Preparing for my Vision Board…
March 24, 2007
When I first posted my intention to kickstart a Vision Board Experiment 2 weeks ago, a few readers wrote in and encouraged me in this endeavour. If you’re one of them, I sincerely thank you for the great support! Amongst the emails, the one from Cornelis Boertjens particularly touched my heart. Interestingly, Cornelis happen to be the CEO of one of the world’s online Vision Board Companies and his company has worked with renowned US motivational speakers like TSTN show host Vic Johnson and 3 time Olympian Ruben Gonzalez. Not only did he shower kind words on the articles that I’ve written, he has graciously sponsored me with a free copy of his Vision Board software for the purpose of this experiment. Cornelis, if you’re reading this, thank you so much!
Cornelis’ support has slightly changed the format of this trial. Instead of creating a hard copy poster board, plastered with magazine, newspaper cuttings and inspirational sayings, I’ll make use of the Vision Board software and demonstrate how it’s possible to do the same tapping on the power of technology. I’m pretty comfortable with this idea as it complements my lifestyle very well, especially since I work on the computer for at least 16 hours a day! Having an electronic version of the Vision Board also means, I’ll be able to whip it out on my laptop for a quick boost in the office, the library or at home. Cool! If you’re someone who prefers to work with the traditional poster board, no worries as I’ll cover that as well! Read more
How to Find a Good Mentor
March 17, 2007
When I opened my mailbox yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised to find 2 complimentary tickets to a wealth seminar, courtesy from my esteemed Credit Card membership with an offshore bank. After some due diligence checks, I realized it was actually a pitch preview for a financial wealth mentorship program. It was definitely enticing enough to just register and attend the course since it was free but somehow or rather, I couldn’t help wondering if it would be as good as it sounded.
I can’t deny the fact that with the abundance of such mentorship programs or protege courses nowadays, it has definitely simplified the search for a mentor. It’s really unlike me to be so skeptical, but, are the mentors from such programs genuinely concerned about growing my potential or just plainly interested in my money? I really don’t know.
In my opinion, it’s not just a matter of finding a mentor. It’s about finding a good one. Read more
