Can you become rich by investing in Forex?
We hear and see a lof of Forex Advertisment on Internet. They claim that you can become instant rich by investing in currency. It's not difficult to find and read about forex investment, forex tool and forex tutorial. It's true that some people make money one forex while other will lose money. It's possible to say that forex is cheat games, it's not real and it's manipulating other people wealth trough speculation. It's not wise to invest on something you can hold or you can't see. But for some people it's very profitable. There are many forex investment program. My advise is to start small and don't be greedy. I'ts look like a fun experience to see how many money you own or lose by looking at monitor chart screen. So enjoy and be careful. Be moderate and do it for experience and for fun. tq

‘Do it myself ’ mentality
Most of the houses he sold were worth about $2 million each.
Every time he closed a sale, he would earn a commission of 1%
or $20,000. Now, it took him roughly ten days of showing houses
to many prospects before someone eventually buys. This means
that each day is worth a potential $2,000! ($20,000 in commission
divided by 10 days).
Most real estate agents never become super rich because they
always have the ‘do it myself ’ mentality and dare not invest in
other people. But Dennis knew that if he were to hire an assistant
to do the paperwork and telemarketing, it would cost him salaries
of about $4,000 a month, or around $200 a day. However, if he
were to do all these tasks himself, he would save this $200 a day,
but it would cost him a potential loss of $2,000, as he would not
be able to spend this time showing houses! This would be a net
loss of $1,800!
How delegation can create more money?
Now among all my activities, which one do you think created the
most profi ts? The answer is when I was training. Every day I trained,
I earned for my business $5,000 (100 students multiplied by $50 per
student). However, because I had to do all the other activities, I only
had the time and energy to do a maximum of six training days a
month, thus the most I could gross was $30,000 a month.
I thought of hiring people to do the administration, logistics
and accounting but I was initially too stingy. I thought to myself,
‘If I hire an administrative assistant, I would have to pay the person
$2,000 a month’. ‘If I do it myself, then I would save the money!’.
What I did not realize then was that by doing the admin,
accounts, logistics and selling myself, I was actually losing money
everyday! Why?
You see, every day was worth a potential $5,000 if I spent it
doing training.
If I were to hire an administration assistant, I would have to
pay the person $2,000 a month, which works out to $100 a day
(assuming 20 working days a month). If I did the administration
work myself, I would save $100 a day. However, I would be losing
a potential $5,000 as I would not be able to be out training. So
although I save a potential $100, I lose a potential $5,000, I end up
losing $4,900!
The moment I realized this, I went out and hired an assistant to
take care of all my admin work like fi ling, answering calls, arranging
logistics, coordinating with clients and so on... This freed me of a
collective fi ve days a month which I could now spend doing training
and earning my business an additional $25,000 a month. Not bad, I
invested $2,000 to earn back $25,000!
Times equal money
When I talk about increasing the time you spend creating value,
I do not necessarily mean that you must work longer hours. Rather,
you must spend more of your time only on activities that create the
greatest value... that generate the most profi ts for your company.
Whether you are an entrepreneur or an employee, you will
have a list of things that you must do everyday as part of your
responsibility. You will fi nd that not all the things you do create
the same amount of value. There are some activities that create
high value while some activities are low in value. In fact, I have
discovered that most average income earners spend only about 20%
of their workday doing truly high value added activities while they
spend most of their time, about 80%, on low value activities like
checking email, attending unproductive meetings, chit chatting,
complaining, waiting, fi nding lost items... stuff that does not generate
profi ts or help clients meet their goals.
High-income earners are the opposite. They tend to spend 80% of
their time on high value added activities like business development,
closing sales, innovating new revenue streams, market strategizing,
following up with prospects, strategizing on how to improve
productivity, managing projects, getting feedback from clients...
stuff that lead to high customer satisfaction and higher profi ts!

- l Start a loyalty program
- l Give them a discount voucher off their next purchase...
