So this event is called Do Nation. Let's do it for the nation. There is a virtual charity learning event and aim to fundraise for front liners and event liners. I'm really blessed to be a part of this. So I hope you enjoy this interview and let me know if you love this episode.
Genecia Alluoraās Story of Bullying
(09:43-11:24) I had to support myself at a very young age since I was 14 years old, and I wasn't able to kind of really build up my self-esteem well. So in school, I wasn't able to buy new clothes, new shoes, and therefore, I was often bullied in school because of my look. Imagine me with really short hair, maybe as short as yours. Rich, you have hair. Okay. So almost very short. And I have very dark eye circles, really bushy eyebrows, very tomboyish because of the way I was being brought up to defend myself, to defend for myself, and not with a lot of money in my pocket. I wasn't able to present myself well, I didn't have a lot of confidence, so I was always the spot where people would bully me. The girls have cornered me at the basketball court. I remember one time, and then they pull over my PE shirt, exposing my bra, and then one of them will actually say, oh, you're wearing the same bra. And I felt totally humiliated. Humiliated. So throughout my years, I was consistently being bullied because of my background, and I lost my self-esteem. In fact, there was one other incident that shook me up that I didn't even want to think about joining a beauty pageant because totally, I lost myself completely. There were times that they took my bag. My bag has holes in them, and they threw it across the classroom floor. And all my books were strewn all across the floor. And at that moment in time, I wanted to commit suicide. I just wanted to die.
Her Journey Towards Joining Beauty Pageant
(11:27-11:50) My self-esteem continued to go downhill. But you see, we are the average of the five people we hang with the most. And sometimes when we don't have coverage, we don't have bravery. We lost ourselves. It's the people around us who will support us and give us that support. And my friends believed in me. My friends saw the potential in me and say Genecia, you should just join a beauty pageant. Just go for it.
(12:03-12:07) And my friends, eventually they enrolled me to join Miss Singapore.
(12:11-12:24) And the best part was, I wasn't groomed. I didn't have a lot of money to buy a pair of heels. In fact, I could only afford one pair of black color heels. But in any beauty pageant, you need to have one black and one silver. And you have to have clothes for multiple events.
(12:35-12:44) So I went to knock on doors, and eventually, I found someone who was willing to give me a sponsorship to teach me how to do public speaking.
(12:46-13:18) Her name was Rebecca. And she gave me all the DVDs, CDs, her notes, and everything possible. She gave it to me. And then she said, can you give me your wallet, your bank? And I was a little bit blurred and naive at the time. Okay. I just passed you my bag, and she took out my wallet, unzip my wallet and pour all the money I have in my wallet. And I'm like, Rebecca, why are you taking all my money? That's all that I have. $60 is all that I have for the month for my food and transport and everything else.
(13:36-13:56) And I told myself since you took all my money, I have no money. Right.
So I better study hard and make sure I do well in my pageant. Right. So eventually I scored really well, and I won Miss Singapore International in 2006 because of Rebecca's teachings,
public speaking, learn how to groom myself. All because I took the first step to commit to my success.
Concept of Value Exchange Pushed her to do well in Pageantry
(16:24-16:57) I think I never really understood the power of value exchange until much later in life. But definitely, when I looked back, I finally understood why she took that $60. There may be very little to some of you, the listeners, audience who's watching this right now, but for me, it was a lot back in those days. So we talked about the value, the proportion of the value that you have right now in your pocket when you give, whether it's 100 pesos or how much you're giving. It's not how much you give, but how much you have that you're actually giving.
Her Message to People who are Struggling.
(20:46-21:21) Don't think that you are alone because there's someone else out there. I totally get you. If you have depression and anxiety, it's time and possible for the journey. Just know that someone has gone before you and someone has overcome before you. So be an Overcomer. Learn to Ask for Help don't feel like you're being judged if you ask for help or if I ask for help means I'm weak, means I'm lousy, means I'm no good. But if I hadn't asked for help, I hadn't had friends who gave me that support. I will not be here today and be able to do more with my life.
(21:23-21:36)So I want to encourage you to really step out of your comfort zone and really ask for help. Don't feel that someone else is judging you. Always know that there is a brighter, lighter hit at the end of the tunnel.
Does and Don'ts in Starting a Business
Don't be an Automatic Expert on Certain Things.
(28:21-28:41) So to really do a cafe business, you need to don't become like a chef, you try to start a restaurant. You hold a camera, you think you're a photographer, you hold an iPhone, you think you're a blogger, you have a website, you think you are a blogger or something like that along the line. So don't think that you know how to be a barista. You can make a cafe.
Don't Do Retail Business in this Covid-19 Season
(28:50-29:14) I would say in this Covid-19 season, don't really start a retail business anymore. I will recommend you to reinvent the idea into a kiosk and then do takeaways, something that is duplicatable, something that is easy. Similar concept to bubble tea. Do something that is easy for people to take away with. I think that would be a better choice.
Get a Franchise
(30:21-30:36)If you were to do a cafe, get a franchise, that is the easiest way to get started, even though it could be a little more pricey. But that investment that you put upfront guarantees you that you have a system and process that's proven and you can make money immediately.
(30:49-30:57) Why? Because the brand is really known in the market and it's easy for people to trust you and know that your coffee is good.
(31:07-31:13) Other than that, the brand actually has a trust factor involved. So definitely that will work in itself.
Build a Team
(31:24-31:44) I think one thing that I found success in the cafe business and I've learned is by having a team, we could put our skillset and strengths together and we are not functioning alone. And because we're not alone, we could easily put the processes together and eventually create something that's worthy of selling.
How did Genecia Maximize her time?
(40:38-41:11) Maximizing my time really means really sticking to my schedule as if I am doing the business as I would do before and after Covid. I think that in itself is a state of mindset where you can't tell yourself, oh, because it's Covid, therefore, I am not going to function the way I am. I'm going to sleep in a little bit more. I'm going to lazy around a little bit more. I mean, you could do exactly just that. But what is your vision? What is your big why? I think that is the question I want to keep reminding myself.
(42:31-43:15) When I maximize my time, I want to always keep my vision in mind, keep that idea of why am I doing what I'm doing? Maximizing time also involves using management tools. I would highly recommend you to check Asana. Asana is a project management tool that is super useful. I have a team of 21 in the Philippines and they are all in Davao and I manage them all on my tools via Skype and Asana. And maximizing my time also means delegating 80% of my to-do list to them. So I only do 20% of my to-do list functioning in my zone of genius.
Why Delegation is Very Important in Maximizing Time?
(48:45-49:35) All you need is just to have $50 for a task that you completely hate to do. Like for example, bookkeeping like, for example, posting on your social media, getting things scheduled and posting things out, things like that can be easily outsourced and delegated for just $50 a week or $50 a month. It doesn't have to be, oh, I have to hire a full-time employee. It can be just a task or two, three tasks bundled together. As long as the person gets things done for you, you can go bit by bit. The two of the biggest mindset blocks for all the entrepreneurs I see, female entrepreneurs alike, is that they have this mindset of I can do better than the virtual assistant, I can do better than my employees.
(49:39-49:44)But the thing is you're forgetting that you could maximize and function in your zone of genius.
(50:04-50:10) And number two, the other block that a lot of entrepreneurs have is that they need to spend a lot of money to do delegating.
Why Investing in Yourself Matters?
(54:07-55:17) I will invest in myself, go for a program that will change and transform either my skill set and then also my mindset. I think the skill set is something that I've learned that nobody can take away from me. I started when I was 14 years old, had to support myself through school as yoga, aerobics, and line dancing instructor because I started when I was 14 teaching classes, being able to move a class of 100, to move a group in a Stadium of 1000, that gave me the skill set, to be able to give instructions whether it's in a small group or big group at a very young age. And that was why I was given the opportunity to work with politicians, CEOs and celebrities. Because of that, I had the advantage over other people when I was doing my business when I was an image consultant and doing my business, and I looked at the whole course on its own. So if I were to only have $1,000, I would do the same. Invest in myself, look at the skill set that is the future that people want.
Why Action is Needed to Reach Your Goals?
(55:26-56:33) One of the greatest swimmers of all time in Singapore, his name is Joseph Schooling. He won an Olympic gold, our very first Singapore Olympic gold just a few years ago. For Joseph Schooling to win an Olympic goal, he had to hire a coach to coach him how to swim in the pool. But did the coach need to jump in the pool to swim? For Joseph Schooling on the day of the Olympics, the answer is no. Joseph Schooling will wake up five to 06:00 a.m. Every single day and swim and worked his ass off to eventually winning the Olympic goals. So even if you invest in yourself to find a skill set that eventually will pay your bills, you must take action to jump into the pool and swim to achieve your Olympic goal. Like Joseph Schooling, the coach and mentor of the course can only guide you through, give you the system, the process that you can take you there because it's proven, but it takes you all your energy, 100% to swim through, to end, to finish line.
Why Geneciaās Mother is the Greatest Woman for her?
(00:59:27-01:00:31) I look at my life now where I am, if not for her, I would not be where I am today. Like, set up pawning her goal to send me for instructor certifications, which I hated her for. Like, why do I need to work at a young age? Why do I need to do this to want to share with you my depression, my committing suicide, going through different relationships in life. And my mom has always been there, even though sometimes as a daughter, we are rebellious, we are running, going through our own course in life. So for me, I think I'm just being human and looking at my mom, I want to honour her. Even up to now, I would say my mom is still the greatest person ever. And I will say whatever I'm doing now is role modelling after her because she's also a leader in the community. She guides other women. She teaches other women how to live a confident, fulfilling, healthy life. And I'm exactly doing the same. Just an online version.
Tips to Embrace our Mothers and Honour Them.
Philosophy and Principles
(01:03:10-01:03:24) I totally disagree with her most of the time. But over the years, I invested myself a lot in personal development, inner healing work. I do so much of that that I realized that choose to be happy, then choose to be right.
Embrace her Indifferences.
(01:03:29-01:04:09) She has gone through her own journey and education and her life experiences. So when she says certain things about you, about your work, about your life, just let her say because she has gone through her journey to be what she is today, there is definitely a generation difference to where we are now. So just be open-hearted and love her and embrace who she is. And that is one thing, one of the biggest lessons that I've learnt, embracing my mother and our differences. And I no longer think that I need to be right. I always choose to be happy and I just listen to her and just smile and not my head, even though I disagree
What drove Her to build the Sole Rich Woman?
(01:05:57-01:06:08) I was trapped in the nine to five red race for about a year because I was already making more working part-time and as an instructor. And I decided that I think nine to five isn't for me.
(01:06:23-01:06:58) I feel that my life has been called for. So I went into image consultancy because my pageant winning Miss Singapore has really opened doors for me. And getting that specification as an image consultant did help me to pass ways to get to know more. I would say more influential people like your network goes to your net worth. So I think that really has helped me tremendously. But I was trading time for money. By work, I get paid, I work, I get paid, I don't work, I don't get paid. So that in itself I struggled and I was looking for a way out to go from offline to online, to bring my business online.
How Mentoring Helps her in Building Soul Rich Woman
(01:06:59-01:07:39) And how can I really make my first million? And that was just what I was thinking. I have never made my million before. I gotta do it myself. How can I get there? I invested in a mentor eventually. And his name is James Wee. He's also my partner in the cafe retail chain. He's also now the partner and the man behind So Rich Woman. So, yes, even though I run Soul Rich Woman, I'm the founder, but he's the man behind looking at all the different strategies and how we are charting out the cash flow and all these things. So it's very important.
What is the Vision of a Soul Rich Woman?
(01:07:40-01:08:22) I went online knowing that I can empower and equip more women to shortcut their success, to own and love the effort, be fabulous, have freedom, financial independence, and above all, family. I don't want women to start going round and round in circles because I feel that there's just so much time wasted when you're just going round and round in circles. There is definitely a way to shortcut your success, to reach your goal in a shorter period of time if you have the right mentor and the right community. Because when a woman changes her life, her entire community benefits. And alone, you are strong. But together we are unstoppable.
What is the Most Important Lesson she learned in Life? How will she Influence people through it?
(01:09:34-01:10:10) One of the biggest lessons I learned in life is never to give up. And if I were to win Miss Universe, I would actually use this motivational skill set that I have to actually get everyone who's been in touch with me one light at a time to tell them that the sky's the limit and there's no storm that you cannot conquer Never give up only as you're willing to step out of your comfort zone no dream that you cannot achieve in your life because alone we are strong together we are unstoppable.
What advice would you give to youngsters?
(01:16:46-01:16:51) Believe in yourself. Be confident. Stay true to your soul, to your heart.
What advice would you give to people struggling with this Pandemic?
(01:21:40-01:21:54) Remember, quit thinking, start doing and never give up on your dreams. Even Covid-19 has happened. Life definitely must go on. Find a mentor and stay connected.
(01:22:12-01:22:43) People are having issues, and they feel that they're alone. So don't feel that you're alone. I just want to just call out to you right now if you're feeling alone, just know that we have resources available for you. And as we do this as a nation together to support our front liners in the Philippines, we also would like you to lend your hand, hundred pesos to get started, to make a donation so that we can do more with our effort together because alone we are strong, together we are unstoppable.
Key Takeaways:
It's not how much you give, but how much actually give.
Be an Overcomer.
Learn to ask for help.
Never give up.
Believe in yourself.

138: How To Use My 3 Best Money Affirmations To Change Your Life
Now, today I want to talk about how to use my three best money affirmations to change your life. I know that money affirmations can get a little bit iffy for some of you, but you know that I absolutely love a good affirmation because I think they really have a powerful impact on your life and business, and it can be as powerful as reading a book or taking a course.
How does affirmation work?
(01:54-02:13) Affirmations are a huge part of how I have manifested my life and business, and I always recommend them as a great starting point if you are looking to upgrade your life or to have more belief in yourself, to own and love the F word.
(02:51-03:13) There are specific affirmations for specific situations. Okay, so there are three best affirmations that I have that can help you shift you from feeling negative and frustrated to feeling really good about yourself. Abundant and deserving really quickly.
How Can Affirmations Impact Your Money Mindset?
(03:15-03:38) Let's do it. So how Affirmations Can Impact Your Money Mindset? First and foremost, affirmations are positive brain training statements that help you shift your focus from the negative, where a lot of us spend our time and shift it to the positive.
(03:45-04:03) Scientifically activate our reticular activating system in our brain that's like a light tower shining brightly, showing a signal outwards so that the good stuff will come to you that you want.
(05:24-05:55) If you don't pattern interrupt these negative thoughts patterns, you will probably create a downward spiral that manifests more frustration, lack, and negativity. When you're feeling absolutely crap about yourself or feeling absolutely lousy, you often miss out on opportunities. You talk yourself out of taking action, and then you get stuck in the same position of procrastination.
(06:03-06:14) Negative self-talk is one of the biggest sabotaging patterns I've seenāpeople who aren't living their ideal life the life of the F word.
My signature affirmation
(06:38-07:06) So my signature affirmation is that if you use an affirmation like my signature affirmation, you will say, "I love myself, and I set myself free." "This is my time, and I'm ready for the next step." This immediately gives your brain something really positive to focus on instead of those annoying, stupid negative patterns.
(07:07-07:22) Now, this particular affirmation sends the message that you are ready even before you are really ready. And that is only the step that needs to happen. So it becomes less scary.
(07:54-08:32) So when you train your brain to look for the positive, you automatically start to feel better and act in different ways. You might feel more motivated to take action, even a small one. And it has a knock-on effect to create positive outcomes too. So if you use affirmations. Whenever you notice the negative thoughts come into play, you successfully patent interrupt the downward spiral of your mood, of your thoughts before it causes drama in your life.
Affirmation 1: My face is my fortune
(09:09-09:27) This is for you. Entrepreneurs out there or budding entrepreneurs. Okay, aspiring entrepreneurs. Whether you're thinking about starting a bakery, starting your own site, hustle, even though you're not the five employees, or even though you're in a full-time business, hey, it's for you.
(09:28-09:35) Don't hide. For your customers to connect with you, you need to be seen.
(09:54-10:21) So, the way to differentiate yourself in a crowded marketplace is to be you unapologetically. Yes, Darling, yes. Even at your current weight, current size, current skin, current colour. Even though you think you're not ready. And even if you worry you're not good enough.
(11:03-11:13) So six of my favourite ways to get visible. Get some new photoshoots done before you're ready.
(11:24-11:38) Number two, use your face on your branding. Even if you're a product business or live stream business, eCommerce business, give yourself permission to be seen as a real-life model of what you do.
(11:52-11:59) Number three, if you make things, show the behind-the-scenes of your workspace and how you create your work.
(12:07-12:19) Number four, this also helps you to charge well for what you do because your audience starts to appreciate the work that goes into your product.
(12:20-12:34) Number five, be brave to show a mix of photos, the glam up ones versus the real-life ones. Youāll be surprised what your audience or the people resonate with.
(12:55-13:11) Lastly, get on the camera either with live streaming interviews or prerecorded videos so that your audience can connect with you. Do what feels comfortable, Darling, but basically show up and show yourself.
Affirmation 2: I serve. I deserve.
(13:41-13:50) The word deserve means that when you serve through your programs, your products or your services, you deserve to be rich.
(13:59-14:08) So when I first started using this affirmation, it completely changed the way I felt about my impact on the world and my ability to receive abundance in return. I used to feel really horrible and terrible that I couldn't help everyone and would constantly feel guilty.
(15:44-16:04) The truth is that when you have a business, you could work 24/7 and still not feel like you are doing enough. There's no off time or clock off time for most of us. So how do you deal with it now? Think of all the ways you serve people.
(18:28-18:37) You deserve to be rich when you serve, or you make an impact on people's lives or add value to other people's lives.
(18:39-19:12) This affirmation will remind you of all the ways to help people, but it also helps you to remember that you don't have to serve in all ways or be everything to everyone you already served. Use this affirmation as your reminder that it's okay to receive good things doing what you do. You are entitled to receive abundance in your life from serving people, including money.
(19:17-19:28) So remember this. I serve. I deserve. I deserve to be rich when I add value to other people's lives.
Affirmation 3: This is what a soul rich woman looks like!
(19:50-20:06) Now, this one will change your life. When you think about the stereotypical rich woman wealthy person, what do you think they will look like, sound like or dress like?
(20:26-20:57) Surely a rich woman has to have a mess. Chanel and all the big fancy brands and fancy outfits all the time, right? Go look in the mirror and say this affirmation to yourself. Point to your face and say this. āThis is what a soul rich woman looks like.!ā
(22:56-23:24) Then you will interrupt the pattern and remind yourself that you can be as a soul rich woman, as rich as you want to be, as much so rich as you want to be, as you love to be, as much wealthy as you want to be. And you can be as wealthy as you like, you start to believe that it's possible for you to be exactly how you are now.
Which affirmation will you use today?
(23:06-24:00) So which affirmation will you use today? Using Affirmations takes a bit of effort to remember. But if you can get into the habit, you'll see huge results in a very short time. Remember, you get what you focus on. So training your brain to focus on the positive really boost your manifesting efforts. Now, if you need some help starting to work on your money mindset, I have a ton of resources to help you. I have helped thousands of entrepreneurs break through their F-Word.
Key Takeaways:
Affirmations are a huge part of how I have manifested my life and business.
Negative self-talk is one of the biggest sabotaging patterns for yourself.
Don't hide - Your customer needs to see you.
You deserve to be rich when you serve.
A soul rich woman has to have a mess.

