Why people Fail? Coz they stopped learning, and trying


From Clint's training yesterday about having a story. Working today and looking back and say it's all worth it, taking your Herbalife shake not just for the sake of taking it, but to get results. #reflection

My Story: Started from an Oily faced college graduate student. 

Looking back the 5 years journey... it's only by divine intervention and a lot of hope, faith, courage in the midst of fear.... and lot of personal development by teachers from when I was a child till now.... It's the tough teachers that make you grow... The only reason you see successful individuals and get inspired it's because of what they went through, not necessarily by material things. 

It's the hardship, the rejections, the believing in yourself before anyone else did, that mould someone. 

Bagaimana acuannya, begitulah kuihnya? Betul? So make sure acuan betul ya...  

There's no easy way, like Mark Hughes always said, we can give you all the tablets, and shakes and flyers.. but you're going to be the one to make the shake, swallow the tablets... and give out the flyers. 

You got to have the BEST ATTITUDE first, then results come. If you don't take the program correctly can you get results? Er... So, if you don't learn well, you don't do well... Learning, capture the right things.... 

I truly believe that. It's just the first steps, now stepping into my quarter life in a couple of months. 
"Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprint. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming" - Jim Rohn

#reponsibility #owningyourlife #takecharge



And some BEST things in life are not all monetary. It's in the moments.


Having friends while learning from them. Ibu Dame is a degree holder of chinese studies from Indonesia. She's an example of leadership to many women. Her own sister, who was a maternity nurse (bidan), is also a President's Team in Herbalife. This is from Herbalife Family Foundation dinner, this dinner costed RM1000 per pax, proceeds to the Casa Herbalife children around 89 countries. 

Have dinner with the millionaires, amazing night that raised over USD 1 million with bidding.. It was the energy we got from the amazing humble and generous people we met.. Just a humbling experience...

And we shall see her at Bootcamp, have you gotten your tickets yet for 24-25 August 2013??


You get time in business, and with your family (make sure you always include them in your activities)
Just counting the years you have with your loved ones, there's not much left really. Make time... Even though sometimes you can't stand each other (lol) mother-daughter on the way to Bangkok


A picture with my cousin in Melbourne, Herbalife paid vacation... You know the expression, the world is your oyster? Pun not intended. ;) Always a dream to hang out at Docklands, Melbourne (the way i've always imagined it in the Mills and Boons novels, haha) Well, mental checklist (ticked) 

This is what we do. Changing nutritional habits in the community...


At the market, roadshow... a teacher who decided to get started for her health, and her family of 8... Do your part..... 




May not be as glamorous, but hey, this is what we do service to the community...service to many..
Some will, some won't, no problem, the next one will.... 



It doesn't matter how crazy you may seem right now.... If you type failure in google search, you may see alot of names, J K Rowling who got rejected by several publishers and became one of the richest authors because of Harry Potter, Walt Disney was "not creative" but won the hearts of the entire world now.... the many successful names now, has once or many time failed. but they never stopped trying... 

Winners are called winners because they never stopped. They try again again and again and again... 

QUESTION IS HOW??

It's not said enough..... 

The BIGGER the WHY, the EASIER the HOW! Jim Rohn....

If you can list WHY you want to be Successful VS WHY you cannot be Successful? I suggest you do the first list.... We are not born, labeled as failures, or shy, or NOT going to be successful, or ordinary person.... Equal opportunity for everyone to achieve what the heart's desire.. Life provides everything you want if you have two things....goals, willingness to learn and do and desire. Be sure to balance it alot with Personal Development, Jim Rohn always said, Work Harder on yourself that you do on your job. We can always be better... a better person, a better daughter/son/mother/father/wife/husband....

Work in Progress #WIP

Yesterday we were having a little fellowship with a colleague after a meeting. He has been doing Herbalife for the past 7 years. A humble person, loving husband, a man of God, and everything nice you find in a person. The best part about being in this field, you meet different kinds of people, personalities, character, and the reason why they're in Herbalife. Staying in business for long term, and it's interesting how you find similarities, because I'm sure birds of the same feathers flock together, maybe in different types of personalities and background, but you know how we see our reflection in the mirror sometimes?

