I was reading a book called SpeedWealth by wealth guru, T Harv Eker and will like to share some powerful nuggets that can help you become rich and super successful in your business.
The nuggets may look like common sense but I find it invigorating and refreshing, and I believe it will benefit you too, especially if you are self employed or running a business/practice like me! 🙂
Have a read! 🙂
1) You have to position yourself for wealth.
2) Success is a learnable skill.
3) If someone is doing better than you, it’s because they know something that you don’t.
4) The Law Of Income: You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace.
5) Demand + Supply + Quality + Quantity = $$$
6) Why does a brain surgeon earn as much in one day as a gas attendant in a whole year?
Because he or she has a rare and specialized skill that is critical when needed. Put bluntly, there are millions who can pump gas, but few who can fix brains.
7) Model a proven winner.
8) Copy someone who is making a mint right now.
9) A business system is a repeatable process that produces a profit.
10) Business is simple. People are complicated.
11) Work ON the business, instead IN the business.
12) First you create something that works well on a small scale, maybe one store, one office, or a sale to one person. Then you repeat the process, again and again. It’s that simple!
13) One SpeedWealth strategy is to find buyers who can purchase or sell large volumes of your products and services.
14) If you are not using leverage, you’re working too hard, and earning too little!
15) How can I provide people with my value, my products or services, while I sleep?
16) Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanent.
17) The best advice about money is only three words: Get it handled!
18) Lastly, remember, success is a learnable skill!

Yesterday, I went for the copywriting seminar conducted by Fadzuli, and boyyy…. it’s enlightening and very refreshing…. 🙂
Get to network with common minded Melayus like Suryadi, Syah, Badawi, Nawaz, Fahim, Melindah and many, more others… Its sooooo….gerek… hahahhhh…
It’s some kind like “law of attraction” these days that, generous people who shares the same passion, keep attracting to me, all the time….
Bro Hafihz, who is a genius in marketing, helped me in the restructuring of my whole blog and change my deep rooted concept and understanding on using the internet to better market and position myself, as a financial associate in Singapore.
Bro Samson, who is a Certified NLP trainer, helped me to reignite my passion and reinforce my belief that all things are possible.
Not forgetting, Abang Abu, with his never ending quest to help the Malay community transform into an exemplary ummah that many will be proud of.
Of course, there are many whom I love to meet in the future like Saiful, Diana Sabrain and many, many more successful entrepreneurs out there 🙂
……………………………….
Alhamdulillah….
The seminar just comes at the right timing, as I am drafting my first book, “33 Common Questions, People Asked Me As A Financial Associate”. heheh…can steal some ideas to make my book interesting
In this very post that you are reading now, I will share with you the gist of wisdom, I manage to uncover while attending the mini workshop.
Actually, there’s a lot to be shared, but I prefer to concentrate on one…as the post might get very lengthy. 😛
First and foremost, Fadzuli shared that copywriting is the art of WRITING that enables reader’s mind to think and TRIGGER responses.
Different people have different TRIGGER points.
You have different TRIGGER points.
I have different TRIGGER points.
Everyone has different TRIGGER points.
The 8 Most COMMON TRIGGER POINTS are
1) Specificity
When you are specific, you increase believability.
Specifics carry more weight with your prospects.
Things like “I am a financial associate.”
“I am 23 years old.”
“I live in Singapore.”
All these, are specifics, that increase believability.
………………………..
2) Curiosity
Curiosity kills the cat but makes the marketer, a lot of money.
I love to create suspense and make people curious of my no hold bar frank opinion of life, when I post in this blog.
That is why you still continue to read and revisit my blog again and again. even though some detest with my opinions
……………………………
3) Reason WHY
Telling people the reason WHY YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING is one of the most powerful
influencers of human behavior.
Robert Cialdini, Ph.D. in his book “Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion” talks
about an experiment by Harvard social psychologist, Ellen Langer, that concluded
people like to have a reason for what they do.
My manager is a very good motivator.
She loves to say, “Helmi, you must do this because….
because….”
A lot of reasons created, that will propelled me to strive to achieve my goals.
………………………..
4) Scarcity
When you don’t have many of it, people tend to want it.
So when you want to offer something to readers of your blog, make it scarce. 🙂
………………………..
5) Fear
This is my own interpretation. When people fear of something, they will act IMMEDIATELY.
Example, one who is diagnose with heart problem, will IMMEDIATELY quit smoking, or maintain a healthy lifestyle, because they FEAR of the worst.
……………………….
6) Enthusiasm
Enthusiasm is contagious.
I guess, some people just act on what you propose, if they see you, so enthusiastic in what you propose.
Yup2… Enthusiasm plays a role. 🙂
……………………………………………..
7) TELLING THE TRUTH
I find this relevant.
When I asked the top 1% of financial advisers in Singapore, on what makes them so successful.
They just told me, be truthful. Just tell you clients, the truth.
……………………………..
8) Relations
When you mention names, it triggers the related party minds..hahahhh…I did mentioned names in this post right? 😛
Sometimes,my blog post remits unwanted responses, even i don’t mention names. who eat chili, they will feel the heat
I will like to thank Bro Fadzuli again for his sharing and hope, you, readers learn a thing or 2 in this post. :)

I have lots of clients who have the “intent” to start up, a business venture….
…. selling handbags….selling burgers…. selling health products….
A lot of interesting, fun and lovely ideas…. 🙂
Some seeked my point of view, if they should sell away their house, to fund their dream business…
Some seeked my point of view, if they should quit their job, to start their dream business…
Some seeked my “money”, as a form of capital to start their dream business… 😛
I met a lot of entrepreneurial people.
My advice to all is that, if you want to set up your own business, you need to have contingency funds that can last you at least for 1 year.
You need to have enough money in your bank account that can last you 1 year, if your business doesn’t generate money.
If not, don’t even think of quitting your job, to start that very business that you aspire.
Yes…Have at least 1 year of contingency funds.
When I met my clients, I will always do the cashflow statement for them.
I will highlight to all these entrepreneurs to be, to have at least 12X their total outflow.
Yes…12X….
Of course, there is really more planning need to be done like, him or herself having enough critical illness coverage…etc2…
That’s where customized planning comes in.
Btw, if you need any help in terms of financial advice, drop me an email or call me for appointment.
I will be happy to assist you! 🙂
