Endorsement from B & G SOFA:

“From 3 days to few hours”

I have attended Kent Lau’s Excel Intermediate training in June

2015.

At the end of the training, not only have I learnt the new Excel

knowledge, but he has also solved one of our tedious operation

processes – counting number of items done by each employee

that used to take us 3 days.

He is able to deliver an Excel based solution right after

listening to our problem. He is able to reduce the analysing

process to few hours. From 3 days to few hours, this is

excellent.

Furthermore, with his new Excel complex formula, we have

identified errors that cause by analysing manually. As we

based on this analysed report to pay our workers, this can

translate to monetary saving.

Kent Lau is indeed helpful, knowledgeable about Excel, and

able to answer most of our questions.

We are in the process of engaging him as consultant for further

work.

Endorsement from MediTech Media:

“He has been very committed throughout the

3 months.” “Due to his extensive experience in Microsoft Excel Macro programming, I

approached Mr. Kent Lau to assist us with developing a complex automated

database using the Microsoft Excel Macro software.

I am pleased to say that I am very happy with the services Mr. Lau provided on

this project as he very easily understood my needs, he just seemed to “get it”

with very little explanation.

Also he has been very committed throughout the 3 months this project has

taken to complete, as well as forthcoming with ideas and suggestions.

Mr. Lau was also very prompt and accommodating with any requests I made.

As a result he has helped to deliver a database which functions exactly as

required; it is user friendly and includes some extra functions to allow the user

to make administration changes to the database to ensure the database is kept

current and up to date”.

I would most definitely would work with Mr. Lau on future projects, and

certainly recommend his Microsoft Excel Macro programming services to other

companies.

RAHSIA #2: TAKE ACTION

“Keep away from people who try to belittle your

ambitions. Small people always do that, but the

really great make you feel that you, too, can become

great.”

– Mark Twain

How did I start?

Hi, my name is Kent Lau Chee Yong. You may ask what

made me want to be a writer and how I get to this point?

Here’s a clue:

24

Many of my friends would discourage me, telling me that it

would be impossible to write a book and I quote “it is

impossible to write a book”, but is just not me.

One of my mentor, Blair Singer, might be the cause of me

wanting to spread the teaching. So I put those theories to

the test to see whether it would be of any use for anybody.

After much testing and researching, the first book was

born.

Everybody has something to give, something to offer,

even if it’s already been offered before.

You have a different way of looking at it.

Your idea may appeal to millions of people you’ve

never met before who think the way you think.

Blair Singer

“A successful corporate trainer

firmly believes in their personal

value.”

Take Note

Or

Take Action?

“A lot of people love to attend seminars, workshops

and all kinds of courses. They take a lot of notes but

not action. If you don’t take any action, all these

training and courses will be a total waste of time and

effort.”

KC SEE

Author of “You Can Create Wealth”

27

RAHSIA #3: BANTU ORANG DIDAHULUKAN

“Action is the foundational key to all success.”

Pablo Picasso

I discovered the law of success after I got retrenched from

my company.

“Raise your hand if you want to be successful in life?”

I mean it. Literally. Put down your book and raise your

hand in the air.

Excellent and give yourself a pat on the back for raising

your hand. Welcome to the first step of your journey to

success.

The secret, being successful means to willingly receive the

help from others. That is why all the successful people that

I know are always willing to help those who ask for their

assistance.

28

There is a backdoor to getting any kind of assistance.

Would you like to know what they are?

Again, raise your hand if you want to know.

The secret of getting help from others lies with yourself.

Only you can break the wall between you and them. First

be thankful to yourself then widen your scope of gratitude

to the others around you like your spouse, your loved

ones, your parents, your siblings. As you learn all that, you

will begin to extend your reach to your colleagues, your

higher ups, your chauffeur, your neighbours, your school

teachers, your mentors. The list can go on.

Why would you want to help others you might ask?

You might feel the sincere gratitude when that someone

you helped thanked you for helping them. Deep inside,

you will feel appreciated. Being appreciated feels good

and not many people have the opportunity to experience

it. So be thankful. That will lead you to a more successful

and contented life.

29

I have to thank God for being so gracious towards me.

Without him, I won’t have the time or opportunity to even

start writing a book. Not only did he bestow me the idea,

he also gave me the courage, time, and support to

complete this book. He challenged me in different

scenarios so I could have the life lesson and experience to

share with everyone today. Through the hard times I come

across, my path leads me to becoming a successful

corporate trainer. And I am the living proof of what

success is about.

I am grateful to be born brilliant. The father moulded me

remarkably well I must say but nobody is perfect.

Everyone have the ability to craft their own lives to their

own desire. The difference is whether they want to or not. I

am here to guide. To make your desires, wishes, fantasies

become a possibilty as I have already made mine into

reality.

To be a successful and competent corporate trainer, you

will have to start with a positive mindset (a successful

state of mind).

30

Before discovering this secret

I had a really tough life before I came about this secret.

It was hard to enjoy much less love my job as a

programmer.

I could not acknowledge the clients who would put their

trust in me.

I own a lot of material things in life but I was still not

satisfied with it.

I have no aim in life.

I feel powerless in my daily life.

I couldn’t find a girlfriend because all I could think of is

how I could acquire one and not how or what I can give in

return. Ok. I might be exaggerating a little when I say I

couldn’t find a girlfriend. I did have girlfriends before but I

never really appreciate or care deeply for them.

Who would have thought that I was facing all these

problems because I didn’t think positively? Lacking this

one mind set could just blow my life to pieces.

I was not ecstatic when I received my salary. I worked for

it so I deserved the money anyway, I thought. I did not

think to thank the company, or the HR department. There

31

was no reason for me to thank them. All I cared was the

money.

My first job as a programmer was to assist in designing

the e-government project. That was in the year 2000.

Even as my first job, it didn’t excite me at all. Only the

amount printed on the payslip interest me. I have the

don’t-care attitude the entire time.

I hate OT (overtime). Imagine doing extra work for no

extra pay during the night when everyone goes back home

to relax but you. Of course I would be reluctant to agree.

This was the kind of life I had lived without this mindset

that would push me to towards fulfilling greatness.

So, what is this mindset that changed my life totally, You

might wonder. I was brought to a whole new world. A

world that I didn’t think was even possible for someone

like me but it did.

I begin researching this mindset theories after I got

retrenched. Retrenchment hit me really hard.

