet-congress-2009.html" target="_blank">Asia Internet Congress</a> this coming October 30-November 1, 2009 at Suntec Convention Centre and I am already excited to learn from the successful online entrepreneurs. Well, actually I managed to attend for the first time an internet marketing seminar at <a href="http://www.jeromecastaneda.com/global-internet-seminar-d2" target="_blank">Global Internet Seminar</a> last June 2009 at the Expo.  You can check about my reviews about the event at <a href="http://www.jeromecastaneda.com/global-internet-seminar-d3" target="_blank">GIS</a>. Even though it was a pitch fest to market their programs, I still managed to learn new ideas there without swiping my credit card. There I was able to interact directly to  internet marketing gurus like Ewen Chia, Stephen Pierce, Adam Ginsberg,Greg Cesar, Tom Hua, Patric Chan and the other top guns of the online business. Don&#8217;t be intimidated or feel bad if these people will sell you their programs either through soft or hard selling. Put yourself into their shoes or any business person, I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ll need to sell yourself if you own a business. You need to promote your business so that it will spark an interest for people to buy. You will buy only if you see a value from your perspective. So this is actually a chance to network with other motivated people who are already successful in this business. Who knows we can create a joint venture business with each other or create a mastermind group to learn continuously since learning by yourself will be very much challenging.</p>
<p>Btw, this event will also be held at Wisma MCA, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia this 23-25th of October see more info at <a href="http://tinyurl.com/AsiaInternetCongressMY2009" target="_blank">Asia Internet Congress in Malaysia</a>. The event is hosted by Fabian Lim, a respectable top online entrepreneur.</p>
<p>PS</p>
<p>Before I forget, an ongoing early bird discount 40sgd or RM70 off the normal price is until October 15 only. Hope to see you and learn together at the event.

<p>How to Deal with Homesickness and Challenges as an Expatriate (Overseas Filipino Worker or OFW, in our local term)?</p>
<p>- Living a Life away from home and family.</p>
<p>It has been more than 2 years since I worked here in Singapore as a<a href="http://www.jeromecastaneda.com/success-story" target="_blank"> Mechanical CAD Engineer</a> for a Marine and Offshore Engineering/Consultancy firm. Working in a mixed diverse culture can be challenging especially when you’re 1,486 miles apart from the Philippines. It was really tough working in my first few months here as I have to deal with different personalities (egocentrics) being the only Filipino from an Indian dominated company.</p>
<p>In my first few months here in Singapore, I invested a lot of money from my long distance calls to the Philippines. After sometime, I managed to invest a laptop and a PC at home.  With the current technology of internet, my family is just a computer away through Skype or Instant Messenger.</p>
<p>Being alone can really be tough so here are some of my effective tips to keep you active;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Believe You Can Lah – You are the Best!</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>In my first few months, I received discouraging remarks from my senior colleagues about my poor drafting work. I was told that I was very slow and I must admit that I have challenges in 2D Drafting since I was hired there for my expertise in 3D modelling software (AutoCAD Inventor). My self-esteem was affected and lessened. These people can not even suggest how I can increase my speed and effectiveness when I asked them, so now I know where I stand. Here’s what I did, come closer so that you can hear me and so that you can apply this as well to your life if ever, I simply psyched myself up. Deep in my mind, I was shouting within myself that “I am the BEST and FASTEST “(repeatedly over and over again) while I was doing my 2D design detailing job. Well, it didn’t work right away but after sometime when I submitted my work for review, this guy told me, “You’re so fast huh”.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Simply Connect</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Days before my flight to Singapore, I simply get in touched with my friends, school mates so that they can help me in securing a place to stay. They are even generous to offer their place while am looking for my own place to stay. I managed to get a room for myself by joining some online forums. Google will always be there to help you connect.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Join Groups, Meetups, Seminars, Sports Activities – Connect More</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Even before I arrived here in Singapore, my friend already told me that he included me in their basketball line up for the coming basketball league. Joining <strong>sports activities</strong> will always be a good way to connect with different people as well as to keep you physically fit. Speaking of being physically fit, I managed to join a health fitness gym just in front of our office building.</p>