The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self
In this groundbreaking exploration, three New York Times bestselling authorsāDebbie Ford (The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Why Good People Do Bad Things), Marianne Williamson (The Age of Miracles, A Return to Love), and Deepak Chopra (Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment)ādeliver a comprehensive and practical guide to harnessing the power of our dark side.
Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and Marianne Williamson āNew York Times bestselling authors and internationally acclaimed teachersāhave joined together to share their knowledge on one of the most crucial obstacles to happiness we faceāthe shadow. These three luminaries, each with a signature approach, bring to light the parts of ourselves we deny but that still direct our life. For it is only when we embrace our shadow that we discover the gifts of our authentic nature.
The shadow exists within all of us. It is a part of us and yet we spend most of our life running from it. But far from being scary, our dark side holds the promise of a better, more fulfilling life. Our shadow makes itself known every day. It is the reason we get furious over a friend showing up ten minutes late, yell at our parents or kids when they have done nothing wrong, and sabotage our own success at the worst possible time. Until we are able to embrace our dualistic nature, we will continue to hurt ourselves and those closest to us and fall short of our potential.
Combining the wisdom of three experts, The Shadow Effect is a practical and profound guide to discovering the gifts of our shadow. These three authors powerfully pierce the veil of our unclaimed self, releasing us from the past and propelling us on a journey to wholeness. No longer living a half life, we are capable of achieving our dreams and reclaiming the happiness that is our birthright.

132: Keep What You Earn
(01:08-1:46) Now on this episode, I have completed an interview with Shannon Winston of Keep What You Earn podcast show, and I would like to share with you the interview done because in this show I talked about secrets of manifesting money quickly. Creating abundance in your life is not just the only ingredient to your financial success or to own your effort. You too, need another secret ingredient to own that level of success.
Turning Mess into Message
(04:29-04:54) I told my mom about all the different bullying situations that happened to me in school, and she told me this, turn your mess into your message now, even though I don't really get it at that point in time. But my tenacity and grit and determination grew because my mother was my source of mental and wellness and emotional support. And I persevered. And that's how I move forward.
Entrepreneur Rat Race
(05:48-06:38) But you see, it came to a point where I couldn't move anymore because I was stuck. I don't want to be a trainer of my life in terms of, like, I get paid, I work, I get paid, I don't work, I don't get paid. So I kind of have a quarter-life crisis at that point and ask myself this question, what am I going to do with my life? Am I going to be a slave to entrepreneurship? Now? I coined this term. A lot of people say it's the Rat Race. I call this the Entrepreneur Rat Race, which means you thought that you're an entrepreneur. You don't value your own time. You expect to be paid when you're a full-time job. But when you become an entrepreneur, you don't expect to be paid. You don't value your time. How do you spend your time every single day?
Key Driverās to Mindset Shift
(07:34-07:48) The key thing that shifted my mindset was the desire to change and the awareness of it. So having the awareness and desire to change, I put myself through causes. I think skill set is something that it cannot be removed from us.
Gratification that most Woman Have
Rewarding Yourself
(09:18-09:44) A lot of women said I want financial freedom. I want financial independence. And, yes, we can give you the sense. That's why we give you the help. And it's done. Once they hit their 10K month or 20K month and then scaling upwards, I'm like, hey, what do you do with your money? Oh, I bought a Chanel bag. I bought this brand. I bought the wallet I've been eyeing for a long time. It's a childhood dream.
(09:48-10:07) It's wonderful to reward yourself versus when you make the money and then you are not managing the money. You achieve that financial independence you achieve to a certain extent. You are just getting started. But if you're not managing it your financial independence could be entirely lost.
Spending For Family
(10:42-11:11) Family is important, but that bloodline. Or I call it the cash flow of business. It is that flow that keeps the entire business going. What if a client delays paying you? What if you needed extra emergency funds for whatever purposes, extra marketing dollars to get a few. Just maybe two more clients to get that going. So I think that will be delay gratification.
How to protect your Financial Independence?
(10:08-10:27) So this is one thing that I always advise women to do. Always pay yourself first. I think that's very important and use whatever that has been. I would say segmented out to pay yourself first and then use that to apportion out whatever you want to buy eventually delay gratification.
(11:13-11:37) Something I will feel very practical is if you really want something that badly for yourself or for your family, why not get two more clients? I always suggest to my coaching clients would be like, find two more person who will pay for that. So you keep a base set of clients for the retainer fee or whatever that you've made. Invest back and then maybe get two more so that you can extra buffer for the item that you always wanted.
Build a Team
(12:28-12:46) Find a peer group like a Mastermind 3,4,5 of you. It doesn't have to be big, like a community. No, just a small group where you stay accountable, where you are supportive of each other. And there's no judgment in that group.
Tips on Money Management.
Hire a CFO or Chief financial officer.
(13:44-13:53) you're not a person who can keep the money, hire CFO, and that was exactly what I did. I hire somebody and control my money to take care and handle for me.
Get a Mentor
(13:55-14:00) Really get a mentor who really guides you. What to do?
Repeat one and two
(14:06:14:25) Because we are entrepreneurs, we don't really listen. We have our own opinions. We have our own mindset, how we should spend our money. I would say, if you want to hire somebody, engage somebody, believe in them, fully empower them fully. And really, I would say, don't be the bottleneck of your business.
Put your Goals in front of You
(15:03-15:26) Put your goals in front of you because out of sight, out of mind. So that's how I work with my clients and myself. I put my goals. Let's say something we want to buy or we want to hire somebody. At this rate, we put our goals down very clearly and on the board so that we will not when we have the budget.
What does Being Online Really Mean?
(18:17-18:47) What online and really being there and present really means will be how are you showing up for your clients and people you serve every single day? Now there's a difference if you only serve a client by showing up once a week versus someone who is newer than you in the marketing game or online game who's showing up two to three times a day every single day for the next 365 days.
(19:05-19:18) If you're going to put in only 4 hours a week versus someone who puts in 16 hours a day hustling to get things off the ground and make sure they are seen and heard, then that will make a lot of difference.
How to Create your Personal Brand and Stand Out?
(20:52-21:37) Create your own. I would say your own ocean your own area instead of going to a space and be number two, be rather your own category. King of category Queen. I think that would be key. Like for myself as sole rich women's founder, I'm not just a female entrepreneur network that does the usual business stuff. We are very call focused on helping women to go from offline to online to own the F-word. Now how do we do that's later on. But the messaging out there to the world is such so niche that when people think about I want to go online, I will think about Soul Rich Women,
(21:47-22:08) So be very distinct on how you're serving your people. And that would be the question you need to ask yourself, which is what is the one problem that I can solve for my customers immediately right now so that in future and moving forward, they will pay me for my advice and for my service.
Missing Out is part of Making Progress
(22:35-23:40) The formal factor, the fear of missing out is huge. And I acknowledge that I will not say, oh, it's not there. It is. There. So the way in one key way I always get them to overcome is think about like an octopus. I don't know if you know, octopus. Octopus has eight Lakes. So think about you are building your business like an octopus. First, build one Lake until the Lake is successful most of the second Lake and then the third Lake, and then the fourth League. If I put it into a sports metaphor, it will be the golf go to a golf course. You need to hit the first, then a second, and then your third, and then to the last hole right there is a progression in everything. So don't deny the fear of missing out. Accept it. Acknowledge it. Say thank you very much for being there for me. And I just want you to get out of the door right now because I want to establish my key foundation so strong. My first Lake, my first hole, and I'm going to move through it until I'm so good at it.
Message to Entrepreneurs Struggling to See their Worth.
(24:33-24:50) Find five people who say and think that you are good in whatever area that you have probably helped them before because we lose confidence in ourselves. In the midst of all this online mayhem, we lose ourselves all the shiny star syndrome.
(25:05-25:32) So find five friends or five businesses. I would say peer to peer support in the community that you are in and get them to say something and recognize something that is good in you or you're really good with from. Establish a confidence once again in that specific area because they don't get paid by saying what's good about you or what you have shown up for them. Right? So, hey, that's something to get started with.
Switching Negative to Positive.
(26:25-26:27) We often as female entrepreneurs. We beat ourselves over little things that happen, clients not paying you on time, and then you bling or something. Am I that bad? And then when clients say something, am I really so lousy? There's nothing positive that you turn around? It's always the first instinct of the negative. So I think that reading something positive or have people around you who gave you the positive environment really will help you through. Remember, alone. You are strong together. We are unstoppable.
Delegation as the New Success.
(27:45-28:52) In fact, it was during my cafe chain business because even though I had the money, I had the business, I had everything that I have, I didn't feel as contented. I felt that something was missing. I was not doing what I was called for. And therefore, when I exited the business with my partners, I was like, oh, we've got to exit the public listed company. Right. So we exited the I say, hey, this is it. We're going to do something about it. So that was something that I wanted to move and to shortcut women's success. I would say that to help them to get the opportunities that they would have never thought of, to have it easier than me because I lend them my giant platform my giant shoulders and let them leap off to the next phase of your life. Because success is never about glorious wins. Like you said, never about the ego, never about the wins. But it's about how you can take a step back and let other people shine as well.

131: 10X Your Financial Independence by Building A Business and Brand That YOU LOVE
Today, I'm going to share with you how we launch 1000 episodes for our clients to achieve listeners in 60 countries combined and go from local to international in just five months, how our clients generated leads and sales of five figures of podcasting and how I built a six-figure podcasting business in just six months as an additional source of income to my business
Three Secrets to Succeed in Personal Branding
(01:41-01:51) 1. Discover how to turn your passion to serve to position yourself as an expert, including my simple tips to test to see if it will work.
(01:54-02:02) 2. Learn the key ingredients in my secret sauce that takes your personal brand from overlooked to overbooked and help my clients to earn five-figure and six-figures without running any
(02:10-02:29) 3. Look at how we built our business and brand using podcasting with an exact system so we can get leads and clients even when you are asleep and how you too can do it even if you aren't a tech expert or hate being saucy or pushy.
Take the Right Step on the First Day
(05:23-05:54) Practice makes perfect, but if you touch your heart, you practice the wrong thing. You make the wrong thing perfect. And that's not the result that we want for you. The result we want for you tonight is to take the right step the first day, so make the success habits the first step and then you go over it and then you own it. When you bring your business online the right way, that is going to make a huge impact on your life.
Be Authentic, Be Yourself
(06:02-06:23) To be successful. You don't have to change to be who you are. You have to be more of who you are so that people can notice you because you're authentic because you're real because you are you because nobody can replace you. Turn your talent into your business. Turn your passion into a paycheck by being you by being you and only you.
Five Key Mindset to be a Podcaster.
(14:31-14:45) Having a podcast show is not just calling yourself, okay, I'm a podcaster, and that's it. It's how your mindset towards being a podcaster is or having a podcast is that will transform your business and build a brand around podcasting.
(14:46-15:04) So number one, it instantly changes your status. Number two, it makes you an instant authority. Number three, it gets you speaking engagements. Number four, it has a high perceived value. Number five, you can build trust before selling.
(15:04-15:36) So these are the five key mindset pieces that you must have if you are looking to build a brand and business around podcasting, because if you don't have a belief that it instantly changes your status, that it instantly makes you an authority, that it gets you or possibly speaking engagements is high perceived value, or you can build trust before selling. That in itself will make a huge difference in how you approach matters on hand.
How do these Five Mindset Change the way you handle Social Media?
(16:56-17:13) Remember, the five key beliefs that you must have instantly changed the status it can get you speaking engagements is high perceived value. It can build trust before selling and instantly changes your status and instant authority. So when you have these in mind, then you approach social media differently
Be The Star in your Podcast Show
(16:13-16:55) So when you have a podcast, how do you approach this? You must become the star of your show. You cannot just hide and think that okay, I'm a podcaster. I hide behind that episode cover. I hide behind in that name. No, you got to get out there. So overall, this is what we call this Soul rich women blueprints. And I use this podcasting blueprint technique called Soul Rich Woman Blueprint to help my clients to be seen and to be heard online. Now, when you are the star, you can build your norm-like-trust core. Now, norm-like-trust core is very important, especially when you have a podcast.
Consistency is a Must in Podcasting
(17:28-17:53) The key thing of why we are successful and how our clients got five-figure sales and being seen as a leader was because they were really over consistent
Now consistency seems very elusive when you're looking at stuff. I want to share with you this when you look at consistency, it's not a one-day thing. It's not one day, two days, three weeks.
(21:31-21:45) So three things you must have a schedule of consistency. Number two, you really need to engage with your audience when they comment, you must reply to them. Last, but not least really have a targeted message to talk to them.
Secrets in Podcasting Effectively.
1. Consistency and Batching.
(22:18-22:28) In our platform, we help our podcasters to do four days of recording and to launch one year's worth of content. You can actually do four days of recording to develop one year of content, and we have a template for that.
(22:45-22:47) We have a template. We have a process for that to help them to achieve that
2. Glowing and Leading
Glowing with your Podcast
(22:50-23:18)Look into how you're glowing and leading. Now I want to share with you two beautiful main dream characters or Chinese characters. Now, a lot of people when they start a podcast, will think I'm a leader, right? But I would like to think of it as you are glowing with your podcast shows. The glow, the essence that attracts people to you will be your title, your podcast cover, which later on I will share with you a little bit more.
(25:26-25:36) So just by a slight tweak in the imaging in the way, who you want to target, who you want to speak to and how you want to be memorable to the people that you're talking to will determine how you will look on your podcast cover how you approach your podcasting so if you want to look at this by map.
Be the Leader in your content
(23:19- 23:28) Being a leader in your content. What exactly are you speaking about? So you need to be a charismatic leader. You need to find your own mastery.
(25:42- 25:56) When you have a belief that you can be the instant authority, you can be the leader, you change your status, you have hyper seal value, it can develop into a business. And that is what exactly we did for our podcasters.
3. Find Your Niche
(23:52-24:15)What exactly are you talking to? Who are you targeting? And how can you be memorable to your audience? And this is key, so just a quick few before and after to help you. Dr. John Tan is the Executive care director of Care Singapore and he's also the President of the Youth Work Association. So that was the podcast cover before the image that he was using. But because he speaks to youth when he launches the podcast, he wants to talk to youth. So choosing the right image that speaks to the target audience is important.
4. Building Small Agreements
(26:28-26:33) You must have small agreements. Don't think in just one podcast episode it will close sales.
(26:59-27:29) Just by building up her podcasting on her social media and posting on a fixed schedule, being consistent out there and then engaging with the audience. We also helped Joanne to build her digital products as well. And because people listen to a podcast show, people sign up for her five-figure program as well without any ads. And this was within months as well, within a month. Okay. So if she can do it, so can you.
5. Being Memorable
(34:45-35:20) Set aside time. Two days, four days is all you need. If you're doing micro podcasting to batch on entire years of content, the second secret is all about being memorable. Being memorable. If you are not memorable, you are forgettable. People, it takes only 7 seconds to remember you online, 7 seconds. And then if you are not memorable, your podcast cover is ugly. You are not catchy. You're not personable. People will forget you because in the online space people you just want people to stop the finger.
6. Do More with Less
(35:50-36:25) Do more with less, work on leverage. Now, leverage is important because if you have to believe and you know for sure that your podcast is going to be amazing, really see it and market. A lot of people are what we call they are just holding back. How am I going to say this? It's like you're just oh, I got a podcast, but nobody knows they have a podcast if you don't market it right. Marketing is really key and it's really essential, and you're ready to position yourself there.
Key Takeaways:
Be the star of your podcast show.
Be more of who you are.
Find your own mastery.
Building Small Agreements.
Do More with Less.

130: Build A Business And Life You Love
In today's sharing, I have an interview that was done with the Philippines, the CEO of VIP International, Richard Paredes. So he has interviewed me and I love to share with you this season of this episode. I think there are a lot of great nuggets for you to pick up on the stuff that matters to you the most.
Why do we need to value our clients?
(09:02-09:21) Every single Wednesday at 09:00 p.m. Sharp, I show up consistently rain or shine. So by doing so, I built up from zero, nobody attended my webinar. I have crickets, cockroaches and butterflies attending my webinar, right? Nobody else was there.
(09:46-09:51) I think it's all about giving value and being consistent to show that you are there.
(10:04- 10:45) So value is something that people don't really get it. They think by just going on a Facebook life, they just share and sell something on intellectual. I mean, that's great. But what is real value is that someone takes away something. If I can give you one or two AHA moments on the show, that is value. And that is why when I'm now launching my Make It Happen campaign for my book and my podcast show, I'm giving value to anyone today who wants to get onto my show three to five minutes. I'm going to promote you.
Why is giving value is important?
(11:01- 11:15) So what is value? So if you really want to help somebody, you know what? Don't sell, give value first. If they know, like, and trust you, they'll love you, they'll respect you.
(11:38- 11:49) So giving value, Rich, is just like what you're doing, really providing them know, like, trust goal so that they build a relationship with you.
(12:24-12:43)So I'm letting people tap onto our big giant shoulders to leap off, at least have an opportunity. You see, success is not about glorious wins, it's never about that. It's about taking a step back and letting other people shine as well.
Donāt Be Afraid to Start from Zero
(15:21-16;05) But if you think about it, yeah. Before, Gary Vaynerchuk him, Gary Vaynerchuk. He started wine TV, wine library or wine TV. And that has nobody watching it. Robert Kiyosaki started somewhere. Nobody even know about him until he started teaching and doing the board game. Right. So we all started from zero. And when we look at the successes of people, like, when people look at you, Rich people are like, oh, Rich is so amazing. You do your own show, you got this, we got that. And then they're. They're like, oh, but I can never be like Rich. But you know what? You just need to take a baby step.
The 3 Pās by Genecia
(16:12-16;30) Where is your dream? What is your goal? prioritize. If your dream is to be seen and to be heard as a leader, you want to be a leader in the agency, in your organization, on the online platform, whatever that may be, you have to prioritize.
(16:34-16:46) Get yourself with a network of like-minded, people, right? because like, attract like-minded people and then you get support and then people push you along, cheerleading you.
(16:53-17:24) Too many of you prepare but never launch. How many of you think about launching that podcast that Facebook live, that business that you want to do, the early-stage entrepreneurship that you always wanted to start to make money online. You're thinking you're always preparing, researching and preparing. Hope that one day when the time is right, TADA, you think that the fairy godmother is going to come down and bring a magic one and wave a magic one like Cinderella.
(17:45-17:47) Don't just prepare, prepare and launch it.
The power is in our hands.
(19:07-19:37) We have the power in our hands. And if you get out of the comfort zone, stop being a victim. Blaming the COVID, blaming the lockdown, blaming another person. If you take that power again, you know what? You can dream. You can make money online. You can have a side hustle that you always wanted to do. That's right, because it's never about the resources, it's always about the resourcefulness.
(30:01-30:50) If you are thinking, oh, life sucks. Life is lousy. That person's fault, and you stay in that box and you choose to stay in that box. Every single day, we talk about 21 days to build an amazing habit. Can you imagine it's only 21 days and you can't even keep doing it? And you have done the years of your life, 20 years of your life, 30 years of your life, 40 years of your life complaining. How are the 21 days going to transform into it 30 years, 20 years and 40 years of your life? Unless you choose to when you choose, you know what? You don't have to change who you are. But you must be willing to learn and grow your mindset.
Take a Different Perspective
(35:48-38:58) If you are not doing very well in this time of covid or having a lockdown, take a different perspective. What do your clients or potential audience need?
(34:39-34:47) So I've got this image consultant-client she's charging about. She's shown to sell a $3,000 package to engineers.
(35:26-35:06) Most engineers are behind the scenes behind-the-scenes. And the fact is, she couldn't sell her packages at all through the sum of the crickets literally zero. So when she came to me and I told her, I said, Why don't you consider changing a perspective, taking another perspective of what your audience needs? So after much brainstorming, I said, why not you sell them or promote to them how to look good on dates? Because most engineers are really nerdy. I'm just saying, generally they are nerds, but I believe they're really handsome engineers out there as well.
(36:11-36:22) But they don't have time for dates. Why don't you teach them how to look good on a first date? How do you do your social etiquette for the first date or the subsequent date?
(36:23-36:36) With the same pricing, she took a different perspective of their package. We looked at the client they're targeting, and guess what? She sold like hotcakes. The package is sold like hotcakes.
Importance of Knowing Your Market
(39:43-40:36)
Sell to everybody. Sell to nobody. Speak to one. Speak to many. So if you think about it, if I could give you a hard moment today about who your target market should be, then I want you to hop on the movement of making it happen because helping you to see a perspective overcoming a challenge of identifying your fishes is important for me, especially now when everyone is going online and the funny part is Rich, they are thinking I want a salmon head, a body of a shark, a tail of a dolphin. It's not possible. The fish is dead. The fish is already dead. By the time you chop them up and then put the jigsaw puzzle together.
(41:24-42:03) You have to just keep changing and moulding yourself into your customer's needs. Why not just be who you are. Be who you really are. Be authentic and tell yourself, who do you want to serve and then go to the next. Love your customers more than you love your product.
Take all Excuses out and Ask For Help
(54:52-55:15) But first, you need to get all of your excuses out of the sofa, of excuses, out of the couch of excuses. I went out to look for people who could help me ask for help. We agents are so unwilling to ask for help. Do we look weak when we ask for help? Well, to a lot of people, we look weak. But I want to encourage you today. Take courage to ask for help.
Take Courage to Be Who you are
(55:46-56:19) Take courage. I really want those of you who are watching this right now. You're not here by chance. Especially now. It's life. You're not here by chance. You have this intuition that you are here today supporting Rich on VIP TV to be here on this show. There must be a reason why you need to hear this right now. Remember, you don't have to change who you are. You can go from stuck to unstoppable without changing who you are and allowing that diamond to shine.
The Art of Delegation
(01:02:56-01:03:53) You need to learn the art of delegation. My mentor told me that if you want to scale your business or grow your business, you can't be a solo premiere all the time. I don't want to be a bottleneck of my own business. So when he highlighted to me that if I want to be the bottleneck, then I can just do everything myself because I am the best at doing everything myself and the best person I can finish doing the task in the shortest possible time and then I have no time, no freedom and I work as a slave myself. I really am a slave to my business. I mean, what is the reason you guys are out there doing entrepreneurship or making money online? What are the purpose and reason? Right. But you must be willing to work hard in the beginning and then find some ways to outsource 5 hours of your time just a week or a month.
(01:03:59-01:04:30) Ask someone else to do it for you, even for the women out there. Even babysitting, give yourself time for yourself. It's also outsourcing and delegating through. So by having this mindset of being able to let go and empower someone to do the work, even though they may not do as well as you. But think about it. With the extra 5 hours of your time, you could be making more money and this is a rich person mindset. A rich mindset.
The ASC Method in Communication
(01:09:43-01:10:37) Social media marketing. There are so many different parts to it. And whether is it Facebook, Facebook Page, your profile. Is it for Instagram? There are so many different ways to do that same thing called social media marketing. So I think we really need to be specific in our communication. And I always will use the ASC method, which accelerates your communication. Be authentic, C for clarifying without hesitation. So apply the ASC format. Okay. Really consistently clarify, clarify and clarify without hesitation. We'll help you to communicate better with your team and build your business and make money online without reinventing the wheel over and over again.
(01:13:44-01:14:20) Opportunity presents itself. But of course, like what we always see when the student is ready, the master will appear. Not the master has appeared. But will you be the student tonight? Today, tomorrow? By clicking on the link by submitting your voice recording three to five minutes to be on a podcast show. That it's international. That's going to bring your business, your brand, your leadership up one notch. Ten knots. Are you willing to take a step forward to make money online?
(01:17:22-01:17:34) But are you willing to take the step, or do you want to continue to be where you are now, but to be where you are now, to where you want to need to start
(01:17:35-01:18:04 Because every day, if you do a 1% improvement to be a different version of you, the other word I never say better. I say different. 1% just 1%. It's all you need every single day. And imagine that 1% is just three to five minutes. By the end of 365 days, you will have 365% of a different version of yourself, which means you go to the next.
Key Takeaways:
Be Resourceful.
Itās OK to start from Zero.
Take a Different Perspective.
Sell to everybody, Sell to nobody.
Prioritize, Push Yourself, Prepare to Launch.

