Not bullshit, just luck. This require tons of patience and approach but slowly but surely Im getting there. Real assets, real businesses. Thanks to those who have been “hating” and “trying to bring me down”, because of you guys I have motivation to make more money offline. God works here…Im still doing my things in online business but seriously, day by day i get more focused on my offline ventures.

Also, for you who get redirected to this post through other sites, dont be upset. I only use it for bandwidth purposes. Anyway I’ve made a new site although i might not be able to work on it every week (maybe just once every 2 weeks or so!) :
Asian-Suppliers.com

Yo, bring me the huge companies :)

If everything goes well, I will go to Dubai by 2011 hehehehe…

Once we set up agreement with them, I’m 100% sure things will improve rapidly since at the moment we still have bugs, instability, unfinished scripts, etc. which we will finish them once we cooperate with this web development company (I won’t tell you who they are). I also have been teamed up with Martin Forssel from SuccessDoctor for improving landing pages and conversion for the site. It seems they will cooperate with us start from next week but I’m not sure. Just one lesson from all these, small freelancers might sounds cheaper but they are not capable of handling big projects. That’s why I start to cooperate with big names.

That’s what internet should be about. Lift your mask and shout anything you want. Nowadays it seems harder to “provide” the real freedom of speech policy. When you deny holocaust, no matter how good your argument is, people would criticize you until you delete that content. When you talk about a scam scheme of one big organization, you wouldn’t be heared either. In fact, once people start hearing about your problem, websites will try to filter your content.

Facebook nowadays often filter certain contents. If we were talking about adult contents, I can understand. Adult contents should be filtered because we don’t want children to see them. But Facebook (and lots of other sites) filter comments and articles that talk about important issues. It’s totally unfair to make negative arguments about one specific issue (especially when the writer had a very good point). Well, internet should be the place where everyone can talk anything they want. It’s good, actually. But when it gets bigger, dumbasses will try harder to protect something they care about (you know what I mean) by filtering your contents.

You know, lots of things have changed in the past 3 years. Things were looking good sometimes but I always remember the days when I had nothing, when I screamed at God and asked “how will you pay my hard work?”…These days, sometimes I feel that kind of situation haunts me back. I work hard, really. I plan hard, really. And I also try to diversify my attention by going to a language course and still try to refresh myself sometimes by playing with my friends. But it looks like things are going down for me. I know there’ll be a light at the end of tunnel but I just feel tired with the daily work circle that keeps distracting my attention in living my life.

Well, I have to admit..I wasn’t prepared. I wasn’t prepared to become what I am today. I just wasn’t prepared enough. I do regret it but everyone has their own regrets. I learn so much lately and I know I still need to learn much more in order to be “prepared” in my own level.

I remember the day when I lost few hundred bucks in my saving account which left me only $10 with an old PC and a very poor internet connection. I cried. Nobody heard though ..Then I started to 100% focus on what I was doing and I know I had a big achievement. A very big jump, I must say. Well, now I feel the same pressure although it is for different reasons. I hope with this pressure, it’ll help me maximize my potential so I can achieve what I want and what I need. I live to win, not to not lose. By losing once or twice, it’ll pump my motivation to achieve even more in my life. Well anyway, thanks for reading.

Sometimes, entrepreneurs also do the same thing. They chase the same market, they don’t want to sacrifice their primary business model, and they only work in one niche simply because they know it’s where they good at. Even though one day they grow in terms of earning, but basically they don’t grow as a human being. They keep the same habits for years. They may be having a successful career but what’s the point if what they do is just go to the same place everyday to work, go back home at 5, have fun with family until 10, and make new plans for tomorrow’s work, and go to sleep?

Well, as an entrepreneur and investor in various sectors, I know what “lose” is. But I probably would never know what “win” is if I was only trying to not lose. I learn from my horror stories. I lost all of the money in my saving account back then in 2005 when I was only 18. But if I never lost the money, probably I would never had a thought to start an online business with $10. Same story with my investments. If I never lost a single cent in my first investment, probably I would stay investing in low or medium risk businesses and would never try to learn risk management. There are lots of ways to learn how to make money but in the end the most valuable lesson is experience. You learn from your good stories but  you learn and motivate yourself from the bad ones.