I start to examine my life in and out, day after day, during

my retrenched period. I couldn’t fathom why I was

retrenched or why I was unhappy with a paying job in the

first place. I couldn’t understand it. One of my friend

showed me a video. I watched it over and over

32

consecutively. Then it hit me. I finally figured it out. I finally

understood why I was the way I was in the past.

So what’s wrong with me? It is my mindset. I do not have

a thankful mindset.

There is a Chinese saying that goes like this “助人为快乐

之本” which means helping others is the source of

happiness.

This is very true. I began to dig deeper into my research

on this topic. Through the sources that I acquired from the

video “the Secret”, church’s teachings, and seminars that I

have attended had convinced me that it is because I lack

this mindset, my life was a mess. Thank God, it was not

too late for me to change.

33

Can I master this mind set in just minutes or even

seconds?

The answer is ‘no’. For me, I had to continue re-watching

“the Secret”, read more self-help books, and listen to

people with established success principles in order to

change my frame of mind. Keeping logs on your small

successes can work wonders in keeping you moving. So it

was a successive change rather than an immediate

change. I don’t think anyone could simply change an

entire perspective overnight. Successiveness led me to

success!

At night, I read books like “the Magic” and would practice

the given steps. I would hold a stone and think of the

greatest thing that had happened to me that day. Having a

daily recap of the good things that transpired on any given

day helped me a lot in gaining a thankful heart.

Are you in the same situation I was? Unhappy and full of

complaints about everyone and everything? Always

blaming others and feeling as though everything you do

has no meaning? Let me tell you, I was just like you. I felt

so helpless and lonely. I even read self-help books with

titles like ‘How to make friends’, but I wasn’t motivated or

convinced enough to practice what those books

suggested. Perhaps I needed that one turning-point in my

life to shake me up.

34

While the retrenchment hit me badly, it took a while for it to

make its full impact on me.

It forced me to think and re-examine my life.

It forced me to think about the hard questions like, “What

am I going to do with the rest of my life?”

My first answers were colourless. Get my pay check, go

for a movie or many movies, find a girlfriend, buy shoes,

play computer games, pay bills, repay debts, buy another

car…

Is this what life is? Is that all life has to offer?

I want to share this with all of you here despite it being a

risk, because I want you all to know that if you’re in the

same situation feeling the emotions, you are not alone.

And the good news is that just as I have eventually

changed, so can you.

35

I am no better than you

Or anyone for that matter. I only mastered this one mind-

set through months of training and persistence, and I am

certain that you can do even better than I did. Now, I am

thankful for everything I that I have and I want to give back

to the world. Having a grateful heart has helped me garner

a lot of support, and I began to experience the world

differently.

Looking back from now to when I had my old mind-set, so

much has changed and I now have positive feelings for

positive things.

Here’s how I think now:

• I was excited to be chosen in the implementation

of a new e-government project called Payment

Gateway. I was happy to be able to utilise the

new knowledge I had for Java programming.

• I was excited to land a sales deal. In fact, it was

a great sales deal, and I was chosen other my

competitors!

• I got married. Finally. Not because I was getting

older but as things go, it was the right time and I

finally found The One. My grateful heart

recognised the celebration and allowed me to

36

fully experience it. Imagine how silly I was in

believing that I would never find her and be

happy!

• I was no better than the other corporate trainers

out there, but was still a frequent choice for

companies looking to update their staff on their

IT skills. Perhaps they felt my sincerity and liked

it.

And now, I have the opportunity to share my experiences

and work with you all. And I am most blessed that you

have chosen to read it.

See, the key to greater success in life is not to just have

better Excel skills, better presentation skills, a better

lifestyle, better car, better house, better mobile phone,

better pay, better friends, etc. etc.

The key to success is to be thankful whenever you receive

something because it plants the seeds for your greater

success. I believe that my greatest success comes from

always being thankful for the positive events of today and

of what the Universe is to bring in the future.

In the chapter Law of attraction, I’ll explain what I mean by

“what the Universe is to bring in the future”.

37

How to be successful in life?

You need people to help you.

You need lots of people to help you.

All millionaires know this well. All great rulers know this

secret very well.

The question is, why should I help you to become a

millionaire or a great ruler?

Why should you be helped?

Let me explain myself. I willingly attended T. Harv Eker’s

course for a couple of thousand. Why? Partly because I

can sense that he genuinely wants to help me. I believed

that he could help me and he did. He is sincere and

grateful towards everyone. You would know what I mean if

you met him.

Why should God bless those business tycoons?

38

Write down your answer here.

………………………………………………………………..

………………………………………………………………..

………………………………………………………………..

………………………………………………………………..

………………………………………………………………..

………………………………………………………………..

39

Being a corporate trainer means working for the

companies owned by some of those business tycoons. If

you don’t have a good impression of them, it would be

very difficult to get hired.

If you can’t be thankful towards the government, you won’t

secure government jobs either. I received training

assignments from government agencies because I let

them know that I appreciate them having set in place a

good system for us. Reading less newspapers helps

enhance what little time we have in our short life span. We

merely occupy a space in this world for about 80 years or

more. We don’t have much time to blame or complain.

Whenever we thank the government, we help create a

good energy that can impact many people in a positive

way.

Why should I help you?

Why should you help me?

Is it because I forced you to buy my book or my products?

You know, you can’t force someone to buy something

unless they somehow already want to buy it.

Was it my sincere gratitude that got you to pick up this

book?

40

YOUR TASK TODAY OR THIS WEEK

Find a person to help

Make a record of how you helped them and why you

helped them.

How did you feel after helping them?

Here’s an example:

Help the janitors that work hard to maintain daily

cleanliness for us.

How, you might ask? A simple thank you, a smile, and/or a

small token will suffice in letting them know you appreciate

them working hard at their jobs. In my experience, it is not

common for them to receive even a simple ‘thank you’ or a

smile. The rarest of all would be receiving a small gift.

Even though they are already getting paid to do this job, it

is a mentally and physically difficult job that pays them

very little. Not many people would take this job by choice.

Why do I suggest doing this? Because to the furthest of

my capabilities, I made it my personal mission to help as

many people as possible have a better life.

41

The feeling I get from doing this is wonderful. I feel great

knowing I can give help to others just as help was given to

me when I needed it.

