I just came back from this super-duper energy-charged internet marketing preview at AKLTG conducted by Stuart Tan, Founder of InternetMarketingSingapore.com. He was giving a preview about his upcoming action-packed seminar called Internet Money Secrets 2007.

One thing about his seminar (in this case, preview) is that its never boring, and it always seems that the seats in the room are always almost packed full!! In additon, he never fails to over-deliver on his preview, as we not only learn more about the convention (IMS 2007), we definitely learnt more skills and tips on starting our journey in Internet Marketing.

Some thoughts after the preview, 1 question Stuart posed to me is "Why are we here? Why Internet Marketing?" There are TONS of $$-making business opportunities out there like MLM, financial planning, property investment, paper assets investment and so much more. So why Internet Marketing? He gave us some reasons why:

1. Very low start up cost - Consider starting a traditional business, it may cost anywhere between $30,000 to $50,000 to rent the place down, excluding renovations, buying goods etc.

2. No inventory - Many ways to start Internet Marketing, I would a lot of ways one can start without having to stock up inventory, as most of the products are in digital-format. Unless you are bringing a brick-and-mortar biz online.

3. 24/7 - As the internet does not sleep, so does my biz on the internet. Hence, so long I automate and maintain my website properly, I can earn money even when I'm asleep.

For me, considering my circumstances, doing Internet Marketing is the best way for me to start a biz. As I am in school with literally zero biz experience and low on cash, Internet Marketing can be a good way for me to start to gain exposure and of course, earn money online. Moreover, as I have little time to spare, doing a traditional biz will take up too much time and hinder my studies, but I can put 2 hours aside everyday to do this.

For anyone who is keen to take a look at Internet Marketing, I will seriously recommend anyone to go for the preview.

Hi all!!

Pretty busy lately with school work as mid-term tests are just around the corner(in fact I'm having 1 tomorrow!!) So I will do my best to do a good sharing. :)

Besides studying, I'm also looking for opportunities to earn some extra income, hence stepped into the realm of investing. I recently bought OSIM stocks, this is a company that I have watched for a few months, and I never bought in earlier due to the stock going on a downtrend. After it tanked after it releases its annual report forecast, as the company reports a potential decline in profits for 2006.

Then after, it began consolidating sideways for a period of time, so I thought its a good time to buy some. I bought some shares at $0.94 on the 16th Feb.

On 22nd Feb, OSIM released its annual reports, despite an increase in revenue, the company registered a 28% decline in net profits. The funny thing is the stock price went UP!!



On the next day, it hit the $1.13 high!! My greatest mistake came when I thought the stock price will either go sidewards or up, so I bought more shares on the 24th at $1.13. Before 24th, I have already made a tidy profit of $600 if I sold all my shares.

For the next few days, the signs are not in my favour, the stock price is ding-doning up and down, and today, 27th Feb, it broke through my 8% stop loss support, went down to $1.01!! I know I can't let my emotions get the better of me by holding the stock any longer. So, I immediately sold my shares I bought at $1.13.

Guess what?? In this way, I made a bloody LOSS OF $600!! So, after adding up the brokerage fees, I will make a NET LOSS OF S$200.

As I am writing this blog, I reflected and realized that an emotion that an investor should not have has taken over me at that point of time, Greed... If I would have sold all my shares then, I would have locked in my profits, in my very 1st trade!! Not a $200 loss....

For the whole of today, when I'm in school, my thoughts are literally consumed by stocks and can't concentrate on the lessons. This thought me one thing, Do my best to restrict my investments to a small amount, and not let it affect my studies. As a student, I know my priority is in my studies, not investing..... yet.

What I will do from now on... Paper trade my way till I graduate, hold only 2-3 stocks with real money, restrict my overall stock portfolio to a mininum sum.

This is my commitment.

The Secret......

Okie, I got a link to the whole full movie of 'The Secret'!! Once again, this is a MUST WATCH MOVIE, whoever you are, whereever you are. This is a very important movie, not just because I recommend it, not just because Oprah Winfrey, Larry King recommend it. Its just you deserve this.

You will understand why, your life is such, why your life sucks, why some other is so rich beyond your wildest dreams... One powerful message I got from 'The Secret' is that, 1% of the population in the world owns 96% of the world's wealth is because they knew
'The Secret'....

Once anyone watches it, feel free to post your comments on my blog and share it with other readers here.

Here's the link again.

I have finished my 7-day mental diet!! Yeah, feeling darn positive right now, and yeah you're darn sure I will be carrying on this wonderful diet!!

If anyone is wondering what this is all about, its about challenging myself to close out all -ve thoughts for 7 consecutive days, only +ve thoughts are allowed into my mind. After 7 days, I really feel so powerful that I can achieve anything man!! This is the limitless power of the human brain.

If you are wondering why am I talking about the mind or something, or have I lose my mind... Well, I am came across this powerful movie called 'The Secret', most discussed on Larry King, Oparh Winfrey, Allen Dengeneres Show, its a documentary about the power of the human mind, and what amazing things you can actually do with it.

I have watched it 3 times, and will definitely be watching more soon!!

Apparantly the actual movie is taken out from Google Video, due to copyright issues. Its being replaced by reviews on The Secret by Oprah Winfrey, which is equally powerful. Listen to the way she talks about this movie, the number of people talking to her about this, how she applies this sub-consciously.

Must watch it!!

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!!! Alrighty, gonna have my reunion dinner in a few hours time, so think its a good time to blog while I have some time to spare :)

Reflecting back since my last CNY, many things happened, like quit doing MLM, getting interested in sales and investment, ORD, my 1st year in NUS Bizad, WA, POE.... Kinda make me think that these things happen for a reason, if all this did not occur, I may not be writing this blog at all ( Kinda Scary eh!!).

One of my mottos in life: " Things that don't break me, only makes me stronger". Throughou the year, it has really been a rollercoaster ride for me, suffering new lows, and also enjoying new highs.

Some things that pull me through this situations are support from my family, especially my mom, and most of all, MY DREAMS IN LIFE.

I'm a person that hates to live a life of regret, I don't want to reflect on my life when I'm dying, to ask myself why didn't I do this, why didn't I do that. I don't like that!! I am committed to fulfill all my dreams and goals, even if I can't finish them before I leave this world, I know that I have done my best...

Yep, some food for thoughts. ALL THE BEST, HAPPY CNY, All of us will definitely succeed!!
