Highly effective parents are able to get their children to listen and cooperate with them because they have a strong level of rapport with them. Only when your kids feel that they can trust you and that you understand them, will they be more willing to listen and cooperate.
The challenge that many parents face is that they have a poorlevel of rapport wi ... Tags:Adam-Khoo
Discover Your Unlimited Potentials. By: Jimm Yim | - This is one of my favourite topics I love to write about. It is along the same topic as another article I have written some time ago called, You are the Magician of Your Life. As the title speaks, how do you discover your unlimited potentials?
I have always believe that, we can do anything we want, be anybody we want to be. We just need to focus on who we want to be and be it and live with it. If I would like to be an artist (Im really bad at drawing), I believe I can ... Tags:unlimited potential, ebook, life, focus, energy, adam khoo
Values, Your Driving Force By: Adam Khoo | - Have you ever wondered what really drives you in your life? Why do you do what you do? What drives your decisions and the choices you make constantly?
Our behaviour is driven more by emotions than by logic. What we do is based more on what we feel like doing rather than what we think we should do.
Logically, we know that we should take action and follow through on our goals but emotionally, we may be held back by feelings of lethargy or even fear.
If you are feeling confident, then you are creating that confidence within yourself. If you are feeling depressed, you are creating your own depression. When you are motivated, you are creating that state of empowerment.
No one or nothing can affect or change your state unless you choose to allow yourself to get into that state.
When A Goal Becomes A Must! By: Adam Khoo | - People who achieve their goals are those who are truly committed to get what they want. To them, their goals are not a mere wish or a weak desire. They are an absolute must.
When a goal becomes a must, we operate from a very different frame of mind. When something becomes an absolute must, we will do whatever it takes to get it (within ethical, legal & moral boundaries of course).
What Is Your Internal Representation Made Off By: Adam Khoo | - How do we re-present things in our mind? We do so primarily by seeing pictures (Visual), playing sounds (auditory) talking to ourselves through an internal voice (auditory digital).
Have you ever wondered how some people can jump out of bed feeling excited and energized every morning?
One thing is for certain, they run a very different program in their minds.
In other words, their internal re-presentation is completely different.
The Key To Absolute Power By: Adam Khoo | - Do you want to be in control of your life and create the results you desire? To be in a position of power and change whatever is not working in your life? Do you want to be able to change the people around you, the results you produce and even how you feel?
Most people believe that power and control are limited to the fortunate few who were born into power (e.g.: the tycoon's son), or acquire power through exceptional talent, business acumen or lady luck.
Want To Be Rich & Successful? Learn How To Sell! By: Adam Khoo | - I always tell people that the number one life skill you must have if you want to be rich and successful is that you must learn to sell.
The trouble with a lot of people is, especially those who are highly educated, with a degree or honours degree say, "I don't sell."
Being a degree holder myself, I think that it is the most stupid thing in the world. If I were to ask you, "Do you know who the world's greatest salesperson is?"
Why Most People Do Not Become Rich By: Adam Khoo | - The first reason why a lot of people find it difficult to make money is because there are many people out there who look for the quick and easy way to make money.
You see, a lot of people end up making the wrong decisions why they go into the business and some people think that wealth creation is an instantaneous overnight thing. I think there's so much hype about it that, you take a look at newspaper advertisements and it claims certain things about total earnings and so on. ...

Two Major Reasons Why Businesses Fail By: Adam Khoo | - There are some businesses that don't do well. Why is it that over 90% of businesses fail? What's the rationale behind it?

Starting Your Own Business By: Adam Khoo | - Some people would think that in order to start business, you need to work and that you need to accumulate capital.
There are two parts to this. The first is yes, you do you need a lot of experience to start a business. The second part is you do need a lot of capital.

Put Yourself On The Line! By: Adam Khoo | - Here is a strategy you can use to ensure you will achieve your goals. The secret is to put yourself on the line! In other words, put yourself in a situation where you have absolutely no choice but to achieve it.

The Incredible Power Of Beliefs By: Adam Khoo | - Why are some people able to achieve so much more out of their lives than others? Why are some people able to produce outstanding, extraordinary results, exceeding what is commonly expected?

