Aiza - Entrepreneur Action Programme (EAP) Dec 6-7

Attended the very intensive and action oriented EAP Course by Executive Directions. Re-Learning many good and awesome stuff. Difference is in taking immediate action and thus, the learning is experiential and more powerful. New learning from Ken Chee - what is your Unique Selling Proposition/Personality (USP), which he calls the 'soul of the biz'. Egs BreadTalk's job scope is making bread but the soul is Entertainment thru food. Look at the design and ambiance of Food Republic. Story of Big Mamma - job scope is Wanton Noodle but the soul is treating u like an honored guest/ultimate generousity.

Another blessing is Allan Pease book The Questions Are the Answers which James has shared 5 years ago. Reading the book gave me a fresher appreciation to the system and am committed to do it in 2009.

The fact that almost 100 people were in the EAP, reflected that people are serious about looking for opportunities.

Now, on the road to put all lessons learnt into practise the next 2 weeks as we work as a team to prapare for the Biz Opportunity Fair.

It was an empowering experience.

Letting Go

Today was a really interesting day, went for a movie marathon last night, only had 1 hour of sleep, so today feels a bit floating. Decided to dedicate some time to myself, and started questioning about my life again.

In what areas of my life have I become a slave to, not creating joyfully, but coming from fear?

A lot of things came up, but I also realized that I work best when I come from abundance, and not from lack or need.

I realized that the greatest opponent truly hides in the last place I'll ever look, that's up inside my head. It's a constant struggle. The world, and my results all happen within my head. I don't know, it's a weird day, because I feel lighter and less chained by the events of everyday life.

I'm a little impatient that Vitameal seems to be moving very slowly, and I'm not making any sale. So I truly gotta start fixing appointments with people, and make some sale. Thanks aiza for the little messages that you drop telling me how u're doing. It makes a difference to me.

Wrote email to James about why I wanted formal CAR Coaching from him. The coaching is at a good start. We'll work out the when and whats and start soon. Very scared about this, many considerations, but what the F..., just go for it anyways...

Did Spa sharing and spa demo to my new friend Diana Lau. Found out she's used Nu Skin for 6 mths a few years ago with very bad results. So, she's not jumping into it, but seeing how the 'spa-ed' half face turns out... Also scanned and Omron-ed her. Hardly any fats but SCS can be improved... and she walked away saying "I don't mind trying the supplements". Great!

Jamie Yun from IPP came, ready to try our supplements to improve her health. I POM-ed her 2 wks ago (21 Nov). She's open to this and skincare next time. When the prods work for her, she may refer her friends and clients. She scanned and ARO-ed Go Blue Faster Pack.

Learning
* With Diana, I created relationship and rapport before she came for the spa sharing. So, altho she'd very bad experience with NS before, she's ok with me. She's open to the supplements and is KIV-ing the spa. So, creating rapport and relationship works with new friends.
*Always scan and omron after spa demo, esp important if never close on spa, coz creating value and other avenues of closing.
* Important to introduce NS partners to prospects; I introduced Diana to Karen Kwok and Karen shared how her skin with eczema, have improved. So this is a live and unpractised testimonial. Very powerful seed planting. Juinn Wen sat beside Jamie and me, I introduced them and Jamie voiced that she's keen to know JW's story. So, all these are powerful "seed-planting" that I can water/follow up and reap later ...

Blessing
Temporary work at IPP - gave new contacts (egs Jamie Yun, Bee Siew, etc)
Going to events and talks - blessed with new friends like Diana Lau, Friederike Loh, etc.
James - giving us great stuff like Bill Bartman, good lobang for learning like from Metica, the Christmas Season Seminar and ENMC, etc.
James - went out of his way to enrol me to his coaching.
Diana Lau - just a very nice person, adding value to my life and perspective of life.
Chang Liang - energy & passion for VitaMeals - really inspiring!
Fun Siong - for my generous birthday gift of a branded bag.

3 Dec 2008

Wow, Lots of learnings from you dear buddy. Your resolve is loud and desire to expand yourself is blaring.

It's been a really amazing week so far up till now. Law of Attraction seems to be working in my favour. I just drafted a letter today and wrote to my school department head for a request to meet up with them to discuss further the idea of me bringing Vitameal to school, and spreading the good word. I'm quite confident that good results will come.

