January is the time of the year where resolutions are made and goals are set. We have our engines charged and are ready for take off or have already taken off getting a good head start towards our end goal. But how long do these drives last and where do we find the fuel to keep moving? In other words how do get the momentum going? Well I suppose the answer is pretty obvious. Just don’t stop. Keep moving, keep making progress. A little a day, a little at a time is better then taking a break (stopping) for longer periods (cause you’re worn out/dejected/demotivated).

Tony Michael, SU’s VP of Sales illustrated this well in the December issue of SU’s monthly newsletter. He gives the example of a person trying to lose weight and becoming healthier and fitter person through better diet practice and daily exercises. Let’s say after 6 months this person has achieved his/her desired target weight then decided to take a break from this healthy living and eat whatever he/she wants while lazing around for 2 months. After that period, would he/she be able to return to his new healthy self? I don’t think so. Same goes with whatever that we truly desire to achieve in life. Once you start working towards the goal, don’t stop until you reach the top (your destination). This is something I myself must bear in mind thus comes this article as a reminder to myself.

Yes, we all know that sometimes the journey may be hard and we’ll come across some roadblocks that may threaten to destroy our dreams. Roadblocks may appear in many forms: financial setbacks, a conflicting relationship, unusual circumstances etc. However, if you allow it all to keep you from reaching your goals, then you probably didn’t want or don’t deserve whatever you want to achieve in the first place. This may be hard to swallow. But believe it.

Napoleon Hill in his most influential book, Think and Grow Rich talks about how important it is to have DESIRE and FAITH. If you truly desire to have a better life, then have faith that with constant effort and hard work, you will get what you want.

Another way to keep the momentum going is to work with a group of people who are working on similar goals as you. You can cheer each other along, share knowledge, and plan ways or strategies to bring the whole team closer each other’s goals. The author of a blog called IWillTeachYouToBeRich tells about how he accepted a challenge from his friends to put on more weight since he was thought to be skinny and all bones. He arrived at his goals by constantly making progress, tracking it and letting his friends know about it. There was no way he was going to back out of the challenge until he had conquered it. And he did it too! His friends can testify this! I bet he looks fantastic in his new built. So again, it’s amazing what you can achieve when you put your mind to it.

So once again people, the message is, ‘keep moving forward until you have your dreams firmly in your grasps. By then it won’t be your dream anymore but a living reality!‘

To The top!!

I have been thinking about it for the longest time. And I think it’s about time I put it out in the open. I want to give back to my university, faculty and lecturers as much as they have given to me by making my student journey an enriching one. If you’re reading this entry Dr. Rumaya and Prof. Rozumah, I would like to apologise for not taking up your offers to make me your protege. I was young, I had just graduated and I had a million of dreams to pursue. I just didn’t want to confine myself within the four walls of the faculty I had come to know so well and have grown so fond of. That was 5 years ago.

You would be proud to see where I am right now. But I want more then this and am still pursuing my real dreams to live my life as I want to. However, I also want to make a contribution to the faculty. Even though my career and family’s keeping me busy, the internet will make it possible for me to pull it through. So the contribution I’d like to make is this: I want to help inspire other students of the faculty to become the very best students. If there are students out there who have potential but are lacking motivation, bring them to me through my website. Let me guide them, support them to be the star students they can be.

During my student years, I benefited a lot from study groups. I shall discuss this in another post. I also discovered other tools necessary to become a successful student (academically). Sadly, I didn’t stay on long enough to pass on this knowledge I gained through my own experience and that of others. So now is a better time than ever to pass on those tools so that other students can benefit from it too.

Ok, hope my message will get through to the right people. I’m willing the Law of Attraction to be put into motion. All this God-willing.

Here is what I wrote in response to an email I received from someone who has already joined SU (not under me) but is still in doubt about it: 

Salam,

Firstly, I must let you in on the reason for me joining SU. I joined SU because I wanted to learn a way of making money online through internet marketing. And because Zamri has started up a Team Malaysia I decided to join under him. By joining SU, I got myself a mentor, team members who have the same goal as I have, a great personal development I can apply AND a juicy compensation plan as a BONUS.

What you must realise when you’re joining SU is that you’re investing in a program or product that will enrich your mind. In other words, you’re investing in your mind! If you won’t think twice about spending money on fuel for your car, then what about fuel for your mind? Sure, you can surf for info free on the internet but SU is more than that. You get to learn how to do INTERNET MARKETING. This is a very important skill if say you intend to sell something on the web. You need learn ways to promote a product you are passionate about.

