Ano Nakarating Tapos ka Linggong Ito?
I’ve read many self improvement books since I was a teenager (not that long ago!) and the common thread among most of them is…
Write down your goals!
It’s a simple task that works to steer your mind but 99% of us DON’T do it.
Well I don’t either. Not often enough anyway.
Lets not even talk about New Year resolutions lol.
Have you heard about creating a “Life List”?
For example, 10 things you would want to do before your time on earth is up.
It’s a grand goal indeed when most people don’t even KNOW what they want. Think about it.
“You can’t achieve what you want – when you don’t even know what you want.”
That’s my own invented little quote by the way. Hope it makes sense.
Even though we don’t often write down our goals, I think it’s important to at least do something meaningful every week.
Stuff that enrich our lives and plant memories in our minds as grand experiences.
It could be little things or big things, doesn’t matter.
What have you done this week you can REMEMBER?
I can’t remember many things as I’m a rather forgetful person, however some things when done can be easily remembered because of the FEELINGS and EXPERIENCES attributed to them.
It could be simple things like watching a great movie, or doing something “out of the ordinary” than what you’ll normally do.
For example, I travel often and hardly watches movies on the plane as I’ll be on my computer. I do remember 3 months back when I did decide to watch 3 movies in a row though. Really enjoyed Wolverine too. Brings out the animal in me 😉
Just yesterday, I caught Shrek Forever After in 3D and it was GREAT. Really nice kids movie that made me feel young and happy again.
In fact I did a lot of things this week I can easily remember…
I launched this new blog, worked on a major business plan, spoke at length with my lawyer, bought a new car! (no, the events are not related to each other)
Here’s the car, it’s a Mercedes M Class:
Cars in Singapore are crazily expensive because of taxes etc. and I paid over S$250,000 for it. But it’s worth it because of the EXPERIENCE now and in the future.
I don’t profess to be a Mercedes fan but I’ve still got my other Eclass coupe which is simply AMAZING…
I’m sharing this with you to hopefully inspire ka.
I’m an ordinary guy who got a start on the internet and became successful because I KNEW, WANTED and TASTED success even before I succeeded.
That’s the key – it’s about wanting it bad enough.
Some people call it the…
BURNING DESIRE!
Do YOU have that?
You must have it to succeed in ANYTHING – life, business, relationships.
The starting point?
WRITE DOWN WHAT YOU REALLY WANT, SEE IT EVERY DAY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY – WORK TOWARDS YOUR GOAL – BAWAT DAY!
Nothing happens overnight but it will happen if you want it to.
“Nothing ventured, nothing gain.”
Stick to your guns.
Hi Ewen,hows it going Ive been hunting for your first book.I had 2 of them and for somereason they said the order was good and then i was told it wasnt available .how you made your first million!! Ya got a copy laying around lol!!!
Hi Ewen
I’m a fellow internet marketer from Singapore myself. I previously wrote to you once once you had the book launch. Not sure if you remember.
Writing goals is something very important and yet most people tend to shrug it off.
Here is how powerful it is:
When I was 22 years old, I wrote down a few goals beside my desktop computer
– To make a million dollars in net income from the internet before 30. ( it is a crazy goal but at that time, I had no idea why I wrote it down)
But…eventually, I completed the goal within the next 4 years at the age of 26. I was struggling to get started with I.M for many many years prior to that BEFORE I wrote my goal down.
I fulfilled many of my dreams with dedicated focus and never-ending desire to achieve the goal I’ve written down. Sa katunayan, I looked at the goals I’ve written every single day before I work.
It has helped me pay off a 5 series BMW with cash and fully-paid a 1.2 million condominium unit in bukit timah and I’m only 28 this year.
I say this to inspire, not to brag and to prove the power of goals and visualization.
A single0wopd to discribe this ‘wow!.’
A single word to discribe this is post’wow!.’
Thanks Ewen! I really needed to be reminded of these things. I’ve always been a dreamer but stubborn as an ox. I have recently walked away from everything that was preventing me from making my dreams come true. It’s scary but so exciting as well. You are an inspiration to those who are in my position right now. Thanks again!
Trying to achieve those goals myself.
Have some of your products but never know how to get help when I have a problem with any of them. How do I reach your support group?
Hello Ewen,
I have been in touch with you for about 7 years now.
I too have a hard time being “laser-focused”. I started out with SU a few years back, and was under you in SFI when I set up my PIPS site. Gosh, that seems so long ago now.
Gayon pa man, I never did learn how to market SFI or the PIPS site. I have moved on. Currently with the GVO Conference launch. Been online learning how to do stuff and taking “stabs in the dark” for two and a half weeks now. Please contact me. I would really value you as a friend.
Hello Ewen,
I grateful for meeting somebody like you. You always don’t hide anything away from people. Thanks for this motivation.

i am very dissapointed in the way you do not honor your committments when you tell people you will refund their money and then do not. I have been sending emails to you and you have not made any attempt to replace my money all of this was done in a timely manner how do you treat people like this. I was in a business for 30 years and never treated people like that. I thought you were one of the better marketers that could be trusted. Without trust you have nothing in this life.Very sad to have thought that you would not do as you said you would. I certainly hope you have the decency to take care of this and make it right as it should be.
