One of the important skill of a successful person, is that he or she is able to handle several things at the same time or is able to wear several hats or responsibilities at the same time.

Ever wonder why some people are more successful in what they are doing and also in life. The prime motivating factor behind it, is passion and motivation. Some would call it drive, etc. Motivation is more than drive and passion is more than motivation. I would be taking a holistic view of why drive, motivation and passion helps one find success in their own goals, life and businesses.I have this

TV Discovery Travel and Living, Europe Richest People, feature a number of rich people and how they started their business. Some of them have really humble beginning. The series also followed briefly their current lifestyle. Normally, one would have marvelled at the kind of life they are living now. I was thinking more intently how these people become successful. These people seems to come from a

In my short meeting with him, he shared not only ideas of doing eBay business and soft skills but also other business ideas. I think I managed to caught a glimpse of the entrepreneur mind in him.What exactly did I see?I see that he is constantly thinking of things and ways to expand or broaden his business and not just optimising as I mentioned in this "What I learned from Ben Dr eBay" post.

This an extension of time management. It is about squeezing out any of the available time and use it productively. What Ben suggested is that when you are travelling on a bus or train, you will be doing nothing much except standing, sitting or staring at the passing scenery. So, make use of this "idle time" to think of things.Why think of things?Part of time management, is to plan and think ahead

This is the very first of the self mastery topics that I will be touching on. Why self mastery.... it is because the path of success in life and entrepreneurship will have lots of difficulties and the chief culprit is the lack of control over one behaviour, thoughts or action. So, by mastering oneself, a person can take control of his/her own life and gear towards success and happiness. It is

Quote from a posting by Ben at IMS forum at here.What are SOFT SKILLS, to me they are things you don't learn in school like mindset, time management, entrepreneurship, sales psychology, product development and people skills. because at the end of the day all you want to do is communicate and build a relationship with your customer.I make use of the opportunity of meeting Ben and try to get him to

A quick summary of my first individual meeting with Ben.Met Ben yesterday to have a chat with him. Basically, it is some kind of interview done in a very informal way. He wanted to groom people who will not give up easily and chances of success is high. After a session of sharing of passions and ideas, he have a better idea of me and vice versa. Conclusion, he is not keen and I was turn down. On
