Success can be defined as winning the life game and everyone in this world wants to win. In fact, everyone is borned as a winner because you must be the winning sperm to outrun another thousands of sperms in order to penetrate the ovum and fertilize that egg to become a human being.

Thus, from the above context we can know that there shouldn’t be any losers at all in this world. Nevertheless, why are there still people who hang in the bottom of the world? Why are there still nations which are known as developed countries and undeveloping countries?

In reality, according to the Pareto principle, 20% of the humans will take control of another 80% of the humans. Thus no matter in any field, there will only be 20% who will be the winner. But the catch is there is not just one field or subject in the world but thousands and millions. So , no matter what, there will be different winners in different fields which in the end makes everyone the winner.

The top secret manifesto to success or the path to winning in a particular field is not easy but everyone seems to expect a shortcut to achieve it. This misconception is caused by some creative guys who claim themselves as success or peak performance gurus who can coach you to immediate success. For me, I don’t know if the participants will really achieve any success and I do not doubt it too but I am just sure that the “guru” has achieved success by making lots of lots of money.

Personally, I strongly believe that achieving success has no shortcuts or the fast track. We need to work hard on achieving success and it will definitely come to you depending on how badly you really want it. Nevertheless, we can outrun other people by working smartly but this doesn’t mean taking shortcuts.

First of all, to achieve success you need to have a clear target and goal. Normally, when I asked a lot of people who wanted success a very simple question, “What’s your goal” ? They answered me, “I don’t need a goal, I just want to be successful” After getting the ridiculous reply from them, I hesitated. That’s the problem nowadays, many people just want success but they don’t know what they really want. I know it’s a bit complicated here and let me show you an example. A world champion wants to win the world archery championship but with his eyes blindfolded. So no matter how good is he, he will definitely lose because he can’t see the target! This is exactly like wanting success without knowing where your goal and target is.

As a brief and quick conclusion, the misconception of achieving success nowadays are caused by some of these seminar organizers. Don’t get me wrong, Armand Morin’s Big Seminar and Anthony Robbins are the top guns! Besides, we should always remember that nothing comes easily but you need to work for it.

Hey folks,

Since mankind became civilized, money has always been the tool of trading and hope for one to live.Thus, without money the world will be in chaos. Imagine when money does not exists, people can’t take things without paying for it. Imagine going into a car dealer shop and drive a Rolls-Royce out without giving the salesman a cheque or maybe the salesman is not even in because of the non-existent of salaries. Why would people work? In the beginning, there may be enough stuffs for everyone but how about 10 days later? Can the world survive without “MONEY”?

Hey my dear reader,

I was inspired to write this post during my tuition time when the teacher wanted us to write an essay. Basically, the videos cover about why EDUCATION is so important but how the educators and communities are doing it wrongly.

Enjoy and please state down your comments

Hello folks,

It’s iYingHang here with you again and today I am very excited because I just read something about survey and the author was a kind of contarian and he talked about why survey sucks!

Let me put you into this position and imagine:

When you are at Disneyland and you are going to leave after 3 days of staying and playing there. Suddenly, one of the workers come to you and asked you, “Sir/Miss, I am a Quality Control representative for Disney groups and can I interview you about the quality of Disneyland, its resort and what should we do to improve it?”

You may answer,”Ok, should not be a problem”.

She may ask that, ” What do you feel, how’s the quality and blah blah blah…….”

You might answer without thinking, “Um….the foods is ok, the toilet is a bit smelly and clogged, the theme park is packed and blah blah……”

She then will ask, “What should we improve sir/miss and if we do improve, will you come again?”

You will say. “Everything you will think of……”

THE MAIN POINT IS HERE!

What is the use of this survey? You see, normally if you are from US and you are visiting Hong Kong Disneyland, will you really visit the theme park the second time if they do the changes and improvement?

IT’S A BIG NO!

I doubt that anyone will visit it twice. So the thing is this, why survey us if we surely say no? It’s ridiculous isn’t it? We won’t answer them no because it’s difficult to say it out because since they are asking us the improvement needed and we said a lot of stupid things and we still won’t visit after improvement.

IN THIS SITUATION, THE ANSWERS ARE NORMALLY FORCED OUT OF THE CUSTOMERS!

So why do a survey then? Wouldn’t it be so easy if you can just ask yourself the question and answer them yourself as the answers are all “FORCED ANSWERS”?

As a conclusion, I don’t really think that survey is necessary in this kind of situation but I don’t mean that we shouldn’t do market survey at all. I just mean that we should do the survey and research at the necessary time.

SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? Please write it down on the comment box below.

Let me tell you something, I’m sure that every time you go to the bookstore no matter Borders, Barnes & Noble or anything, you will definitely see some books on various niche written by so called “GURUS”! So are they really gurus? We’re not sure of that right? The most popular books sold are also on self-help and written by those GURUS like Anthony Robbins, T Harv Eker and so on but if you buy, read them, are you really successful? If not, why buy them? If yes, then shouldn’t the whole world be full of successful people?

But based on my own survey and observations, I find that normally those who buy those books never succeed or even change a little tiny bit. Funny isn’t it? Or irony isn’t it? A book which teaches you to be successful but in the end you changed nothing! Oh yes, something which is the less amount of money left in your pocket which you spent to buy those books!

I am sure you are wondering why? Why do people does all these things even though they still can’t succeed in life? You might think that are they specially stupid or retarded?

Just Let Me Open Your Small Eyes!

There is no such thing as GURU in this world. No matter internet marketing gurus, money making gurus, problogging gurus, there are no such things in the world! To be successful, you gotta “KILL” the guru. You must think that there’s no such thing as “GURU” in the world. You should imagine that every “GURU” has been killed and there’s nothing you can do except to try and do every plan of yours and kicked off the barriers holding you back.

This is a very easy question, if there are real GURUS in the world, why aren’t you already successful after going to their courses? I am not sure about getting loads of money after learning their techniques but I am just sure of one thing, “THEY GOT YOUR MONEY FIRST”!

Sorry for this late post as I’ve been setting up Windows 7 RC on my desktop and planning of using the desktop permanently.

My Window 7 Release Candidate

If you have a penchant for writing, it is highly recommended to start your career as a newbie blogger, it takes good amount of efforts, hard work and compromise at certain times to achieve a professional bloggers status. Though, quality article writing comes from deep within the comprehension of different subject matters and from the eye to catch happenings around the world from a holistic perspective. It is always recommended to start amateurish write ups to make a beginning at the first place.

To start with personal blogging, the writer should initiate sharing knowledge about his own personal experiences of the world and involve thoughts of his or her own opinion on subjects of his interest. For example blogging on the breaking news or the news which made headlines during the week. Once you start building your own information on subjects related to your interest it will gradually help you move to become professional blogger, as you come to understand things and it takes time to get mastery over different subjects and blogging is no exception. You will experience a lot of challenges and hurdles to over come in the way of becoming a professional blogger. If you hold your journey as your destination you will surely be on your way to become one professional blogger sooner than later.
Each and every blog has its own agenda, the main purpose of writing a blog is to ascertain that information is passed to the reader of the blog and promote such reading that could generate interest and earn advertisement or referrals. And there are some which are made to sell a products or services with an intermediary or affiliate. The best thing which comes out of providing such a blog of information to make Public Relations (PR) agent, because it combines both useful information of the product and the marketing efforts to create awareness.

One more important aspect of becoming a newbie blogger is they will provide a third party opinion and also a testimonial about certain product or service which the customer is interested in, which in turn makes you a referral to respective company whose product is getting promoted and you being paid for your work. Here, it is also to be noted that the phenomenon of adapting comes in and leads to the voice of personal blogging. It carries “I” phenomenon of marketing and private blogs are a great source of doing such a marketing effort. Readers are compelled to try out the service through such newbie blogs that they hear it directly from the horses mouth and not overhearing from some promotional agency.

The readers will get absolutely encouraged to try out the service as they have the first hand information about its functionality and usage from a fellow user. Though, blogging is not restricting oneself to promote services or products of multinational companies it is a good way to have a say and raise an opinion in building personal product utilization.

Words can affect everything in your life although they’re only a small part of the communication process. Words can always have a huge and big impact on those you’re attempting to persuade.

Using The Name In Online Marketing!

The most impactful word in the whole universe is our NAME! When we’re just a toddler, we hear our name over and over again called by our parents and relatives. You have linked it as getting attention and you very much like that! Most people have a first, middle and last name and guess what, we’re always identified by our first name. Let say you’re John Doe. Do you get the fastest reaction when people call you John or Doe? John right and that’s why for most people it’s the first name that carries the impact unless you’re from Mars!

Marketers always uses the first name like Mr Jankens, Ms Tanny or anything come off sounding like you’re a pitchman and the prospects doesn’t feel close to you. So why the hell should they buy your products?