Increasing Average Dollar Purchase
I gave you an example earlier on about the advertising account
director who was able to convince his clients to increase their
advertising budget. How? Because he showed them that by investing
an extra $300,000 in advertisements, they would be able to generate
$600,000 in additional profi ts. If you can show your clients that their
investment in your product will reap great returns, they will spend
more. So what can you do in your company? Maybe you can:
- l Bundle several products in a package
- l Create a ‘buy three get one free’ promotion
- l Up sell & cross sell
- l Educate your customers on your entire range of services
- l Do a complete needs-analysis to fi nd out how you can add even more value (remember the example I gave you about the insurance agent?)... and the list goes on.

many strategies you could use such as...
- l Creating a more flexible payment plan (0% interest installment)

How to Double Your Company’s Profits in Less than Six Months
Many people have asked me, ‘what can I do to increase my company’s
sales and profi ts?’. Whether you are an entrepreneur or an employee,
I am going to share with you a formula that you can use to double
the profi ts of your department or company within less than six
months. I call this the Profi t Multiplication Formula.
In any kind of business, profi ts are only determined by fi ve
variables: Leads generated, conversion rate, average dollar purchase,
average repeat business and net profi t margins.
Leads represent the number of potential customers or prospects
that the company generates through walk-ins, inquiries, cold calls
& recommendations. Let’s say that out of every ten prospects, two
eventually end up buying, this means that the company’s average
conversion rate is 20%.
How do you create value?
There are only two ways you can create value for your clients.
Either:
1. Help them reach their goals faster and more easily or
2. Help them solve their problems faster and more easily.
Either:
1. Help them reach their goals faster and more easily or
2. Help them solve their problems faster and more easily.
What some peole are rich and some are not?
Your Income is A Refection
of the Value You Create
Let’s fi rst focus on how your income is determined by the value
you create. Well, let me give you a metaphor. Recently I went to the
mall to buy a new mobile phone. When I found the mobile phone
shop, I saw all kinds of brands and models on display – the price tags
they carried all differed widely. I saw a Sony Ericsson 910i model
that had a price tag of $1,400 and a Nokia 2600 with a price tag of
$238. Now, why is one mobile phone priced seven times more than
another? The answer is simple. It’s because one phone has a lot more
functions and can hence create a lot more value to the user.
The Sony Ericsson 910i is able to make calls, send & receive
SMS, send & receive MMS, record and edit videos, play & edit
music, take high quality pictures, surf the internet, entertain with
games, send and receive emails, has word processing and spreadsheet
capabilities, has Bluetooth technology and has an in-built personal
digital assistant. In short, it is not just a phone, it is a mini computer!
It does a lot more than expected (remember millionaire habit 1).
It creates a lot more value for the user by allowing him to achieve
his goals more effi ciently.
So let me ask you a question. Which mobile phone do you
represent? What is the price tag that you carry? If you want to have
a higher price tag and have people pay for you, then you must create
the necessary value!
What allows the Sony Ericsson 910i to create so much more
value? The answer is that it has a lot more software installed. How
does this translate to you? Well, in order for you to create a lot more
value to your company and your clients, you must keep upgrading
your knowledge and skills, your intellectual capital!
How to create financial plan?
As you can see, different cash fl ow assets give you different rates
of returns and while some require lots of capital, others require
mainly the investment of time and ideas. For example, if you were
to rely purely on high yielding bonds of 8% return, you will need
$600,000 to generate $48,000 a year ($48,000 ÷ 8%) in passive
income (i.e. $4,000 a month). If you were to create a home-based
Internet business, a $2,300 investment could through time and hard
work, generate you a monthly $4,000 cash fl ow. Stay tuned on how
you can possibly do this in the coming section on ‘Creating Multiple
Streams of Income Online’.
Simple tips to become millionare
Spend Less than You Earn. Invest the Savings for COMPOUND GROWTH Until You Accumulate a Portfolio of POSITIVE CASH FLOW ASSETS that Generate Enough Cash Flow to Sustain or Exceed Your DESIRED LIFESTYLE.
Rich Cash Flow
So how do the rich manage their money? How do they achieve
a level of wealth where they do not have to work if they choose not
to? Those with the wealthy mindset adopt a ‘earn, save and spend’
habit of managing their cash. They set a specifi c target of how much
they want to save every month, usually 15%-20%. They deduct this
savings from the income they earn and spend the rest.