Success Happens By Design By: Adam Khoo | - The following study was conducted at Yale University in 1953. In that year, a batch of fresh graduates was surveyed, and in this batch, only 3% had their goals written down.

Model Successful People's Physiology Of Excellence By: Adam Khoo | - Well, what do we model about a person specifically? Remember that one of the key things that drive a person's behaviour is the states that they experience.
People are successful primarily because they are in resourceful states. People perform the way they do because of the states they experience.
Why You Must Start Setting Goals! By: Adam Khoo | - If there is one message I must get across, it is this. You must start setting goals in every major area of your life. Right now, whatever your age, whatever you are doing.
Without something to focus on, the decisions we make and actions we take daily will not have any long-term direction, and will not result in any kind of achievement.
There are certain careers where the multiplication approach is already inherent in that business.
A very good example I can give you is the insurance business or financial planning. If you're a financial planner or an insurance agent and you sell an insurance policy, you are paid a commission. Now that is what we call active income.
Our System Has Conditioned Us For Failure! By: Adam Khoo | - In the Asian culture we have been taught to put ourselves down, most of it is due to the way that we've been brought up.
I remember when I was young , my aunt would use to come over and they would pass comments over to my mum saying, "Do you know, your son is really good at this"?
Then my mum would reply," Nah, he's quite stupid. He's not like that." This is precisely how we have been conditioned to respond in the Asian culture.

I have lost a quarter million dollars in one year that was invested in an Interior Design Company. The whole business went bankrupt. One of the lessons learnt from this failure was in the choice of my partner. I chose the wrong partner.
There are a few pointers you can take note of to make your business profitable.
Focus on the marketing.
In any business, number 1 is leads. Every single day, you have to track and measure your leads. How many leads did we generate this month? How many leads did we generate this week?
What We Focus On Affects Our Results In Life! By: Adam Khoo | - At any given second, there are two million bits of information bombarding us. While it is impossible to consciously be aware of everything, our mind tends to filter all this stimuli and focus on a few chunks of information at a time.
Similarly, when we think of something in the past or something in the future, we tend to focus on certain aspects of the experience. And to us what we choose to focus on becomes most real in our minds.
Three Major Keys To Powerful Goals By: Adam Khoo | - Are you ready to sit down and start designing the kind of life you want? Before we get started, there are three major keys that every one of your goals must have.
What Drives Us Forward? By: Adam Khoo | - If taking action is the key to producing results, why doesn't everybody take action? Why doesn't everybody follow through on their plans? Why is it that so many people know what they should do, but still don't do it?
The most common reasons are: 'I lack motivation', 'I'm too lazy', 'I don't feel confident' or 'I am afraid that...' Is this true for you as well? If you are like most people, you would probably be nodding your head.

The Transformation Of Meaning... By: Adam Khoo | - Imagine that the company you have worked so hard for in the last 20 years decided that it was time to retrench you because they can replace you with someone at half your salary. How would you feel?
What meaning would you give to this experience?
Most people would feel angry, bitter and rejected. Because it means that their source of income and security is gone, cut off.
Choose The Right Partners For Your Business By: Adam Khoo | - Before you partner with someone, find out about their history. Talk to people who have worked with them before in the past. Has the person ever cheated before? Has the person ever lied before? And the moment the person has lied or cheated before; never ever work with that person.
I've got friends who have made this mistake and they got cheated by their partners because they thought, the person would change. But this person cheated them at the end of the day.
How To Disassociate Yourself From Depression By: Adam Khoo | - Do you know someone who is always depressed? They may have had bad experiences a long time ago, but they still get upset by these long past incidents?
I had a woman client who told me that her life was full of misery.When she talked about her bad experiences, she started crying and got very upset. I found out that she had a pattern of associating into all her painful memories. So, even though these incidents took place about five years ago, she still felt extremely miserable whene ...

How To Magnify And Multiply Your Wealth By: Adam Khoo | - Let me give you an example. Let's compare a doctor and Madonna. Now who creates more value? Who creates more value per person? I would say a doctor because a doctor can save your life, a heart specialist. Madonna can only make you feel good about yourself by listening to music. But why does Madonna make, a million times more than a heart specialist?
Why? Because Madonna has this thing called scalability or leverage.
How To Motivate Yourself Naturally By: Adam Khoo | - Whenever people ask me, "Adam, what motivates you, or what motivates you or me?"