Anyway he was sharing how they could fly to Europe for a few weeks to make a dream wedding happen for their niece, whose mum is a single mum. If you have financial and TIME freedom, those are priceless moments. :) 

Nobody is perfect, everybody is struggling in keeping the balance of being a wholesome person. Physical, spiritual, family... I recalled back what Bea Bos, Chairman's Club said in the Macau World Team School in 2012, we're all WORK IN PROGRESS. 


Yea, I think whether as a person in life, in career, family, relationships, herbalife customer or moreso herbalife distributors, you find yourself doing the above. I've been in many situations like that where I may felt I couldn't balance it all, or may be still trying to do that now. So take your first step starting today... 

Jim Rohn said, Start from where you are and with what you have. If you're broke, start broke, if you're sick, start there.... Where you start is not where you'll end up to be if you make that decision to make some changes in your philosophies and life. 


My dad, the one that's always right, even when you hate to admit it, "If you cannot take the first step, you won't take the next (2nd) step" True. So, let's take the immediate next step. Wanna lose 10kg, take first step to lose the first 2kg! Wanna have a better future? Go Extravaganza Bangkok! 

 Tickets are apparently sold out, but good news it extended till today (29th April) 5pm! So, get to your coach, to get your ticket. I cannot say enough, to say how Extravaganza has changed my life to see the future that I could designed. It was 4 years back. I'm thankful. I truly am grateful that I took the leap of faith to go see something I knew nothing of. It was not an easy decision, but I believed that  I could find an answer and I did. :)


Jim Rohn said in his Exceptional Living tape, WHY NOT YOU? Eating at those neat sidewalk cafes in Paris? (pic above). I sat in my office cubicle listened to Jim Rohn tapes during lunch time imagining myself in Paris believe it or not. And it happened. 

Disclaimer: Herbalife actually modelled the best parts of Paris (moulin rouge, metropolitan, sidewalk cafes)  inside the finale party during Summit! How cool? It was too cold anyways to be sitting on the sidewalk cafes in Paris, so Herbalife made it happened for us! 

Herbalife for Life. Gen H! :D :D 

And a little trip I took on my own in Amalfi, because I found it in the map while planning a quick getaway before Paris. It was a great soul searching trip, that I think only made possible because I chose to see what Herbalife could offer or was it for me? Helping people to achieve what they want in health and wealth, and going for my dreams too! 


If you're already a distributor, find your coach now to get your ticket. If you're not and interested to look into how to design the life that you want by losing some extra weight or making part time income, contact me at 0125302682, Felicia or uptownlife234@gmail.com :)

31st December 2012

It's time of the year to look back at what you've done the past 364 days, mostly with full of gratitude, reflect a little on it, self- evaluate from 1-10 your performance on 2012. Turning 24 just 11 days ago, does make me a little wise, I hope. 

Did I set a goal? Made a plan? Get to work, stick to it, and reached my goals... Let's scroll! :) 






Working events to events: We started the year with February Spectacular 2012, 33 of our team went, and started on a rough journey, it was the beginning of throwing out the weeds and planting new seeds, and nurturing a team. Then we had 50 people in Extravaganza Singapore in May. Then a little more than 12 of us at Herbalife University in Macau in September. 


Also, my first Indonesian Spectacular in January, met new friends and visited new clubs in Jakarta. It was my first time riding the "Angkot" (common transportation)... 



Personal moments: Doing a small part in the HFF Dinner in Macau- a sight to behold, generous millionaires (amazing leadership) giving out money for charity really was an eye opener (We raised over USD1 Million in 3 hours!

