Hey Guys,

I just received an email from Adam Khoo that he’s giving away 3 of his best selling books (in digital format) for the first 100 people who qualifies…

Adam is giving away “The Secrets Of Self-Made Millionaires“, “Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny” and one of his latest books “Secrets Of Millionaire Investors“.

All you have to do is to invest in Adam’s Patterns Of Excellence home study course today…

The offer is only valid for the 1st 100 people only… If you have always been interested in Adam’s books/courses, then now is the time to take action!

As Adam Always Tells Us in POE… “Success happens by choice, NOT by chance.”

I don’t know how fast this one will sell out… but as they say in Singapore… “Good Things Must Share!“… I have already done my part in sharing with you… the rest is up to you now…

P.S. Pl note that the site may be experiencing heavy traffic… Do be a little patient and wait for the page to load =)

Affirmations are great tools that can help you overcome fear, build your confidence, develop an abundance mind-set and more. The problem is that many people aren’t sure exactly how to write effective affirmations. Do they always have to be in present tense? Can they contain “negative” words like can’t, won’t, not, and so on?

There are plenty of differing opinions on the right and wrong ways to write effective affirmations, but the bottom line is that an affirmation can be considered effective if it works for YOU! The whole point of affirmations is to shift your thoughts and emotions to a more positive place so you feel more confident, happy, secure, abundant, or anything else you’re trying to accomplish.

Take a look at the sample affirmations below for starters and feel free to use them if they resonate with you. If not, try altering them slightly until they trigger the mind-set and emotional state you’re trying to attain.

101 Affirmations You Can Start Using Today!

I just stumbled upon another inspirational video… It’s about an extraordinary boy (Ben Underwood) who “sees” with his ears… after losing his eyes to cancer.

Beyond that, it shows how family support can be so crucial in tough situations.

The world never ceases to amaze me…

I’ve always believed that in order to grow and reach the next level, you must learn from the best.

You’d want to learn from the mistakes that successful people make (so you can avoid them) and also understand how they achieve the phenomenal things they do.

With that, let me leave you with a speech by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple and Pixar Animation. Now Steve is a remarkable man who has gone through a lot of ups and downs. I am quite sure you will be able to learn much from him.

Do share with me the insights and “AHA’s” you managed to get from the video in the comments section. Feel free to email me too to chat!

Today marks the end of an interesting year - A year where I made the decision to stray from the conventional path to pursue an infopreneurial route.

Yes, it’s not easy. But I’m still hanging on… and that’s because of readers like you.

You see, I have a vision… My vision is to touch the lives of as many people as I can, through my writings. People who are interested in improving their lives… People who want to find more meaning and joy… People who are enthusiastic to learn new things and apply them… People like you.

Now, you may be wondering… what does that get me? How would helping you help me in any way?

Well it helps me find and refine my own meaning in life. Often, when you give, you get back more in return… it may be intangible but you know the feelings are worth their weight in gold.

So without further ado, let me present to you my best personal development articles in 2007… Continue Reading »