Unlike those with the ‘middle class mentality’, the rich mindset
motivates them to take their savings and invest in Positive Cash Flow
Assets that will generate returns and appreciate in value. They would
rather put their money in carefully selected stocks, mutual funds
and businesses than to splurge on the latest LCD Plasma Television.
Although they may buy a few luxuries to pamper themselves,
their Positive cash fl ow assets far outweigh their Negative Cash
Flow Assets. As a result, the additional passive income generated
from their investments outweighs whatever expenses they incur on
these ‘extras’.
How to become millionaire with money
In the New York Times Best-Selling book ‘The Millionaire Next
Door’, Thomas J. Stanley interviewed 300 self-made American
millionaires to fi nd out how they think, how they earn their money
and how they spend their wealth. What he discovered was a shocking
revelation that made his book an instant best-seller.
It was discovered that many people who had high paying jobs,
drove the latest luxury cars and wore the latest designer clothes
and who appeared to be have millions to spend, were usually broke
with a low personal net worth. Most of these professionals and
senior executives of multi-national companies were what he termed
‘Under Accumulators of Wealth (UAW)’.
In contrast, those who were actual millionaires (that is those
with a net worth of over US$1 million) lived very frugally and
well below their means. Eighty-percent of them were born poor or
from middle class families. They wore inexpensive suits and never
bought a watch that cost more than S$500. Most of them drove
secondhand cars, never bought the latest models of vehicles and they
usually invested a minimum of 20% of their income in the stock
market or private businesses. He termed these people ‘Prodigious
Accumulators of Wealth (PAW)’.
I must admit that when I was much younger, I too had the same
distorted beliefs about how real millionaires lived. When I was a
kid, I used to admire and envy people who drove the latest Porsche
Boxsters and who lived in Penthouses and lived lavish lifestyles. My
millionaire Dad (who never bought a brand new car in his life until
he turned 50), used to tell me that these people were in reality quite
broke and it was really the bank who owned their houses and their
fl eet of cars. He said that they were one paycheck away from going
broke. I never really understood what he meant until much later on
in my life.
Common Negative Beliefs & Associations About Money
After conducting this exercise with thousands of people in different
countries, I have found the following common negative associations
consistently being revealed. Do you share any of them?
- l Money is the ‘root of all evil’
- l Money will make you materialistic
- l Money will make you less spiritual
- l If I became wealthy, I will lose all my friends
- l Money doesn’t grow on trees
- l Rich people are greedy and selfi sh
- l Rich people are stingy
- l To get rich, you must be lucky, dishonest or really smart
- l Money will not buy you happiness
- l Money isn’t that important anyway
- l To have more money, I will be depriving others of it
- l If God wanted us to have money, he would give it to us
Millionaire Habit 9: Respect & Love Money
The fi nal and one of the most important wealth habits is to respect
and love money. I don’t mean loving money to the extent that you
are a slave to it, but loving money for the good it can do for you and
the people around you.
Most people I share this with often respond by saying, ‘Well,
of course I love money! Of course I respect money.’ Who doesn’t?
If I didn’t love money for what it can do, I wouldn’t be reading
this book.
Well there are many people who consciously desire to be rich and
know that money is important. However, at a deeper level they may
not realize that their subconscious mind either holds many limiting
beliefs about money or associate lots of negative feelings towards
money. These negative associations cause them to repel money and
prevent them from becoming rich without even realizing it.
I remember a time when I gave a seminar to a group of teenagers
nd I was teaching them about the power of spotting opportunities
nd taking action on them. I took out a $10 bill and said that I was
elling it for $2. I waved the bill in my hand for a good 10 minutes
sking if there were any takers, but none came up. Eventually, one boy
hesitantly came up and took the money. ‘Buying this $10 note for
$2 represents a great profi t opportunity, so why didn’t any of you
come up?’ I asked. The answers I got were: ‘I didn’t want people to
think I was money-faced’, ‘I did not want to cheat you of your money’,
‘I thought it must be a trick’. In other words, what prevented them from
taking action on any opportunity were the
limiting beliefs and associations they had formed about money.
The scary thing is that the same thing happens in life! Why is it
that some people see and act on money making opportunities
everyday while others just don’t see them? Again, it is because of
the beliefs that have been formed in their subconscious mind.