<p>My friend was the one who introduced me to join our University Alumni Organization (University of the Philippines Alumni Association of Singapore). This <strong>organization</strong> offered a lot of activities like seminars, sports, tambayans (a place for hanging out), and a lot of fun. I recommend you to check out your college/university alumni organization.</p>
<p>I would highly recommend that you join <strong>religious community</strong> in your area. Here you can share your personal challenges in life and you’re assured of trust and confidentiality. Most of all you’ll have a deeper relationship with God. In my case I joined, Couples for Christ – Foundation for Family and Life which I considered as a gasoline station for my soul and spirit.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.meetup.com/Personal-Excellence-and-Growth-Meetup-Group/" target="_blank">Meetups</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.jeromecastaneda.com/category/personal-development/seminar/" target="_blank">Seminars</a></strong> – one way of reinforcing your beliefs or if you want</p>
<p>To learn and grow is by attending seminars. This is how I develop myself which I will not find in my job.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong>Read Books a lot</strong> – in my case listening to audiobooks</span></li>
</ul>
<p>If there is one thing that I love about Singapore is the <a href="http://www.pl.sg/" target="_blank">public library</a>, my wealth of knowledge. <a href="http://www.pl.sg/" target="_blank">Public Libraries</a> are very accessible in every corner of Singapore. When I read their Vision and Mission, I was inspired that I can see the passion that it brings to Singapore; I’m sharing here their vision</p>
<p>&#8220;An inspiring beacon of  <strong>lifelong learning</strong>, bringing <strong>knowledge</strong> alive, sparking imagination and creating <strong>possibility</strong> for a vibrant and creative Singapore. Spurring the heights of <strong>imagination</strong> from the depths of our resources. This is our vision, our <a href="http://www.nlb.gov.sg/" target="_blank">NLB</a>&#8221;</p>
<p>I would love to hear from your experiences living away from your family as an expatriate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><p>Last night was another great night that you shouldn&#8217;t missed every end of the month on a Friday. Why, it was the second <strong><a href="http://www.meetup.com/Personal-Excellence-and-Growth-Meetup-Group/" target="_blank">&#8220;Personal Excellence and Growth Meetup&#8221;</a></strong> and the topic was <span style="color: #000080;">Stand Out from the Crowd! Learn to Create a Personal Brand! <span style="color: #000000;">I must say it&#8217;s getting better and bigger (more crowd and great food).</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #000000;">Personal Branding is something that is uniquely yours. It is something that helps people to remember You. What do you think if you hear the word, Trump? you&#8217;re right, skyscrapers, The Apprentice (You&#8217;re Fired!), and oops, his hair. What about Oprah? I believe everything she says will turn into gold, imagine her Book Club and other organizations. Her famous tag lines,  &#8221;You are responsible for your own life&#8221;, &#8220;Live Your Best Life&#8221;.  Think about the famous brands in the market, say Nike is equivalent to &#8220;Just Do It&#8221; . What about when you hear &#8220;It keeps going, and going, and going&#8230;&#8221; yes, you&#8217;re right its our neighbor who kept on yelling non-stop at her husband for whatever reason. OK, it was Energizer Batteries. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #000000;">There must be a purpose for those slogans or names. Personal branding can only happen if you have a <strong>Purpose</strong>. What do you really want for Your life? What don&#8217;t You want in you life? What have You settled for?</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #000000;">You need to define your <strong>USP</strong><strong> </strong>or <strong>Unique Selling Proposition</strong>. What will make your customers buy from You (ideas) instead from others. In order for you to understand your USP, you need to know 1.) Your Strengths 2.) Your Skills 3.) Your Values 4.) Your Passions.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="color: #000000;">You need to <strong>Reinvent</strong> Yourself. It means that you must unlearn (things that will not help you grow), learn (that will help you grow) and relearn (making a habit of continuous growing). Ask yourself, what&#8217;s missing with this picture?  Here&#8217;s a very nice quote from one of my favorite (invisible) guru  Zig Ziglar, &#8221; Go as Far as You can See and when You get There, You will always be able to See Farther.&#8221;  Reinvention is about maximizing your Assets (strengths) and camouflaging your Liabilities (weaknesses). Be aware of how You are communicating with Yourself. Talk to yourself in front of the mirror and say &#8220;I&#8217;m the Best&#8221; as often as you want and feel what you&#8217;ve said. </span></span></p>