 Representing Malaysia and Gen H for Future Millionaire Team Retreat in Macau, hosting for Chairman's Club Michael Palmsteirna Hamilton in Penang, 10km Star Walk and finished 6th place with a medal, and a photo with the Korean leadership. All of them gave a new the meaning to NEVER GIVING UP and Unity! 




Travels 2012: I can't tell you enough how much I treasure travelling, I just dislike packing, but travel and seeing the world is just awesome. Riding the transformer ride in Singapore, thumbs up at Stonehenge, take the Eurostar from Paris-London, visit the Sacre Couer, Montmatre-beautiful view of Pairs, thumbs up again at the Thames and Big Ben, and having dinner at Chartier, having a cool French waiter like Jessie and eating escargot! 

Jim Rohn said this, "Why not you soaking up history in London, or having lunch in those neat sidewalk cafe in Paris, one day gaze directly at the MonaLisa?" 

And I did. I still need someone to pinch me. :) #amillionthankyous will not be adequate. 


Harry Potter geek: Most of us grew up with Harry Potter and when I planned my trip to London, the studio just had opened a couple months, so I'm super lucky and the best 12 pounds I spent taking the photo of me riding the broomstick! Butter beer tasted like root beer, but we spent a good 3 hours at the Warner Bros' studio oogling at all the HP props.

So it's goodbye 2012. You have been so kind. And so adventurous, all the hardships, and tears, sweat and blood paid off. And best part is, I'm just getting started. 

I'm embracing 2013 with a Spectacular plan! And I know adventure awaits, and I pray for more wisdom, patience, and discipline to take on the next year. 

The best decision I've made since 2009 or in 2012, is constantly asking myself this questions:

Who am I around?
What are these associations doing to me?
Is that ok? Positive/negative? Good/Bad? 

One of the best stories I hold on and pass it on.... 

Perhaps you've heard the story of the little bird. He had his wing over his eye and he was crying.

The owl said to the bird, "You are crying."

"Yes," said the little bird, and he pulled his wing away from his eye.

"Oh, I see," said the owl. "You're crying because the big bird pecked out your eye."

And the little bird said, "No, I'm not crying because the big bird pecked out my eye. I'm crying because I let him."

It's easy to let influence shape our lives, to let associations determine our direction, to let pressures overwhelm us, and to let tides take us. The big question is: Are we letting ourselves become what we wish to become?


Recently there is this career/edu ad that came out, "What success means to you?"

People answered: Happiness, balance career and family, money, education...

For me success is simple, may be summarized in a few quotes

1) Be grateful of what you have while in pursuit of finer things in life. 
2) The greatest value is not what we acquire, the greatest value in life is what we've become
3) Friedrich Nietzsche said: “He who has a Why to live for, can bear almost any How.”

    Jim Rohn said: “If the WHY is big enough the HOW becomes easy.



So Farewell 2012! I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy new year! May you continue to have passion in whatever you do! Also for those whom I've crossed paths with, thank you for your friendship.... I pray for everybody to be wiser, stronger and better in 2013! 

And first of order of success: is showing up! Let's be a Now person, not next time, tomorrow... ;) 
See you in Spectacular 2013! Live to be inspired and to inspire!

What if you're 50 and broke?


Everybody needs a mentor, just like Jim Rohn did when his mentor, Earl Shoaff asked him, 

How much money you saved and invested the last six years? 

and most of us silently asking and answer ourselves this question, " zero" "not much" or uh... "I didn't save any"

Yes admit it, we have messed up! Who sold you on that plan? What if you were 50 and broke? Better know now, than when it's too late to do anything?

How many books have you read the last 90 days? Wisdom of the world available to you... and we did not read? You have messed up! How many classes have you taken in the last 6 months to improve your skills? We didn't? We messed up! 


Take a measure of how we're doing with our philosophy, attitude, activities and then results-end of the day, end of the week. We can't let time go by without checking...


RESULTS reflects everything. The truth. About our Philosophy, Attitude, Activities. Powerful wisdom. Willing to face the numbers, and looking at the results, Good? Celebrate! Not so Good? Fix it!