Millionaire Habit 8: The Ability to Turn Failure into Success
The fi nal millionaire habit is the ability to accept failure and to
turn it into success. Most people have the impression that successful
people never fail and that millionaires never lose money. As a result,
many people fear failure and shun those who have fl opped. This is a
huge lie and distortion that prevents people from becoming rich.
The truth is that everybody fails at one point or another. In fact,
millionaires fail more times than anybody else because they take so
much more action. I have made countless stupid mistakes, lost a lot
of money and have failed so often that I have lost count. So mark
my words, you will fail many times before you ever succeed. What’s
important is what you do about failure. This is the critical habit that
makes the difference between the rich and the poor.
There are three ways people respond to failure. The fi rst group
of people get so disappointed by their failure that they just give up!
They would say, ‘I tried it but I failed’ or ‘I tried investing but it didn’t
How do I know if I am truly passionate about something?
Whenever I teach this in my seminars, people will always have
two more questions for me. The fi rst question is, ‘How do I know if
I am truly passionate about something?’ To fi nd the answer, just ask
yourself this question, ‘If I had all the money in the world, would
I still be in this career/business?’ If the answer is ‘yes’, then it is truly
your passion. If the answer is ‘no’, then you are defi nitely in the
wrong industry. In fact, when I had the opportunity to interview
the top insurance advisors in Singapore (I specialize in insurance
sales training), I found that those who were highly successful,
earning over $500,000 a year, had one thing in common.
Millionaire Habit 5: Do What You Love
The most common question that people ask me about getting rich
is, ‘what is the best career or business that will make me the most
money?’ Should I go into education? Food? Insurance? Network
marketing? Heathcare? Options trading? Property? What’s the best
industry to be in right now?
Well, you will fi nd that in ANY industry, there will be a
minority who will be making plenty of money, while the majority
will be struggling to survive. You hear stories of insurance agents
earning $600,000 to $1 million a year (many of them are my
personal friends). Again, this is the minority. The majority will be
just making enough to get by. Many people see me in the children’s
education business making millions and think that it’s a lucrative
business. Again, what they don’t know is that I am in the minority.
The majority of businesses in education are struggling to survive. So
my answer to that question is that you can become a millionaire in
ANY INDUSTRY, only if you are one of the best! If you are not
one of the best, you will never become rich in ANY industry.
You CAN become a millionaire in insurance, property, options
trading, children’s education, pest-control, retail, food or Internet
marketing ONLY when you are one of the best. So, how do you
become the best in the market? The answer is by being totally,
absolutely one hundred percent committed towards your particular
career or business. People become the best at what they do only
because they eat, sleep, breathe, talk and think their business
eighteen hours a day (sometimes, they even dream about it as they
sleep). In other words, they are obsessed with doing what they do
and are constantly fi nding ways to do it better. And the only way
you can become totally obsessed and committed towards something
is when you have a love and passion for it!
Millionaire Habit 3: Take 100% Responsibility
As this wealth habit has already been introduced and explained
in the earlier chapter, I am just going to just mention it briefl y.
Wealth habit number three is the habit of taking responsibility
for your results and wealth! Unfortunately most people choose
to adopt the victim’s mindset of giving excuses, blaming and
complaining. Remember when you give excuses to yourself
(i.e. no time, no luck, no capital, no experience, etc...) or blame
others for your lack of wealth, then you are putting others and
external events in control of your life! When you are not in control,
you do not have the power to change your circumstances.
Instead, millionaires take 100% responsibility for their wealth.
They believe that they alone create their wealth through their
strategies and actions. As a result, they know that they have the
power to change their wealth by changing their strategies and
actions. It is only when you live by this habit will you have the
power to exponentially multiply your income and wealth.
Millionare mindset 2: Be proactive
People who are
proactive are people who take the initiative to make things happen.
When there are no opportunities, proactive people are those that go
out and fi nd opportunities. If they cannot fi nd any, they will create
their own opportunities. When problems get in their way, proactive
people will take action to solve their own problems!
On the other hand, there would always be an even larger number
of people who will just stand around and wait for others to come
and shake their hand. These people exhibit the reactive mindset.
