Hey guys.. I met my friend who’s asking about my blog and it remind me to update this blog again. I have been really busy this past few months until I don’t have time to update my blog. There are SO many interesting thing I found & learn that I would like to share, especially about goal setting, Whoa.. I really shocked about the dangerous of goal setting that I learn about it recently, I really excited to share about it, you gotta keep reading it until finish.. really.. seriously, 5-10 minutes reading this post will help change your life, but before that, let me do update on my goal from my previous posting creating milestones toward big goal for those who’re wondering about the result. Well, my milestone last time was obtaining 5 figures income net/month from affiliate marketing. I couldn’t met that milestone on July, I can only manage to obtain 5 figure gross, but I’m pretty happy with the result, considering I’m only doing it part time and the net was pretty close though This past month I have tried to figure out how to solve this missing link toward my that big goal, I roughly know what need to be done, but a lot of work need to be done, perhaps I’ll try to outsource thing that can be outsourced.

Another thing that I would love to share is about the seminar that I attended. There were about 20 international speakers from that seminar, mostly are millionariers. But, out of about 20 people, only 1 person that I feel is outstanding. Do you know the famous book called “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki? No, the person is not Robert Kiyosaki, but rather the Rich Dad himself that mentor Robert! Can you believe it? I was really excited to know about him. I never thought the Rich Dad was real. His name is Keith Cunningham, he’s really a successful businessman and really really rich. He has lost $100 Million in business before! So, It’s awesome to hear from the real master directly about his teaching. Not only he’s so good on financial and business, he’s also damn cool and share valuable things that he learn from his personal life! I’m really interested to know what the mindset he has to bring to that level and most importantly what valuable information successful people learn from his life. I were shocked hearing what he encountered and learned from his life, especially during his down time. It’s so totally completely different on what normal people teach, no wonder only 5-10% people who can understand and grasp the mindset become successful in life. His view and his teachings in life has changed my personal plan and it’s really an eye opener for me. If you want to learn about him personally, you can visit Keith’s website, read his profile there, and I recommend you to buy his DVD as well if you want to be successful in your business. He’s not only teach about financial success, but also what he learn about life. Wouldn’t it be very interesting to hear what successful people learn in their life?

Goal setting are indeed important, but according to Keith, it’s not everything, especially in life. You need to be aware on the drawback of goal setting. Keith says that most people try so hard and so obsessed achieving their goal thinking once they have achieved their goal, they will be happy. The problem is that by making this up, we make where we are now wrong and where we want/our goal is right. This is the surest way for people to be unhappy and feel miserable in their life, because we make where we are wrong! Another drawback of goal setting is that when we plan for something, we have tendency to attached to that goal and end up ignoring all the other great alternative possibility surround us. Most successful people didn’t end up where they thought the’re going with their plan. They’re successful because they remain flexible & responsive along their way, not because of goal setting, but rather from “creation” that requiring skill and mindset, the ability to see opportunities and this definitely requires immense amount of gratitude of where we are right now! Having gratitude of what you have in your life is critical, it’s the first step toward success & happy life. God or universe will not give you more if you are not grateful of what you have right now.
Wait.. This doesn’t mean we don’t need to have goal or plan anything in your life, creation is not replacement but rather as companion of goal setting.

His teaching is definitely mind blowing that you would never think of it before, well at least for me. You gotta be grateful of what you have in your life. Make a gratitude list of 100 things in your life, if you can’t think any, think of those people more unfortunate that you, there.. you’ll get the list done!

As I mention in my last post, I was involved in affiliate marketing though PPC, I love it. I can’t really expose everything in here.. but, my first milestone was what all the newbies want to achieve.. $100/day net Yesterday, I reached my biggest day ever, and suddently Google slaped my campaign with no reason I’m not sure why, I do not do funny funny thing and I do not promote scamming and spamming advertiser. Obstacle always happend a long the process, but I’m not giving up, I’ll find a new way to reach my big milestones for end of July.

Lastly, I can’t wait to attend Harv Eker’s seminar “Never Work Again” next week! Yeah.. the title sounds too good to be true hehe.. I guess this seminar is also about passive income and investment kind of thing. Thanks to my good friend who is giving his ticket to me. I’ll try to share what I learn from seminar later. So far I have been following his money management system by creating about 6 differents account. you can read his money management system here.

Year 2008 has been a great year for me, thanks to God I had a chance to travel to France and Taiwan sponsored by my company for business trip I should have shared this 2008 thingies on 2009 old ‘n new, but I guess late is better than nothing. I love France, when I visited it, everything reminds me of US, from the type of trees in the street, city structure, the environment to the people. Well, this maybe just because I miss US so much and thanks to God again he knew I miss US and let me to have this great opportunity, not to consider I just join this company for 2 months only. Taiwan is also a wonderful country, I love it! Taipei is a modern and advanced city like Singapore, the only difference is Singapore is so hot! haha.. Taipei has 4 seasons in a year which make their scenery even more beautiful, and the other part that makes me love Taiwan is the people and their food! Their local people are so nice and friendly, especially to the foreigner. My mandarin is total crap, I speak mandarin using body language and regardless of that, they’re still willing to communicate and help me.

Since beginning of 2009, I have been quite busy with my project which I will talk about it soon. I have been involved in affiliate marketing through internet since 2007. Yes these past few years it has been booming and a lot of people jumping on it because of the hype created by the marketer, but it’s not as easy as what those people say tho.. Anyways, since last year I have been struggling how to achieve my goal.. it’s not big goal tho.. just a milestone to the big goal. We need a big and goal and create a lot of milestones along the way to achieve it Thanks to God again, because of my trip to France, I got an idea that I wouldn’t realize if I didn’t go there. And because of that, I’m so happy that as today I finally reach my goal that I have been struggling since last year.. it’s not big one but.. yay!! finally I reach it, I can’t express my feeling in writing, but it is definitely a great feeling haha.. time to set and achieve the next milestone.. gotta throw more seeds ^_^v  Well, thanks for reading this, I still believe the story about connecting the dots by Steve Jobs during Stanford Commencement that whatever things happen in our life, either good or bad, is somehow connected, I recommend you to read it.

Cheers,
Rudy