This became daily practice for me after I met a Form 2

student who was persistent in aiding those in need. When

I asked him why, he explained that his father taught him

so. I was touched and amazed, and swore to uphold the

same. This student’s name is Joseph Lim.

Do email your experiences to me as I would love to hear

all about them. Being able to help others by passing on my

knowledge and advice brings me great joy.

successful in corporate training,

learnt to be helpful. Practise it

every day.”

RAHSIA #4: MINDA CERMERLANG

“Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us

just get up and go to work.”

Stephen King

I am an excellent learner. When I was studying, I worked

hard at being a student not because I wanted to score A’s

in my exams; but to become a better person so that I

could help other people succeed in class too. Today, I do

all that I can to help more people achieve success,

financially and emotionally.

I am a

• software developer (Java, Excel, and Excel macro)

and consultant

• corporate trainer (Excel and Microsoft Access)

• motivational trainer

• project manager

• business owner

• business coach

45

• and again, an excellent learner who is great at

implementing what I’ve learnt.

I am a perfectionist. I will continuously go over each

aspect of my life until it is perfect.

I have an extremely important message for my readers

who desire achieving greater success in life:

Are you willing to learn from me?

I graduated as a computer science student and worked as

a software developer for the first few years after that. I

never imagined myself having to sell something to

someone as a job, but I one day became a salesperson by

chance. It was hard at first but after a while, I had obtained

the tools and secrets of success and could confidently

market and sell my services competently. I even started to

enjoy this unplanned part of my career. After some time,

another door of opportunity opened to become a corporate

trainer and I jumped at the chance.

On the course to becoming a successful corporate trainer,

I struggled like how many successful people did on their

way to the top. But I was willing to change, I decided to

change, and I was eager to learn.

I had no idea that there was so much of Excel to learn. I

was only familiar with basic functions such as inserting

46

and deleting columns, rows, and worksheets. Today, I

have a much firmer grasp of Excel than ever before.

Corporations are willing to pay me to train their most

valuable asset: their employees, who are always

constructive with happy feedback. Every successful

business that I know of uses specific tools to help run the

company, and Excel is only one of them. Think about what

tools your company and employees use. Without these

tools, it would be more difficult to attain and exceed the

company's goals and your own goals.

To date, I have successfully trained 150 corporate leaders

and 2000 of their employees.

Over the years, I also developed tools for my own

business to use and now, to share with you. With these

tools, I am sure that you can attain the kind of

achievements I am proud of today and perhaps triumph

even better.

I have another reason for choosing to be so open. This

particular, unfortunate event that occurred in 2013, turned

my world upside down and again drastically shifted my

mind-set. How could it not have changed a person?

My wife and I were expecting a healthy baby. We were so

excited as it was our firstborn child. My wife delivered a

47

beautiful baby boy but unfortunately, he had stopped

breathing from inside his mother’s womb. Our first child

was stillborn. Our dear son had left us early to be with

God. Imagine how short his life turned out to be. He had

barely gotten to live. It took us quite a while to get over it.

It was very difficult to pull through, but it made us realise

that we may not live as long as we expect. Who knows

what might happen tomorrow? We may not get to share

what we had wanted to share with everyone.

After getting much better from the heartbreak, it hit me, to

write a book. Why not put this to action now, I thought.

After many suggestions put my way, I decided to write this

book that year (2014).

• I had written a set goal,

• Appointed a time and date for when the projected

was to be started and completed by,

• Had a date confirmed for publishing (30th March

2014)

My life might be short but it means something to me.

When you realise that you are only given a limited life

span on earth, you probably wouldn’t have time to blame

anyone anymore. You would probably work hard for the

48

remaining time you have and to share the happiness you

have with the people around you.

When challenges come your

way, a successful trainer will

choose to learn from it.

- KENT LAU

Have You Practiced It?

If you know this secret, have you practiced it? Have you

stop yourself from reading newspapers in the morning?

Your thought is a powerful weapon.

If you have already come across this secret, help spread

the word. Assist them in their path like I did. The

profession you possess does not matter. Be it a teacher,

an author, a coach, a trainer, a tutor, a student, or even an

IT geek. This law applies to you. It applies to everyone.

I hope that with my life experiences, my reference about

the ‘law of attraction’ will inspire you and many to come. It

affirms you in creating the life you really want. You can

have all that you desire if you would just believe it.

In fact, I rewrote my experiences and reread it again. It

helps me see how lucky I was all these years. With God’s

blessing every step of the way.

“A successful corporate trainer knows the

power of the words that comes out from

his/her mouth. When he/she speak, it

creates a predictable result.”

RAHSIA #5: BERTENAGA

KUAT …SANGAT KUAT

” Spend eighty percent of your time focusing

on the opportunities of tomorrow rather than

the problems of yesterday.”

Brian Tracy

Does having more money make you happier?

…………………………………………………………

What makes you happy?

…………………………………………………………

What makes you feel down?

…………………………………………………………

How can you make yourself happy?

…………………………………………………………

53

By reading this chapter, you shall witness one of

my secret weapons to defence against the

“unhappy” virus from entering my mind. I have a

super shield that protects my mind from thinking

negatively. Do you want to know? Yes? Join me.

First, take out your pen and jot down an event or a

task that you have just concluded well yesterday or

the week before.

54

Ok. Have you write it down yet? Yes? I believe you.

Have you notice that by just simply writing

something like this down you have motivated

yourself? You have just learn how to motivate

yourself.

I don’t teach anything that I don’t practice it myself.,

period.

So here’s mine

I think my mind prefer something structural. I know

what I need to write down. Mind set, you set your

mind with a certain structure., and your mind will

then work accordingly.

55

So why recording your successful moments a

matter at all? Why is it really important?

Take your time and write your reasons as to why

here.

1 ………………………………………………………

2. ………………………………………………………

3. ………………………………………………………

56

What's the problem we are trying to address here?

Do you ever feel down?

Do you ever feel powerless?

Do you fear going to work?

Do you fear closing a sales deal?

Do you fear hearing the word “No”, or the word

“stupid” from others?

Do you feel like you can’t do anything well?

Do you feel like you are incapable of anything?

Do you feel you’re worthless?

Do you feel that what you have (your knowledge) is

of little value?

Do you belittle yourself often?

Think about it. If you do feel incapable of doing

anything, then what is the basis of your claim to

empower others? Can you make those you claimed

better than you?