People with the reactive mindset have the habit of waiting for
things to happen to them. They tend to act only in reaction to
others’ actions. As a result, they have a lot less control and choices
over results that affect them. When no opportunities present
themselves, reactive people just sit and wait for the opportunities
to come to them.
Why 90% business failed?
As an entrepreneur today, you must do a lot more than expected
in order to run a successful business and create wealth! In the past
economies were a lot less competitive. In the past, when a business
performed below customer’s expectations, they would be struggling
to break even. If a business met their customer’s expectations, they
would make good profi ts. If a business exceeded their customer’
expectations, they would become a market leader and would earn
huge profi ts!
Why do over 90% of businesses fail today? It’s because markets
have become so much more competitive. If you start a retail store
you are competing with hundreds of others, both locally and
internationally! Today, if you perform below customer’s expectations
customers will never come back and you will go bust! Today, i
you meet customer expectations, you will still be struggling to
survive! Why?
This is because hundreds of other businesses can also meet your
client’s expectations, and some of them do so at half your cost. You
will fi nd that you will be competing on price most of the time and
will earn so little that it is hardly worth your while. I have seen
so many business owners struggling to break even simply because
what they offer is the same as every other business in their industry
In today’s marketplace, if you exceed your client’s expectations
you will only earn nominal profi ts because many businesses already
do their best to add more value to their clients.
So how do you make huge profi ts and become a millionaire
in business today? The answer is that you have to go way beyond
your client’s expectations. You have to give them an unbelievable
experience where they will keep coming back to your business and
tell all their friends about you. You must set your standards so high
that they will never go to anyone else for that particular product
or service. When you highly exceed your client’s expectations, you
can charge a premium and make huge profi ts. This has been my
secret of success for all my businesses and I want you to learn this
same secret right now!
Why millionare is a value creator?
It is not something you are born with, it has got nothing to do with
your academic qualifi cations but it is a habit of choice that anyone
can adopt. Value creators have the habit of doing a lot more than
expected. If they are paid $3,000, they will work as if they are being
paid $20,000. If they are expected to generate $10,000 worth of
profi ts, they will create $30,000 worth of value! They are called
value creators because they create value for companies. It is through
their efforts, that the company makes more and more profi ts every
year. As a result, their income is not considered an expense to the
company, but a great investment.
Even in periods of downturns, when everyone else is getting
retrenched and pay cuts, they get pay increases, bonuses and stock
options. The company knows that for every dollar they invest in
them, they will return triple the value. These people are the high
fl yers who get promoted super fast and get their incomes doubling
and tripling in a few years.
In the past, income was based mainly on seniority and loyalty.
The longer you stayed, the more you were valued. In today’s world,
income is based entirely on the amount of value you can create. It is
not uncommon to see people who are much younger, with a lot less
experience directing businesses and earning lots more than senior
workers who have been with the company a lot longer.
Value creators are indispensable assets to their company! They
are very hard to replace. And that is why companies will pay them
more and more and offer them partnerships to retain them. Value
creators are never out of a good job. They are usually head hunted
by other companies all the time, the head hunters offering to double
their income if they join them. So, the fi rst unbreakable habit of
wealth is to do a lot more than expected. In chapter 6, you will
learn specifi cally about how to create massive value that will lead to
massive income!
What is Millionaire Habit 1
Always Exceed Expectations
Before I explain what this first habit means, I want you to list down
in the spaces below, at least fi ve reasons why becoming rich is
important to you. Why do you want to make more money? Is it
to provide your children with the best education, to have peace
of mind or to have the freedom to travel round the world? Unless
you know WHY you want to be rich, you will never have the
passion to go for it. Take as much time as you need to list down
the reasons
DO MORE THAN EXPECTED
Create Value
DO EXACTLY AS EXPECTED
Sustain Value
DO LESS THAN EXPECTED
Reduce Value
Indispensable Asset & High Return
Investment to the Company
Dispensable Asset & Low Return
Investment to the Company
Liability & Expense to the Company
How to protect your million dollar?