Things we learn from a movie, or a song... About dreams and fears

Today I want talk about Dreams. Sometimes when you hear, You've got to dream, think BIG! and some, really, most of us don't even know where to start or even have a fear of it. We think less of ourselves, we don't think we deserve to live our dreams (voices: What about all the children without food in Africa when you treat yourself to a $2000 dollars handbag) Yes, that voice too... Any kind of thoughts that don't support us, and we feel Terrified. Dreams, and then terrified, and then doubt and then the whole process go on and on and on for years, that's why people don't change or afraid to anything different in their lives. 

I do take my hat off to individuals who have had the same routine for the past 30 years and stays happy, but when you sit down alone, and reflect, Can we have something more? Is it possible? Like this new quote I love, "I don't need easy, I just need possible" Would you have tried more than once to change or do something different if given a chance, platform , opportunity to do so? Who knows. My mum has been at her job for 30 years, and I really salute her, and because I know her personally, she does enjoy her work, and in fact very good at what she does. I don't think someone like her would regret, but it's what she does in her next 50 years in life, don't you think? Where she want to be? What she wants to do? Contribute back? Or her dreams she has kept, and best part if she could live it through her children? 

If I have to two message for people my age and parents. Below would be it.

 I'm thankful that I chose a less travelled road, followed my dreams, found another calling along the way. I'm thankful my parents gave me a chance although it wasn't easy to make them understand in the beginning. But they were my pillars when others look at me in disbelief. I thank people who are sceptic, because you're my fuel and motivation to do better in life. 

For Young Adults: Live your dream. Even if you make mistakes. Even if you live the pain of discipline. It's better then living the pain of regrets when you're 65 and look back in your life and go "There's so many things I couldn't do!'

For Parents: Let your children find their dream and live it. Even if they make mistakes, feel bad about it, come back to you, and all you can do is tell them, "Stand right back. You'll be alright!" 


I love movies. Just recently watched Tangled (A Rapunzel movie which I taught would be something like a normal Disney Hero saves girl movie) But it's more than that, it's about dreams, and fears and can be summed in the quote from the movie as below: 




Rapunzel: I've been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?
Flynn Rider: It will be.
Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?
Flynn Rider: Well,that's the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream.

It's so powerful. Yes, what if what you're doing now and going after now, is something that is below your expectations? And so what if it really is what you dream of? What do you do... BEST PART: You get to go find a new dream! :) Wow... 

In terms of business and coaching that I do now, I find some people amusing really. What do they want? What do they don't want? Do they even know they live in the present? Or just because something didn't happen to them, they're caught in a limbo of fantasy, the life that they always wanted, living in the illusion is okay? Call it submission to parents wishes, peer pressure, how the society view what's normal and what's not....


I just pray everyday for better strength and wisdom, to be able to see through my emotions, and distractions, and stay focus on living life at present. Being thankful what I have today, and in pursuit of finer things in life. :) 

And may I suggest, to start writing down, in images if possible what you want in life. What you focus on increases. Not everything is money, but a lot of things is less worry if you have enough to have and to give. Health, Wealth, and everything in balance. 


This is from the Founder Circle, Kims of Herbalife Korea, steps of life and leadership which I'll probably dedicate another post on it. :) 



 And for anybody in life, or Herbalife team, always remember to give your best. Don't quit till you got nothing left! Decide to join us in Spectacular 2013.

#Gratitude






1) Complaints.
2) Things are not going well.
3) It's a great momentum but you feel left out.
















Simple, but what is simple, is also profound.

Chairman's Club is a position in the Herbalife, that is being created for individuals that has lived the Herbalife way, breathe, and duplicated to others. Most has been in the business for 15 years or more. We have about 50 of them. And I recommend everybody to read, to learn and grab every opportunity to be near a leader.

This is something I learned from Chairman's Club Queenie Leung is Self Leadership and Managing Your State.

