Avoid the Trap

When you are in a quest for success, you will not be in an easy road.  

There are many hurdles and barriers that you need to overcome.  Sometimes it is daunting to go through all that but it is part of the test as they call it.  Nothing is easy otherwise everyone can get it.  Only the best and the brightest and those that persevered will ever reach the top.


Many of our successful folks would narrate their life stories on how they were faced with so many obstacles, hardships and difficulties.  The path is not easy at all.  Its doable and not impossible as they confidently exclaim.  They proudly proclaim how they did it along the way.  When they almost gave up and caved in to pressure, in the nick of time, just a little bit of patience and endurance, they made it.
However, we dont normally hear from them about traps.  We hear a lot about things that blocked their way but we never really hear about the times they were trapped or lost their way.  The only reason for that is to avoid embarrassment. A trap is an embarrassment.  They should have known better but they got caught in a trap and had been diverted, thus, their quest was delayed.


Traps are things that makes us stuck and unable to move when we want to.  These are things in life that prevents us from moving towards our goal.  These are bad habits, bad companies and bad relationships that syphons your time, resources and self-respect.  As business people, these things need to be avoided.  You need to avoid these distractions at all cost.  



Once you avoided these traps, the rest will be easier, things will be better.  You will have the strength and ability to direct all your efforts towards your goal and this time, you will be wiser and better.

What the Elites Don’t Want You to Know

‘You are the author of your life.’ I’m sure you have heard this a thousand times before as this cliché has been said by a lot of great speakers to motivate their audience. But somehow, you most likely believe that some lives are authored by bloodline especially for people who are born with a silver spoon in the mouth. And you know that the quote ‘ You are the author of your life ’ is only applicable to regular people so that they couldn’t blame anyone for the poverty and scarcity they experience. -The Trap- Now let me tell you some truths that might shock the very core of you. The things that the world and the media has led you to believe are façade and lies to stop you from being free from the trap. And when I say trap, I mean that 9-5 job you’ve signed for. Trap is the routine that you do, an endless cycle of going to work, receiving your paycheck monthly, that’s not even enough to cover all the dues. Trap is also the miserable and dangerous world that you believe you are ...

How to be a Millionaire Salesman

Being a salesperson is something that’s not everyone’s cup of tea. It’s not very easy to be a sales man but if you are going to think about it, each of us is a sales person at some degree. Whenever we deal with other people, talk to people, convince people, win approval, these are all selling in different forms. We sell ourselves the way we present ourselves on a daily basis.  Brian Tracy has once said that if you are in the field of sales, you are already one step closer to the way to wealth. You have the biggest chance to be a millionaire among all the other people who work in different fields once you are a sales person. So, what does it really take to be a millionaire salesman? 1.

The Right Business Goal

When talking about business goal, the first idea that will come to your mind is achieving the maximum sales. Well, there’s really nothing wrong with knowing the business’ full potentials. However, I don’t think that this is the right business goal. Truth is this kind of business goal often lead to poor sales. People nowadays refuse to spend on anything unless it could really give them great value. Sadly, we live in a world today where the only time to catch people’s interest is if it’s something that would benefit them more than it benefits others.  Two years ago, I was giving a motivational talk to people from different walks of life and I opened up about my project of helping one specific community in one village where illiteracy rate was a little bit higher compared to normal places. I told them that whoever wanted to be part of the project could stay in the room after the event. To my surprise, the room was still full of people after the program. I was surprised that every...