I’m learning alot from Zamri. Stuff that I would be learning if I attended seminars that costs hundreds and thousands. But with mentoring, it’s free. And with a team, it gets you competitive and you get to check on each other to get the momentum going. I’m not saying that the compensation plan is not important. Another reason I joined this business is so that I can make residual income - making my money work hard for me and achieving financial independence. Success doesn’t happen overnight. You have to work at it! SU is NOT a get rich quick sheme!! You have to LEARN to EARN!! Only then will you know the value of your success. How fast you achieve your success very much depends on you and how much effort you put in. Love your product, get the max out of.. Then help others do the same and the money will come.

And I can tell you that I’m earning thousands of dollars just to motivate you but it will be of no use if the motivation/desire/passion doen’t come from within yourself. So then again, you decide how fast, how successful you want to be. Your mentors/upline can only help you/guide you as much as you’re willing to be guided/helped. I hope I’ve cleared the air;)

Regards,

Azrina Aznan

PS. My hubby was skeptical about this program when I first joined. But when he saw how much I am learning from it and sharing it with him, he just saw the light! Now he supports me all the way and even promotes this program for me! You can always make SU a family enrichment program. Who’s to say you have to limit it to just one family member..

I am currently taking a Success University course on street smart networking marketing. This particular course is based on a book by Robert Butwin. Here’s a quote I took from Butwin on network marketing:

“Five is really the magic number in our business. This is similar to a military model, which discovered that the optimal utilization of staff officers occurred with groups of five. In Network Marketing, five is also the optimal number of first level leaders.”

Now I understand why Zamri only chose the lucky 5 to become his protege! And it is also the same reason why Success University will only advance you to Counselor level after you’ve enrolled 5 dedicated members on your team. It is these first five players that I have to focus my attention on and get them to duplicate the formula of our mentors’/my own success so that they too will rise to great heights. And after I’ve trained my own five precious team members well, they will in turn train their own set of 5 each. So it’s five in a team at time that will lead more and more people to achieve the success they desire in this business!!

Wow!! I currently have two dedicated members on my team. So I need 3 more and my team is complete. The five on my team will get training from me and my mentor, Zamri. I actually already have my own list of who should be my other 3 team players. But if you think you can beat them to it, then take action now! Click on my Success University banner or visit my SU page through the tab above. I will dedicate myself to this training. I will make the people on my team successful!!

I’ve been doing my Mind Goals lessons for Success Uni. One thing the instructor keeps repeating over is about the importance of knowing your ‘why’s to achieving your goals. Your ‘why’s reflects your value and purpose in life. Having a strong why gives a sense of direction as to where you’re headed and it will ensure that you’ll persevere to achieve your goals.

Going through my lessons has helped me determine my ‘why’s in achieving my chosen major goal that is financial freedom. But before I get ahead of myself, let me first give you my definition of financial freedom as I understand it.

For me, financial freedom means reaching a stage in life where I have my money working hard for me. It could be in form of an investment vehicle or passive income from the internet - affiliate progs, sales of product (ebook, program etc), it could be rental for property, property sale and many, many more. When I reach financial freedom, I’ll have the time and money to do what I love most with the people I love most.

For me being financially independent and having abundance of wealth is crucial because:

1. It’ll allow me to development myself even further - books, seminars, learning materials cost money!
2. I can live my life to the fullest - have great homes, cars, clothes, food, vacation etc.
3. I can give ample love and attention to my husband and children (I’ll have enough time and money to do this).
4. I can repay my parents for all their kindness and sacrifices in bringing me up.
5. I can help my brothers realise their dreams.
6. I can help others in need (charity).
7. I will have time to perform more ibadah (devote myself to Allah) - and this is of utmost importance - these days people are too busy climbing the career ladder to even pray anymore. And when they do have time they spend it wasting away.. and lastly
8. I can help others achieve their financial freedom too!

However, do note that being financially free does not mean that you have to be super duper billionnaire rich. It all depends on what you’re happy with and the net worth you’re aiming for. Some people enjoy life without having to be so lavish. And there are also many who live life in luxury and never feel they have enough. So in the end, you decide how financially free you want to be.

Hey, I guess I’ve already covered my whys of achieving financial freedom in the list above!

Now you do the same! Discover your whys behind your major life goals and you’ll have more reasons to move forward and take actions!

Johnny Wimbrey in one of his motivational talks advises that we shouldn’t be sharing our problems with other people. Because the more we talk about it and focus on it, the bigger it’ll become. Instead, when faced with one, we should confront our problems ourselves and speak to our problem. Or another way is to tell God about it through our prayers.

I’ve read that to be successful, you yourself must be bigger than your problems. That way you will regard challenges as opportunities. I really like this concept. And it works too.