Episode129: Money And Me
Hello, gorgeous. Welcome to this episode. Now, this was a presentation that I did and I shared about money and me, money and you and I would like you to transform your business and your life with these few concepts that I'm about to share in the presentation.
Value your time, you value yourself.
(03:50-04:18) How much is your time worth per hour? How much is your time worth per hour? Now, that's very important, because if you view the value of money, sometimes it's tight to your time, how you value your time and what you're doing every single 24 hours a day. So the way you spend your time is the way you value yourself. And it's the way that you can grow your abundance and manifest more money or abundance into your life.
What is Soul Rich Womanās vision?
(08:26-09:21) Life was more than just making money. Life was more than just whatever that I'm doing right now because I have no business background and I moved into building a legacy business that I call Soul Rich Woman. So this Soul Rich Woman, let me just share with you why I call it Soul Rich Woman. I believe that women or people and generally for myself, I feel that women should have the soul. They have a soul, once you have the soul, you have a soul, you can develop abundance in any way you want. So with the soul, that's how you develop and you evolve as a person and bear for the fruits of whatever they are doing. And that is the definition of Soul Rich Woman. And it ties in with the F word, fabulous, freedom, financial independence and happy family. And that defines not a person but how you value, at which point in your life.
Beliefs that help Genecia break through hardships in life.
1. You deserve to be rich when you give value to others.
(10:21- 10:41) You deserve to be rich because you provide value to other people's lives. So that is the first belief that transform my life because I also wanted to do free. I want to help those people who are poor, but I must make myself rich first. I must make myself successful first before I could give more to other people.
2. Be an excellent receiver.
(11:27-11:54) So as I'm giving, I must learn to receive. So when people ask me, oh, can I help you with your business? Can I get you or can I help you with this project? I say no, I can do it myself because I grew up at 14 years old fighting for my rice bowl. So I'm very independent. So I opened my heart to learn to receive, to be an excellent receiver. That's how the abundance walks through the doors.
3. Be grateful for everything you received.
(12:00-12:27) Become more and more grateful for every single penny and every single cent that comes in and goes out by having a gratitude mindset and saying thank you for every single sentence and writing down to the $0.05. I learned that by saying that appreciating every single cent gave me a lot more, 100 times more by being grateful for every single one that I have.
4. Practice this powerful mantra.
(13:02-14:24) All you need to do is just raise your right hand and put your right hand onto your heart. And then in three, two, one, let's speak this together. Three, two, āI love myself and I set myself free. This is my time, I'm ready for the next step.ā Now pause and breathe in and breathe out. Notice how you feel at this current moment. Be at peace and notice the feeling about taking the next step and relaxing. So that is my journey about money and with money. And notice how we've transitioned and being at peace and aligned with our heart. That's when the soul is truly happy.
Key Takeaways:
Give value to others
Do something you love.
Be an Excellent Receiver.
There is hope and light at the end of the tunnel.
Invest in Self-Healing and Personal Development.

Episode 128: 7 Signs You Need To Work On Your Mindset
Hey, gorgeous and welcome to today's episode. I'm your host, Genecia Alluora. Now today, I want to share the seven signs you need to work on your mindset. Now, when it comes to money, sooner or later, there will be a wake-up call that happens for each of us. Maybe the last year has been a massive wake up call for you.
1. When you know it's your time but something holding you back.
(04:38- 05:34) Finally, each year you set big goals thinking that this will be the year that your dreams come true. You might even have a book that is sitting on your computer 90% done or a program or course that's ready to launch, but something's just stopping you. Every day you wake up and you think now it's the time, it's the right time. But the moment your income doesn't match up with your intelligence or with your degree or potential and the gifts you offer up to the world, you are tired and you are tired of waiting for someone else to choose you or you deem that you are ready to earn more. I'm sure you're frustrated in yourself that you haven't done it yet, but maybe today is today and you know that it's now or never.
2. When youāve been practising personal development yet your money handling behaviour doesn't change.
(05:43-06:32) You love personal development, but the money hasn't shown up yet. Well, you could be feeling like a fraud or flaky person right now because you're doing everything right, but it's just not working. I bet you have a dream board, a vision board, or you journal your goals regularly. And you are a very positive person. You probably read every book that talks about making money abundance under the sun, but you feel like there's still a missing puzzle
It feels unfair if you're honest with yourself. You know that you've been sabotaging money behaviours that are working against you, but you can't change them.
3. When you don't earn what you are worth but you are aware of that.
(06:36-06:52) You don't earn what you are worth and you suspect that you're worth a lot more. The charge what you are worthing gets a really bad reputation, especially when we talk about it here in soul rich woman, you need to charge your worth, do less.
(07:00-07:34) It's because women don't see that they are worth the amount, and they're always using that excuse or that sentence. Women should just help women. Why should I charge or get someone to pay me for my products or services? I mean, you can't put a price tag on yourself as a human being. You're priceless, but guess what your business isn't. You have to name a price.
4. When you want to live a life worth living but you're compromising it.
(08:39-08:50) You want to live a first-class, amazing life, but you're stuck in the rut, you're stuck in your cupboard.
(08:53-09:41) You are sick of compromising areas in your life, like where you stay, what you eat, how you are treating your family because we're talking about owning and loving the F-word. So being fabulous, freedom, financial independence, and a happy family. So you're kind of sick of compromising all these four F-Words in your life, where you live, how you dress, or how you travel. It's exhausting, super tiring to have to justify every single dollar, every single cent. Think about it. Wouldn't it be nice and cool to have peace of mind that you can always make more money? You're seeing other women rapidly increasing their income and you are kind of jealous? It's okay to admit it.
5. When you're aware of your money handling capability but do not seek any help.
(09:57-10:01) You already know that you need a money mindset makeover.
(10:06-10:21) You might even have gone through situations when you think I've got to sort this out.
(10:22-10:50) For example, when you start to perspire when you talk to an accountant or anyone official or officially about money, or you sit and procrastinate like sending out invoices people send me their confessions all the time and say that they are so scared about money, in particular, talking about it and asking for it, you might even think you are really bad with money.
(11:08-11:16) It's about taking a practical inventory of your past experiences and examining it with all your beliefs and habits around money.
6. When you feel like you repel money.
(11:27-11:56) You know how to manifest money quickly when you need to, but it's not predictable or it comes at a great personal cost. Like, for example, you're stressed out or burned out. When you have a good month, you often attract unexpected bills or fines that will wipe it all out. So you're always going like two steps forward and one steps back, ten steps forward and three steps back. And that can be so frustrating.
7. When you want to make more money, but you're also scared.
(12:04-12:21) Some people are surprised to learn that even millionaires are scared. Making more money doesn't make the fear go away. Same for me, even at the stage where I'm at, making money is scary sometimes.
(13:05-13:31) You worry about losing your privacy or safety. You worry, you get scammed. You worry about friends and family asking you for more money. You worry that it's going to be a hugely negative experience and you can see where I'm going. This is common and you can see these conflicting things and how much they could be holding you back.
Embracing the money blocks
(13:38-14:01) Everyone has their flavour of money blocks, and I'm here to help you identify yours and clear it.
(14:37-15:13) Remember, Money blocks donāt have to derail you. You can embrace them and move on to creating the life that you want, the F-Word that you want for yourself, family, financial independence, being fabulous, having freedom, but it all starts with your awareness. Once you know your block, you then can stop sabotaging behaviours that you can stop them, that they will not come and haunt you. And then you can move on to the next level. That's when you can make money, no matter what.
Key Takeaways:
Know your worth.
We all can have it all.
Create a money mindset reset.
You're priceless, but your business isn't.
Money blocks donāt have to derail you.

Episode 127: 3 Money Goals To Set For 2022
Hey, gorgeous. Welcome to today's episode. I'm your host, Genecia Alluora. Now in this episode, I want to share with you three money goals you could set for yourself for a great year ahead. Now, don't resist it because goal setting is free and I'm here to help.
Three money goals to set for yourself.
(02:36-02:48) Actually opening up a savings account and making a savings goal is a great sign to the universe that you're ready for more money to show up. And it takes a huge mindset shift to allow yourself to have access to money.
(04:26-04:44) So set a savings goal and take action today. Start by saving just $5 a week on an automatic gyro or automatic debit system and if you have already saved money, increase your weekly amount, you won't even miss it.
2. Set a Goal to be Debt-free.
(04:49-05:08) Now, debt is another area that we sabotage ourselves with, or we sabotage easily with ourselves with it keeps you trapped. Maybe in a job that you don't like or obligated to work with clients you don't like either.
(05:49-06:12) When you make the decision to get out of debt, it can mean choosing a corresponding rise in your rates and income, which often brings out some of your fears and blocks and sometimes the worst devil that is within you. It takes commitment and guts to make a plan to get rid of debt and then follow through with it.
Tip: Get really honest with how much debt you actually have or already have.
3. Set an Income Goal.
(07:34-07:52) Set an Income goal but not just your overall goal, like a million dollars. Okay, I want you to set goals around different income streams in your business. In particular, set a total revenue goal and a passive income goal.
Closing Message:
(08:44-08:55) Create momentum in the things that you are doing. It's never just waiting for the next big thing. It's about doing the small little things and taking small steps forward to the bigger goal.
Key Takeaways:
Set a savings goal.
Set a goal to be debt-free.
Set an income goal.
Don't procrastinate plan.
Repetition is key.

Episode125: THE END OF YEAR RITUAL TO FINISH THE YEAR WITH A BANG
Hey, gorgeous. Welcome to today's episode. I'm your host, Genecia Alloura, founder of Soul Rich Woman and creator of the Soul Rich Woman blueprint. In today's episode, I want to talk about the end of year ritual to finish the year with a bang.
Recognize the good things youāve accomplished.
(04:09-04:48) So it's best to do this with someone who understands you, who sees you, for you and your accomplishments, and who will draw out of you, who will draw out all these lists of things that you are proud of this year. So take turns asking each other what you're proud of. Start with, I'm proud of and list things out.
(04:52-05:09) Then you can move through business accomplishments. Then you can move through tricky situations that you've dealt with, boundaries you have enforced, goals that you have achieved, personal accomplishments, awards that you have won, anything that you want to acknowledge yourself for. Don't be shy or modest. It's time to shine your light on everything you have done because you deserve to shine.
Why it is very important to recognize all wins?
(07:44-08:15) Keep asking and don't give up. Recognizing everything you've achieved in this phase of adversity is so good for you. It's awesome to remember everything. It's also great to manifest and to acknowledge all your wins, both big and small so that you can attract even more luck and abundance into the new year. Work on a mix of business and personal. As long as you get at least 30 to 50 good things.
Always have this phrase in mind āwhat elseā.
(06:43-07:19) Don't give up the list of accomplishments and things you're proud of is important. But the question, what else is extremely important too? You probably get stuck at about the fifth or the sixth thing you're proud of because you just don't want to brag. You don't want to talk about accomplishments. You discount who you discount your achievements or simply just forgotten or what I call kind of like denial. You just live life and then just sweep it under the carpet and you don't think that's necessarily an important thing.
Key Takeaways:
Shine your light
Acknowledge all your wins.
Write it down all your achievements
Read your accomplishments.
Manifest your wins.

124: 5 TIPS TO GET THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS WITHOUT TRIGGERING YOUR MONEY BLOCKS (TOO MUCH)
Hello gorgeous and welcome to today's episode. I'm your host, Genecia Alloura. Today I want to share with you the five tips to get through the holidays without triggering your money blocks or triggering too much of your money blocks.
Five things to do to make sure your money blocks aren't triggered.
1. Have a kind response
(02:22-03:27) A go-to response. When your family asks you about potentially triggering topics. This can apply to questions about your business, so it pays to be prepared a hit of the time. Now you might have someone in your family who constantly ask you, how is your business doing right now or what are you doing for business again? Or do you mean you change another business? Are you qualified to even do this and they make you feel like shit? Here's the thing, you don't have to tell them about the ins and out of your business. You don't have to tell them how many clients you have, how much they pay you. You don't have to tell them anything if you don't want to. Here's a really simple go-to response. It can be something like, hey, it's doing great. Thanks so much for asking. Well, there's a lot of things happening. I'm very excited. Thanks so much for your concern. As simple as that.
2. Change the subject
(05:29-05:37) Get really good at changing subjects. Now, this is what we call in NLP called a pattern interrupt. (05:57-06:34)
Instead of answering all the business questions, all your money or your bankruptcy or your debt or anything at all that makes you feel stressed. You know what? Get good at changing subjects and you can say, oh, I love this Steamboat that you have just made. What's in it? Yeah, I love this so bad. What ingredients do you use? Completely bypass what they have just asked you or yeah, it's doing great. What about you? What's new about you? New on your side? What's going on with you?
3. Be clear about what you want.
(07:29-08:03) If presence triggers you, then there are a couple of ways around it. You could just freak out, ask people, what do you want for your present or tell people what exactly you want for your present. Direct them. Don't just assume and don't make it a test of their love or their love language, and then blame them later. Okay, well, if they love me, my parents will finally get me the present I love. No, no, don't test them. Just tell them what you want. Don't worry about if people don't buy you the right stuff, just tell them.
4. Don't keep presents you don't like.(09:16-09:45) If you get presents you don't like and it does trigger all memories, you don't have to keep them. You can say thank you graciously, but you do not have to keep them. You can go straight from your house and drop it off at the charity store. Someone else is going to love that. If you get presents a bit before the holiday season or festive season and you open them and you don't like it, you rewrap them and donate to charity.
5. EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique or tapping.
(11:30-12:08) This was a technique I learned in 2000 and I think 2008, and I love it so much. It's like my secret weapon when I'm going through emotional trenches and emotional laws. So if you are in your family house and you're getting triggered, go into the bathroom and do a little bit of tapping. Okay, now I would know that you will say even though I have these feelings, even though my family are annoying, even though nobody loves me and buys me presents that I like, I deeply and completely love and I set you myself. So say that to yourself.
Key Takeaways:
Have a kind response.
Change the subject.
Be clear about what you want.
Don't keep presents you don't like.
Emotional Freedom Technique

Episode 123: Lead To Greatness With Genecia Alluora
Hello, Hello, and welcome to today's episode. I've completed an interview with the Lead to Greatness podcast and with this host, Cedric Francis. I loved this episode so much and I would love to share this interview with you. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Turn your mess into your message.
(9:45-10:14) I think it's all about not being a victim of my circumstances, my mental, social, emotional circumstances. My mum encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and go towards the dreams I've always wanted to achieve because the sky is the limit and there's no storm that we cannot conquer. My mom keeps reminding me that adversity is just a past, something that doesn't hold us ransom. I applied this tremendously in my life, and I believe that our past does not equal our future.
What drives Genecia to empower women to go after what they want and their biggest dream?
(11:12-12:03) The three things would be I wanted to create a legacy and help women to have this A, B and C. Of course, A being awareness, having the awareness that they can have the F-Word, that it is possible for them, and B have the belief that they can have the courage to fly to wherever they want to go, C having the consistency to pursue and hammer at the constant goal that they want to go for. So the ABC is going to, even though it looks so simple, it's not
Complicated. It's very easy. You just need to focus on ABC and help them have the awareness, allowing me to connect with them.
How has failure shaped her entrepreneurship journey?
(14:53-14:57) Failure has given me perspective. I think it's not just failure. These are just lessons.
(15:20-16:10) I had joined a partnership with my friends. And that was one of the reasons I went into the six-figure debt. They left me hanging we started a business together. There was no contract. There was nothing black and white. And it was just, okay, we are friends. So let's do something together and we join forces and we do a dating agency of sorts. But it didn't work out. And because I was a major shareholder, nothing was done. I lost a major amount of money. Right? And that left a scar in me. So typically, if I had not taken failure positively as a lesson learned, like, don't do business with friends? Because first and foremost, let me put it into context for you. It's about the value of money.
(18:11-18:18) So where do you stand in terms of your failure? How do you view it? How will you turn it around for yourself? Remember my mother said, turn your mess into a message.
How did she build one of the leading women support groups in Southeast Asia?
(20:43-21:10) Have an open heart. Think of yourself as a big tree. I think that's one you must be willing to give. I think to have a sustainable business model and help others in a way that allows them to take on the opportunity as well. So we run on a subscription-based business model.
(21:35-22:06) So we always allow the women to ease into growth, whether it's an entrepreneurship journey or to acquire whichever effort their dream allows them to. So from $12, we move up to the next and then we move up to the different mentoring programs and stuff like that. So that progression is something that allows women to dip their fingers and toes into something that they want to do. And that's how we grow the network.
How did she successfully manage a fully digital company, working with remote employees from different parts of the world?
(22:56-23:56) I think first and foremost, you must have a project management tool. I use Asana. I do that, A-S-A-N-A, Asana. And then I use Skype for daily communications. And last but not least, we have a common place like Google and Dropbox, Google Drive and Dropbox to share files and things like that. I think that allows me to work with remote employees. I think there are three things I learned. I was never being able to let go of the task that I was doing work that was doing. I find that I became the bottleneck in my business. But if I were to grow a business scale business, I think the growth strategy is to learn how to delegate.
How to delegate?
(26:18-27:12) The mindset shift was to sit down and be diligently writing out the task of all the things that I want that I'm doing right now that I could potentially outsource and get someone else to do it. So that sitting my ass down was one of the hardest parts because you are doing it day in, day out. It's so simple and so straightforward for you. So it's so easy and has so much flow. But to sit down and list it out logically with clarity. It's something that requires a lot of effort and discipline and to tell yourself that if you write it down, then you can hand it over. When you write it down, then you can delegate. And that's how I come up with this workbook to teach people how to delegate 80% of their Todo list so that they can make money online.
Final Thoughts
(28:42-29:02) Step out of their comfort zone, quit thinking and start doing because what is life truly mean to you? Is it fear or is it the fabulous, the freedom, the financial independence and the happy family? Really? the sky is the limit and there's no storm you cannot conquer.
(29:27-29:35) Don't lose sight of your goals. Sometimes the shit hits the fence, pick yourself up and keep going forward.
Key Takeaways:
Be willing to give.
Learn how to delegate.
Take failure as a lesson
Know the value of money.
Turn your mess into your message.