Embrace your emotions. From Chairman's Club Stephan Gratziani and recalled by Chairman's Club Bea Bos, stay in your prime.

Use the products. Wear the button. Talk to People. Work twice as hard, triple if times are hard or just getting started. Don't worry, be in peace with yourself. Do the basics. Persistency and Consistency.

3 years ago, back in 2009, I was a new person in Herbalife, and I had a lot of questions, I was curious enough to find out, and blessed to learn with so many leaders from all over the world. I demanded myself to qualify for events to learn from the best. In the eyes of many, I spent more than I earned, but I knew I was investing in my future. It did paid off, the more basic things you do, the more trainings and events you go to, you're strengthening your core. When times are challenging, you stay strong in foundation.

Methods come and go, it revolves, people you meet they come and some left, Those who stay with you grow together with you, and the reward of seeing people grow from nothing, to something, really gives you something that money cannot buy. We're just getting started, my sponsor and coach always said that. I had that rebel attitude, in my mind, "So much money, is it not enough?" Of course, the one making the money wasn't me, so obviously that came from my bad attitude at the time.

It's a different story now. Jim Rohn always said "Success is not attracted, not pursued. It's through the person you become,". And in Herbalife it's very true.  Nobody really earns a good cheque and growing and has bad attitude, you see none. Different personalities, yes. But all of them have one common factor, a lot of GRATITUDE.

If you find yourself having a lack of abundance, or not growing in business, check your gratitude list. Are you saying thank you enough? Do you feel appreciation for the things and the opportunities given to you? Are you thankful to have challenges?

I'm not saying we don't get stuck at times. That's why Queenie said "MANAGE YOUR STATE". Be aware, and remind yourself to be thankful at all times. Good times and Bad. It's ok to feel overwhelmed, just remember to manage it.

Cheque over Ego. Which one do you one? Sickness over Small Discipline of Healthy Lifestyle, Which one you'll choose? 

Next event, Spectacular 2013 Malaysia! Biggest ever in the history of Herbalife. 15,000 people! Amazing! Call me now to get tickets, it's going the most unbelievable "Looking into the future" For better health, and wealth! Call 0125302682, Felicia Wong.

A story about Tomorrow

I had to share this quote from Jim Rohn. I listen to Jim Rohn whenever I can, mornings on my computer, or mostly in the car, do you know according to an study, we spend average 233 hours a year commuting? Read. If you don't know how long is that, the same time can be used to/for:

Earn an MBA 35% faster 
Read 25 books a year
Clean our 83 closets! (wow!)
Train for a marathon

Amazing right? Instead of wasting away listening to the radio, or ads, or weather, put on your Jim Rohn cd. If you're a Herbalife distributor, do it pronto, you'll have an intellectual feast and all i can say it really helps you in both ways, life and in business. 

Anyways, yes speaking of Jim Rohn, I cannot say enough how much he has contribute, or should we listen to him, I think if the 10% of the world listen to this amazing philosophy, the world will be a better place already. Personal development is everything you need. With it, you have balance, in life, in career, family, financial... I'm not talking about motivation, just simple philosophy that rule our daily lives. 

I just want to post this quote which I think is right to the point, just a bullseye. 

"The problem with waiting until tomorrow is that when it finally arrives, 
it is called today." -- Jim Rohn

Yes, we like to say, let's do it tomorrow, let's catch up sometime, tomorrow or whenever.. Often asked the question, when would you like to start? Something along the lines, of "Let me think about it and get back to you tomorrow" 

Let's do it today, because when tomorrow arrives, it's called today. So WHY Not now? Why not touch some more lives today? Why not be the better person today? Why not you? Why not now?

Thoughts to ponder


We stay because we believe. 
We leave because we are disillusioned. 
We come back because we are lost. 
We die because we are committed. 

The Professionals (1966)

From Jim Rohn CD Leadership Volume: 2

Leslie Stanford and Jim Rohn, Toronto, Canada:

Build a career and Balance your life. Can you achieve both in Herbalife? 