I'm learning a lot now as the new captain, and am grateful for the opportunity to step up and play a bigger game. The team now rests on my shoulders and I got to be accountable to each and every individual. What a huge learning and playing field. I'm excited to create a breakthrough for our team this month.

And dear Aiza, I'm so fortunate to have you as my buddy. I'm also deeply moved by your comments about me. I'm really enjoying the way things between us has started, and humbled by your honest acknowledgements for me. I can sense a lot of energy coming from the both of us. A real buddy relationship in the making. Yay!

ps. buddy, remember to label your post --> Aiza. So when you just want to view yours, u click on the label (aiza) or when u want to view mine, you click on the label (chang liang).

Met my buddy, Chang Liang. What a fortituous way to start the 2009, eh?
Looking forward to creating a close and committed relationship with my buddy. Very excited about this, especially for 2009!

Met up with James, and he gave a short coaching for me and Patrick.
What did we create differently the last 1 year that was different from the pervious 5 years? What do we want to achieve for 2009?
Me - having an Executive. Success is repeatable. Just repeat my success. Also, BE the 5% and FIND the 5%.
James pointed out that one cannot coach if one is not being coached. Ruby - find 4 people, and help them to find people. What will enrol and keep on enrolling people/downlines is BEING. Area of building people - what skills I'm improving in this area after a time/period? Repeat success and 2009 will be different.
Can I do it alone? NO! We all go through ups and downs. Cannot be on my own esp. when times are tough.

2 Dec.
Met up Friederike Loh for dinner. She's a great lady! A psychologist and a Major in the Army. Doing her Masters now and NLP. Loves Jonh C Maxwell. Plans to start her own consultancy/training biz end next year when she's out of the Army. She'll forcus on youth and children. But found out that she's done Nu Skin before, 2 years ago, and is active with her ARO. She can do with TRA... will see how.

After that went to a talk on Feminism at SCWO, at Diana Lau's invitation. Glad I went. Learnt alot, became more aware about the term and what is 'Feminism'. Got to know Diana better too. Not only is she a physiotherapist that runs a health company for her boss, she's into helping and volunteering to enrich her life; with Make a Wish Foundation (10 wishes granted), Volunteer Museum Guide, count flag money for the Heart Foundation (3yrs). Wow! My life just expanded after mtg these 2 women! Got Nazirah's namecard, she's from HP.

Learning
======
Am fired up by Chang Liang's idealism and commitment to help the children of the world! Didn't realise I've lost my idealism (if I had any to start with). I think we make a good balance: he can fire up my enthusiasm for life and for me to reflect upon and search deep within me for my ideals, my promises, so that I am enthusiastic again doing the NS biz. Him - I can give a listening ear as well as my experience. :)

I realised that although being focused and having 'one track mind' abt NS is important to doing the biz well, after last nite, I realised that I've become a 'boring' person. I don't have balance in my life. It's all NS. I go to events, to ultimately to prospect. I meet people up, for NS. Last nite made me realised how shallow and boring a person I've become. Now, I'm committed to creating balance in my life; biz life, family life, find my soul mate, friends.

Blessing
======
My buddy is a blessing because he adds value in my life and person. Starting with igniting my enthusiasm for life again. My promise in this life.
Friederike and Diana - they've opened up my eyes last nite to achieve balance and do beyond NS.
James - giving me tough feedback, the occasional coaching that mirrors me where I am and what I need to look out for. Always being there for me.
Hwee Suan - giving valuable feedback that's not easy to give, but making a stand, caring for me anyway.

Chang Liang

A BOM well delivered, had a real good conversation with my buddy aiza, got to know her deeper, and I'm really looking forward to exploring this relationship and see where it will go. A lot more work to be done, but I'm sure with us walking together, the journey will be more fun and meaningful.

Didn't make any calls today. I'm the captain for this month, first time doing it, so I really want everyone to win this month, whatever it is. I'm sure there's room for the team to grow together, to a different place, to have a real breakthrough. I'm gonna discuss this with coach and see what's his stand on this.

Meanwhile, This is my promise. 100 bags of Vitameals this week - 100 children saved. I'm going all out to make this happen. Wow, I can imagine at the end of the week what kind of impact that would be to a starving child.