Kim Kiyosaki: Invest In Yourself And Get To Financial Freedom with Rich Woman
In this episode we have a very special guest is none other than Kim Kiyosaki. She is an Internationally renowned speaker, best-selling author of āRich Womanā and āGood Deal, Bad Dealā, Radio Show Host, Entrepreneur and Real Estate Investor. She is also the founder of the Rich Woman organisation. Kim realised early on in her career that she didnāt want to be an employee. In search of something more, she worked to develop her skills and made her first real estate purchase. She now controls millions of dollars of investment property and is committed to helping women achieve financial freedom through investing and taking control of their financial futures.
Rich woman book
Kim Kiyosaki wrote the book entitled āRich Womanā. Here she shared the inspiration behind the birth of the book:
(3:45)The reason Genecia I wrote Rich Woman was because Robert and I, we travel the world teaching the Rich Dad philosophy taking two big groups and I will get up on stage and I will speak to the women for just a few minutes and at every event whether it's Singapore or we're London, Tokyo, Johannesburg wherever it was at the end of the event Iād always be surrounded by women and they had the same questions and the same issues and the biggest thing I realized is there's a huge huge huge demand for women to be educated about money and actually,we women, not only have we not been expected to know much about money but weāve actually been taught to depend upon somebody else for our financial well-being.
Financial Literacy
Financial independence is not based on gender. It happens through education. This is Kimās encouragement for women to be financially secured:
(4:52)So my whole message is we need to be in control of our finances we need to step-up and be financially literate and ideally it's up to each one of us to be financially secured
(5:07)Nobodyās gonna do that for us
(5:09)No financial advisor no financial planner it's up to us. And it's not rocket science anybody can do it but it takes time and it takes education
She added that to be financially stable requires a process:
(6:17)Actually starting to take control of your finances starts very simple. You start small and take baby steps we donāt go for the big deals we stick with the small deals. And the most important thing is that understand thereās no secret sauce, thereās no magic pill
(6:49)Itās a process and itās a process of education, itās a process of experience but itās not difficult.
(06:58)itās just a matter of committing
Risk taking in Business
You donāt have to have it all figured out to start a business. Oftentimes you donāt have anything but risk. Hereās how Kim started from nothing:
(7:41)I started with nothing and Iām gonna tell you that the best thing of all is that I didnāt have the money, Robert and I did not have the money.
(8:10)Probably for the first 10-12 real estate deals I did, I did not have the money now what that forces you to do is get very very very creative
For Kim, she chose real estate as an avenue to invest:
(8:22)Once you see the property or whatever investment it is youāre interested in. Once you see it , and touch it and feel it then put your mind to work on how can I now get the money, how can I create the money in order to get the investment.
(9:54)What you want to do is create positive cash flow. My investment of choice is real estate thereās many other ways to gather cash flow whatever works for you.
(10:05)But we had 10 thousand dollars a month cash flow from our rental properties. But we only had 3 thousand dollars a month in living expenses. So at that point $10,000 coming in and $3,000 going out we were financially free.
Achieving financial freedom
Financial freedom may seem difficult at first but it is not impossible. As Kim ventured into Real Estate this is what they experienced:
(10:39)Number 1 I did not have to worry about money anymore and number 2 it gave me the luxury to ask myself what I really want to do with my life. So itās all about financial freedom.
(10:50)Itās about freedom, not so much about the money but freedom is that having choices to live the life you want to live. Thatās what itās about.
Filling up the gap in your cash flow
Thereās no one way to fill the gap, but the key is education and being fearless. Here is Kimās encouragement:
(11:57)I made a ton of mistakes, a ton. I mean thatās the key to success, Iām gonna tell you right now, that the key to success is making mistakes everybody is still afraid of making a mistake, the only way we learn is by making a mistake.
(12:24)The key is you gotta got into action I will always say get some education get some education get some financial education on the asset class you like and then once you have some education start very small take baby steps put a little money down because as soon as you put so many down my interest goes way up.
(12:57)One thing I recommend for women especially is to go out and buy a 1 ounce silver coin. itās been across 20 dollars US today. But what that does because you know got this asset this gold or silver coin all of the sudden your interest will go up will look at the prices of silver every single day, whatās it doing. Why is it up, why is it down? And because youāve just parted with 20 dollars US you become this quasi expert on silver.
(13:31)Iām a big believer in youāve gotta put some money down, get into the game and then thatās where the real learning happens. You gotta go out and do the real thing.
Raising kids and being married while building your wealth
Your family, most importantly your kids should not be a reason for you not to seek for financial stability. Although Kim and Robert donāt have kids, she shared a very good example here:
(14:09)Robert and I do not have kids, really by choice.
(14:19)But my girlfriends for example Lisa Lannon, sheās a Rich Dad advisor, she and her husband Josh, they have very successful businesses they have 2 kids they involve their kids in their business, they involve their kids in their investing so when they go out and lock at a property they bring the children along so they educate the kids as well as educate themselves. So for women, especially with the internet thereās so much opportunity offer in the internet for business and things like that I think the parent of course can be the best teacher. So why not include the kids. It amazes me how young kids get interested in money. They know about money. When their very very young. So why not educate them while your educating yourself.
(15:14)I donāt think it has to be one or the other. I think you can do it together.
(15:21)and same with the relationship same with couples Iām not advocating for the woman to go out there sheās married and she has a life partner then she goes out there and do this all by herself and separate from her spouse this is ideally investing itās something you want to do together as a couple because you grow together you learn together.
Invest in yourselfBeing a woman is not an excuse to remain financially dependent on someone else. Be encouraged with Kimās words:
(20:00)Most important investment is to invest in yourself and to invest in your education. And for me, itās about your financial education.
(20:12)At some point you gotta put yourself first. As a woman we tend to put everybody else first, we put our husbands, our family, our kids, everybody else first . There comes a time you gotta say āhey! I gotta put myself firstā
(21:05)Oftentimes, too many of us women find ourselves in a financial crisis and theyāre not educated about money. They have no idea.
(21:27)Especially if you are a mom, I think you owe it to yourself to get financially educated to take care of your kids in case something happens.
(21:53)When people say āIāll try to get thereā āIāll try to be thereā āIāll try to make itā If youāre saying Iāll try, youāre already saying āIām not gonna do itā . Cause try doesnāt even exist.
(22:22)So just be honest with yourself
The secret of Success
Thereās no such thing as a secret to success, according to Kim itās all about personal development and letting go of fear:
(28:07)Well thereās really no secret except we work on ourselves we work on this because this is what holds us back the fear the doubt the all of the things that get in our way thatās what holds us back from success.
(28:29)For somebody who is just starting out. If youāre just starting out in investment, in real estate, in a business, itās scary because itās an unknown. You havenāt done this before we got this horrible fear of making mistakes. So when we come up against obstacles and things like that oftentimes this is the biggest obstacle. So if we can keep clearing our thoughts, our beliefs, our ideas especially around money, that can free us up to move forward with a lot of energy.
Women Empowerment
This is the perfect moment for women to stand out and stand up. Gone are the days of taking the back seat. Here is Kimās call to all women:
(38:11)For women right now Iām saying women we need to go for it the world is really messed up right now itās messed up financially, economically, morally, ethically and I think itās up to the women to turn things around because we deal with different energy, we deal with different spirit we bring a whole different personality to the world.
38:42-39:05 Right now itās up to women to stand up to start being role models start being leaders in their families in their communities in their cities in their countries and thatās more why I speak or why I educate itās not just about you getting financial security itās really about women stepping up in taking leadership roles and really changing the world.
Transformation
Financial situations that hinder us from being secure can only be changed with real transformation. Here is Kimās explanation based on Neuroscience:
(39:51)If youāre in that situation you gotta ask yourself if I keep doing what Iām doing every single day am I gonna get the outcome I want?
(40:10) If they keep doing what theyāre doing is that gonna change that situation or not and if itās not then they have to ask themselves what do I need to do in order to change it? So, for real change to happen, real transformation to happen it's a four step project, a four step process. One, you gotta get information. Two, you gotta take action so if somebodyās in that situation and theyāre not doing anything different nothingās gonna change so you got to take action thatās different. the 3rd step is whatās called feedback so for every action we take, every single action we take thereās feedback.
(41:28)The fourth step is called incubation where you take time being yourself and really incorporate what youāve learned into your body of knowledge.

Be a woman in power with Elena Cardone Grant Cardone Empire AUTHOR | PUBLIC SPEAKER
In this episode, weāll be empowered through the words of wisdom of our special guest. She is the Queen of her Empire, she has designed, constructed and protected a life outside of the ordinary. She has inspired a legion of followers to create their own empires ā lives that are truly fulfilling and beyond the average. She counts her current job as her most important one ā Chief Family Officer, where she is a loving mother, fierce wife and loyal friend.
Overcoming roadblocks
Elenaās life is quite challenging because she experienced a lot of struggles at a young age. She witnessed a fire across their house and killed two people despite their efforts to put out the fire.
(4:47)āAt 14 years old not having anything so traumatic occur in my life I just wasnāt skilled enough at my age to deal with something like that and my father had fought in World War II and he was a military person and weāre just very conservative family. So it wasnāt like there was any time to really to cope it was life must go on.ā
Despite all this roadblock she pushed her way to move and step forward which led her to become the independent woman that she is now.
Passion and desire
(5:55) āSo at 17 I decided Iāve got to get out of here Iām going to Los Angeles Iām gonna be something Iām gonna become an actress.ā
Indeed, because of her passion and desire she got her 2 and half month contract in Tokyo as a model and actress and became somewhat successful. She did modeling, acting and commercials as well.
Independent woman
(6:21)āWhen I met Grant the first five years of our marriage I was still doing this woman independent thing like we were married and I thought marriage is monogamy. I thought it was only about that. I didnāt realize that if Iāll partner up with someone it strengthens the numbers.ā
(7:23) āWhen economic collapse occurred thatās when I decided to trade in my acting career which I was terrified to do because it was what I depended on for my survival since I moved to Los Angeles by myself at 17.ā
Getting used to being independent as a teenager it was a challenge for Elena to see how a husband can contribute to her success as a woman.
āWe had a power struggle because I am super independent and I donāt want anyone to control meā
Financial Freedom
(8:29) ā We wanted to take that power in our own hands, so I have this idea about this empire, okay if he is the king and I am the queen and this is our empire what do I want it to look like? Who do I want to surround ourselves with? Do we hang out with the people with drugs and alcohol?ā
So, Elena and her husband cleaned up their lives because itās part of being a positive influence. They focused on building their empire, foregoing all luxuries they enjoyed before to pool all their resources towards their business, until they become successful and gained financial freedom.
(9:18) āNow that we have created so much success in our lives financially we do have financial freedom not just financial independence.ā
Tips on How to work with a partner(9:46)āA few little adjustments to get you both operating on the same page so that you can really utilize each otherās horsepower to push yourself instead of without even realizing it working against each other or you might go like this or you must like go straight down. But if you actually know how to work together and know each otherās roles, strengths and weaknesses and how you can build together, like push yourself on. Just eliminate the few incorrect pieces of datum because as they say āknowledge is powerā.
(10:22)āIf you get rid of bad key elements and then tweak and get on the same page it so much easier than you think. Thereās still gonna be work, thereās still gonna be sacrifice, itās still gonna take time but you will be able to exponentially up the rocket fasterā
Solving Problem
(11:02)āStop thinking so much unless itās a broad picture of possibility.ā
Start looking for the possibilities, start looking for the opportunities sometimes your biggest problem can be your biggest solution. If you are having that problem you figure out how to solve it, chances are if you solve that for other people you can scale that business out.
(11:45)āIf you need to have help, if you need to, hire somebody while you figure this out donāt feel like you are a superhero and do everything yourself at some point maybe ask your friend to help you until you can afford to pay someone to help you but you just have to go out and do something. Take action, stop thinking and do and you can do even if your knees are trembling, even if you think itās not going to work and you feel ridiculous.ā
Equipping womenās confidenceWomen's are powerful. As Elena stated:
26:27 I wanna equip women with the confidence.
(26:36) I want women to mind their own goals who are they, not only a brand but as their contribution and not with hold that from the world like if we all lived up to our potential or try to fight for the greatness how could that impact the world. We could make a big difference wouldnāt just be a fairytale idea in my head like there would be real transformation. If people actually deliver their gifts and I want women to expose that and give it to the world and stop with holding and stop thinking their not good enough. And stop thinking they have nothing to contribute. Itās so selfish women are so powerful, and so dynamic and there so aesthetic just imaging if the world operated that aesthetic wavelength you know how difference just that could be.

Be authentic with Sue B. Zimmerman
In this episode, we have a very special guest. She built her career empowering entrepreneurs and marketing professionals to utilize the power of Instagram to get tangible business results. In short, she is an Instagram expert. Our guest that will enlighten our minds and encourage us is no other than Sue B. Zimmerman
How is the power of influence being manifested?
Sue B. shared about the power of influence and how she influences others. According to her:
(2:43)āThe power of influence is when other people talk about you so you donāt have to talk about yourself. Itās the amplification and broadcast from other people sharing your knowledge.ā
Being authentic
Sharing posts on Instagram is valuable.
(3:23)āMeaning you educate, empower, or inspire in some way where someone scrolls to your feed and stops their thumb from scrolling, itās a thumb-stopping content and they look at it and it changes something in their mindā
You must be careful in the posts that you will share on Instagram because thereās a lot of people who can see it and it can affect you a lot. After all not all you see on Instagram is true.
Sphere of influence
Being influential is quite challenging because you canāt please everyone. No matter what you are doing people can always comment on your act whether itās good or bad. Sue stated that:
(3:46)ā I think that thatās influential I think that, that is opportunistic, I think, that is a way to attract other people that youāre meant to be serving and to your point growing your business, growing your leads and sphere of influence.ā
Donāt believe everything youāre looking at
Sometimes what we see is not always true. Because we are being played by some people.
(7:30) āYouāve got to be showing yourself consistently over time and the space that you want to influence. Because there are many people who want to make money on Instagram like I want a hundred thousand followers so I can get paid to be an influencerā well number 1 is: Do not ever ever ever ever buy followers 2. Not every follower is equal itās more important to be attracting the perfect follower who will ultimately buy your products or services or believe you when you endorse another product or service because they like you they like your brand and they like your business and they trust you.

FWEP112 Why anyone can be successful online and be a person of influence with Neil Patel, New York Times Best-Selling Author
In this episode, we have a very special guest. He is a New York Times best-selling author. The Wall Street Journal calls him a top influencer on the web, Forbes says he is one of the top 10 marketers, and Entrepreneur Magazine says he created one of the 100 most brilliant companies. He was recognized as a top 100 entrepreneur under the age of 30 by President Obama and a top 100 entrepreneur under the age of 35 by the United Nations. He is Neil Patel.
Online success
No matter the platform passion is the starting point of success. Work on what you are passionate about.
(2:35) If you want to succeed online what you need to do is go and find something you are passionate about and go on and do that. So, thatās the first, if you donāt know what youāre gonna do as an entrepreneur youāre not gonna succeed online. You have to do something. You canāt just go with the vision of āI want to make moneyā that doesnāt work find something youāre passionate and solve a problem and make your solution ideally affordable and easy to use.
Content creation
Choose content that you are most comfortable with. Not because it worked for others it can work for you. Find your expertise and work from there.
(3:17 )The strategy for creating a lot of content is to find content that you create the easiest. Some people are gonna write, some people are gonna audio some people are better at the video. So find what you are naturally good at and do more of that content.
(3:32) The second thing is, create a content calendar, which will help you map out when to write the content, when to release the content, which will help you do content in quality.
Journey towards success
We canāt escape the fact of experiencing the ups and downs in life. But most important how do we find a solution for the problem that we have.
(4:20) A lot of ups and downs but the key is if you love what youāre doing youāll continue pushing forward and youāre gonna make mistakes and learn from them and then just avoid making the same ones over and over again. And eventually, youāll get to where you want to be.
Inspiration for content
You will always make time for what stirs you up.
(4:37) I love what Iām creating and if you are passionate itās easy to create but if you are not passionate itās like pulling teeth, itās hard.
(5:05) Youāll find the time if you are truly passionate
Two heads are better than one
It is said that two heads are better than one and man canāt live alone. So in the business world, we need to look for someone who can help us in our business.
(5:40) When you are a solo entrepreneur the best thing you can do is try to find a business partner. So, think of a marriage having two people is easier than one to raise kids and a family.
With a business, you want to find someone else who is a business partner who has different skills than you.
(5:59) Find someone who complements you, who does different stuff that will help you grow faster.
Person of influence
Being a person of influence is quite challenging. But the question is how do we use our influence? We must always remember not to take advantage of the influence we have over others.
(6:10) My influence lies in entrepreneurs and marketers and I grew my influence by just helping people.