57

Happy trainers have a unique selling point as to

which they are more than able to secure a

corporate deal. They have high positive energy and

an aura that pulls people to them. People like to

associate themselves with positivity.

So, is being happy one of the important

characteristics of a successful corporate trainer?

I would say yes. If you are happy, most likely you

would know your own value which makes you

confident.

Why does a person feel incompetent?

What did they do to feel this way or what they did

do?

A few years back I begin to wonder what the root of

the problem is. It might be the lack of confidence, or

even lack faith in God or they don’t believe in God

to begin with. It kind of made sense then until I met

T. Harv. He reveals the number one reason as to

why people feel incompetent is because they do not

acknowledge that their own ability could reach

greatness.

58

He quoted this “Success breeds success, if you

can’t recognize your little achievements, then you

can’t have bigger success”. I know you want to be a

top-notch trainer, teacher, tutor, coach or a top

student because you are reading this book now.

Do train yourself everyday. If you can’t do it

everyday, try training weekly. Would you want to be

a top notch trainer, teacher, tutor, coach, student,

or maybe an excellent parent?

If your answer is yes, then you must follow the

steps accordingly to ensure success.

Follow the steps every single week.

Will you be willing to carry out my instructions if

feeling capable is being guaranteed to you? Will

you gain more confidence by being assured? Will

you be always happy?

You might already know this, but:

Did you do it?

How often do you do it?

What exactly did you do?

59

Are you ready to become more powerful in the next

30 minutes?

Yes. Please consider reading.

No, why?

________________________________________

So, how did you get into that state?

Reminder: If you have yet to recognise your own

abilities, you might not know yourself very much.

Knowledge is the key ingredient to your success.

Measure your own strength. The things that you

can do and the things you experienced in the past

can build up your confidence. Everyone obtain their

own esteem differently. Some may come slower

than others but at some point, to attain success,

one must have adopt some confidence somehow.

HR Managers would prefer to engage a confident

trainer than an indeterminate one.

If you are determined in being the best in either top

notch corporate trainer or your dream profession,

record down your achievement (small or big) every

week or day (preferable).

60

I call this powerful tool the “Success Recording

Tool” (SRT). It may seem a little too simple to

believe in, but it has the power to give you an

instant charge of power.

Start writing down your first successful moment.

If you find it too difficult to get pass your obstacles

now, you could always contact me. I have a team of

professionals to coach you towards victory.

If you have printed or written down at least 6 of your

successful moments, Congratulations. Give

yourself a pat on the back. You have just taken an

amazing first step towards achieving your goal(s).

How do you feel now?

Step 2, activating the power of this tool:

Shout it out loud.

Have you already said it out loud now?

61

Step 3, increase the power of this tool:

Record your triumphs and listen to it repeatedly.

Does this actually work for you? I am not sure

about you, but it did sure worked for me. Listening

to my own victories made me more confident.

Did the technique work worked for you when you

have tried it out?

If it did, please share this tool with your friend and

family too.

I created this method on the morning of 10 March

2014

I wrote down the idea as fast as possible when the

idea hit me. Later, I restructured and further

improved on the theory.

62

How and when can you use this tool?

When a stranger, or a colleague, or even a friend(s)

shoot hurtful comments at you like “you are

rubbish” or “you are useless” or even “you are

stupid”, won’t you feel like that as well?

I recalled my childhood days when some of the kids

would yell “You dumpy buffalo” at me time after

time. I really feel like punching the kid in the face or

anyone that calls me that. I fear hearing the word

‘dump’ or ‘buffalo” or when it’s placed together in a

sentence. I would scream at me mom because I

was upset but it was not my mother’s fault. I did not

want to do that but I could not control myself when I

was at that age.

What is this mindset that made me act out that

way?

Was it that I can’t control my temper, I eat too much

red meat, not enough rest, or was it simple just too

hot? What else can I think of that explains my

behaviour? As a kid, I tend to act upon my actions

to solve basically everything. Why?

63

I read somewhere that it might be the term called

“self-image” but I do not think it is so. What kid

would think of something so complicated as this?

Even adults have problem figuring it out

themselves.

I think the reason behind such behaviour are

because I am trying to figure myself out. I have not

look at myself yet. Really look into my true self.

I would not stop and assured myself otherwise

when someone were to call me ‘dump buffalo”.

Would I have taken a look at the mirror and tell

myself “hey, I am human, not a buffalo”, everything

might have been better.

You are being called stupid at work by your

colleague after making some mistakes. You

become angry almost instantly. Why is that?

You don’t know how capable you are. You have no

records of your. Not recording your successes is

like waiting for bad news. It could happen in the

next few seconds, the next few hours, next few

days, weeks, or even years.

64

When your boss calls you names, “Are you

stupid!?!?!”, just walk away politely. Don’t think

about the negativity he, she, or they can drag you

in. Just use the SRT method. Keep reminding

yourself of your own successes.

You are a magician. You can turn lemons into

lemonades. What I mean is you can turn the

negativity into something positive. When you take

advantage of your negative situation, you are in

turn changing the course of your unfavourable

standing.

Go ahead and frame your achievements where you

can see them. It will remind you of your capabilities

such as receiving a certificate upon completing the

course.

When your boss told you that “you are not good

enough for the task, don’t worry about it, just be

confident. You know you are capable. It is all you

need to know that is important, to believe in

yourself. your confidence is based on this powerful

tool – Success Record Tool.

Your confidence is widely based on this SRT

method.

65

When someone calls you names, just walk away

and give the other party to calm down. As for you,

use your SRT.

One of the things that I learn from a self defence

class is that if you can avoid it, avoid it. Only fight if

it is the last option of survival. Escape if you can

even if you are already a master level at kung fu.

Choose to avoid even when you know you can take

on the other party. The first thing the master will

teach you in self defence class is if you can run

away, choose to run away.

What do you do when you come into a

robber/kidnapping kind of situation?

1. Run away

2. Run away

3. Run away

Last option: Fight your way out, then run away.

Avoid!

Do you think Superman will rip open his shirt and

reveal himself when his boss criticise him? No. He

66

won’t. He would continue to do what Clark Kent

does.

Now, how did he achieve that?

His superman suit inside his normal clothes is a

reminder who he is. He never loses his identity as

superman and his alter ego identity as Clark, a

reporter and columnist.

So, do you have the “S” logo on your chest?