There is no use working hard to build your personal fortune only
to see it all taken away from you. There are many people who have
taken decades to build their fortune only to see it wiped out by
an accident, unforeseen illness or through an unexpected lawsuit.
Self-made millionaires engage professionals like insurance advisors,
lawyers and accountants to help them build a fi nancial fortress so
their wealth is protected from potential creditors, plaintiffs looking
to sue and the government who may take away a big chunk of your
wealth through a whole range of taxes that you may not have even
heard about.
How to grow money to a million level
By increasing your income and reducing your expenses, you will
fi nd that you will be able to accumulate a surplus of funds that
you can use to help you build your fortune. You need to do this
because, no matter how hard you work and save, you will never be
able to create phenomenal wealth unless you learn how to put your
money to work for you. Through the power of compounding, you
will be able to take small sums of money and build it into huge
returns over time.
All self-made millionaires attribute a huge part of their wealth to
their investments because they know that just working for money
will never make them rich. It is when you allow your money to
make you money that substantial wealth can be created.
If you’ve had the bad experience of losing money in stocks and
mutual funds and resigned yourself to believing that the only safe
way to invest is to put your money in the bank and get 3% returns,
don’t worry. The strategies that I will be sharing carry minimal risk.
Remember self-made millionaires are shrewd risk takers and this is
very different from being gamblers.
How to manage income
Many people think that by increasing their income, their wealth
will automatically increase. Unfortunately, increasing income is only
one side of the wealth equation. After all, there are people who
earn $2,000 a month who are broke and there are those who earn
$20,000 who are still broke. The reason is because when we don’t
manage the money we earn, our expenses will always rise to our
level of income, wiping out any surplus we have! Or worse, we start
spending on credit lured by easy repayment schemes. Millionaires
become rich not because of how much they earn, but rather how
much they are able to save and invest.
Why most people never achieve their financial dreams?
Most people never achieve their financial dreams simply because
they have no fi nancial plans and haven’t got a clue as to how to
create one. They just work hard and hope that everything will be
okay one day. You cannot leave your fi nancial future to chance,
you have got to plan for it. While there are great fi nancial planners
around who can give you some sound advice, you must ultimately
take responsibility and develop your own plan! After all, it is your
life we are talking about.
What is millionaire mindset?
First, learn and adopt the mindset of a millionaire. Millionaires
think very differently and that is why they take different actions
and produce vastly different results. Self-made millionaires have a
different set of beliefs and habits that allow them to see opportunities
where others see problems.
Millionaires see learning experiences, where Mister Ordinary
sees failure. The moment you adopt the beliefs and habits of a
millionaire, your perception of the world will change completely
and you will realize that there are money-making opportunities
everywhere and everyday around you.
Amazingly, these are opportunities that you were once quite
blind to!
How to win Money Game?
You see... making money is a game. If you learn the rules of this game, money will ? ow into your hands. If you do not play by the rules, you will struggle all your life ? nancially despite working very hard. Haven’t you ever asked yourself why some people earn ? ve times, ten times or even twenty times more than others? Is it because they are twenty times smarter? Is it because they work twenty times harder? Or are they many times luckier? The answer to all these questions is a resounding ‘NO’! I am sure you know people who seemed to be much lazier than you in school and had poorer grades but now they are so much more successful ? nancially. Although their school report card used to be chockfull of ‘F’s, their ? nancial report card carries straight ‘A’s. Why? The only reason is because they know how to play the game of money whereas most people have not learnt how the game is played. You see... none of us are ever taught how to make money, how to invest money or how to manage our wealth and yet money is the most important subject in our adult lives. Although many people say that ‘money isn’t everything’, that’s only a half-truth. The truth is that ‘everything is money’! In order to achieve excellence in the different areas of lives like our health, relationships and family, we need to be ? nancially secure!
To be financially secure means to be ‘Free’ – free from being hounded by creditors to pay one’s rent or the hospital to pay one’s bill. To have suffi cient money to feed oneself and one’s family, to pay for basic needs and to pamper ourselves with luxuries once in a while. It also means the ‘freedom’ to walk away from a job, a company, an employer, one cannot stand and have the option to be employed or self-employed doing something one values and finds fulfilling. No one can quarrel with this defi nition of the need to
have enough money.
