3. SECRET OF SUCCESS
For everyone who starting and building a business
will be a truly amazing journey and life- changing
adventure.
Being an entrepreneur has a lot of benefit and also
disadvantages, it all depends on how you handle your
business.
You will often blaze your own trail which means No
career guides, counsellors or maps will guide you
from one step to the next.

5. HAVE PASSION IN WHAT YOU DO
As Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, has famously said, “your work
is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be
truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the
only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t
found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.”
It takes time a build a sustainable, long-term and high impact
business. During the initial start- up phase, you can expect to be
spending a lot of time setting things up and getting the ball
rolling. So find something that you are passionate in and be
excited to spend time on! Do what you love and love what you
do!
Your passion is contagious! If you love what you do, your
passion will ignite the same intensity in others who join you as
you build a team to succeed in this endeavour. And with passion,
both your team and your customers are more likely to see your
vision and be excited to be part of your journey too.

7. ALWAYS BE LEARNING
Successful entrepreneurs are always learning! Whether you are a
first time business owner, or you are already having massive success,
have the mind-set of a student and continue to learn. Continuous
learning and personal development is the key to succeed in life and
in business.
In the last few years, I have made it a commitment to keep learning
and keep expanding my mind. Reading personal development
books, listening to audio and video training programs, attending
seminars and training events and learning from successful partners
and mentors. And these ’investments’ for my mind have paid me
back many times and more.
Your business can only grow to the extent that you do. You can’t
make 1,00,000/month with a 1,00,000/year mind-set. To make more,
first become more. The greatest investment you could ever make is
in your own personal development. You can’t live a rich life with a
poor mind. Change your mind, change your life.

9. HAVE A BURNING DESIRE
Successful entrepreneurs have a burning desire to
succeed.
They know WHY they want to succeed and have the
desire to keep driving forward despite obstacles and
setbacks.
The bigger your WHY, the easier the HOW.

11. STAY OUT OF FEAR ANDSTAY IN FAITH
Successful entrepreneurs are optimist about possibilities and
their future. They believe in themselves and have faith that it is
through their journey that they will grow and succeed. They
don’t need to see the whole staircase, they are willing to just
take the first step and then keep taking the next step forward.
Even if they have failed in the past, they understand that their
past does NOT equal to their future.
It doesn’t mean that they don’t have fear; they just don’t let
their fear control them. They are willing to face their fear and
keep moving forward towards their dreams. Fear is NOT real. It
is just part of you feeling uncomfortable. Fear is NOT the truth.
Fear is NOT the reality. Make a decision to get comfortable
with being uncomfortable. This is your own personal journey of
growth. And your destiny lies on the opposite of your fear.

13. UNDERSTANDTHAT NOT EVERYONE WILL
SUPPORT YOU
This is probably one of the hardest parts of your entrepreneurial
journey. This may be surprising – but you need to understand
that NOT everyone is going to support you. Sometimes, it could
be those who are closest to you (your spouse, your parents, your
boyfriend/girlfriend, your best friends) that are criticizing you,
telling you that your dreams are impossible and asking you to
quit.
And as you work hard and start to attract success, you will find
that some people are inspired by you. However, at the same time,
your success could also be like a mirror – it is a reflection for
some people to look into their own lives. Sadly, for some,
because there are parts of themselves that they don’t like, they
may feel jealous of you and may even want to see you fail.

15. LEARNTO LEVERAGE
As you start to build your business, you may be
overwhelmed by the new roles and new skill sets
you need.
My advice is to keep things simple, and learn how
to build a Team and incorporate a System so that
your business can eventually multiply.
Take the time to learn how to leverage on a System
and learn to become a great Leader to your team.
Ultimately, it is leverage that gives you freedom
and wealth.

17. TAKE MASSIVE ACTIONS & NEVER QUIT!
No matter how great your vision and your plan are, to build
a successful business, it always comes down to execution!
Are you taking real actions towards your business? Execute,
execute, execute! Take massive actions – Success will only
come from hard work!
Successful entrepreneurs understand that they need to aim
for progression, not perfection. It is ok to be imperfect –
just shoot first and then re-adjust course along the way!
Failures are just lessons.
The faster you fail, the quicker you will succeed. And the
only way to truly fail is to quit! So keep moving forward
and never, never, never quit!
"Ambition is the path to success. Persistence is the vehicle
you arrive in."

19. EMBRACE YOUR JOURNEY
The road to success is going to take time; it will be an adventure and an
exciting journey. But, it will not always be sunshine and roses. You will
have setbacks and obstacles, and at times, you may feel that the whole
World is going against you and you feel like quitting
Remember, to always embrace your journey! Learn from your failures
and experience, keep stretching yourself and get comfortable with being
uncomfortable, continue to learn and grow in the process, and keep taking
actions.
One day, your tests will become your testimonials and your story will
become your glory to inspire hundreds and thousands of lives around the
World.
Meanwhile, don’t forget to have A LOT OF FUN too. Enjoy your journey
and always remember to rewards yourself and celebrate on every
milestone along the way!
The biggest prize of your journey is to become the best version of you and
become the person you are destined to be.
