Great great Sunday..

Today have been really a magnificient day for me. I told myself that I would start the day positive and you know everything went SUPERBLY WELL!

Firstly I managed to solve the $2 profit idea…In fact $1.50..but what the heck..

Then I brought my mum around for Hari Raya outings and I thought I would be dead bored following her around but at every single place that we went to, there was something GREAT to learn..:)

First place: Ustadz Abu Bakar Travels - They have a gathering for Ustaz Abu Bakar students. There I met a few people I know, I think her name is Syikin, a secondary school friend. Hmm didn’t knew that she was learning from Ustadz Abu Bakar.. Then I started to talk lah to the Uncles around me..yup every where was people above 50 but its ok. I just shared my stories about business and so on.

When my mum was still busy talking to her friends and I don’t have anyone to talk too, I took out my book “Magic of Thinking Big”.. I bought the book way back in Uni days but I never finish it.. So today I decided to bring it along and read it if I had the chance.

There was a bookmark where I left it off a few years ago. So I continued from there..

It pays to make “little” people feel like big people.

…. Make someone feel important and he cares for you. And when he cares about you, he does more for you.

 

That was the first paragraph I read…yes its just one paragraph and it really touched me. I began reflecting the people I’ve looked down at and the people I’ve mocked at. Yes Fadzuli is also HUMAN and we do make the mistakes. So that paragraph is a reminder for me to always humble myself and treat everyone with respect and insyallah if possible empower them at all times.

Second place: We went to Toa Payoh next. I had this opportunity to speak to this young boy, age 8. While my mum was talking to adults I spoke to this boy, Khairul. Initially I wanted to ask him very simple and standard questions but the conversation went through the process of  dreams and ambitions. 

I realise that children really have BIG dreams… I believe ADULTs should talked more to children about it. Really it helps, it helps to see their excitement and their energy when they talked about it.  The way Khairul talked about his dreams inspired me…Infact I find this boy much more mature than his age. It was really wonderful just talking to him.

Then I asked him about school how he was faring? You know he failed all subjects except for the Malay Language for his mid year papers. What would a parent do when you know that? I think by now, you guys would throw your kids to tuition centers right? Hmm perhaps I would but I identified a talent in this kid…He was a very good STORY TELLER and he was the type that was not afraid to talk to people..”Such a TALENT is very rare for a YOUNG BOY…”.

Before leaving the house, I manage to talk to the father and  I ask him about the kid. He told me that Khairul is very resourceful, he dares to talk people and make connections. At that age, he is already doing that..Goodness I wish I can be like him at that age..haha… I think by the time he is and adult, he would have known thousands of people. 

“Its about WHO YOU KNOW NOT WHAT YOU KNOW”

 

3rd place: At Yishun: This is where I met up with Bro Juraiman. Bro Juraiman is actually from MUIS and he asked me about how I could help him to use portals to help raise funds for the upcoming Mosque Upgrading Projects. We had a swell conversation there. Yes a potential project to work on. :) 

Slowly but surely people are starting to see the POWER of the Internet. When we started www.islamicevents.sg one year back, it was very difficult to convince MUIS but now people are starting to realise it.. So you see sometimes you just need to start something and eventually the doors of OPPORTUNITY will open for you. Visions of yester years are slowly coming true. Stay TRUE to what you do and keep on doing it.

4th place: Ang Mo Kio Ave 4. This time we went to Zuhaili’s open house. Kind of a big occasion cos they did it at the void deck. Here we met an old friend who is currently doing TRANSFER FACTOR.. He’s doing very well now as he has already started venturing out to Malaysia and Indonesia. TRANSFER FACTOR is a MLM business ya.. 

We shared some great values with each other and we talked about the concept of MONEY and BUSINESS. 

Quote..

 In fact doing business is not only about creating wealth because it creates wealth within that person.

Meaning doing business not only will you learn about money, it also teaches you about life, about freedom, about choices, about decision and many more. 

 

5th place: Cik Yah & Family - Ang Mo Kio Ave 10

Every year when I come to this humble home, it really emphasize the importance of having PASSIVE income because Cik Yah is taking care of her mentally ill 51 year old sister. 

Imagine if she, her husband and her family is not around anymore. Who would take care of this mentally ill sister? Then how can PASSIve Income work here? Yes if you know what to do and learn about Inheritance better, you can actually put a WILL to have your assets into helping the NEEDY even after you leave this world.

I do once a while think about what will happen when I leave this world. What I would leave behind? And have I contributed enough to society to have a place in Heaven. 

6th place: At Bedok Reservoir

This is the last place. I’m looking for sales people for my exhibition next week at EXPO for the Asian Muslim Consumer Showcase.  

We are given a 3 metre x 3 metre booth for a very very good price for 4 days from 24th to 27th October 2008. 

So yeah I found my two sales people here. 

Requirement to take the job:

1) Prior experience in sales would be great!
2) Must be interested in sales.
3) Be willing to accomodate to Islamic Clothings. I’m running and Islamic Company thus the image must be right too.

4) Can work for 4 days straight. There’s shift..

So we are looking for 2 more helpers if interested, contact me ..fadzuli@islamicevents.sg 

Its easier to teach people to do sales when they are already interested to do it.