Would you want one? You can have it. Your “S”

logo is the SRT. The successes you record

everyday is like your badge. You can carry it to your

work with you, restaurants, at home, anywhere you

want. To increase the power of the badge, just

reveal it to yourself, read and/or say aloud

repeatedly. Like a chant or a prayer, you recite your

successes until you fully charged your motivation

and confidence. You can now say you are capable

proudly.

You are the best in your profession. Write down at

least 2 of your successes. Record it now.

67

It would only take less than 7 minutes to write and

record it. You can do anything when you set your

mind to it. So what are you waiting for?

“Do unto yourself as you

would have yourself do unto

others”

What you do to others greatly determines on how

you do unto yourself.

If you loathe yourself, how do you learn to show

affection for others?

If you want to admire others, you must first learn to

admire oneself.

In our business trainings, we have mutual

acceptance and trust between the trainers and the

trainees. We are not training machines but human

beings. Human being needs affection and

acceptance to live emotionally. You need to show

your participants sincerity and respect in order to

68

obtain their full cooperation and trust. So first

acknowledge yourself and your strengths.

VERBAL PROGRAMMING

I learn about verbal programming from T. Harv.

Eker.

What is verbal programming? This is where one

would declare something to themselves repeatedly

and thus believing in that proclamation after

consistently affirming themselves of that claim.

Example: If you keep telling yourself “you are

smart” everyday, you would believe that you are.

By telling yourself the same things everyday, your

brain will eventually be convinced of it.

Do this repeatedly, non-stop for a whole 3 minutes.

Close your eyes and say it.

69

You can have all the reasons in the world to resent

yourself but you can also have reasons to love

yourself. There must be something about yourself

that you like. Find at least 7 reasons why you like

about yourself. It doesn’t have to be something big

or small. As long as it means something to you.

Start with 7 reasons first. The verdict is in your

hands whether you choose to like yourself or loathe

yourself but loving oneself usually leads to them

being happy. In fact, I like you already. Reading this

book only means that you are willing to change and

improve yourself for the future. If you are not, you

won’t be reading this book. Now, is that not

something applauded for? You are willing to

advance yourself. What’s not to like?

I like you. I like myself.

70

I like myself.

Just write down the above words (I like myself) 3

times, and read it out loud.

You cannot make a difference?

“There are two types of people who will

tell you that you cannot make a

difference in this world: those who are

afraid to try and those who are afraid

you will succeed.”

Ray Goforth

72

RAHSIA #6: ???

“There are two types of people who will tell you

that you cannot make a difference in this

world: those who are afraid to try and those

who are afraid you will succeed.”

Ray Goforth

When you feel the fear coming or venturing into a

new thing, read this part carefully.

Fear only comes when you lack or have no

experience in the very thing you are about to

venture in. It is always scary to step out of your

comfort zone.

Example: When you first start to communicate in

Mandarin (you don’t speak Chinese at all), you

might hesitate or avoid it completely because you

have no experience in speaking the lingo. You

might also wonder if you will be laughed at because

73

you pronounce it funny. And that creates a negative

vibe to you.

*And you pictured it; visualize it, giving more energy

to grow that “Picture in your mind”.

You mind can challenge your greater faith. You

could do anything once you set your mind to it.

When you have achieved that level of maturity,

nothing can stop you.

So be prepared to be laughed at by others when

you start doing something new, like when you have

your first try at communicating in Mandarin.

Be prepared to be laughed at, criticized, or even

scrutinized by others.

But know this:

They might laugh at you now, in a few years, they

won’t be laughing at you but laughing with you

because you will be able to communicate their

language flawlessly enough to joke about with

them.

74

Another hidden fact:

Many will laugh at you but there are some that will

admire you from a far giving you a little smile of

encouragement.

Set an example and people will follow.

Those who are successful don’t have the time to

laugh at those who are improving their skills but

they are willing to help if they are asked.

Those with short vision can’t see your growth so

they tease and humiliate the current you. Who

knows, your growth might trump them when they

least expect it.

Those with a vision put their faith in those they

meet because they put their trust in themselves for

choosing those selected few. So put all your focus

on those who succeeded.

75

While practising self defence with master Yew Jin, I

discovered that it is better to avoid than to find a

cure. He told us his story as to why he had chosen

to walk away rather than confront the person who

had smash into his car. If he would had chosen to

fight, he will definitely win. No doubt Master Yew Jin

has a strong defence but he also have a strong

offence. “Not that I am scared of him, I simply

chose to avoid it by driving away. I won’t confront

people unless it is necessary, unless my loved ones

or my life is in danger.” Master Yew Jin added.

So what did I learn from his story?

Not to fight unless it is life or death kind of situation.

Whenever you are thrown in this situation when you

are humiliated by someone laughing at your

mistakes or the ugly rumours spread about you, just

walk away. Those mistakes that you committed are

very common. Everybody have had made such

inaccuracy before. And those rumours spread

about you are a misconception of your true self

being portrayed wrongly to the masses. So why

should you challenge such situation when you know

that those rumours are inaccurate and those

76

mistakes you made are common? Avoiding it

doesn’t mean you fear the perpetrator. It just means

that you want to refrain from creating a greater

blunder from it.

Try to connect with people with the same goals as

you. Ergo, if you want to master Mandarin, group

with people who also wants to mater the language.

I did mention this a few times already in this book.

Join a group that will motivate you to better yourself

not destruct you.

What do you do if you can’t find such a group?

Create one of your own. “I create my life” told by my

mentor T. Harv. Eker. You can gather people using

WhatsApp or Facebook who have the same or

similar interest.

77

You can choose the one that helps you .

toward your goal. Circle it.

78

RAHSIA #7: YOU ARE SPECIAL..Very

Special, too special

Brendon Burchard, the author of “The Millionaire

Messenger” said this “What you know is valuable.”

Sometimes you need people to remind you of that

because you will forget when you are too busy with

work, life, or even family matters.

I got something valuable that only I have. It is my

experience.

Everyone have experiences but what make it

valuable is how we experienced it and how we

learnt and conclude it. And that makes each and

every experiences made valuable. What make me

special, different? It is my experience of course.

People go through life experience differently. Not

one person will have the same experience due to

their thoughts, their characteristics, their behaviour,

and their emotions. They might experience

something similar but never the same.

