Fabian Lim’s Real Internet Secrets Singapore Workshop – on being a Mentor
Real Internet Secrets Workshop (RIS) is a two and half day intensive internet marketing training by Fabian Lim. This is normally held at Singapore Management University (SMU). The program used to be called the Internet Marketing Bootcamp where I was part of the last batch in March 2009. The last RIS Singapore event (by the way, there is also a RIS Malaysia) was held as usual at SMU last March 26-28, 2010. This time I was one of the mentors of the class for the third time. Our role is to assist the students in any difficulties that they may encounter which were normally related to technical challenges.

The great thing also of being a mentor is you had a chance to experience a fine dining with co-mentors and Fabian Lim at Hyatt Hotel’s Restaurant.

Do You Have What It Takes To Be Number One?
These past few days I was very inspired and blessed for the great results that I achieved. The kind of results that was once a dream. I’m referring to ranking way up to the top of Google search result page rank for selected keywords in just over three days. It is a skill that can be learned and developed through search engine optimization.
But what really inspired me the most and made me a very proud father was my son, Justin Daniel Castaneda‘s 3 medal awards. He received medals during their recognition day held at Guadalupe Seminary. For the second time, he was the first honor for Kidzone Learning School of Maysilo Plainview, Mandaluyong City.
It was also by accident that I managed to borrow audiobooks, What It Takes to Be #1 : Vince Lombardi on Leadership and Rich Like Them: My Door-To-Door Search for the Secrets of Wealth in America’s Richest Neighborhoods from the National Library Singapore.
So what it really takes to be number 1?
First, above all things else are my humble praises, worship and prayers to Almighty God for all the blessings that I have presently. I always make sure to give thanks for the blessings and the future.
Second, looking back about how I managed to get on top of Google rankings, I spend my time with mentors or coaches who are themselves number one in their respective fields of expertise. I must say that hanging around with winners is a very big factor in achieving whatever you want to be in life.
Third, I must say that my hungry pursuit in personal development played an important key to become number 1. You see, if I improve myself ten times more imagine how much improvement will it give to my family and friends. It is the character that will make a difference as I communicate and interact with different people. I have to be very careful with the words that I share with my friends, it can either break me or inspire them to become better. Attitude is indeed everything. I am still very consistent to say ” I Love You” to my wife and my son.
Dominate Google Search Results Page Rank – in just 3 days?
Search Engine Optimization skills building continues to amaze me with surprising results. Last Monday march 15 after just 3 days of posting my blog about making extra money online, I skyrocketed my way on top of Google search engine. It was a very cool feeling to achieve such a feat yet inspired me to even improve my skills better.
As I mentioned in the video, I didn’t learn this from my own since it will take me a very long time to understand the technicalities and the strategies behind SEO. What I did was to follow and learn not only from the experts but who were the best in the fields of Search Engine Marketing. My mentors in this field were Fabian Lim and Simon Leung who are both world class in their own fields of endeavor. You see we went to college or university to pursue our career either as an engineer, lawyer, doctor, accountant, or any related fields of expertise to achieve our current jobs. Yes I am still very much working on a job. But what I’m sharing is if you want to pursue a business in internet marketing or any kind of business you must be willing to learn from the experts by investing in business coaches.
I must say having great mentors was indeed a very big factor. But, I tell you that there’s another thing that you must have in order to get the desired results, that is your ability to act and implement what you’ve learned. Persistence and continuous implementation of strategies were very crucial in your success. I have witnessed a lot of friends who were my classmates who did not make any desired results for whatever excuses they can tell. I was busy with my work. I was attending to my children. These sad excuses seemed to drive them and pursue other things that they find as an opportunity to make a quick buck. It was after all the motivation to make money easily that was their first intention. That was very lame. I must say work very hard on yourself first then add value to people’s lives should be our main intention.

Thank You 2009 and An Exciting 2010 Goals!
WOW! 2009 will be my most memorable year! It was the year where I learned to develop my skills in internet marketing. My objective at that time was to learn how I can generate more leads to my network marketing business through pay per click. I learned more than what I expected and the thought of passive residual income while you sleep is such an inevitable and powerful tool. Internet marketing is such a lonely business if you do it by yourself so I highly recommend that you find a mentor just like when you enroll to get a college degree. I developed my skills in the field of search engine marketing – both in search engine optimization and Google adwords. It was my first time to buy a domain name for jeromecastaneda.com and learned to use this powerful blog resource of WordPress. Actually, I managed to rank on the first page for some keywords about my blog. Woohoo! I was able to dominate almost all the sites on the first page for my name Jerome Castaneda and hope to totally dominate it next year 2010. Indeed, wordpress is the king!
I had the chance to attend Tony Robbins Unleashed the Power Within 4 day’s seminar at the Singapore Expo. In those 4 days I had the chance to shape my destiny in my thoughts and managed to do a firewalker on burning coals. It was also in this event that I truly take care about my health especially the food that I ate. I just developed the love for green stuffs, vegetables and fruits. Wow, it was truly an awesome time to remember.
It was the year where I regularly attended a Personal Excellence and Growth Meetup with great life coaches, Mr. Patrick Lim and Ms. Jessica See. I’ve met like minded people and exchanged life experiences and philosophies to grow and become the person that I want to be. There were 2 things that I learned if you want to succeed or grow in life, 1. the people you know or associate with and 2. the books that you’ve read.
2009 was the year I started to grow my spiritual relationship with the Lord God through CFC-FFL Singapore (Couples for Christ – Foundation for Family and Life) as a member for the Servants of the Lord (SOLD) group. Here I got the chance to meet God filled spirited people where there’s no inhibitions about telling your personal challenges in life. Here we prayed for each one’s personal success, family and health miracles. I highly suggest to any individual to join a spiritual or religious group especially if you’re working away from your family just like me.
Now, some people (especially with hardcore employee mindsets) may ask me why on earth should I spend much time learning stuffs that is outside of my job skills as a Mechanical Engineer. My answer is very simple my friend, I have Big Dreams. I am taking Jim Rohn’s advise to work hard on myself than what I do on my job. Personal development builds up my character and my attitude at work. I have the power of concentration and the focus to become a very productive engineer not only at work but with my relationship and communication with my colleagues.
As I looked forward about my 2010 goals, I am very excited about the potential person I can become. Year 2010 will be the start of my 10 year master plan. I’ll continue the commitment of my never ending personal development blog, to become the best father to my son and a loving husband to my wife. I’ll continue to read or listen to books or audiobooks, to meet like minded individuals in personal development and internet marketing fields. I’ll continue to work and apply my skills in internet marketing, to help local businesses generate more sales to their business. I’ll continue to take care of my health by having a regular exercise and watch out on the food that I take. Most of all, I’ll continue to praise and worship God for all the blessings and for the person I become.