FWEP00111: Win your money mindset with Denise Duffield Thomas The Lucky Bitch
In this episode, we are talking about a woman of influence. We have a very special guest, a money mentor for the new wave of online entrepreneurs who wants to make money and change the world. She helps women charge premium prices, release the fear of money and create First Class Lives.
Knowing the Power of influence
Knowing influence will serve you as a leader in your family, community, and friends to the people that surround you. Being influential can be learned as Denise stated about the influence.
(2:30) āYou could learn how to influence, you could learn how to be more charismatic and you could learn how to be a leader. You could persuade people, you could influence people to behave in a way that you actually want them to behave. But that would feel really good for them as well. And thatās when I got the concept of being a leader and leadership.ā
A woman of influence is a challenging role because you must be careful with the way you act and speak.
Common Myths about the power of influence
Sometimes we canāt escape the fact of being scared of something. (4:04)āSo,one thing that I found a lot of women is scared about. They are actually scared of their own innate ability to be a leader and to influence others. Because theyāre worried that itās kinda bit manipulative. And theyāre worried that they might use that power to do not-so-good things rather than do good things.ā
A lot of people want to be influential but they donāt have the courage or sometimes they are too weak to withstand others that they are often taken advantage of. But most women want to become influential to touch and change lives.
(4:31) āA lot of women, want to influence people so they can help them transform their lives, they want influence people so they can encourage to do something good for themselves. But I think that's the misconception that people think or worry. That if they really enhance that power in themselves that will be very manipulative.ā
Maximizing Women of Influence
An empowered woman can do great things with her influence and touch many lives in wonderful ways.
(10:12) āIt has massive opportunities for women to have their own business to make their own money, empower other women, hire other women to inspire other women to do the same, thatās what the world needs at the moment to make the smoothest shift to shape the world in ways that would benefit a lot of people.ā
How do you measure influence?
(10:51) āInfluence to some people means power. It means being on top, being the winner making and earning money; beating everyone else. For women, we can use our power for good so everyone thrive not just a few people and itās not about beating other people. Thatās why people shy away from this feeling of wanting to be influential, because we feel like, one person can do it.ā
The downside of being influential
(13:05) I donāt want to be political and controversial.
I donāt want people to think badly about me.
(13:43)You have to consider your words a little bit more.

In this episode we have a very special guest she is Veronica Tan. She was recently awarded the 2017 Global Women Inspiration Woman award in London. The award recognizes the contributions of women towards the Advancement of personal growth and championing the development of business Women globally.
Realizing the dream
Our lifeās calling will come to us as we do our best in what we are currently working on. Like Veronica, the foundation for Success Resources came to her and her partner as she was attending seminars while still employed.
(1:15) So I stumble on personal development and realize thereās more to life, more to what we do and be better and bigger.
(1:25) So I started to attend seminars and then, of course, over time because of the program, events that I do, we go, we meet the team of people, like my partner, Richard today, and my other business partner Patrick Liew.
(1:55)When you love what you do just go into 27 years.
Be mindful of the company that you keep
As we go along this life we will meet a lot of people, we will encounter different personalities and characters. So we need to make sure that the person or people we hang around are reliable and can build us up. In Veronicaās words, she said:
(2:08) I was fortunate because, Then I was only an employee and I do go and attend a lot of enrichment program and then through the enrichment program I meet a lot of people and is really like what we say today, it is about "who are you surrounded with?ā Because the people you hang around within this area of learning and growing so that's how I chance upon it.
(2:34)So I think itās very important that you know who you hang around with.
(2:39)You are the average of the 6 people you hang around with the most
(2:49)Most of the time I hang around with my husband which is my business partner now Richard Tan, the other partner Patrick Liew was really very instrumental to train me to expose me to the area of public speaking and meeting people. Other than that person that Iām very influenced by is my family members and then the speakers that I hang around with. So, in the early days, it was people really like Robert and Kim Kiyosaki whom we started with until today is actually 20 years of partnership that we become good friends. Through Robert and Kim, we really got to understand the power of personal growth and business development, financial investment.
(03:44) The last person is Tony Robins these are the people who have influenced us in what we do today in the area of our business ethics, work ethics, and the way we treat people.
We must be wise in choosing who we call friends or partners in life.
Business Ethics and Principles
In this life, we do have different business ethics and principles. How we grow our business will affect how we treat people that surround us. Veronica and her husband are strong believers in treating people well.
(4:21) Number 1. Love people- Everybody has greatness in them. So look at everybody youāll see their greatness, youāll see their goodness that nobodyās born to be a bad person āAlways look at the greatness of somebodyā and ask yourself what can I do to bring out the best in this person. So itās people's development.
(4:49) We believe in people and we value people we look at people big and small.
(5:05) From the non-successful ones we call them small people and then we coach, build them bring the best out of them and that they become great. So we believe in people.
(5:18) The second one is about honesty and trust. We cannot do things alone if you donāt trust your team, you donāt trust people, you donāt trust your partners, you donāt trust the speaker then nothing will happen. Then youāll be so careful and so cautious then you will fall into the scarcity mindset. Because you donāt trust so you start with trusting people first.
(5:42) and then you control risk. I think things can go sour, go bad, So what? So Most important is you know itās a controlled risk, you have to trust the process, trust the universe that all would be great.
From nothing to Something
We all start from scratch, most of us started small before we become great and successful.
(6:42) We evolve from starting as a small team and grow along the way definitely we faced challenges in the area of people. Recruiting people, finding the wrong people. In the end whom you trust did not turn out the way you wanted. And of course, some consequences but they happen but again so what?
Making Mistakes
We will make mistakes, we should not dwell on them but use them as a learning experience.
(7:23)We made mistakes in the area of working with the wrong people and then we also made mistakes in the area of finding the wrong speakers sometimes we are not perfect.
(8:09)So in the end, I do have struggles with speakers I picked wrongly but again so what?
Having Faith
Running a business is never easy, it is not a walk in the park. But according to Veronica with faith, your business will grow. Here are more of her words of wisdom:
(8:55) I know I have faith and have a God. If you are obedient, you are faithful I believe God will take care of us. So if you do the right thing again, the universe will take care of us.
(9:14)Youāre doing the right thing the universe will bless you, will open doors for you so there is an element of certainty and trust in yourself first. Now can I make mistakes? Of course. Thatās why I said so what because itās an experience that makes me a better person.
Work-Life Balance
Part of being truly successful in managing all areas of your life.
(10:05) My favorite line is that itās true, you canāt have two persons at one time in managing. I call it value or rules. Richard, I make him the head of the business, head of the family I just stay as a neck. So, you know the neck actually controls the head.
But yet you give him you want to be the head.
(10:35) And you just stay as a neck to manage them. And tell them to turn left, turn right turn up, look down so because of these so-called values and principles I have with my husband, so we donāt clash, we donāt fight as much, as you hear other people canāt work with their spouse. Because thereās always conflicting values and conflicting instructions so we are quite clear with that and thatās what kept us working happily for 27 years.
Managing a team
Handling a group of people can sometimes be a challenge. Here is a nugget of truth that Veronica wants to share.
(11:34) Everything is by agreement, so I have a prearranged agreement with my team, my husband.
(11:47) We are a team, we need each other. You are great at doing this, Iām great at doing this so letās not cross boundaries, then coupled with respect.
(11:59) Respect the agreement, that okay you do your thing and I will do mine. We welcome feedback. We make mistakes, if thereās feedback donāt get upset and learn.
(12:17) Be open to learning
Lessons for start-ups
Starting a business takes a lot of courage, these are some of Veronicaās advice:
(24:21) First, learn to be self-aware of who you are.
(26:45) Sometimes you have self-doubt then we say am I trusting the right person or not? Am I making the right decision or not. Definitely, these things happen but if you have fear you have to act in spite of fear and just do it. Of course, we all pray that we make the right decision, but if we make the wrong decision you wonāt die
(27:22) You canāt afford to lose but the better attitude is whatever I lost I must know how to find it back and get it back. That means I made a mistake, then the next thing I do I must be better. So much better than I can make up for my past
Being a queen of inspiration
Passion for what you do makes all the difference.
(28:17)What I do is a way of life it's part of my life, I do this every day so Iām not looking at it as a job or as a work. So I just live my life, it might sound monotonous but getting upcoming to work, helping the team, inspiring people, running events Iāll still do the same. Because I know thereās still a lot of people out there who have not been exposed to personal development so I think thereās so much more work for Success Resources to do. Not just Singapore but worldwide.
Key Takeaways:
Donāt stop learning. Learning is a lifelong process
Always find the best in every person.
Surround yourself with the right people.
Get up and make things better if you make mistakes.
Dream and fight for it!

109: 21 Lessons On Launching An International Platform And Make It Profitable Part 2
Welcome to todayās episode! The part 2 of 21 Lessons from launching Soul Rich Woman and many other launches.
(1:25-11:44) Number 11. Now, LAUNCH RESISTANCE IS REAL. Now, everyone experiences it so the fact that if you have resistance, people have resistance signing up for your programs, products, or your services doesnāt mean that youāre not meant to launch.
(1:54-2:09) There are a lot of resistance. People ask questions, funny questions, weird questions, interesting questions, you know. Donāt take it as a sign to stop. Just keep going even though people are resisting.
(2:40-3:03) Number 12. REFUNDS WILL HAPPEN. They are a business right of passage and are inevitable. Do not stress about it. Doesnāt mean when people ask for a refund, you are not good or you are lousy because everyone get refund request all the time.
(3:41-3:49) So celebrate the wins and focus on that rather than celebrating and focusing on the negative, right?
(3:50-4:03) 13. PEOPLE WILL STEAL YOUR STUFF. Now donāt stress too much about protecting all your IP. I mean, some people will join, competitors will join, and steal your stuff
(4:07-4:26) I mean get legal on them if you need to put Terms & Conditions in place. Donāt hide for fear that this will happen. Now, this is pretty rare and lots of people will miss out on your goodness if you let the fear of all these copycats stop you from launching.
(4:27-4:30) Number 14. PEOPLE WILL UNSUBSCRIBE.
(4:33-4:35) Unsubscribes will go up during a launch.
(4:47-4:53) And when I launch Soul Rich Woman there were unsubscribes because maybe itās not relevant to them.
(4:55-5:13) Thatās okay because we canāt just hold on to the people forever. I mean peopleās needs and peopleās seasons will change, right? Itās nothing personal. Just turn off those unsubscribe notifications and celebrate for those who stay on your list.
(5:18-5:30) Number 15. PEOPLE WILL GET PISSED OFF BY WHAT YOUāRE SELLING. Now people will get irrationally angry that youāre selling something even if youāre giving away 90% of your stuff for free.
(5:31-5:56) I am a true-blue experiencer for that. Thatās why I have to tell you this. It sucks, okay? And it hurts. I already did 3,000 episodes of Facebook live- FREE, content that I teach and share my knowledge. And then people get angry about the stuff that we are selling, right? But you know what? Itās okay for you to make money from your business. If people donāt like it, they donāt buy it, thatās okay.
(6:03-6:22) Number 16. PLAN BUT NOT TOO MUCH. Donāt get caught up in creating the perfect planning spreadsheet or that perfect launch spreadsheet. You know what? A simple google document to-do list will do just fine. Action beats perfect planning every time.
(6:38-6:41) Number 17. YOU WONāT BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT EVERYTHING.
(6:42-6:46) What is on the paper and what is in your head sometimes, donāt get translated out to reality.
(6:48-6:56) You can just keep a file of ideas for next time. Okay? You wonāt be able to implement everything this time but itās handy to keep it in one place so you remember.
(7:28-7:38) Even though you wonāt be able to implement everything now, you will still be able to implement something especially after more experiences accumulated.
(7:38-7:47) Number 18. INCENTIVIZE AND SUPPORT YOUR AFFILIATES. Iām a true believer of affiliates or what we called associates partners
(7:50-8:04) Because they will help you to sell more because you are also leveraging on their audience. But it takes work to support them. Like you need to increase your customer service capabilities because your affiliates will have a lot of questions.
(8:38-8:56) I donāt assume that they know how to become an affiliate of Soul Rich Woman or an associate partner of Soul Rich Woman and EduPac. You have to spell it out, literally. Like how to log in, how to use your affiliate links, how to market well, how to even talk about your program.
(9:14-9:19) You will also attract different types of affiliates depending on the price of your program.
(9:32-9:37) And people love competitions so have a sales or a leads competition.
(9:56-9:58) Launching- donāt do it alone.
(10:02-10:18) Number 19. MINDSET, MINDSET, MINDSET. I worked through so many blocks during the launch. Book in with your mentor to smash through the blocks. Talk to your mastermind everything you need to keep your vibration high.
(10:18-10:33) 20. MISTAKES ARE INEVITABLE AND VERY VERY VALUABLE. You are going to make mistakes, I confirm and I guarantee that. And thatās fine because each time you launch youāre going to get better and better. Each time you launch youāre going to build on the next level of success.
(10:34-10:37) Number 21. DONāT COMPARE. Everyone starts from zero.
(10:56-11:03) We all start somewhere, alright? Donāt assume that everyone has seen your stuff. Launch it again!
(11:05-11:10) I hope that you are ready for your next step. I really admit that.

108: 21 Lessons On Launching An International Platform And Make It Profitable Part 1
Today I want to talk about the 21 Lessons from launching Soul Rich Woman, doing our membership programs, and I would love to share them with you.
The Biggest Lessons
(1:31-1:49) Here are some of the biggest lessons from our biggest launch ever. Number 1, Life happens so get prepared- Life always happens. During the month we launch Soul Rich Woman we have lots of stuff going.
(2:00-2:03) Itās really helpful to do at least some stuff in advance
(2:05-2:16) Because letās face it, life doesnāt stop just because you are launching your business or launching a podcast. Donāt leave everything to the last minute.
(2:16-2:21) Number 2, Get support. Now, you donāt really have to do it all by yourself.
(2:25-2:43) I mean whether itās your podcast or your book or your business, whether itās a product-based business or a service-based business, I want to tell you this: Outsource as much as possible because it will multiply your output.
(2:51-3:08) You can get people from Fiverr or Elance if you donāt have a big budget because there are so many⦠so much moving pieces to launch a business or podcasts or everything or otherwise go check out https://www.instanttribeleader.com/
(3:35-3:36) Number three,
(3:37-3:40) Sales pages take forever!
(3:42-3:51) When you build a sales page to launch either your business, your podcasts, your products, or your services, sometimes it will take 10x or a hundred times longer than you will think.
(4:02-4:07) Even with an existing sales page, making tweaks take so much longer than you think.
(4:15-4:33) Good sales page can take hours and hours of your time. So do it early and take some time to sometimes take a breathe off and away from your sales page so that you can come back with a different perspective and continue working on them. So never ever do it last minute.
(4:33-4:38) Number 4. Email cannot be your only marketing channel
(4:39-4:57) Donāt assume that everyone reads your emails. And honestly, deliverability over the years since I started going online since 2013 has gone down because of stronger spam filters, promotional folders, and email fatigue.
(4:58-5:11) You have to promote on all your marketing channels. From your podcast to your Facebook, to your LinkedIn, to your Instagram, to your Tiktok, to your emails, to Facebook ads, wherever.
(5:31-5:41) It is important that email canāt be your only marketing channel. And also people are often decluttering their inbox and even their FB feeds with apps.
(6:39-6:46) Number 5. Spell stuff out for your customers. You see people donāt always read too closely.
(7:03-7:18) We have so much problems with people who just donāt read at all even though theyāre provided step-by-step instructions like arrows pointing here, arrows pointing there, to tell them the really obvious stuff.
(7:38-7:43) Sometimes, no matter how many times you say it, youāll still get emails or WhatsApp.
(7:54-8:09) When actually, everything is done automated. All you need to do is just fill up the form for the Make It Happen micro podcast show and record on the phone itself. Just submit a voice note or voice recording of 3 to 5 minutes recording using your phone.
(8:11-8:12) You donāt need a fancy microphone.
(8:15-8:18) People are just busy. They donāt read at all.
(8:19-8:23) Number six. Pretty doesnāt necessarily sell.
(8:40-8:58) To be frank, donāt try and get too cute with design in your materials logo, no problem. But honestly, sales page can be really simple. Donāt let your Buy Now button or Sign up now button get lost in the crowd of beautiful images.
(8:59-9:00) Number seven. Track your conversions.
(9:05-9:15) Now if you donāt understand that 1 to 2% of people will buy over time the statistics will play out. Unless you are doing more high-touch selling, then YES you can convert higher.
(9:16-9:20) Number 8. Book in self-care. Take care of yourself. Have self-love.
(10:04-10:14) So really, itās important to put them together and put yourself together so that you can care for yourself while building and launching your business.
(10:31-10:36) Number 9. Track and celebrate every success.
(10:56-11:04) Number 10. Deadlines, bonuses, and incentives work. You really need to build up your deadlines, your bonuses, and incentives.
(11:10-11:16) Humans need scarcity and deadlines to motivate them. So get it done.

107: Power Of Self-Love
Welcome to todayās episode. Iām your host, Genecia Alluora. Today I want to talk about a huge lesson in self-love. The power of self-love is key to a lot of womenās success.
A lot of women are extremely nurturing and loving to everyone except themselves. Some psychologists say is because from an early age girls are taught to be helpful, selfless, and no to trouble anyone. I think it causes some women to feel guilty as if they are not worth spending time or money on or even asking for help. This attitude has a direct impact on our weight, health, relationships, sex, and success and holds back so much potential that could make a huge difference in the world to own and love the F-word.
Take care of yourself
(2:21-2:25) Now, I have to admit being one of the worst in self-love.
(2:29-2:42) I was on the ground with several jobs on the go. As a waitress, I was teaching yoga, aerobics, line dancing and not giving myself physical care or even rest.
(2:44-2:59) Now, I remember a really bad time in my life when my self-care was at an all-time low. Now, it serves as a powerful reminder that I am in control of how I feel about myself.
(4:12-4:30) Of course today, I am much better now. But I have to remind myself that Iām allowed to take care of myself lovingly and I deserve a great relationship. That even though Itās something that I still need to work on, at least Iāve come a long way since that day.
Self-love is important
(4:31-4:54) So why is self-love so important? Now, there are some women who seem effortlessly, confidently, beautiful and things just magically happen for them. They might not be the smartest, the nicest, or the most attractive, but thereās something indefinable that makes them stand out like a star.
(4:55-5:38) And usually, these women get what they want because they ask for it and they feel like they deserve it. Itās just as simple as that. They think nothing of treating themselves as they would a special friend or someone they love. This is not selfish. This is a form of self-love and acceptance. Now self-love and self-care is not just about buying yourself flowers, going to the hairdresser, going for massage, but treating yourself how you would treat others. This includes forgiving yourself for mistakes in any area of your life. Itās about being kind to yourself.
What makes you feel special and loved?
(7:02-7:20) For me, I love spending time alone in solitude. Sitting in my beautiful space, either at home or in a park, or just listening to podcasts and enjoying the beauty around me along East coast park.
(7:21-7:32) When Iām busy, fun things go out of the window. And when we are busy, fun things go out of the window because we think we donāt have time.
(7:33-7:51) When money is tight, we feel guilty about spending money on non-essential experiences. The reason why itās so important is that when we laugh and have fun - we feel lighter and happier. And this affects how we treat our bodies as well.
(8:04-8:13) Donāt let budget issues hold you back from self-care. Itās usually a reflection of how you treat yourself on the inside
(8:36-8:47) Now there are plenty of things you can do that donāt cause too very much money to have very good self-care and therefore power of self-love is unleashed.