On the contrary, researched done shows that if you use a person’s first name, at the very beginning or the end of a sentences, the percentage of successes to interest and persuade someone to buy your things dramatically increased. But this does not implies that you need to mention ones’ name over and over again as this might irritate them!

Examples are as shown:

• “Joey, do you think this machine will increase your company productivity with a 50%?”
• “This phone makes you look cool, don’t you think, Kery?”
• “Steph, do you think we could go out for movies tonight?”

The uses of an individual’s name is a powerful attention getter and it also acts in a highly positive associative manner with whatever statement or request is linked with it.

Using The Power Word “BECAUSE”

One of another impactful power word is “because”. When we were young, “because” gave us a very authoritative weight. In the future, this special word still carry it’s authoritative weight.

The Magical “Don’t” Word!

Expert says we can’t visualize the word won’t in our tiny miny brain and. Logically speaking, we can’t visualize the word because it’s not a noun or even a verb. Therefore, this word can influence others with super or even magical results. Don’t believe it? Try it!

Secrets Revealed!

Everyone loves secrets including me, you and even your mum! When you share secrets to your to-be clients, you’ll definitely get trust and instant sales!

By telling your clients some “secrets”, this shows you’re confiding in your clients and when you confide something in people, you’ll tend to get reciprocal behavior. Once this level is achieved, you can just persuade that person to buy your services or products!

Hello my current blog readers,

Are you interested in getting your sales up 10-20% monthly? Yes you’re,  but you might ask “How Do I Do So”? I am always interested in increasing sales, building rapport with friends and clients and also building network with important guys who you might need help in the future. Who knows that you might need him to get a graphic designed for you in an hour time when you product is going to launch? He can charge you a hefty price for that but he you’ve got great rapport, no fears my dear friend!

The #1 Law- Law Of Contrast

As you will have noticed if you’re a good observant, when two items are quite different from each other, everyone will see them as more different if they’re placed close together in time or space.

Marketers can be said to be always using the contrast principle to generate high volume of sales because it works effectively with no problem.

Here’s some examples:

• Once you’ve purchased a $1,500 personal computer, isn’t it worth $300 for the super extended warranty? (Well, the sales rep may fail to tell you that insurance for these computers may be way below the offered price!)
• A seminar by a famous speaker that’s about a few weeks long may be hang up with a price tag of $6000. Wouldn’t it be the opportunity of your life to be able to get the handouts and video of the seminar for $799?
• A internet marketing product with text, audio, video launched by a world renown marketer cost $1,238. The sales page will just give you a choice to buy either one format for $300. You would receive the same amount of information at a very low price. This is a very noticeable and perfect example of the law of contrast!

The only way on earth to influence the other fellow is to talk about what he wants and show him how to get it

-Dale Carnegie

The #2 Law- Law Of Association

People tend to buy things, services or anything that are endorsed by famous people that normal people respect.

If you would like everyone to be frenzy about your product, you gotta find people that are respected in every corner of the globe and get them to endorse your product.( Hefty fee may apply!) Regardless how your product sucks, because of the endorsement, people will hundred percent grab your things off the shelf even if it’s the first time due to endorsement!

• Sports cars are not sexy in any way. But a sexy model posing and promoting a sports cars can just persuade an onlookers to buy the sports cars even though those onlookers are not really interested.

Application:

Go get someone famous and popular in  your niche, contact them and persuade them to endorse your product. Either giving a fee or making out a deal, it’s your own way!

The #3 Law- Law Of Scarcity

When a person believes that something he might considering wanting it is limited in quantity, he will actually mentally believes that the value of what he might want is greater than if it were available in abundance.

Examples in daily life:

• A young girl who becomes disinterested in his present lover may well gain interest back immediately when she finds out her boyfriend is paying more attention to another young lady.
• People always believes that the sales at any departmental store will expire and end immediately the day stated and prices will never go so low again in their life!
• Adverts on television normally uses and apply the law of scarcity like “While stock lasts”, “Limited to 50 Early Birds”, “5 Copies Left”, “Supplies are limited” and “Ending Today”.
• Have you ever notice that when you’re opting in for a digital freebies or anything, you will definitely see a term like “30 Access Left”? Besides that, they might be using term like, “I am not going to buy this product and I’ll be sorry for myself when people are profiting like mad from this product”? These are all law of scarcity in work in online marketing!

Knowledge itself is power

-Francis Bacon

Application:

When copywriting, always remember to apply the law of scarcity because this often affect the prospects or clients’ sub-conscious mind without them knowing it!