79

Blair Singer (my mentor) strongly emphasises:

You’ve got something so important; it is your duty,

to share it to with the world”

In T Harv Eker’s book, The Secret of the Millionaire

Mind, you will learn that your value in in your

experience. Neither did I know that I can use it as a

tool to spread my experiences and my ideas to the

world. I could embody my experience into a product

form, like a book, or a DVD.

Your value is in your experiences.

What you know can empowering you beyond what

you can imagine.

RAHSIA #8: EXTRAORDINARY KENT LAU

“Doing the best at this moment puts you in

the best place for the next moment.”

Oprah Winfrey

Becoming the best in your industry

I was contemplating whether to write or to rewrite

this topic one morning, so I let it sit for a while

before making that decision. In the meantime, went

ahead and read Dato Lee Chong Wei’s

autobiography. I am sure no one in Malaysia would

not know that name. His name became a

household name. He was part of spreading his

country’s good name. I concentrated on him for a

while. I watched his tournaments and interviews. I

could never fathom how much passion and spirit he

has proposed on Badminton alone. I admired him

83

greatly for his never-give-up attitude when he was

defeated but he rose again to the challenge

everytime. He became the champion through and

through. We can learn something here. By studying

successful giants, one would be inspired into

wanting to become like them as well. With my

highly trained team, you will be the top batter in

your chosen field in no time.

I studied Dato Lee Chong Wei attentively. I studied

how he got stronger each time, what he thought of

when he was on the court, how he turned himself

into a champion, and how he manage to maintain

the title. He wakes up at 5am every morning

religiously without fail. First off, for most people,

waking up in the morning is one of the hardest

things to do. Let’s not forget that he trains

rigorously almost everyday and to wake up at the

wee hour. That shows how disciplined, determine,

and serious he is about his profession.

Li Ka Sheng, Hong Kong tycoon, another great man

to admire. He reveals in one of his interview that he

wakes up at 5.59am every single day. If you want to

emerge as a champion, you have go through

extraordinary lengths to gain victory.

84

You can find a series of Li Ka Seng’s interview(s)

on online (YouTube).

Let me suggest that you download the video and go

through it a few times to really grasp the meaning. I

know I did.

After a series of studying Dato Lee Chong Wei’s

lifestyle and habits, I found out how he manage to

maintain his no.1 spot.

1. He refined his skills repeatedly,

2. Getting the help from the right coach,

3. Accepting feedbacks from his coach and

improving his skills upon those comments.

The secret is to polish your set skills persistently

and that will get you closer to your goals.

Every successful individual that I observed, Dato

Lee Chong Wei, Shila Amzah, Guang Liang, Li Ka

Sheng, T. Harv. Eker, and myself included have

one thing in common; having a clear goal in mind

that is ‘I will Be the best in my line of work and

nothing else’ since their youthful days.

85

Shila Amzah, Singer-Songwriter, who acquired her

own company with the help of her father’s

coaching. She began singing at a tender age of 10

and never stopped since then. I came to know that

she could not sing in front of an audience at first.

She kept trying eventhough it was hard on her and

the result was not as she wished. Her father was

even wondering if this was too much for her to

handle at this age but she persisted through. Hard

work really paid off. She worked hard training for it

and she presented her audience with a significant

performance.

As a trainer and a writer, I do the same. I continue

cultivating my training skills, my writing, and on

editing my work. It won’t be the best on the first try

but I will continue to better my work like how Dato

Lee Chong Wei does his routine religiously. All

renowned works go through trial and error before

being presented.

Every successful professional I know have a coach

or a mentor. Tiger woods has one, T. Harv. Eker

has one, Blair Singer has one, even my online

business coach, Kai Hock, has one. We won’t know

if the decisions we make would create the outcome

that we want. If you have a coach or a mentor, they

86

can assist and/or advise you in achieving your

goal(s).

To be the best, you need a coach. The right coach

will motivate and push you to a higher level. You

will need them to lead you towards the right path

and not influence you otherwise. I needed the

assistance when I was learning about online

marketing and how to publish my book. Jim

Edwards and Les Kletke guided me when I needed

help on how I can publish my book. Your coach can

be anyone at all. It could even be your loved ones.

Not forgetting my greatest supporter when I have

lost all confidence, my wife, Josie.

You can be the best with your own strengths or you

could learn from others while working together

towards a common goal. Work Smart. Don’t go

thinking that you can do this alone. There are

coaches around for a reason. So you don’t have to

step into the same mistake(s) you made in the past.

Find a coach in your field of profession.

Example:

If you want to find an online business coach, simply

google ‘Malaysian online business coaches’. To

87

ensure accuracy in your findings, try to be more

specific when googling.

If you type in ‘Malaysian online coaches’, you will

have all kinds of coaches available and you will

have to spend time cutting through pages after

pages to find what you want/need.

My journey to become number one

Who am I to claim such reward ‘best corporate

trainer in Malaysia’? Dare I to claim such

honorarium? I bet many people will start shooting

arrows at me if I were to admit this out loud. Ok. I

have to confess. It is not easy to conclude such a

mindset. But am I the best yet? Can I garner

massive support from the audience yet? I am not

sure myself but I do know that I am moving in the

right direction.

Let me share an autobiography, ‘Menjulang

kejuaraan’, by Dato Lee Chong Wei. He tells

himself that he is no.1 everyday before even

achieving that title. I have learn that if you convince

yourself of something everyday, you will become

that eventually. Dato Lee Chong Wei certainly

never would have thought that he will be the world’s

best badminton player.

88

Can others be world’s best when that title is already

been given to someone else? Even if the title has

been claimed, it could still be yours one day.

Many players wished to be the best player in the

world. The difference between him and them is that

Dato Lee Chong Wei firmly believes in himself and

acts on it. He will pay the price to work long and

hard for it. Thus waking up in the wee hour and

throwing in extra workouts into his schedule.

As for me, I continue writing with this method I

created ‘the Daily Workout Sheet’. ‘The Daily

Workout Sheet’ slowly programs your brain to get

use to writing so when you have a pen/pencil and

paper with you, you could automatically write

smoothly. Now I can just sit down with a pen and

paper(s) and start writing until I reach my goal for

the day. I was not able to write for days but today I

can write up to 1,000 words in an hour or less.

Before the creation of DWS (the Daily Workout

Sheet) I was only able to complete 300 words for

more than 3 hours. Can you see the difference?

Amazing is it not?