"It's possible to refine your time; to such a degree you can include everything; the spiritual, the family side, the health side, the culture" Look inside for the strength, Look outside for the ways and means"

"Be influenced by those who know what they're talking about" "Make a study of your life, your opportunity, your future"

Notes from May 20th 2012

I always believe those to ask will get the answer, those who knock the door, and one shall be opened to you. Found my notes during last Extravaganza from our guest speaker Raquel Cortes, No 1 in the world, a housewife. Amazing lady. Here's my notes (she was talking I was typing it out like crazy!) I will BOLD some of it.

You're  in a place to recharge your batteries. You need to take control of your lives. Not everybody has his growth, it doesn't matter how long it takes you, it took 8 years for me to get to pres team. You need to take control of your life. Responsibility, not easy, afraid of failure. I would like to share with, make a decision.... Did it with fear but do it with goal. Give yourself strength., many ppl here are worried after 3 days here. Worries are the preamble of failure. 

When we r worried, my 1st extravganza, I had no permission to be here. You have to give yourself permission. How can you learn to be financially independent? Live from your sales, personal production, going to personal development, trainings.. buying the books and cd. Best investment is growth for yourself. Royalties cheque to live in the home of your dreams, avoid spending, saving to buy treasure. Avoid buying cheap things. 

Take care of your money. Invest education in your family. Your new home, education, best! If you place money in your mind, your mind is going fill your pockets. Benjamin Franklin. Royalities Give more value to your lifestyle. 5 pieces of puzzle of life. 

Work more on yourself. What is working on yourself ? Simple but profound. Make changes, invest time on getting up earlier, stop television. Giving certain times to work, no partying. No distraction. Make herbalife into food hobby school, herbalife was my everything, what you think is what you do, what you do is what makes be what you are. Engineer who is a taxi driver, doesn't matter coz you're driver... It's not how we say words. We may not have the capacity to inspire. We dont have the words, persuading is more than convincing and selling. Fill the gap of communication. We have a product course we think everybody understands. Menu of stories in extravaganza. Bigger percentage of ppl will leave here with a clearer picture what to do. Grab hlf like grabbing a surfing board. Art of persuasion. Always talk less. Fairy tale...

Don't sell big stories that ppl won't believe . All the leader I've seen with their children joins them in d biz, dynasty is built..how can you form a great team. You have to be consistent, you have to resist ... Life throws things at is, like takes frm us, bt you have to have a direction...


Destiny is given to us by something we control. Right now, if you're supervisor or dist, get a goal,, where  u Wanna reach in 2012? Needed to mature so that wouldn't complain. Take the bull by the horn. 4 years ago I was in spore, wearing twice the dress size, you can always improve...I was able to change home when you change pins. If ur successful it bothers other ppl. Give yourself permission to leave your current situation. In marriage there's negotiation for love. What do you want? 


1998 mill team 1999 pres team. Go after what you want. Nobody is to blamed for the decision you make... 2004 July left his work. Dec 2005 chairmans club. If he doesn't take you , you take yourself. 

Avoid complaining abt your circumstances. You have to find a way to get to where you want to be, for things to change you have to change. Things doesn't come for free. Price only weigh ounces compared to the pain of regret. 

That would've been shameful to stay where I was. Assume the responsibility take the 4th decade of herbalife. Biggest things contribute to ppls changes, I was there. I can tell you the story...create it build it. Mark Hughes house in 1997 Beverly hills, crazy ppl are happy and rich.. Healthy.,, intelligent, dare to dream, achieve anything they want. 

Abundance aplenty we are sometimes afraid... 


Mark said there isn't any place in the world in which ppl come from in any religion race, what they know don't know young or old it doesn't matter where they come from, where they can be together without fighting.  We r here together with one mission, one goal. To improve the nutritional habits of the world, take this mission around the world, to bring nutrition to their homes, leave it a better place. 