Previously we are used to hearing people say, ‘Let out your problems. Talk to me about it..’ and doing that is supposed to relieve us of the burden. But in my opinion, I just think that by doing so you’re passing that matter to another person. Our emotions, our words, our thoughts are energy. Feed yourself with good energy and vibration, affect others with it, and more will return to you. And the same goes with negative energies, it just creates a cycle. Unless one really needs professional help, we shouldn’t be drowning others with our negativities. However, I must admit, that some people are more than willing to hear your sob story and sympathize with it only to share with you their so-called even bigger problems. And yeah, in the media world, sensational stories (break-ups, divorces, killings, tragedies etc.) sell like hot cakes. So what does that tell you about the masses?

These days, I try to fill my mind with affirmative thoughts. For that reason, I no longer wish to indulge in emotional blogging. Even though I must say it did alot to attract readers to my blog (and I must thank my readers for their kind words and thoughts), these days I wish to provide my readers with valuable reading material so that they can profit from it too. I hope you will all support me with my mission that is to make this world a better place through personal development.

I watched a DVD yesterday recorded from last year’s Success University (SU)’s Leadership Summit. The energy vibrating in that seminar room was obvious even from the video. SU members of all ranks gathered there (US) from all over the world, with Singaporeans representing the Southeast Asian region. As I watched, I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be great if our team from Malaysia could be there too..

Yes. That’s right, we now have a SU Malaysia team founded by Zamri Nanyan. I have mentioned it before in my Personal blog, but I want to repeat it here again. We have SU members from Malaysia now. And it’s one of those achievements that will allow our people to shine in the eyes of the world! But being a member alone would do us no good if we each didn’t take the necessary actions to ensure that other Malaysians too will take an interest in pursuing life long learning in the form of personal development.

During his motivational talk at the Summit, Johnny Wimbrey mentions about how it is more desirable to be a producer rather than a procrastinator. He goes on to explaining the differences but I’ll only point out a few here.

Producers are winners/the victors, while procrastinators are whiners/victims. Producers have winning mentalities and principles, while producers go about with their stinking thinking (negative thoughts).

Ok.. just another one,

producers are willing to be mentored, while procrastinators lack the value for advice.

Ok, (I can’t resist adding) last one,

producers are students for life (constantly hunger for more knowledge), while procrastinators only question life (and do nothing about it).

I, Azrina Aznan, choose to be a producer.

I have been reading up on Wordpress and it’s wonderful functions. I am finally starting to understand how it actually works. Not that I’m new to blogging as I’ve blogged with blogger.com for quite a while now and have gotten quite used to it. As with anything new, it is only natural to feel uncomfortable at first. But the more you work it, the more skilled you become.

The same also applies to internet marketing.

Let’s say you’ve just hopped on board a fantastic internet marketing opportunity. Take Success University for instance. You’re excited about this great personal development program which you know will benefit others as much as yourself. You can’t wait to get started so you dive in head on. You learn everything you can about your business from your mentor and other leaders.

After awhile you decide you’re ready as ever to promote your product. You begin by emailing everyone on your mailing list. You’ve already started a blog to share about what you’ve learned so far. You wait for any positive response to come through. Meanwhile, you follow your mentor’s guideline every chance you get (during those free hours as you are still working full time). You have people interested and most just want to think it over first. You think, not everyone recognises a golden opportunity when they see one. And if they do, not everyone jumps at it immediately.

Next, you try promoting your product offline eventhough your program already promotes fantastically online. You take out your list of prospects. Where to begin? A friend walks into your room, and you think ‘this is my chance’. You zoom in on him, words coming out slowly at first but then you grow more animated as you express your passion. Your friend however response to all this by giving you a shrug. Says he’s can’t afford to commit to such program as of now and makes his exit. You feel slightly dejected. But you don’t give up hope.

You decide you owe it to your friends to spread the words about your amazing program. You realise that if you don’t share it with everyone, oneday, when you’ve made it big and developed yourself into someone successful through your business, there are going to be friends who will ask you why you didn’t let them in on the life changing opportunity. You don’t want to let them down. So you persevere.

You begin to discover alot about yourself through your business: skills that you never knew you had, the joy of belonging to a dynamic team, your ability to lead your team to success… On certain days you may feel overworked and slow down abit. On other days you may feel a surge of energy and you charge straight on.

Before you know it, you’re already a Success University Ambassador. You rejoice in your heightened success through the constant effort you put in. You’ve managed to build your team and train many to achieve the success just as you have. You think, if I can do this, so can anyone. And if everyone can do it, then everyone would be successful, happy and rich! What a wonderful place this world would be!!

If that person I just described is YOU. Then click on your YOUR TRUE CALLING to begin!