This is a great achievement for me. I did the

unthinkable when the people around me try to talk

89

me out of it. I was not very good at writing essays

when I was growing up nor was I very good during

my adult life and now it is possible. To get to your

destination, you will use whatever means to get you

there faster if you want it that badly.

I can say that I owe my success to thinking this way

‘I am the number 1 excel corporate trainer’. It took

me 8 years to really acknowledge my positive

mindset. It was not an easy task at all.

Thinking this way ‘if you think you can, you can’

won’t get you anywhere if you don’t apply it.

How many times have you heard of this before ‘if

you think you can, you can.’? How many people

succeeded thinking this way? The statement lacks

charisma, entity. You need a tool that is practical

and something that he/she actually can believe in.

I came to this mind frame by visualising another

system/method that I outlined 8 years back. I have

never witness a system like this before, as far as I

know. Initially, this system was only intended for

myself and to help me better my work.

I come to like myself specializing in wider scope

areas such as me being a writer, a trainer, and an

90

inventor. Using Excel’s macro, I developed a tool to

record salary slip and to administer certificates

efficiently. I orchestrated a system for the

pharmaceutical company few years back and they

were rewarded generously for it.

It worked for me. I have develop simple tools as

well. Though it may seem like it is simple, but it is

as powerful as how the user operate it. Would you

like to know what it is?

I know you want to be the best in your field of work

because you are reading this book right now. Let

me reveal this tool, SRT (Success Recording Tool),

to you now.

This tool has helped countless of my students, me

included, to adopt a positive mindset. I was

wondering what I could do to dominate my own

mind. So I formulate a few boxes, six boxes to be

exact, and jot down my successes every single

week.

Its easy right? A little too simple? But it is not so

simple to produce or even keep up with the writing

every single week not to mention the roadblocks

you might come across. Just repeat the need-to-do

91

steps again and again. You might be surprise at

how your results turn out to be.

How writers make a living with just their writings?

They just keep writing and refining their work.

SRT is structured into 6 boxes. The brain will see

the volume of successes clearly as it is categorized

neatly for the brain to analyse smoothly. Recording

my successes will motivate me to do and to

improve more so that I could top those past

successes that I achieved. I did it every single day

without fail not just for a few weeks or a few

months. So that means I wrote down my successes

One major setback in you trying to be successful is

the fear you have of others slandering you. You

might have experienced this from an early age. The

fear grows as you grow.

I don’t know about you but I have people

discouraging me all too often. Things like “Why are

you so bad at this subjects?”, “Why is your sister

better than you?”, “why can’t you do better than our

neighbour’s son/daughter?”, “something is wrong

with you”, “Why did you score so badly?”, “Why are

you so lazy?”, “How can you pause your work to

sleep?”, “You are lazy”, “You are stupid”, “You are

92

no good”, “You can’t train anyone well”, “You can’t

be a trainer”, “People don’t need your knowledge

and skill”, and more. The list can go on. All these

negative comments could block me from even

trying. But there is also another voice that

reassured my decision making. “Kent, you did

great!”, “You are amazing!”, “How did you solve it in

2 minutes when it took me more than an hour to?”,

“You inspire me.”, “Thank you.”, “You motivate

me.”, “keep doing what you do.” Wouldn’t you like

to hear these rather some negative remark?

What does this mean? There are always two voices

in your head. The voice on your left will express

negatively where as the voice on your right advises

positively. While listening to the voice on your left

leave you feeling disheartened, the voice on your

right will brighten you with confidence reinforcing

you to continue what you are doing, to spread my

knowledge to the world.

I am sure by now you could identify those

individuals. A good teacher motivates and push

his/her students to achieve their goals. You can just

ask those successful individuals who taught them

and you will understand why.

93

I recall my childhood days and how my teacher

used to dampen my hopes and dreams with fear.

The old classic way of teaching, to hit the students

when they are wrong. Why can’t they just explain

why we are wrong? I hated going to her English

class all the time. She would hit my hands when I

can’t answer a certain question. It was better during

my secondary school days when we will enjoy the

class rather than hate it. The teacher uses

experimental teaching to teach us which was

enjoyable and fun. From then on, I enjoyed learning

and wanted to study it more. She will always teach

us with a smile and that brightens our day. It is a

teacher’s job to aid his/her students with their

learning and to motivate them to greater heights not

embed pressure and fear into his/her students

forcing them to take in more than their usual pace.

If I were taught with pressure and fear, I will study

only because I have to and I didn’t want to get in

trouble.

Be careful of who you associate yourself with. It the

things they say that could hinder with your thoughts

feeling moody and leading you to be unfavourable

for work and life. Their opinion could change how

things are going for you. It could even influence you

94

to make the wrong decisions. Leave those with

negativity. Associate yourself with positivity. Find

them. They might just be around you. I would

recommend this seminar, Millionaire Mind

Intensive, to everyone. I learn a lot from this

seminar. I manage to convince my girlfriend, my

wife now, that I am the one for her with this simple

mindset ‘I do what I say, I say what I do’.

You must choose if you want to be the best.

Will you choose (A) you didn’t do well or (B) believe

you can improve with _______ steps? Choices that

will bring me to the next level and achieving my

goal of becoming the best in my field.

Which one did you choose?

(A) Or (B)

Your feedback:

Why?

95

The first thing to do if you want to be successful is

to write down your goal(s) and tell yourself that you

will achieve you goal(s) again and again. You can

email you objective to me and my team and we can

see how best to help you achieve it.

To be number one, the best, I choose the positive

voice; listen to your own positive thoughts, your

own positive messages. God says ‘All things are

possible if you just believe in him’ this is true.

Together with this tool that I created, you will agree

to the above statement.

When you are feeling down, you must try to get out

if it fast. Do not let it lingers. The longer it remains

the bigger it grows. Try to avoid those who are

negative. They will only slow you down. Stop

reading negative opinions on Facebook or some

social network media. Very often, those media

influences you in a negative way. Don’t be

disappointed if you can’t afford to attend any

seminars. There are many things you could do

without going to seminars. You could watch and/or

listen to motivational videos. The best time to listen

to encouraging messages or songs is when you

96

have just woken up and just before you sleep. I do

this every morning. It motivates and enhances my

character as a person. Off with the old habit,

reading the newspaper, and in with the new,

listening to positive messages. There are a lot of

free sites to subscribe to. Try it.