How To Control And Save Your Money Using Credit Cards By: Adam Khoo | - A part about being wealthy is learning how to control and save your money. Notice that I use the word control before save. That's because you can't save your money unless you know where it's going.
In fact, most of the people, when I congratulate them on their promotion saying, "Wow, you know I heard you just got a pay raise, so how are you saving your money?"
How Do You Make Money And Succeed In Business? By: Adam Khoo | - I've been to so many businesses and I've discovered that when you are in the right business, every one hour of effort you make millions of dollars. If you are in the wrong business, the wrong industry, you can put in a hundred thousand hours of effort, and no money will come in.
So you must be in the right industry, in the right business. There are just certain businesses that are really hard to make money and certain businesses which are really easy to make money.
For every north, there is a south. For every outside, there is an inside, for every crisis, there is an opportunity and for every heads, there is a tails. For every concave, there is a convex.
For everything that comes to an end, something new begins.
Overcoming All Odds! By: Adam Khoo | - We have heard so many stories of people who were born with all kinds of handicaps and despite all the odds stacked against them, they managed to create a life most others can only dream about.

Managing Our States For Peak Performance! By: Adam Khoo | - The notion of changing our physical body to change our states is not new. All the gurus who teach yoga, meditation, Qi gong and tai chi are masters at changing the physical body to effect a complete change of state.
Unfortunately, many people use external stimuli to change their physical bodies and states, which is good in the long term. For example, people use junk food, coffee, drugs, alcohol or cigarettes, all of which alter their biochemistry changing how they feel temporarily ...

Hot Buttons That Will Instantly Motivate You By: Adam Khoo | - One of the key things that people always complain about is that motivation only lasts for a few days or a few weeks.

Here are some of examples of the positive and negatives of working with partners shedding some light on the topic of working with business partners.

Fake It Till You Make It! By: Adam Khoo | - Have you ever wanted to be absolutely confident in certain situations when you were feeling unsure? Would it be empowering for you to get into a state of being totally motivated instead of feeling the usual lethargy?
Or how about changing your fear of going on stage to feeling enthusiastic & relaxed when you have to face an audience?
The answer is a definite yes. Wealth creation is a combination of rules and habits. Here's the number one rule, if you want to be wealthy, its not how much money you earn, its not how many cars you drive, it is how much you can save and invest and that's the key.
Here's a personal example I learned from my dad on saving.

Here's a real life example that shares what drove me to produce my best selling book.
Sell Your Book To Make It A Best Seller By: Adam Khoo | - A big portion about writing a best-selling book is not the writing only, it's the selling. That's why it's called "Best-Selling Book" and not "Best-Writing Book". You have to sell it really well.
Here are some of the efforts that I have taken to ensure that my books become bestsellers.
The first thing I did was arranging for a lot of book talks. Anytime I could get an opportunity to go out there to speak and sell the book I would do that.
If I Had Gone To An Elite School, Would I Be A Millionaire Today? By: Adam Khoo | - Recently, someone sent me an email saying that his life was full of problems. Everytime he solved a problem, a new one would emerge. 'Why can't goals be easy to achieve?' 'Why can't things go exatcly the way I planned?' 'Why is it that everytime I want to acheieve something, something will always go wrong?' 'Why Must Life be Filled with Adversities?'
What Determines A Person's Income? By: Adam Khoo | - Before you can increase your primary source of income, you must first understand what determines a person's income. Why is it that one person is paid $3,000 a month while another person is paid $30,000 a month?
Every time I ask this question to people, I get standard answers like, 'age, qualifications, experience, luck, title, special skills, specialized knowledge, intelligence and so on'. Well, none of this is really accurate.
Linear Income Versus Exponential Income Growth By: Adam Khoo | - When you focus only on increasing your value per hour and the time you spend, your income increases in a linear fashion.
There is a limit to how much you can earn a month, since there is a limit to the number of productive hours you can work. You are literally just selling your time for money.
For example, even if you are a top lawyer who earns $300 per hour and you can only work a maximum of 180 hours a month, your maximum earnings would amount to only $54,000 a ... Tags:money, success, financial freedom, wealth creation, adam khoo