106: You're Totally Worth It And Confidently Beautiful - Here's Why
Today Iām doing to share with you that You are totally worth it and confidently beautiful like Miss Universe and Mister Manhunt, or a clean shirt, or a new notebook, or fabulous hair, whatever that you are totally worthy of or confidently beautiful of. Fabulous, Freedom, Financial Independence- whatever that may be to you. Itās entirely up to you.
You Matter
(1:49-2:13) Recently, I read something that Oprah said that struck me. Apparently, rich people will still smell their workout shirts to see if they can wear them again. She realized that she was doing it one day and said to herself, āI deserve to wear a fresh, clean shirt, and Iām worth it.ā
(2:48-3:12) Now I told this story at my recent workshop, Soul Rich Woman Blueprint because I utterly believe that great success comes down to self-worth. You show other people how to treat you by the way you treat yourself. But also you will need to send a very strong message to the Universe that you deserve more and are ready for more.
(3:31-3:39) I just wanna say this, you are worth it, and you deserve whatever you want to create in this world. You matter.
(3:43-3:51) I totally believe in not being wasteful, but many women take the whole self-sacrificing way too far.
(4:41-4:46) I told myself that I really deserve to have an easy life.
(5:01-5:10) So I just wanna tell you that there are some clues that you might be treating yourself like a poor thing or poor person. Itās like a poor mindset.
(5:41-5:55) Like for example, you are only shopping in thrift stores or what we call like the second-hand stores when other people in your family get newer and nicer clothes or because you feel bad about spending money.
(6:03-6:15) Or sometimes you have this thing like you try to do everything yourself, to do something yourself. For example, dyeing your own hair, or tinting your own eyelashes or eyebrows with disastrous results.
(6:54-6:59) But you know it just makes you feel different.
(7:01-7:11) Perhaps you are already widely successful in one area of your life so you would feel guilty if you were great at any⦠everything.
(7:34-7:59) Well, a lot of women think that when they become the little Miss perfect, they are being arrogant. They think theyāre bossy. They think that they become unrelatable so they donāt go all out. They just choose to function in one F-word for example- Fabulous- and they are poor in Financial Independence. Their marriage is not very amazing as well.
(8:00-8:14) But I wanna tell you here, you can have it all. No guilt, no sacrifice required. Just decide that you are worth living an amazing life to be confidently beautiful because you are worth it.
(8:15-8:30) However, this starts with you. The Universe isnāt going to treat you like a VIP until you do. So celebrate and anchor positive experiences.
(8:37-8:49) So really, you see measurable results in the real world when you show self-nourishing action. This is a sign to the Universe that you are ready.
(8:58-9:12) Remember itās how it makes you feel. FEEL- the feeling is very important. Remember, good feelings attract good feelings and thatās how the law of attraction works.
(9:14-9:39) And like I said if you do this you might just attract the new opportunity that will push you to the new path. Well, itās not going to happen outside yourself. In fact, the first step is deciding whether youāre worth it, whether you decide to own your F-word, whether you are confidently beautiful and then youāll be proved right every time.

105: What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up? Itās Never Too Late To Find Your Dream Job
Iām Genecia Alluora the author of two best-selling books; Make it happen and Personal branding secrets. Former Ms. Singapore, international Cafe Retail chain owner. Southeast Asia Woman of excellence 2010 and International Progressive Woman 2019. I am also the founder of Soul Rich Woman.
Today in this episode, I wanna talk about what you want to be when you grow up, and itās never too late to find your dream job.
Everyone loves to ask our children that question. Mainly because they will say very interesting things, like a doctor, astronaut, maybe a ballerina, a veterinarian. Of course, children arenāt so bothered by the fact that theyāll one day need a job that pays the bills or need to have skills that will pay the bills or care about making sensible decisions and choices. They just want to do what makes them happy.
What was your burning desire as a child?
(3:16-3:31) Most people have a secret dream of what they want to be and to do with their lives. Some are already living it - either as a career or as a hobby. Otherās are too scared to even articulate what they want.
How do you discover your dream job or your purpose in life?
(3:39-3:47) Look for clues. Now, finding your ideal job or purpose is really obvious when you connect the dots when you look back.
(3:54-4:14) Itās really been a dream for a really long time, or it just fits perfectly with your innate skills and talents. People who find their passion in life say that āEverything just came together.ā or āAll of my experiences in life has led me to this.ā
(4:23-4:27) Clues can be found in childhood as well.
(4:53-5:08) If you have no idea but you know for sure that youāre not doing it because anything about what Iām doing now isnāt specific enough for the universe to manifest the right opportunities, people, and resources to help you along the way.
(5:15-5:50) First, āWhat do you love to do?ā. Two, āWhat have you always dreamt about doing with your life?ā. Three, āWhat do other people tell you that you are fantastic and fabulous at?ā. Number 4, āWhat dream courses do you think about taking all the time?ā. Number 5, āIf you didnāt have to worry about taking a pay cut, what about other people thought about you doing with your life? What would you do?ā.
(5:56-6:04) These are the questions sometimes I ask and talk about on my lectures as well as in my coaching with my clients.
(6:05-6:42) So I would say take the first steps and do it afraid anyway because once you have an inkling and idea of your passion like a light bulb of AHA moments, then you can take some steps towards changing your career or living in your purpose. For example, volunteering, shadowing someone in your chosen field, being an apprentice of Soul Rich Woman, taking it on a side hobby, or completing a course like a Soul Rich Woman Blueprint to get new qualifications. It doesnāt matter how old or young are you- time is gonna pass by anyway.
(7:13-7:14) Life is really short.
(7:17-7:18) You only live once.
(8:28-8:51) So I would say, make the change. I know that making drastic changes can be scary, I get it. But itās also liberating. Quitting a horrible job is awesome. Applying for your new dream job is a great step in the right direction, but you have to do something. Otherwise, youāll stay exactly where you are now.
(8:53-9:45) And if you canāt afford to make the change, then start to plan how you could ease into a new career without completely derailing your life or cause yourself so much stress. Put aside a bit of money for your program, start changing your spending habits now to anticipate a drop in income, or spare some time outside your current job to move towards your dreams- #Sidehustle. Now, you might be working late nights and weekends for a while, but I guaranty, it will pay off eventually and you will enjoy because it will be entirely for you. Remember this is about you. Itās never about me. You investing in yourself is not gonna change my life one bit.
(9:55-10:02) Even just indulging in your passion as a hobby that will make big changes in your life, do it.
What are you doing or going to do to make a change in your life?
(10:52-11:04) My answer to you? OWN IT. As you make the transition into your new life you have to start seeing yourself in a new way before other people will.
(11:38-11:41) What you say becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
(12:45-12:54) Now, if you feel uncomfortable telling people your dream, then get out there and get some experience. Everyone has to start somewhere.
(12:59-3:10) Donāt be embarrassed, okay, if you have to start at the bottom. And sometimes with purpose and passion fueling you? You wonāt be there for long.
(13:32-14:07) When you grow outside of your limitations, fears, and self-doubts. When you grow out of the need of needing other peopleās approval. When you grow out of living up to the expectations of others. When you grow out of those neigh slayers and dream slayers giving you co-blanket. When you finally give yourself permission to dream and be happy. I love to hear about how youāre making your dream a reality one step at a time.

What You Can Do When The Law Of Attraction Is Not Working For You
Welcome to todayās episode with Genecia Alluora. Author of two best-selling books, Make It happen and Personal Branding Secrets. Former Ms. Singapore, cafe retail chain owner, Southeast Asia Woman of Excellence 2010, and International Progressive Woman 2019. She is also the founder of Soul Rich Woman.
āIn todayās episode, I wanna talk about what to do when the law of attraction isnāt working for you.ā
Law of Attraction
(1:25-1:33) When I first came across the law of attraction very much earlier in my career, itās really very very exciting.
(1:40-1:52) So you think,ā Oh my god! How could this be possibly true? Can I just really ask for something and get it, Genecia? This is amazing.ā
(1:53-1:56) You see you can set goals, make a dream board, and wait.
(1:58-2:20) And you feel like youāve done everything right because you pasted all the photos, the images, the car you want, the house you want, the husband you want, the money you want. And so you get really pissed off because nothing happens, right? So you said to the universe, ā Hello, why Universe, youāre not giving me, whereās all the things I asked for on my dream board?ā
(2:23- 2:31) I had someone ask me for advice recently, and she was confused about how this works. She love following our podcast show.
(2:38-2:54) And she was incredibly frustrated. Sheās like, āGenecia, Iām really panicking. I have no money in my bank account right now and Iāve got three big bills to pay this month. What am I supposed to do?ā
(2:55-3:15) So I say, āTo start with, stop feeling bad and scared about it. It will only make it worse. So even though youāre worried, start by, first, affirming that everything will be okay. Two, visualizing you paying the bills easily. Three, feel the feeling of being so taken care of by the Universe.ā
(3:16-3:34) And she said, ā You donāt understand what Iām saying. How am I supposed to do that when no money in my bank account? Itās true! Everything that youāre saying is lovely, Genecia. But in reality, there is nothing there in my bank account.ā
(3:36-3:46) So you see, negative affirmations are just as powerful as the positive ones. When you say, āI have no money, Iām broke.ā
(3:55-4:07) You will only perpetuate the feelings of fear and anxiety. Which will probably attract even more bills and unexpected expenditure.
(4:08-4:15) And the funny part about the situation was that she couldnāt see the pattern. Of course, I mean because I am the mentor, right?
(4:19-4:29) But then again, after communicating with her, she still couldnāt see it. So she was constantly experiencing this feeling of having no money.
(4:35-4:45) And she was unwilling to look inside and change. I told her to stay positive and to affirm that something would come up.
(4:47-4:55) And it did. Someone eventually did give her money out of the blue, and she was saved that very month.
(4:57-5:16) Then the horror story came. The next month she wrote to me again and said, āGenecia, I did another Law of attraction experiment like you said and asked for $2000 to show up today, and it didnāt. Why?ā
(5:44-5:53) But you know what, there is a process here. Itās not always going to show up instantly if youāre not willing to do the inner work involved.
(5:55-6:16) Itās really so much fun when things manifest instantly. But most of the time, there is a time lag, and thereās no way of knowing how long. Why? Because imagine between us and our dream and the things we want to manifest, thereās so many blocks in between.
(6:20-6:38) The faster you want to manifest something, it only makes sense if you clear or de-trash your garbage, the clutter, in your life. Especially in your mind. Because we are not truly aligned to what we want and we have to do some emotional or physical decluttering. It can be symbolic.
(6:43-7:01) To let the Universe do its job. We may have to look at self-beliefs that we have around money or take stock of some of our bad habits. Most people canāt be bothered and they just wanted instant solution and find a magical fairy.
(7:05-7:17) And not do any work towards it or change their behavior in any way. And to make matters worse, they will keep complaining and whining and they love to blame people.
(7:19-7:27) Because you know what? My law of attraction method didnāt work for her. The Soul Rich Woman blueprint didnāt work for her because sheās complaining, sheās not willing to do the inner work.
(7:29-7:33) āItās somebody elseās fault!ā And they are always blaming someone else.
(7:34-8:06) If you have done some emotional decluttering. They are very clear, and youāre very clear on your goals and you are taking some actions every day, then your desire, your dream, your goals will show up eventually. However, it is incredibly important during the time length to remain totally aligned to the feeling of the outcome. It will be hard to be open to new opportunities and possibilities if you are worried and stressed.
(8:11-8:25) You have to feel it before you have it. And that can be very tough for some people. When you allow doubt and resistance to come in, you will actually block your natural flow and ease to receive abundance.
(8:40-8:53) Trust me. You can learn to be lucky, to be able to attract the F-word into your life- Fabulous, Freedom, Financial Independence, and happily; easily and effortlessly.
(8:54-9:04) The trick is to master the Soul Rich Woman Blueprint, to stay positive even when your reality is temporarily something totally different.
(10:19-10:27) I just wanna say this, āBelieve it before you see it, I guarantee it. Your stuff is on its wayā.
Key Takeaways:
1. You have to feel it before you have it.
Believe it before you see it.
Be clear on your goals.
Stay positive.
Donāt perpetuate the feelings of fear.

103: Your 1st Step In Becoming A Millionaire Starts Today
In todayās episode, I wanna talk about your 1st step in becoming a millionaire starting today. I work with women who have big dreams. Iām not just talking about 7 figures, Iām talking about game-changing status. To those women who have a tremendous vision for their lives. I know that they are going to make it happen. So stay tuned!
(1:45-1:59) Now one of the first steps when working with a new client is typically, āTell me about your dream day exercise.ā You know the exercise where you share your million-dollar lifestyle.
(2:15-2:37) So after my client is done dreaming, I ask āHow can you start living that millionaire lifestyle now? Like right now?ā. 99% of the time, my client would usually tell me āHuh? What do you mean? I do have money now, you know. Thatās why Iām hiring you as my mentor and coach to guide me, right?ā.
(2:40-3:16) Then I ask again āHow can you start living your millionaire lifestyle right now?ā I insist that you, and also my clients, to make room right now for whatās to come. Because if your mind is completely clotted you must declutter in order for you to be able to receive. If you donāt seed right before you can achieve it, then how are you going to visualize it and eventually achieve it.
(3:19-3:50) So I just wanna tell you something that will blow your mind. The psychological reason why making space for a million-dollar lifestyle right now is so important because if you act as if and if you see it before you achieve it, it allows you to manifest your dreams because you are taking a leap of faith. You act on faith. It requires you to expect things to come to you as if you already had what do you want.
(3:51-3:56) But I just wanna tell you this, āMoney does not make people happierā.
(4:05-4:19) Now psychologists can measure the levels of peopleās happiness through instruments such as inventories and assessments. Here are some more complex statistics that from the research I think that drives the point home.
(4:20-4:31) The key thing here is there is no difference in the levels of happiness between a person that makes 50 thousand dollars and 50 million dollars.
(4:56-5:12) Your happiness levels donāt change, no matter how high your income climbs. So that extra money you make isnāt going to bring extra happiness. I mean the key to happiness is really finding happiness right now.
(5:26-5:41) Happiness is about how you can bring the joy into the present moment. So itās time to step into the joy of what your future lifestyle will afford you because you can have a piece of it right now.
(5:45-6:02) You donāt have to wait. So hereās your assignment, how can you start living your million-dollar lifestyle right now? Pick one in your life that becomes a non-negotiable expense or a non-negotiable gift.
(6:03-6:21) For example, want to travel monthly? Well, start by saving so you can have a trip at least once a year. Imagine driving a really fancy car? Well, rent one from a luxury dealership or car dealer for the weekend.
(6:25-6:55) Start to strategize how you can delegate tasks to an assistant to give you more time freedom. And go to the resource https://www.instanttribeleader.com/ . Now, I want you to go there to grab the project kits and the workbooks that can help you to be delegating out like 80% to your to-do list to give out to your assistant so that you can make money online and function in your zone of genius.
(7:01-7:16) This is really very important. If you want only to work 20 hours a week, go to https://www.instanttribeleader.com/. As always, figure out which task you can delegate, automate, and eliminate to work more with less.

102: 10 Ways You're Showing The Universe You're Not Confident And Not Worthy Of Living An Abundant Life
In todayās episode, I wanna share with you 10 ways youāre showing the universe youāre not worthy of living an abundant life. Now, do you feel like youāre not worthy of having an abundance or happy life? Are there ways youāre showing the universe that youāre not confident, and unworthy?
Make-do Solution
(1:25-1:31) Just over the weekend, something happened to my studio. There were a lot of flies in the studio.
(1:50-2:01) And they were all flying around in the room. Itās those very small flies and these are the flies that we find in the toilet. So we tried to clean it ourselves.
(2:12-2:21) There were so many things that we did ourselves. And after the cleaning, it did not get better.
(2:38-2:56) So it can get really quite scary. And finally, after many days of staring at those flies, I finally called a cleaning company or a pest company who specialize in getting rid of pests to help us.
(3:06-3:34) And they came around with their giant machine and it took less than 15 minutes and they cleared everything and that cost us $200. Now, $200 to solve the problem. In fact, remove the problem immediately and completely thus saving me the torture of having flies flying around me during my recordings.
(3:40-3:49) But I have to admit, I was first reluctant to pay it because I thought that I could do it myself and get my partner to do it myself.
(3:50-4:01) As I was coaching with clients this week, I told this story repeatedly because as women entrepreneurs we often look for the Make-Do Solution.
(4:04-4:09) We feel like we should know how to do it alone.
(4:13-4:49) We not only try to do the thing ourselves and we try to do it for good measure. Now, these might be trivial things, everyday things- trivial, small, tiny. But trust me, If every time you choose the cheaper option or what we call the economy class option rather than the VIP version, youāre telling the universe that youāre not ready for more. That youāre not confident to receive more. Youāre just trying to find ways, so-called for value or trying to save your money.
(5:12-5:31) So we try to make things difficult for ourselves because we are reluctant to pay the money for the right solution that can solve in minutes. And we think that we should do it ourselves or deep down we donāt believe that we deserve the very best yet.
10 Examples
(5:50-6:03) In your business and career, try to do everything yourself from websites to PR, paying bits and pieces of money for piecemealing solutions together that donāt quite work.
(6:05-6:14) Being reluctant to higher help or outsource or delegate, because weāre just too busy and besides nobody can do it like me.
(6:16-6:26) Sticking with the web designer or graphic designer that doesnāt work for you anymore because you feel bad about leaving or asking for what do you really want.
(6:29-6:56) Waiting to get a new laptop, iPad, iPhone because you canāt justify the expenses yet or you donāt feel ready for the best equipment. Or maybe someone is telling you you shouldnāt spend your money on an iMac 2020 latest version because the earlier version just before the new version is released is going to be way much cheaper.
(6:58-7:13) Having sub-standard hate shots, business cards, websites, and being too embarrassed to send them to potential clients. Not having a dedicated space for your business for the fear of inconveniencing other people.
(7:15-7:34) Using a very lousy chair that doesnāt help you with your posture. Doesnāt allow you to sit longer hours in comfort and then pay and spend a fortune in going to chiropractic or going for Tui Na or Tie ta.
(7:36-7:49) Life in general. Skipping lunch or feeding yourself with leftovers. Feeling terrible as a mother for putting your kids in Daycare just to get some āme timeā to work on your business.
(7:50-8:06) Feeling guilty about getting a babysitter or a part-time cleaner in, but getting frustrated with the messy house and spending your Saturdayās and Sundayās cleaning or fighting with your partner about whose turn is it to clean the toilet.
(8:08-8:14) Being loyal to a hair or beauty person even if you arenāt happy with the service anymore.
(8:16-8:24) Resenting your partner because they always seem to buy new clothes, new shoes, when they need them without feeling guilty about it.
(8:25-8:42) Putting off Health maintenance like dental, optical because youāre scared of the cost. Wearing outdated clothes or glasses or feel like laser is something that other people do, but not you.
(8:45-9:34) So all these things Iāve just mentioned, where in your life and business are you trying or are you at today honestly? I mean the good news is every time you choose the VIP option, every time you choose to honor yourself, to love yourself, to take care of yourself first, and you take care of your time first, and letās face it, your mental health. The universe rewards you. Sometimes that costs money, sometimes itās inconvenient, and yes sometimes you will feel guilty. But you know what my dear? Take action. Pick one thing in your day-to-day life that is causing you unnecessary waste of energy and immediately upgrade it.
(10:07-10:25) I know that I love myself, and I set myself free. And this is my time and Iām ready for the next step. And for you, if youāre feeling tired, youāre feeling frustrated with your not enough time, not enough freedom, book in the Virtual Assistant. Delegate. Outsource.
(10:36-10:51) Go to https://www.instanttribeleader.com/ . Go grab those project kits on how to hire a virtual assistant. What is the systems and process you can set up, what are the things you can do with your VA. All the project kits and workbooks are there ready for you.
(11:02-11:14) And for you who has not even thinking about updating your branding shots, you just want to save money. You know what? Lock in the new date for those headshots. Go for it.
(11:15-11:42) Go through your closet, and really put away or give away those things that is really economy. Then it will have a huge impact in your manifesting ability, your ability to receive because you are subconsciously telling yourself that, āYes! This is my time and Iām ready for the next step.ā And you are showing the universe that you are worth more than that and you will be rewarded for it.
(11:45-11:57) We all have a part to play in this. This is your time and you are ready for the next step. The more you take action in a consistent way the faster you build momentum and really grow your business.