Your task today (any one of these, tick after you

completed (✓) ):

1 Watch the interview(s) of Shila Amzah

2 Watch the interview(s) of Dato’ Lee Chong

Wei

3 Watch interview(s) of Tony Fernadez

4 Read the autobiography of Lee Chong Wei

5 Read the autobiography of Li Ka Sheng

6 And record your successful moment(s)

You might become one of the successful giants in

your industry in the future so record your

achievements now.

97

Wonder why I ask you to watch those interviews

over and over? It is to program your brain to think

positively in any and/or given situations. I learn and

applied it to my everyday life. My coach, Jossie,

emphasizes this all the time in her advertisements.

Have a coach

Choosing a coach is crucial. You must choose

someone who can motivate you, someone who can

guide you, teach you how to go about things, and

someone who could provide me with an honest but

positive feedback, and someone who has their faith

in me.

We may not be able to do everything perfectly, but

we can try to perfect it. Once you have written your

goal down, commit to it.

People like Dato Lee Chong Wei, Shila Amzah.

They commit their time and effort on the things that

they do best. So focus on one thing that you are the

best at doing and commit to it.

If you need help, please get in touch with me.

Here’s are some homework for you. It is easy and

simple, you just need to do it.

98

Write these words down “I have important

knowledge and experience to share”.

Write it down and stick these messages on your

wall. Make sure to write it down big and bold so you

can see from a far.

I did all these in the past and I’m still doing it. It’s

your turn now. Make your dreams a reality. Make

sure to do this before moving on to the next

chapter.

One you have your written goal, go for it.

A little bit more about me

I was not as accomplished in Microsoft Excel as I

am now. I was trained in college as a programmer

not a speaker nor a teacher. I saw the need to train

others in the industry so I researched it. I didn’t sit

around doing nothing, hoping that it would just fall

on my lap. I worked hard on it to make it real.

I enrolled myself for a ‘Train the trainer’ course with

T. Harv. Eker to learn better how to train people

successfully. Although I successfully trained my first

class, LB Aluminium Bhd, beating the rest of the

99

competitors in the market, I continued to practice

and improve my skills.

After the ‘train the trainer’ course, I gained more

skills and ideas on how to train corporate clients. I

keep changing my methods so it will differ from the

other Excel trainers. I also continued to market

myself on all the forums and sites that I can find.

Then my first website was born, ugrowit.net, and

my first training company was built, Pusat Latihan

Doggy. I changed the name a few times. It was

hard at first but after the change, it became better.

From UGROW IT Solutions to the current name,

Creativewise sdn bhd.

Successful trainers don’t start right away. They go

through a lot of hardships to get the experience and

knowledge to lead their students today.

I continue bettering my skills and training manuals

so that it will be easier for the reader to understand

and apply it.

100

T Harv Eker has taught me this: “I create my life”. I

was sure it was this because I created my new

career, “Successful corporate trainer” from that.

Me being excellent is the result of the never ending

learning process that I am still practicing, up to this

day. I continue to learn new things. One of the ways

to share your knowledge with the world is using the

internet.

Example: I learn how to use the pie chart. After

learning it, I recorded a video on how to use a pie

chart and posted it on YouTube. No one posted

tutorials so I took the liberty to do it.

(You) are the best trainer in

your (training subject).

Write the above statement again. Change the

“You” to your name.

E.g. Kent is the best trainer in Microsoft Excel Training.

THE VALUE OF TRAINING

$600,000 “Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an

employee who made a mistake that cost the

company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent

$600,000 training him. Why would I want

somebody to hire his experience?”

THOMAS J. WATSON

Thomas John Watson Sr. (February 17, 1874 – June 19, 1956)

served as the chairman and CEO of International Business Machines

(IBM) and oversaw the company's growth into an international force

from 1914 to 1956. Watson developed IBM's management style and

corporate culture from John Henry Patterson's training at NCR.

He turned the company into a highly-effective selling organization,

based largely on punched card tabulating machines…

CREATIVEWISE’S

MISSION MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ASIA THROUGH WORLDVISION

At Creativewise, we would like to make a difference in Asia

through the collective effort and resources available by World

Vision. This isn’t my first time doing charity, but I think it is

good to tell the world that – we have good people in Malaysia

that have the little capacity to bless others less fortune one.

I participated in the Famine 30 Hours before back in year

2000 or 2001, held at HELP University. I knew a little bit of

what it felt like – stay hungry without any food (but we still

provided water and entertainment throughout)

We not only talk about it, we do it. To make a difference, don’t

just talk about it, do it, and it is the action, that create the

result you want. You say you want to make a better world,

don’t just say it, Do it. start small, but take the first step, you

will see how happy you will be.

YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE

There is a story says – a young boy is throwing the starfish

back to the sea. then a man sees this act, then he asked the

young boy – why are you doing this? do you know they are

109

thousand and thousands of starfish lying on the sea, you can’t

help everyone…

then the young boy smile and bent his back and pick up

another starfish and as he throws the starfish, he told the man

Yes, I can’t help every starfish, but I help this one at least – I

make a difference to this one starfish.

Don’t underestimate your one action, but don’t be like the man

– who think he can’t, thinking will not produce result, it is the

action that changes the result

The young boy certainly causes a change, make a difference

to another starfish. I believe so.

Just like my sifu T Harv Eker said: Thought leads to Feeling,

Feeling leads to Action, and Action leads to Result – T > F >

A = R

You want to produce result in life, ACT on it – Keep your

promise, you will be the next millionaire. God or the Universe

wants to make sure you succeed, becoming extremely

wealthy and bless millions, if not, make just another difference

to another child/youth.

“They deserve a better life.”

“We are judged by our

performance, not by what we

promise.”

“We promised the people that under a democracy their

opportunities for a better life with individual freedom

are possible. We fought Communism, and if we do not

improve the life of our people, then they will find

Communism attractive and the fight would have been a

lost cause.

We have to show them now that the Government cares

for them, that the Government is here to serve them.

"We told them we will give them roads to bring their

products on, schools to send their children to, hospitals

and clinics to improve their health. We cannot waste

our time—we have to work fast, we have to show results

for we are judged by our performance, not by what we

promise.

People must see the results of their Government's work

in tangible form to regain their confidence. They have

been neglected for so long. It is true that we have not

involved them as we should have, but that is the second

phase in our rural development, and we are doing that

now. Now that the infrastructure has been built,

we can go to the people and tell them 'we have done

what the Government has promised, now you must do

your share.”
