As I was born and raised in in Tropical Island, I have been trained well by my mother how to deal with “Typhoon” or “Hurricane” depends on where you live since I was a little girl.  I learned that the “EYE”, the center of the storm is the most safe and clam place to be.  It is much like in life or in business, while there are much “nosies” going on, to keep ourselves “centered” and “focused” is the key to see beyond the cloudy, messy, confused surroundings! After answered countless emails about what happened recently in the network marketing online world, the debates between "let's get some cash upfront from Affiliate Products" v.s. "Send to your own products/service to build your authority and make a ROI first"; plus the stir of whether FREE or Paid Advertisement to get traffic…I thought it's time to speak up. Now, let me warn you first as a courtesy, if you know me by now, I will not be "fluffy" in my communication, because it is not my style, nor my principle. As an observer and marketer, I am growing my business just as you do, I guess it is the cultural thing, as I was raised up and told that I am responsible for my own future, not my government, not my school teachers, nor my employers...not someone else. It is me, need to take 100% responsibility about my future, everything comes with consequence, either positive or negative ways. So, as I was in Ann Sieg’s & Michael Wilson’s recent business coaching, Ann mentioned about 2 things, which I resonated with it much, and I was told that I should learn fast and pass along to people I care, so this is why I am writing this post. :)  Ok, Ann and Michael should be very proud of me, now. :)

1. Time Magazine pointed out in May 2009, by 2019 40% of the workforce will be replaced by independent contractors, thus in the article, it indicted and emphasized the importance of “personal branding” for corporate employees. Yes you hear me right, even corporate employees were or have been encouraged to BRAND themselves, make sure they are known as a solution providers, value contributors.
2. Ann mentioned about a diagram, I changed the wording a bit here in the diagram text, because I’d like to combined my own research in last 3 years with my Asian mentor & European in-laws (since I have a bankers in-laws family)...I am privileged to be able to view in seasoned investors‘ eyes, listened and learned how they conduct their business and finances, and may I say that this diagram alone will pave the way for you, for your long term financial freedom if you are willing to sow in your efforts and plan deep!

I have been reminded (you can see some testimonials in this blog) that I have an ability to explain complex thing in simple form, take away people’s fear, so it helps them to move forward in their progress, whether in business or in life. So here is the exercise I’d like to collaborate with you. I’d use the example of opening a restaurant: Part 1: Let's start from one essential question, and please allow this question really sink into your mind: “Do you treat your current business as a business or you are just a salesman for others subconsciously?