<p>Bringing <strong>Passion</strong> into the pursuit of Your dreams is critical if You are to dream Big and achieve those dreams.  Please refer to my previous post for more information, <a href="http://www.jeromecastaneda.com/finding-passion" target="_self">Finding Your Passion!</a> Furthermore, you can ask some questions;</p>
<ul>
<li>What do I love to Do? &#8211;  look for elements in your Job that you feel good, it could be Your friends, relationships or anything.</li>
<li>What do I enjoy Doing?</li>
<li>What gives me an adrenaline rush?</li>
<li>What do I feel proud of?</li>
</ul>
<p>Here&#8217;s another great way to psyche up yourself, You need to <strong>Look Good and Feel Great</strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">.</span> The greatest risk to a reputation is his/her  failure to factor image into his/her success in business or career. Here&#8217;s a circle of Success Cycle, if you Feel Great then you will Look Good. If You Look Good then You will Project Well. If you Project Well then You will have a Positive Response and when you respond positively then you will Feel Great (back to the start, see the cycle).</p>
<p>There is never a second chance to your Signature Look. Here are some tips to work on your signature look;</p>
<ul>
<li>Capitalise on your Assets &#8211; these could be your physical, your pearly white smile, your eyes, your nose, your gorgeous body</li>
<li>Dress to suit your Body Shape</li>
<li>Go for your Colors &#8211; enhancing your instant switch (power on) to your Glowingness</li>
<li>You need to understand your Dress Style</li>
<li>Dress to suit your environment or audience &#8211; you can dress a level up from your environment without being overdressed.</li>
</ul>
<p>For me, most of the times, my wife made good recommendations for the clothes that I wear and did get some good compliments from colleagues in the office. So better include your wife or girlfriend whenever you want to select the dress style you want and be sure to you are comfortable wearing it.</p>
<p><strong>Excite Others</strong> by developing a WOW statement or signature will get others to say WOW. A signature wow is a personal style that you did with a special touch.  To guide you ask yourself;</p>
<ol>
<li> What am I known for?</li>
<li>What do I want to stand for?</li>
<li>Am I making a difference?</li>
</ol>
<p>The sacred trinity for a Brand&#8217;s Success is <strong> </strong><strong>1. Clarity 2. Consistency and 3. Authenticity</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Does the message that you want to send to your target audience or public at large have clarity?</li>
<li>Are you consistent in the image you project to others?</li>
<li>How authentic are you? Are you true to Yourself?</li>
</ul>
<p>Lastly, <strong>Tell the World</strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">!</span> Position and Promote Yourself. Be visible.</p>
<p>My take on this is, <span style="color: #333333; ">Just Be Yourself at Your own Very Best All the Time.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><p>I had a great time last night at our<span style="color: #000000;"> </span><span id="bannerGroupName" style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;"><a style="display: inline; background-image: none; cursor: pointer; height: auto; text-decoration: none;" href="http://www.meetup.com/Personal-Excellence-and-Growth-Meetup-Group/"><span style="color: #000000;">Personal Excellence and Growth Meetup</span></a> by Mr. Patrick Lim and Ms. Jessica See. The topic of our discussion was &#8220;When Dream and Passion collide Success is inevitable&#8221;.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;">Just to share some bits from what I&#8217;ve learned about finding your passion. Passion is something that fuels your purpose, why you are here in this world. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;">Passion is something you</span></span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;">-  love to do</span></span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;">-  enjoy doing it</span></span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;">- feel strongly about it</span></span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;">- are drawn to it ( attracts)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;">- feel good doing it</span></span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;">- like to talk about it ( again and again)</span></span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;">- feel excited about it</span></span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;">- want to keep doing it</span></span></p>
<p><span style="display: inline;"><span style="color: #000000;">- can show expression</span></span></p>
<p>from my own experience, it is something that I kept on thinking about it even when am asleep or at work, I spend a lot of time and energy on it,  i write about it (now you know why I have a blog).</p>
