What Is Your Childhood Dream?

What were your childhood dreams? Have you achieved any of them?

Here is one man who has achieved many of his. Randy Pausch is a computer science professor who is dying of pancreatic cancer. In a lecture delivered at Carnegie Melon University, he talked about achieving childhood dreams.

Here's the video and you must watch it. It's about 1 hour and 15 minutes. If you don't have time to watch it now, make time to watch it later.

I like the lecture so much that I also bought his book, "The Last Lecture". It moved me to tears.

Anyone Fancies Becoming A Real Estate Millionaire?

I was at Steven Molnar's Real Estate Mastery seminar last weekend. The schedule says it's from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. but he said that he'd stay as long as it takes to answer everyone's questions. He kept his word. I left at 11 p.m. because my brain stopped functioning by then and I could no longer understand what he was saying. When I left, he was still answering questions.

His seminar was loaded with useful techniques on how to invest in real estate. Of course there's the popular no-down purchase. He taught how you can own only three rental property and become financially independent on that property. Cool stuff. There are at least a dozen other techniques he taught. If you're serious about investing profitably in real estate, I highly recommend you attend his seminar.

Two friends and I decided to form a team and help each other in real estate investing. I'm excited and I'm a little scared. I like it when I feel scared - that means I'm pushing myself beyond my comfort zone.

I'll keep you posted on my real estate adventure.

Join The Achievers Club

I was at the National Achiever's Congress (NAC) last week. Among the speakers there were Joe Girard, Steve Linder, Roger Hamilton, T Harv Eker, Blair Singer, and Steven Molnar. A WOW experience.

My personal favourites were Roger Hamilton, T. Harv Eker, and Joe Girard. Watching Joe Girard spoke, you'd understand why he's so successful. He has such fire, passion and hunger for success that it's impossible not to succeed.

I'm going to share a few tips and quotes from NAC.

Here are Steve Linder's 7 Steps to Achieving Performance:

1. Authenticity and trust
   
2. Mastering meaning (nothing has meaning except what you ascribe to it - interesting... when you think about it)
   
3. Creating Your Vision
   
4. Finding your purpose
   
5. Mastering Strategies
   
6. Taking MASSIVE actions
   
7. Serving others
   

My favourite quotes:
"Failure is unplanned results." -Steve Linder

"3 most dangerous workd: I KNOW THAT." -Steve Linder

"Problems are a gift from God." -Joe Girard

"The name of the game is service." -Joe Girard

"The sales begin after the sales. Treat people good." -Joe Girard

"You have time to rest when you're dead." - T. Harv Eker

"Act in spite of fear. Act in spite of doubt, Act in spite of uncertainty. Act in spite of inconvenience." - T. Harv Eker

That's the gist of it. It's quite impossible to share everything I learnt there. If you missed the event, make sure you're at NAC next year.