I remember Jim Rohn's saying, "Start from wherever you are and with whatever you've got."

The Five People You Spend Time With

Not the people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom, let's look somewhere closer to home. The other I was sitting down with a team member. She had a good personality but seem not to be able to perform at her work. She's full time, has a daily place to report for work everyday but apparently doesn't show in the end results for the past 6 months. As a leader or a coach, you have to let people to make mistakes but if you can help them to make less, by showing pointers, sometimes you end up being a student. Jim Rohn has this good quote, 

 “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” 

Aha moment for me, as I told her to think about the team of people she worked with everyday for the past 6 months. These people has something in common, not very good, I'm afraid. If people that aren't motivated, not excited, no reason of being  somewhere (at least not on their own will) why would they want to help you to grow? 

That was what went wrong. So, I know even if your best friend, family, sometimes you have to draw a line. If you want to grow, if you want to change, be with someone that encourages you, not pull you down. This is no longer in school, you can change if you want to. "You're not a tree, change!" You can dream to be a millionaire, if you hang out with people who has no desire to succeed. I'm not saying they don't have the ability, everybody does, equal opportunity, but when you don't have  a WHY or reason, you know you have to do something about it.

I've also learned that it's okay to ask someone if they're serious. First, you help to differentiate serious and curious. Really, how many times have you frustrate yourself and others, when something does not work, reason being one of the party is not willing to commit? And you do want the best for both sides, and makes lives easier too! I was asked this Are you serious? question so many times, and that was the best for me, because it made me who I am now. So, don't feel insulted, or don't feel you're too hard on someone. :) 

So, yes, association and commitment to something you want to do, two essential factors in anything you apply really. :)

A Golden Attitude

I think Jim Rohn have said this before, "Those who read very little have rickets of the mind". Basically, kekurangan minda. Definition of rickets on wikipedia. It does not matter if you're 25 or 50 years old, if you don't grow, it's just too bad.

In Herbalife business, I have found myself challenging the fact that your income usually never exceed your personal development (simple nak faham, pembinaan karektor dalaman). After a little more than 3 years, I've come to terms to accept it. And I hope if anybody who's new and ready to go, excited about the Herbalife opportunity will take time to grow, because that's the biggest return in the business; which is the person you become, not how much you make.

I'm just one of the many stories you will find. Now that my income is more than my age, and it grew 20 times over the past 12 months. It's crazy but I've seen it, and observed it and learned and still learning, from my own mistakes, many of others' mistakes. Ramai orang yang datang memang teruja, super excited and then some don't last-hilang je macam tu. If you don't like that to happen to yourself, decide now. Where do you want to be? Where do you want to go? But like what Mark Hughes says "It's easy to have a great attitude when everything goes right for you, but it takes a GOLDEN attitude when nothing is working right". Right. Sikap yang luar biasa. Rasa rendah diri, sentiasa nak belajar.

And usually kalau nak ada masalah, ada je problem dia. Masalah komunikasi dengan orang (dalam team, sideline, between groups). Usually masalah dengan orang je, the most complicated puzzle. Chairman's Club, Stephan Gratziani gave one of the best trainings two times in KL, one that most people would remember during 2012 Spectacular. There will be more leadership, President's team and so forth, so most likely ego will also be 5000 time more. Human nature. Human error.

So, I'd like to suggest like what we do in our retail pitching just like with our own personal relationship with others, be it customers or distributors, try not to get into argument. actually just don't. I guess it's not easy, if you don't grow personally, you'll find yourself attracting lots of problems. But it's simple, just don't complicate it. Read more of Vitamins for the Mind by Jim Rohn. listen to the tapes, read the books like eating an apple a day. You'll find yourself to be the bigger person.

My coach reminded me too, ask yourself this question "Do I want my ego, or do I want my cheque to grow?" :) I think if you're having a conflict at any moment, this is a really good question to ask.

If everything else seems so hard to swallow like a bitter pill. "The best revenge is to do well!" Nobody can argue with success.