<p>So what about you?  Share me your Passion.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop --><p>Just like <a href="../gis-d2" target="_blank">day 2</a>, the last day was as exciting and a great learning experience. I missed the opening sharing of the CEO of Success Resources, Mr. Richard Tan but nevertheless still got a good seat in the second row. Thanks to my friend Joy Ongkiko for reserving seats for us with Je Malata who came later.</p>
<p>The first marketer was <strong>Adam Ginsberg</strong>, the only guru on eBay for the whole event. He presented on how to buy, sell and profit on the internet thru eBay. He came up with some cool software (beta) that is very simple, step by step through an audience who volunteered on stage. Wow, $100 was awarded to the volunteer just by following Adam&#8217;s instruction on what to key in, not bad huh. It was actually my first time to learn about the ins and outs of eBay since I have no experience.  He&#8217;ll be back on August 21-23 for the eBay boot camp here in Singapore.</p>
<p>Next speaker was <strong>Stephen Pierce. </strong>The first half of his talk was more on inspirational, motivational stuffs about his experiences from nothing. In his rare bad experience, he told us that he got hit by a bullet in his knees due to his involvement with a gang fight. That was the turning point of his life and worked his way up to where he is now as one of the top internet marketers in the world.</p>
<p>According to him, there are 8 characteristics of the perfect internet money making opportunities for you;</p>
<ol>
<li>has rabid market of buyers</li>
<li>system finds, gets, keeps and grows customers for you</li>
<li>has multiple products deep sales funnel</li>
<li>allows you to make +$1000 per sale</li>
<li>pays you on other peoples marketing (affiliates)</li>
<li>allows you to earn 24/7 (as money never sleeps)</li>
<li>stuffs monthly residual cash into your bank account</li>
<li>allows you to focus on one thing</li>
</ol>
<p><em>&#8220;Internet does not require your permission but it requires your participation.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>On the last half of his talk he showed step by step hands on how to create a blogspot and used this as an affiliate campaign for Amazon (sort of your landing page for a particular product).</p>
<p>Steps to create an internet income were as follows;</p>
<ol>
<li>Create it (your website)</li>
<li>Ping it (pingler.com)</li>
<li>Social bookmark it</li>
<li>Directories RSS, twitter</li>
<li>Build of links</li>
</ol>
<p>You need to sell what people buy and only sell to the buyers.</p>
<p>Hot tip: search on Amazon on bestsellers.</p>
<p>Next marketer was an upcoming 28 y.o. guy from <strong>Vince Tan</strong> who took his parents together with him (seated in the front row just in front of us). My friend was struck by this guy, she couldn&#8217;t imagined how it was to be mentored by him. She told me that she will just stare at him all day.hahaha. Imagination.</p>
<p>Vince  started showing his success accomplishments.  His first was the product Adsense Black Hat Edition which generated him SGD 14,500. His next hit was a great idea that they created while they were on an MRT about their sendUsTo.US campaign with their goal of being able to attend Mike Filsaime seminar which generated them a 100K SGD (not bad huh). And successes after success like BiggestFireSaledotCom, MegaRedPacketdotCom.</p>
<p>He shared his 3 Fundamental concepts which were;</p>
<p>1.) Triple W – win, win, and win</p>
<p>2.)  Massiveness (packaging, instant products + Double Quattro)</p>
<p>3.) Guru Mind Control (Joint Venture/Network) – here he showed how he used skills on communications by being the Master, The Force, The Negotiator and The Joker.</p>
<p>From these concepts he showed case studies about the products I mentioned above one by one.</p>
<p>Lastly, I think it was the best quote I heard from him, <em>“Internet Marketing is not Rocket Science but it’s enough Science to Rocket your Income”.</em> Wow!</p>
<p>The last speaker was <strong>Greg Cesar</strong> (every time I listened to him,  he reminds me of Eddie Murphy). He’s a very down to earth guy who will stop his talk  just for a pose if someone’s taking a photo shot.  He’s just funny. By the way,  I got his business card which he managed to give after the talk.</p>
<p>Kidding aside, he’s the Google Adwords guru that will teach you to get qualified traffic with less money to spend. He knows what it takes to make your site sell.</p>
<p>I love quotes so here’s another one that I take note of <em>“The Quality of your Life will be based on the Quality of your Questions”.</em></p>
<p>So why Adwords because of traffic, control, fast, instant and easier.</p>
<p>Here are some Mindset Marketing Questions;</p>
<p>- Who are they?</p>
<p>- What are they looking for?</p>
<p>- Where are they getting it?</p>
<p>- Why do they want it?</p>
<p>- When do they need it?</p>
<p>There are lots of stuffs that I didn’t  include here since I’m still deciphering my notes but if you’re looking for instant traffic at less bids for Adwords Campaign.  Greg Cesar is the guy.</p>
<p>In the end, the event was very successful as what Success Resources have been always known for. I’m sure everyone learned a lot and gained new friends as well as I did.</p>