101: What Else? The Powerful Question To Attract Even More Luck And Abundance
We all go through stages of feeling bad about ourselves. Do you have those days when you are convinced that everything you do is crap? And you are never going to make it anyway so why bother anyway?
(2:25-2:38) Start with āIām proud ofā and all the important question is āWhat else?ā. Now you have to keep asking yourself that question until you have 50 success.
(2:43-2:56) Or something that you can talk about positively and celebrate it. I would say something like wins, having big wins. So you can do this exercise at any time.
(3:21-3:30) The list of, I would say, wins is important. But the question āWhat else?ā is extremely important.
(4:26-4:27) Keep celebrating.
(4:40-4:44) Keep asking and keep asking and donāt give up.
(4:46-5:07) I would say bragging, celebrating your success, celebrating small wins, is good for you. Itās emotional health, my dear. Itās awesome to remember everything. Itās great for manifesting to acknowledge your wins. Big and small so that you can attract.
(5:12-5:47) Work on a mix of business and personal. As long as you get 30 to 50 good things. Now if you do this by yourself, eventually youāll run out of steam or you just get distracted by your handphone notifications and move on to something else. For best results, you need me to be with you. Book a coaching call with me http://www.soulrichwoman.com/clarity-callor you need a partner to hold the space to gently ask you āWhat else?ā.
(6:14-6:16) Now here are just some of mine:
(6:17-6:26) Number 1, we have created our program that is funded by our government, what we called Skills Future Credit.
(6:38-6:46) Two, our podcast has now listeners and followers in 56 countries within a single year.
(7:17-7:28) Share it with me, okay? I will love to hear them. And next time when youāre having a bad day, have a read over everything thatās awesome that youāve accomplished.
(7:31-7:39) Imagine me right now saying to you this āWhat else?ā every time you get stuck.
(7:46-8:12) Money blocks and being a Soul Rich Woman blueprint are just an important topic for female entrepreneurs and women leaders and we all have a responsibility to clear them and not just for ourselves but for the rest of our communities as well. We all have a part to play in this. This is your time and you are ready for the next step. The more you take action in a consistent way, the faster you build momentum and really grow your business.

100: MMS Mindset Success At Different Stages Of Your Business
Welcome to todayās show with Genecia Alluora- author of Make It Happen, Speaker, and the founder of Soul Rich Woman. In todayās episode, she will talk about mindset issues and different stages of your business. Stay tuned as she will share with you the 5 stages of your business and the mindset issues that you might face.
Stage 1
(1:45-1:47) Courage to own what did you do
(1:52-2:11) So action will be to put your job title or your desired title on your email signature. You will start to see it every day and to start to believe it in yourself. Now, this is coming from a space where you feel like a fraud, you feel like an impostor. So I want to help you.
(2:14-2:33) Maybe you are still in a job so itās tough to juggle everything. Stressing about getting your first client or charging people. Making the transition from free to paid can be tricky but just pick a number and try it out.
(2:34-2:50) Procrasti branding- that means you add procrastination and branding. That means you keep getting stuck thinking you need a website to get started or get business cards. Just focus on getting your first client.
(2:51-3:08) Procrasti funnels- that means you have procrastination about building your funnels and youāre thinking what is the funnels that you need to build to get started or to launch your first landing page. You know what? Just focus on getting your first client.
(3:09-3:30) You might be still thinking of being your practice business. Thatās okay, that means youāre practicing. Itās all good practice and it all counts. Be confident that your previous work experience or your practice, even though it failed in your businesses as all experiences count.
(3:32-3:38) The roller coaster of terror of having no income from the start.
(3:54-4:06) Say yes to everything. Itās all expensive. Throw everything at the wall and see if it sticks. So just try, go out there, never just filter everything.
Stage 2
(4:21-4:27) Here are some of the mindset issues that you might face in stage 2.
(4:29-4:30) Fear of being visible.
(4:36-4:55) You post on social media, you write on the Instagram youāll get haters. Or if you do videos, people will criticize you. Now the fear stops when youāre doing more things in your business, well anyway, the reality is it probably wonāt happen for a while anyway.
(4:56-5:02) You might struggle being consistent in your marketing because you are still figuring out your target market.
(5:16-5;36)Just tweak as you go along. Quit thinking and start doing. Just keep going and pay attention to what resonates with you and get a mentor to kick your ass as well. Now if you do nothing, to be honest, you will not be able to figure out what your audience really wants.
(5:38-5:44) Boundaries might start to be a problem with clients because youāre so excited to even have them.
(6:02-6:11) Anyway, this is priceless learning for you. When you are going through this journey and learning to set boundaries and when to say no.
(6:14-6:27) Procrastination and fear of creating passive income products even though you know that you should. Because youāre starting to see the limitations of doing one on one work.
(6:47-6:49) Less time, less freedom.
(6:53-6:59) Youāre still learning everything yourself. So youāre thinking you could start to delegate some stuff out.
(7:07-7:21) You start to invest in yourself more maybe with a coach or masterminds. Start to say maybe to everything. Think about if it fits into your business before you say yes to opportunities.
Stage 3
(7:37-7:45) CEO is not Chief Executive Officer. In this stage 3, itās called Chief Everything Officer.
(7:46-7:56) You want to not become Chief Everything Officer. You want to be the Chief Executive Officer, and that is key.
(7:57-8:13) Youāre also gaining momentum. Time to raise your prices to make sure you have the right clients. Boundaries with clients make you realize you need to tighten up some of your legal processes. Now is the time to make sure you have your contracts sorted out.
(8:16-8:23) Youāll learn this by trial and error. Maybe through nightmare clients. Then again these are priceless lessons.
(8:25-8:27) Start outsourcing things that stress you out.
(8:38-8:49) You start to tighten up the costing, the cost center of your business. Maybe you get a little bit too excited about earning money that you get crazy spending on personal development.
(8:51-8:53) Now itās time to start paying yourself salary in Stage 3.
(8:12-9:19) Start to say NO to things that arenāt in your zone of genius or things that donāt work for your business anymore.
Stage 4
(9:24-9:37) Loneliness. At this stage, it might be hard to find the right groups or masterminds for you. You need to be upgrading and make sure that youāre surrounding yourself with people with similar energy and vision of mindset with you.
(9:39-9:51) Copycats might be a problem at this stage 4. Well, people are noticing what youāre doing and then youāll get people flat or accidentally copying you including all or current clients.
(9:53-9:57) Either donāt take it personally or get legal.
(10:16-10:22) Fame and popularity. You might get fangirls who love and adore you.
(10:31-10:52) Burnout. Now, some people get super burned out at this stage and wonder how theyāll keep going at this pace forever. And that is why I wanna tell you that you must build your freedom lifestyle. F-word, being fabulous, having freedom, financial independence, and a happy family. Work towards that.
Stage 5
(10:56-11:09) Embracing your role as a leader and being willing to take on the role in your communities. Be willing to hold the space for people. Set rules in your business in how you want to interact with people.
(10:31-11:37) You start to get more brutal with your time and evaluate opportunities with more business.
(11:50-12:10) Youāll learn how to manage your money better with financial advisers or accountant, learning to be a rich person. Some people look to retirement. Whatās next? Maybe you donāt hustle as much. The momentum is hard to switch off here if you have been consistent for many years.
Epilogue
(12:17-12:25) Earlier on Iāve just mentioned to you the 5 different stages that really reflect the mindset issues that can pop up for you.
(12:49-13:01) We all have a part to play in this. This is your time and you are ready for the next step. The more you take action in a consistent way the faster you built your momentum and really grow your business.

98: Tell Your Story That Creates A Movement That Will Change Lives With Dr. John Tan
We are very happy to have Dr. John Tan here today to share his journey with us about why he did podcasting. I have known Dr. John for the last 20 years and he is great.
Podcasting
(2:02-2:22) It opens itself up to different people. So firstly it would be the people who want to listen to your story, and there are these curious people out there that you do not know yet. Right? So I think the possibility is more of ourselves to believe that we have.
(2:24-3:17) Genecia first approached me I was like āWoah! Podcastingā. What was the medium all about? And I say āwow! Thereās a lot of things to workā. Prepare technically and they keep telling me, āNo itās not. You have a story and the story needs to be heard. Itās just a method of like in this morning going through, how you structure the story and how you present it, and then later the technical aspects that come with all the other details. But the important thing is that you have something that you wanted to share.ā so for me, itās more like, at this stage of my life, itās about living a legacy of knowledge and information and lessons Iāve learned. Primarily from mistakes, from errors, and all that.
(4:32-4:43) The best thing to do is just to take the leap first and try and then put it out there. Put the message out there, like a test bait, then you could just adjust accordingly.
(5:02-5:12) It has been a fantastic journey. Yes, you have to put in the work and the effort. You have to put in that kind of focus.
How many episodes have you recorded? And where can I access these?
(6:23-6:55) Over the cost of few days concentrated, I had set aside some time. And so I think it took me about 3 to 4 days of recording and the whole journey was I think 55 episodes if Iām not mistaken, or 56. And then after that, itās launched. So the whole idea then is you get into a group rather than spacing it out.
How Dr. John breakthrough his mindset
(8:05-8:11) A lot of it has to do with a certain sense of how perfect you want it - Perfection.
(8:22-8:24) The thing is to just let it go.
(8:27-8:33) Do not be worried about errors and then I realized maybe I should have a script.
(8:42-8:57) To in order to do that you need like x number, like 10,000 words. So can you make it if you write the script for everyone itās gonna be a long time. So I did that for like about three episodes. It took a lot of effort.
(9:13-9:16) So for the next, 4th episode, well I just told my story.
(9:31-9:36) So hereās the thing. When you have that flow, very relaxed, wow!
(9:41-9:43) And before you know it you have your episodes.
(9:51-10:08) Go for excellence, yes, but not to the point of error-free perfection, itās not gonna happen. Secondly, you have your story, let your story come up, and then from there it just flows, right? And do in batches because it does help it.
Focusing on one specific content
(11:00-11:04) I think itās more of bearing in mind who the audience is.
(11:31-11:33) So it comes out very naturally.
(11:38-11:43) You have that person in mind at first, and then from that, you develop.
(12:28-12:38) The question would be firstly, āWhy?ā. And my answer was very simple, rather in a form of another question, another question is, āWhy not?ā
(12:41-12:46) Thereās not so much agenda as getting the job done.
(12:49-12:52) And I believe Genecia and the team has done it very very well.
How do you feel when you launched 55 episodes?
(13:53-13:57) Number 1, I felt very fulfilled and accomplished that this portion is done.
(14:06-14:18) The responses that came back, it was slowly. And when the full episodes came on and five came out and it was posted in more and more platforms.
(14:24-14:26) And then the world starts spreading and sharing.
(15:15-15:18) When you want to do it, then you have to put your heart and mind to it.
What are the struggles or objections you have before doing the podcast?
(16:11-16:31) Number one, I donāt have enough things to say. Number 2, my voice donāt go enough. Number three, will people listen? And all these were just anxieties.
How are you going to find time to really work on your Season 2?
(18:31-18:42 ) I think Iām looking forward to getting those equipment in, and then find a way possible of doing it from my own computer with support.
(18:45-19:04) Number 2, of course, Iām listening to what the needs are. And they have shifted a little bit particularly because of this covid pandemic. There are certain sets of anxieties and certain fears that people may have that can be addressed in messaging as well.
(19:07-19:18) The issue then will be of prioritizing and putting the scheduling done correctly and then having the equipment support.
When thereās so much thing to share, how do you do it in 10 minutes?
(20:35-20:51) Actually what Iāve found is that the topics, you just need to split up. And the only thing there is about having a few parts to the same topics but with different aspects. And having a story and a lesson to it is already 10 minutes.
(20:53-21:01) I also know that you need to bunch it so that it is just nice for consumption. Itās not too long, maybe boring.
(21:04-21:18) This is where I said if you have the life experiences, and I think you guys have, then itās a method of looking into content and maybe draw the appropriate diagram.
(21:24-21:33) Thatās where when the coaches come in. and to ask you questions about what can be flashed out deeper more according to your audience.
(21:35-21:58) For me, in ten minutes, just one point. The point is enriched with a story, with a lesson, and then a call to action or possibly what can be in the next episode. And so before you know you have about 4 or 5 episodes because youāll do a wrap-up at the end as well.
How was the responses from your family? And did they have any objections when you shared with them that youāre gonna do the podcast?
(23:14-23:24) No objections at all. Basically, they see it as an extension of my work and my sharing. Iāve been devoting all these years to helping.
(23:27-23:39) I think one of the things thatās still not done yet which is getting a book out. So the next best thing to getting a book out is that youāre getting youāre podcast out.
(23:59-24:03) To me, it has been an encouraging journey.
Season 2
(24:40) Think of going deeper and Iāll show thinking more about whatās happening and this Covid experience for many people and how are they dealing with uncertainty and the inner changes.
(25:29-25:40) I think I will grapple the depth. And half issues to talk about it. Bite-sized again. That can be applied the moment you hear the podcast.
What is the most rewarding path of your podcast journey?
(25:51-26:00) Itās the ability to have my messaging or my message that I want to share.
(26:02-26:17) Coach or audiences that I didnāt even expect. So one of the heads Iām running is actually a volunteer with the commonwealth⦠commonwealth group of nations but on the youth work aspect.
(26:45-27:04) So for me, the rewarding part is like āWow!ā the impact⦠the potential of the impact is even beyond your imagination. So my intended audience were these. But then now is spread into a much broader audience. So you have a story that has to be told.
(27:43-27:56) Other than that the point is that your messages has a potential of going out and touching more lives than you ever can think about. So thatās been pretty exciting for me.
(28:46-28:58) So that potential, I mean if I were to look the other way, if I didnāt do it then the opportunity will have never come. So youāll never know. So just take the leap and do it.
What is your next milestone in your legacy?
(29:42-29:47) If getting through on Season 2, and then looking.
(29:51-30:06) āHow was your ebook?ā. āHow does the ebook get, you know, conceptualize? Though even be part of my legacy.ā So I think thatās probably the things that Iām looking out for now.

FWEP00097- Untold Story of The World's Greatest Women With Genecia Alluora
Todayās woman grew up with little money and was supporting herself by the age of 14. During her teenage years, she was bullied and her self-esteem struggled. However along the way she was introduced to modeling and the world of beauty. She entered pageants and began winning. Her self-confidence grew as she won Ms. Singapore and was one of the Top 3 finalists in the Ms. Universe pageant. She dug deep into entrepreneur endeavors with Image consulting and a Cafe retail chain. There were partnerships along the way that worked and some that didnāt. But through it all, she never gave up on women and her ability to elevate them. Today through her Soul Rich Women brand, she mentors thousands of women to bring their business and leadership brands online. It is my pleasure to introduce you to Genecia Alluora.
Turn your mess into your message
(3:14-3:30) My first intuition and instinct was to resist because what my mother said sounds like āneggyā and a net to me. But when that got into my heart, that was when I started to see light at the end of the tunnel.
(3:36-3:40) Being the youngest instructor in Singapore, many people laughed at me.
(3:45-4:29) I had to work doubly hard as a young person. And keeping in mind that even though we have passed, gone through the journey of not having enough and how can I turn this courage around to become something that I can share along, to my class students and also the people that surround me. So turning your mess into your message did not start at the right footing, it was only through self-reflection and knowing what upholds my motherās values that helped me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Because I truly believe that when we have a diamond that is within us, we all deserve to shine.
Who you choose as your friends
(4:49-4:58) I think there are 3 things you wanna be looking at. Number 1, is not to look into the quantity of friends but look into the quality of friends.
(5:01-5:16) Friendships are bound to a test of time. You definitely need to know what and who to talk to and what to talk to. The easiest way for you to move into a group where friends can support you is to look for a ready community.
(5:33-5:40) Number 3, really look for people who are in a small group. That means you are doing beta testing.
(5:45-5:55) Never put all the eggs in the basket and get out there because you donāt know who to trust and that is always a question. Of course, we want to give the benefit of the doubt to people around us.
(5:57-6:05) But like I said, everything is built through the test of time. So what you can do is always start with a beta group.
(6:14-6:28) In business, when youāre moving online as a newbie and youāre bringing to ⦠ready to build your personal brand, look for a small group of 3 to 5 people whom you can mastermind with. A Beta group, a mastermind group, where you can feel it.
(6:37-6:39) Be a giver and not just a taker.
(6:45-6:58) So you really need to look into how you can contribute as well to the group so that everyone grows together to the next level, right? Because alone you are strong, together we are unstoppable.
What did you learn that youād want to tell other women about going into a partnership with someone?
(7:33-7:37) When you do a business with friends, you must first have rules.
(7:39-7:50) What is a āroles and responsibilitiesā? I think that would be one thing. That would be very clear. Secondly, you want to have the ability to have, you know, when you make money, what happens to the money.
(7:50-8:09) discuss about monetary issues. Discuss about money stuff, money ideas, money values, how can you cope with money. What if there are no customers, who's responsible for what, and how are you going to manage the cash flow of the entire business, which is the lifeline of the business. Itās not just about the profits that you are making but the cash flow.
(8:17-8:41) Last but not least, put in the effort and contribute. Be a giver and not just a taker. Do your part, play a hundred percent all out. If it doesnāt work, you will know by the end of the day. But at least you know that youāve given your hundred and ten percent to the business, through that game, through that friendship, to that vision that you have in front of you.
(9:25-9:43) We will tend to trust women and we tend to trust more easily and we want to do more in the way that we want to contribute. In the end, sometimes, we are taken advantage of because we donāt know how to set personal boundaries and that is something that you really need to learn.
(9:54-9:58) Learn to agree to disagree
(10:01-10:02) and be okay with that.
Do you feel happy today? And what have you done differently to achieve this?
(10:15-10:25) I definitely feel so much happier today. I think being myself is one of the greatest gift that I have given myself since I have moved out from the entertainment industry.
(11:07-11:22) So really learning to accept myself and loving myself even more and be aligned with my mind, body, and soul to truly embrace that āHey! This is who I am. Take it or leave it.ā
Value Exchange
(12:46-12:58) So value exchange, to my realization and through my self-reflection, simply means what value do you put on the table when someone sponsors you. What is the benefit? Whatās in it for them?
(13:12-13:48) Look into play āwin-winā. Now āwin-winā simply means that if they give you something, for example, they sponsor you series of trainings, they gonna get you grooming and department, and help you to present yourself beautifully and perfectly to win that title on stage or win that business. Then perhaps after you win, contribute back by being their ambassador. Letās say for example 3 months, half a year, or even a year for X number of hours based on the value of the duties that you are, kind of, matching in with the goods that has been sponsored to you.
(13:50-13:52) As a way of Value-exchange.
(13:53-13:58) So for me, itās definitely helped me to choose my sponsors wisely.
(14:05-4:10) First and foremost, I choose based on a few criteria. First, your values must be aligned with mine.
(14:18-14:19) Number two, who is your target audience?
(14:25-14:30) Are there people whom I hope to reach that I wasnāt able to and you are able to do that?
(14:31) Number three,
(14:33-14:50) How am I going to help you to spread your message of the awareness of brand message to my audience as well, and to my followers as well. So when you have these questions in your mind, it becomes a win-win situation. And that is my understanding of value exchange.
Whatās the first thing businesswomen need to do if they want their business to go from offline to online?
(15:42-15:43) Find a coach.
(15:48-16:01) For me, I will take this path and I would tell myself I can go from this path the earliest and the fastest. I think that to me would shortcut my success even at a younger age, or earlier age.
(16:07-16:14) Iām very happy of my life at this moment. So, Iāve already done my mentorship. So the first step will be āFind a mentor, find a coachā.
(17:15-17:18) See it as an investment to triple, to quadruple your growth.
(17:25-17:28) Well if you donāt put in the effort, nothingās gonna work.
(18:00-18:05) If you want to succeed you have to make things work. You have to take the power into your hands.
(18:07-18:28) Find a way to do one thing. I think thatās something that a lot of people cannot do because they are like, fear of missing out. The FOMO effect.
(19:20-19:30) So, when you look into moving online, pick a better ground where you know you can be victorious in. That you can play to win.
(19:39-19:50) Look around you. Everyone that is successful online is only doing one thing and theyāre known for that one thing before branching out into other things.
(20:27-20:41) So to be successful in the online space, start with one. Pick one and get started and that would be my advice for you. Last but not the least, go back to the community and that is why I built Soul Rich Woman.
(21:30-21:47) If you choose to evolve as a phoenix and be rebirth in a different version of yourself, that is when you will grow and go to the next level. Have that diamond that is within you and you deserve to shine. So make it happen.
As a successful businesswoman, what role do you see a man playing in your future?
(22:08-22:12) A man, for me, is basically still a leader
(22:15-22:40) So, I mean itās just kind of, like men and women coming together and completing that space, fulfilling a certain purpose on our planet earth. But when I made a statement that men, āI donāt need a manā, I mean in that context where Iām financially independent, I can do the things that I want to do, and I can choose the lifestyle that I want. So I make myself happy first. I love myself first.
(22:58-23:01) So it functions to me as a man, like a partnership.
(23:08-23:19) A man who comes to my life is a partner, a co-dependency. Where he love himself, heās confident, he knows what he stands for. I know what I stand for, and we come to a common ground.
(23:34-23:49) So when we are truly aligned, that space will continue to flourish and blossom to many other circles that we are looking forward into our life. So for me having a man means a partnership. And that to me is long term.
Journey to greatness
(24:02-24:27) I really believe that success is never about glorious wins. You can see what I have now, itās just the tip of the iceberg. Always look into deeply, what is under the tip of the iceberg. As always to let, to take a step back of whatever I built to let other women shine as well. Remember, alone you are strong, but together we are unstoppable.
(24:59-25:20) Women, we must come together and work together to revolutionize what you are thinking about. The change you want to become. The dreams that you want to achieve. We must come together in the space that we are good, the space that weāre gonna be amazing, and letās shine together as one.
Key takeaways:
š Always remember quality over quantity.
š Be a giver, not just a taker.
š Always look into play āwin-winā
š If you want to succeed, you have to make things work.
š When you donāt put in the effort, nothingās gonna work.