Unfortunately,things are not going smoothly, never were, and will never be. When you were 16-18, probably you have a dream to stop working before you get old and enjoy your life. I had a dream to stop working and made enormous amount of money before I turn 30. But things are not as simple as that. New problems will always come to your door everyday and it changes how you think about yourself. A regular employee probably had a dream to make $10,000 a month. But once he becomes a CEO, he would want to make $1,000,000 a month. And once his company grows much bigger than that, he would want to make a lot more.

This is normal but sometimes we don’t realize these things consume us and our time. In the end, it’s not about “I want safety” or “I want to make money passively” anymore. In the end, you are just trapped in that kind of life. The question is, do you live to not lose or to win? Well, I chose the second path since 2 years ago.

I just realize now things have changed. People give me more attention just because now I make money and some of them even try to be close to me just because they know about my profession. Everybody thought I was only a clown, now it’s just ugly to see some people try to think I’m an asset or something. Also, I was not circumcised and now I have been circumcised. Lol…and I still remember how I was not able to speak a single character of Mandarin language and now I can type pinyin.

Man, I was thinking that in just 4 years, things have changed. Now I’m not as brave as I was. I care about my image now, I care about how do I look, I care about what I own, and I feel I have more and more responsibility. One thing for sure, I’m also fatter now. Man, I think I need to go swimming 2 times a week and also do some gym stuffs. But above all, to be honest, I miss the old times. I miss how I could entertain people. I miss how friends were like family, not like now where everybody’s busy with their own schedules. But ok, this is life. So interesting. I can’t wait to see what will happen in 4 years from now. One thing for sure, I won’t get married when I’ll be 25 And if someone invent human clone technology by then, I would be happy to clone myself and kill that clone immediately.

However, I have a laptop and it’s not a MacBook. I use Alienware Area-51 M15x and it’s installed with Vista automatically when I bought it. And no, I never regret using Vista. It’s actually a good software and the main reason why I feel it’s good is because you can play latest games with it. Games like GTA IV, Fallout 3, or Call of Duty games, they are created for Windows so it’s easy to install and play them here. But well, if I’m working from home, I will definitely turn on my iMac, not my Alienware.

So basically the saying “once you go Mac, you’ll never go back” is true for me. However, since I love to switch gadgets, I love to play games, and just to refresh myself from specific OS, I still use Vista. It’s good of course compared to XP. Much better. If you want to use XP, you can use it from Leopard actually.

Recently, I have found lots of stupid search engine optimizers. I don’t say they are stupid because they are using the oldie techniques to get high SERPs. No man, they are stupid because they keep sending me the same PMs in forums and messages to my email address. I approved several friend requests in GTalk and I don’t know why but these SEOs kept giving me the same messages every day. For example, they would always began the chat with “Hi Ruddy, are you there?” After I replied, he/she would ask me if I need any links. You know what, every day they would try to send me the same messages through GTalk as if I never chat with them earlier. I mean…cmon, I talked to them just 24 hours before and they sent me exactly the same messages?

I ever asked 2 of them if they were bot or something and they actually were not. I knew they were humans because they responded when I changed the subject. However, because I felt they completely annoyed me, I just blocked this kind of people. You know, this is not a good business practice. Just be honest with you. They look like bunch of morons, completely not professional, and they expected to make money with this technique? Man, I just don’t get it why these morons never learnt something.

In the real world, actually it’s just the same. You can see lots of morons everywhere. I have a friend, never met him anymore in the last one year but I heard the latest news about him just few weeks ago. He was very successful in his business although he was only 21 or something (he’s one or two years older than me, so he must be 22 or 23 right now). But his parents always tried to force him back to college although he didn’t have passion in stuffs like school. In the end, because he said he was so busy in school, he just let his business die. I asked him why he just left his business? He said because his parents and even himself believe we can’t predict the future and college gives us a “guarantee”. But I heard now he’s just working as an employee to a big company here. Although it’s big but what’s the point if you work for less than $2,000 per month? I mean, he can surely get a lot more if he never stopped his own business.

LOL. I can say he was hardworker but he was not smart. I mean, he was just moron. There’s no such thing as guarantee except your brain, your hard work, and your dedication. Everyone who uses his potential and work hard always ends up living a good life. I can guarantee this because I’ve seen too many examples in my life. Yeah of course the case will be different if you use your potential to work as an employee forever. But I’m telling you the truth, when you get an opportunity to maximize your potential, and suddenly someone else tells you to just stop your business, you should just disobey it. No matter who the hell this person is, your father, your mother, your girlfriend, it doesn’t matter. Just ignore it and just focus on your dream. You’ll end up being the smart guy, not one of the morons
