Dad in Hospital for a Heart Attack

Dad was in General Hospital for 5 days that we waited to get an ECG test, but he was bypassed because the hospital ‘don’t have enough’ nurses to carry him and take him for the test. That was early in the morning yesterday when only 1 male nurse was in charge. When 4 of us went there and able to help him for the test, they said the slot was no longer available.

So, in the end, youngest sister booked a private St. John’s ambulance to fetch dad to a private hospital that I don’t wish to disclose for privacy sake and immediately he went to A & E unit, where they did the dressing for him, etc. and I paid the $4k deposit using my credit card. Dad was so much happier now and he even joked. Such a big difference from being ‘lifeless’ to joking.

Eventually he has to go for open heart surgery at a ripe age of 80 as one of his heart valves was not functioning and needs repair.

King Kong SEO

Last night, I booked a flight to KL on Thursday for business and returning the same day late at night. There are 2-3 places to visit and then it is back home again. This morning, I was surfing the web when I came across King Kong SEO where you can click on the link to find out more information. This guy is superb! He went from $0 in His Bedroom to $4 Million in 2 Years as a marketer of King Kong.

Sabri Subri is a man of action and his results speak for themselves. For any business to survive, you need to do some form of marketing or get an expert who has done it to market your websites, e-commerce, etc for you, relieving you time to do other more important stuffs. Time is money as they say. And the more time you have to yourself or be productive, the more you earn. Also, don’t sleep too much (myself included), or you may come to poverty; without working hard.

13 Reasons You are Not as Successful as You Should Be

The infographic is self-explantory, but here, I shall highlight a few of them. One of them is Laziness. Yes, most people wake up late and do nothing to keep their brains active or work with their hands to prevent poverty. It is easier to just tuck in bed under your silk duvet and turn on the air-con instead of trundle out of bed, have early breakfast and get to work! Most people dream of success, but the rich ones are the only people working their butts off. Most will dream of success and even envy the rich, but still they do nothing about it and prefer to laze around, expecting parents or the Government to feed them, while they merely exists.

The other one is Fear! I am also guilty of this; like fear of failure, etc. Don’t ever let fear come into your life for it may become a reality. God works by faith which is the opposite of fear. Have faith that you can do it and read up to learn new skills. Rome was not built in a day! It takes years of learning and practice to get to where you are today. Personally, I have a fear of programming because I could not troubleshoot. Hence, my challenge is to over come this fear and slowly pick up the pieces and put them into a jigsaw puzzle.

Stay away from Negative people who may put you down or destroy your confidence! They could even be your close friends, in-laws or relatives who feel inferior and try to put you down instead to feel superior and a sense of power over you. These parasites are to be avoided at all costs!

You need to set goals and resolutions for the year. No goals means no action taken and you will vegetate away. You need to set goals to keep yourself productively occupied and set plans, desires and purpose in life. Then only living for something or someone you love makes it all the more meaningful. You will enjoy the journey along the way.

Waste time is another factor of the reasons you are not as successful as you should be. Don’t be a time waster by playing games unless you want to destress for a while, but don’t play games to the extent of forgetting to eat, take a bath and play till you drop dead. This had happened to a few professional game players where they are so addicted to computer games that they forget the most important activities in life.

Marketing Reviews

I woke up early this morning and trolled the internet where I found king kong sabri suby. You can click on the link to find out more information. It is a marketing company with results and positive reviews. For any business to survive, you need to allocate some money to advertise which is the lifeblood of your business.

Don’t get complacent and assume people and new visitors will come to your website by chance. Mostly likely they will visit other sites, unless you take action to do some marketing for more revenue. The link above has shown proven results with customer’ and employees’ positive reviews. Now, this is what I call smart outreach and advertising.

Using Google Trends to check Traffic

Using Google Trends to check traffic for certain keywords is useful. This is especially so if you have ecommerce store and want to scale up to next level. Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it. Proverbs 10:4 – A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. Proverbs 14:23 – In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty. These 2 verses also remind me to continue to work hard and not give up easily. Like in the case of my Shopify store, it is easy to just throw in the towel and give up. But I shall give it another shot and work at it diligently, sourcing for winning products.

Konversion and Turbo Theme on Shopify

I am considering of paying RM 500 to scale up my Shopify shop using paid theme like Konversion or Turbo which is double the price at $350. ZelloShop.com is very well developed, has a hundred products and makes USD 100,000 per month revenue with USD 50,000 profit. I might just follow the excellent business model shared by 2 male business partners with 2 Virtual Assistants helping them for RM 4,000 in total. My Shopify shop is already 4 months in operation but still hardly any sales. Hence, I need a mentor to guide me to scale up my business to even greater heights. As you know, most of the succcessful Shopify owners are men, very few ladies are in this business, unless they sell maternity stuffs.

Digital Marketing

I just came back from Kuala Lumpur with a stopover in Ipoh last night. It was a bit tiring and I slept early to work today, a weekend. This morning, I was browsing the internet, when I came across king kong digital marketing, where you can click on the link to find out more information.

As we all know, digital marketing is the lifeblood of your online business or website to grow and prosper. As a rule of thumb, we should allocate 1/3 for building a website, 1/3 of our money for marketing or advertisements and final 1/3 for maintenance.

I am blessed to be able to work from a home office with the benefits of an SME company with EPF and SOCSO, medical benefits, etc. But lots of traveling is required and it can get lethargic at times. In the meantime, you can check out the link above and read more information on digital marketing.

10 Powerful Habits of the Ultra Successful

Above is an infographic that is self explanatory. One of the habits is networking with people smarter than you or successful ones. Birds of a feather flock together. Another is to diet and exercise like playing futsal, soccer, sports, tennis, swimming, golfing or cycling. I should also add, that one needs to have a hobby too like playing the guitar, organ, piano, flute, etc. Others include blogging, writing articles, or even moonlighting part-time by being a freelancer and bid for jobs. Craigslist.org is a good place to look for free jobs online and you don’t have to pay anything, unlike Upwork.com, Freelancer.com, even though these sites will always have constant jobs offers.

Tomorrow, on a short notice, I shall be going down to Kuala Lumpur with my married business partner due to issues in a condominium, visit other places and then head to Ipoh on Friday. We just put our pet Pomeranian puppy in a pet hotel for 3 days or so. The 2 white Holland Lop rabbits will be taken care of by the workers in another place. Such is my life of travelling and working. Sometimes, I wish to have a family of my own and not travel so much with someone special.