96: Build Connections And A Legacy Using Podcasting With Dr. John Tan (Season 2 Podcast U Shape)
FWEP00096- Build Connections And A Legacy Using Podcasting With Dr. John Tan
Todayās special guest is Dr. John Tan. He is someone that Iāve known for 20 years as a volunteer with CARE Singapore- which is Children At Risk Empowerment. Today, Dr. John recorded two seasons of podcast shows. With his voice, his experience, his message is gonna touch and change the world and help more people to understand youth and help these youths at risk. Prevention is better than cure.
Season 2: Every Youth Matters
(3:28-3:43) This is Dr. John Tan. I am the founding president of the Youth Work Association Singapore, as well as the Executive Director of Children At Risk Empowerment otherwise known as CARE Singapore.
(3:55-4:11) In Season 2 of āEvery Youth Mattersā, I have shared tips and strategies and ways to reach out to the young people because I have learned from my experiences and transform them into lessons.
(4:31-4:45) Season 2 was quite a journey for me. At the backend of it all, I would say I have succeeded in completing it. And despite the disruptions.
(4:47-5:18) The reason for me saying that is that we have laid up four recording days at the studio. And some of the days that we were about to record, we were interrupted to buy some renovation works that were done in the neighbors and that was a tough one because we have to time our recording around their renovation and it end up in a day where we could not record at all.
(5:21-5:32) The four days that were set aside we completed in actually 3 days minusing of that one day that was disrupted.
(5:33-5:36) So what then has taught me is that itās possible.
(5:42-6:02) And this is particularly meaningful to me because it just reminds me that despite challenges we can overcome. As one of my favorite mentors, coaches like this, āOur problems may be tough, but remember we are always tougher.ā
(6:04-6:06) Iāve managed to complete Season 2
(6:10-6:25) despite having a very busy schedule of presenting workshops and writing materials and training people. And all of that Iām so glad that I was able to accomplish
(6:27-6:41) Something that i wanted to do for quite a long bit and it has further embedded my legacy. And it has further given me the materials that are ready recorded down.
(6:44-7:05) A great sense of accomplishment that I have finished Season 2. And Iām also very very glad to be working with my new podcast coach Janet Aisyah and she has been a great help being beside me and giving me pointers.
(7:15-7:31) I believe that as the Season progress we have little episodes actually getting into a better rhythm and I think itās all kudos to my podcast coach Janet Quek.
(7:41-7:58) There were some objections, there were some obstacles in the preparation. Well Iāve finished Season 1 and had already mixed some sort of loose plans to record Season 2.
PANDEMIC
(8:00-8:10) Along came the pandemic, The CoronaVirus Pandemic, and that meant we had to make all kinds of adjustments.
(8:18-8:27) We can plan for the timing but we could not control it and so it came at a time where I had to contemplate
(8:29-8:31) doing this whole Season online.
(8:41-8:53) This was a challenge particularly during city breakout lockdown where we couldnāt go anywhere, we couldnāt get things delivered and all of that. So it was a big challenge.
(9:02-9:13) When face to face came in, and it meant that we could move about, there was the potential possibility of going to the studio to record it.
(9:16-9:22) Then thereās a big but because the ābutā came from the wife who was concerned for me going out.
(9:24-9:28) Maybe when exposing myself into the community.
(9:31-9:39) That was slowly overcome by explaining to her the steps involved, what we were doing and all that.
(9:54-10:06) Moving into the studio and booking that 4 days that we could do the recording. So it was a learning process bit by bit.
Looking forward to āWhatās next?ā
(10:18-10:21) I have to choose the number of episodes.
(10:24-10:28) I had more material than I needed for this Season.
(10:31-10:37) The next point coming soon, will there be a Season 3? Thatās a possibility. But before that.
(10:39-10:46) I had to then choose and decide the materials that I wanted to, to keep it concise to keep the rhythm going on, not to drag.
(10:53-11:13) When you got into a rhythm then I got into a pattern. I got to be able to know how to kind of demarket. How much material goes into each episode. Right, so thatās a learning point for me as well. And which then leads to, āWill there be a Season 3?ā well it is highly possible.
(11:34-11:47) In the process of working, the mind gets stood up. The mind gets launched into new areas. So now in my mind I can almost see Season 3 forming.
(12:03-12:06) Going to it by conclusion for these whole Season 2
(12:09-12:13) My feelings has been something of a great accomplishment.
(12:15-12:24) because as part of my plan to leave a legacy of my lessons learned, I have embedded it further.
(12:34-12:43) Meaning that I have forever archived my materials into resources that can benefit more people.
(12:45-12:51) Iām really really thankful and grateful to the team, instantpodcastleader.com
(12:53-13:10) And if you really really have a need or urge to have your voice heard and listened to, and like me living a legacy then I strongly encourage you to sign up for the program.
(13:16-13:23) When we raise our voices together, the words become more than just a phrase.
(13:26) It becomes a movement and that our dreams are valid.
(13:36) That on your path, you are never denied. And you can be directed but you need to let your voice be heard.

95: Turn Your Fears Into Fuel In Podcasting With Deon Teh
FWEP00095- Turn Your Fears Into Fuel In Podcasting With Deon Teh
Today's special guest is Deon Teh. She is the winner of Elite Instant Podcast Leader Award as well as Platinum Instant Podcast Leader Award. She has done two Seasons of podcast bilingual. One season in english and one season in Mandarin. So today sheās gonna share with you from being a manager director of a company to beginning her journey of podcasting. Some of the fears and thoughts that she had and eventually overcame. And even though English is something that she had problems with, she thought that she would never be able to do it and yet she did it anyway. So let her story inspire you to turn your mess into your message and turn your fears into fuel.
Conquer your fears
(2:48-03:01) I truly agree that a podcast is not only about purely online presence but most importantly it helps me sort out my thinking on my past.
(3:13-3:23) I successfully use my second language in Greece to present in my show. Something which I never thought was possible.
(3:44-4:09) One of my colleagues was curious about what I was doing and asked me what it was for. Iām proud to have my own podcast. And in Season 1, it has 55 episodes and can listen on more than 20 platforms all over the world.
(4:24-4:35) As a leader in a company, I'm concerned about how to really do business online for this modern world.
(4:37-4:56) I used to rely on books as my mentor. I was able to learn a lot from books that I read and they directed me to what I am. However, I need someone that understands the market and trends that where I am.
(5:02-5:22) At first, I joined the Soul Rich Women Blueprint. And I learned how to use modern technology to promote our product. However, I was craving for what is the next and I decided to join 4in1 group coaching. And after that I want to be more focused.
(5:28- 5:48) I want to help my company to go online. Well, undergoing mentorship, Genecia told me that in order for me to help my company, I need to build my own brand first. Then I realized that I forgot to love myself first before loving others.
(5:50-6:08) I told Genecia that I wanted to publish my own book in the near future during our mentorship and she advised me to take up the podcast, which is the fastest way to boost my authority especially as Iām a leader to my company.
(6:12-6:24) I was not clear on my life purpose and journey. Through doing the podcast, I was able to find my direction and it was also a soul-healing journey for me.
(6:35-7:01) I was camera shy and Iām unable to express myself nicely if i were to be on a live podcast or a video recording. Of course, I have many fails before doing my work. People look at me, what if I cannot take it, the comments. With the help of my podcast coach Joanne Lee, I was able to overcome my fears.
(7:02-7:22) And since Soul Rich Woman helps with 95% of the work behind the scenes, the production system by them. And I donāt have to worry about any administration task, i just concentrate to write the script and dig deeper myself.
(7:31-7:50) Genecia, being my guide, told me that I can use my past experiences. Transform it to tell people my story, and people who listen can benefit from my experiences and have a guide also, and maybe can shortcut their necessary path
(7:58-8:20) How would people react? Am I sure I want to continue? And Iām not that professional as others that are well-trained. However, after discussing with Genecia, I have confidence that the team was helpful and helped me to overcome this and I went ahead to do my podcast show.
(8:22-8:56) I was also feeling anxious and uncomfortable about sharing my story and being truthful about what I feel deep inside. But realizing that this is me and people hearing my story, they suffer real deal. I still went ahead with everything that came from my heart. Understanding that my intention is to share and inspire, and not to criticize or destroy other people's lives.
(8:58-9:02) Gave me the courage to go out and do the podcast.
(9:04-9:21) Initially, I have to convert my writing for podcast episodes into english. I got tired. And so I have to use up a lot of energy, thinking of what to say and sitting on the table to think about my past.
(9:49-10:08) Having launched the podcast, I am also anxious about what would happen next. Then by going back to understand my intention and my goal that this would be about doing something positive for me and for others especially for the working mothers.
(10:09-10:20) And by knowing that I have a strong team of Soul Rich Womans to support me, my worries are temp and controlled.
(10:33-10:41) I feel that I am also blessed to have crossed paths with Soul Rich Woman team who could help me make it possible.
(10:42-10:56) Launching the podcast gave me great happiness. There I was able to share my message so instantly to the public. And Iām the first listener to my own podcast episode every week.
(11:12-11:33) And I continued to hide under my fears, I would have not touched people's hearts and most importantly my familyās hearts. I have also proven that this is never too late to learn something new. Thereās no right or wrong but this is about taking action.

94: Get Your Brave On and Take Some Serious Biz Building Action Using Podcast With Dr Yong Hsin Ning
FWEP00094 Get Your Brave On and Take Some Serious Biz Building Action Using Podcast With Dr Yong Hsin Ning
Today's guest, we have Dr. Yong Hsin Ning. She is my mentee. Sheās completed on the season of her podcast. Podcasting is something that I highly recommend the women in our community to embark on, because itās relatively easier to share your content without showing your face. And I know that many of you are shy of showing your face. So Iāll let her share with you her journey, her lessons learned and some of the wrap up that she has for you. Enjoy todayās episode!
Impact of Embarking on Dr. Yong Hsin Ningās journey
(02:26-02:42) The journey started with a conversation with Genecia, my business mentor. That pretty much went like this:
āHey! Hsin Ning, are you interested in doing a podcast?ā
āOh. yeah sure! I love to talk.ā
Ok, the rest is history.
(2:57-3:17) 10 months into my journey and I was obviously way off in my expectations, in a good way. Square Apple show now is downloaded by listeners across ten countries. I also received personal notes about how people are impacted by the messages in my podcast.
(3:44-4:10) When I started to prepare for the podcast, I had some ideas in mind, what I wanted to focus on which was around my success. Organizational change and my entrepreneurship journey. But increasingly I realized that everything and anything I wrote kind of converted to a framework that I used to see and do things differently.
(4:12-4:27) So after writing 55 episodes and about 82,500 words later, I developed the Square Apple Mindset framework which is a systematic way for people to see ten times more opportunities in their careers and businesses.
(4:36-4:45) This method helps people to see opportunities that they usually miss and it gives them the courage to take action and pursue those opportunities.
(4:54) And I developed a set of frameworks that sets me apart from other business advisers or change management consultants.
(5:03-5:20) Secondly, it helps me in developing valuable assets that I can use for my teaching and my business. I have repurpose podcast content into an ebook, into prompt cards, into teaching materials and Iām in the process of creating a digital course as well.
(5:31-5:50) The third and final impact is to other people. In a way, this impact is a different side of the coin from the first impact. The first impact talks about how I got clarity. This impact is about how this clarity, then translates to helping other people do things differently.
(5:52-6:00) My passion is to help people see things in a different light from what they have been used to. Especially for business owners and entrepreneurs.
(6:16-6:27) So by telling people, āYou have to think out of the box.ā, is very tough because people first, they donāt even know whatās in their box and they donāt know whatās outside the box. So it really doesnāt help.
(6:29-6:40) So the consistent feedback that I have from the people that I work with is that the messages that I shared is very particle. So itās easy for people to apply it to their careers or businesses.
(6:42) The final impact that I want to share is that the podcast has been effective in helping me become a good coach to my audience who are really fellow entrepreneurs who are on their business building adventure.
Challenges to overcome
(7:21-7:31) The first obstacle for me is finding the time to write the podcast script. The way that I prepare for the podcast is to write out the entire script.
(8:28-8:42) You know when you aim high, you may fall a little short. But if you donāt aim high, you will fall very short. So setting a tangible goal and breaking it down into baby-steps help me overcome this obstacle.
(8:44-9:01) The second obstacle is figuring out what to write. So even though I can find the time to write, itās not that easy to just write. Sometimes I donāt even have a block of two hours and I need to squeeze it in between meetings.
(9:02-9:13) I have done two things to overcome this obstacle. The first thing is to constantly look out for things and make note of the interesting stuff that I come across and I can write about.
(9:19) The second thing that I have done is to create a very structured template for my podcast script.
(9:45-10:01) This template is a lifesaver because I can actually start writing once I hit the computer. No doubt our podcast episodes will flow exactly in the same way but atleast all the big blocks of the content are there.
(10:04-10:06) It really, really saved a lot of time.
(10:12-10:22) Podcast is a really variable option for you to consider if you want to do something meaningful for yourself and for others.

FWEP00093 Quit Your 9 to 5 Job With Confidence And Invest In Yourself With Janet Aisyah Quek
Today we have a special guest. Her name is Janet Aisyah Quek. She is a corporate narrative employee with more than 25 years of experience in HR Asia-Pacific Region. And today sheās here to share with you her results and her journey of launching two years. I would say, the second year of her podcast show that has been batched because she is busy at work so we helped her to batch out her content and launch her second season of her show.

I hope thereās something for you to think about on how you are creating your content, how youāre launching consistently, and be amazing! Remember you have a diamond that is within you and you deserve to shine.
Launching the Podcast Season 2
(02:05-3:08) Launching the Podcast Season 2 embetter my life instantly in 2020. I truly agree that our podcast is not only about building online presents but most importantly online credibility and recognition by showing up consistently. I have been āhey huntedā more than ten times directly from companies and recruiters in three months from Asia-Pacific, US, and Europe. Even in this Covid19 situation, I realized that my message has embetter more people than I ever thought it could now. We have listeners and followers in nine countries in just 3 months. After awarded platinum instant podcast leader, I have garnered more than a hundred likes in social media in one post and some friends commented that now I am like a queen and I have drawn attention to new connections who are keen to know what I am doing and how podcasts can help them.
(03:24-3:47) My children are now used to me doing my work as podcast host, though knowing that I have left my corporate job. Initially, my youngest son told me that doing podcasts is not working, but I have to explain to him how this will help me in my business. To bring my business online and also help me be seen as a leader online.
(04:07-5:13) I was given an opportunity to share a National Achiever Congress Virtual Global Platform with my Mentor Genecia and my podcast coach Joanne Lee. I have done more than 14 times facebook live in 2 months. This was not possible if I had not started my instant podcast leader show on Women Leadership. It has helped me to set a routine though I am not working and I have to do this recording from home. I get to learn about setting my mental state of mind and getting myself into the momentum to do my podcast recording. That is where I was able to complete my 2 years of podcast content in less than three months. As I keep the momentum to complete the season 2, I am able to think on the spot. Whatever topic that came to my mind and also the content is free-flow and because I have the proven structure system and process that I followed through from Season 1 to Season 2. This is possible that I am able to do it.
(5:16-5:29) When I got to start the podcast Season 2, I was not sure that this is something that I want to continue or just wait to see what results I have after launching Season 2 over a year before embarking on my Season 2.
(05:44-5:57) I realized that time flies so fast and it has been 9 months since I quit my last job. So I decided to use this time to continue Season 2 so that I will have 2 years ahead of content.
(06:06-07:01) And I saw how my Season 1 has helped me to get least inquiries and my first two sweet clients. I do not have any income since August 2019 as I left my corporate job to care for my late mom before she passed on late November 2019. I will be spending on my savings which meant to last longer should I not able to get a suitable job. And I had to cut down on other expenses during this time to continue to invest in myself and prepare myself. And then I thought that I really want to achieve my dream. Since I have been a corporate for more than 25 years, I want to achieve my dream as to be an online entrepreneur. And that is where I decided to continue to invest in myself even though Iām not working.
(07:04-7:24) When I realized that I can actually earn more the moment I have built my reputation online by showing up and having my voice heard. People will come to know who I am and what I stand for. People will start to support me, to trust me, just like Hey Hunters who approached me instead of me going to them.
(07:41-7:45) Before, I canāt even see any income coming in.
(09:03-9:18) Genecia and Joanne explained to me that they will support and guide me to do it online. I just need to follow what they need me to do. Having the whole Soul Rich Women team put me at ease knowing that I just have to focus on my script and they do the rest.
(09:29-9:42) As Iām not sure if I have enough topics to share in Season 2, my mentors, Genecia, spent time with me to draw out my experience and content and guided me to position myself with the topics I could share.
(10:04-10:26) Another issue I have was time. Even though I'm not working at the moment, I have to juggle when my helper had to go back to Manila to attend to her family due to an emergency matter. So I had to attend to my children, household, and cooking during that period of time when I was embarking on Season 2.
(11:01-11:08) On top of all those issues, I have fears on the outcome if I will be repeating myself in some of the topics.
(11:13-11:22) but because it has been my dream to reach out to my first 10,000 audience in 3 years, so I need to continue to build my content and keep me going.
(11:31-11:41) Podcast is a marketing vehicle that can be used again and again for life and it is also a legacy that I can leave for my children and grandchildren.
(11:59-12:16) Understanding that my intention is to share and inspire and not to criticize or destroy other people's lives. It gave me the courage to continue despite the hard work and for me to continue my Season 2 Podcast Recording.
(13:22-13:36) I have been getting attention on some responses that they see me as an expert in podcast leader online in Social Media and even refer someone to me to learn from me and to get to know how to do this podcast show.
(13:38-14:01) Having launched Season 2, I am also anxious about what will happen next. Somehow Iām looking forward to launching Season 3 with a new level of perspectives and new learning in the next phase. By going back to understanding my intentions and remind myself why I started, this will be about doing something positive for me and for others.
(14:09-14:38) So having your family and friends to support you in what you are doing, and giving you the understanding of your journey you wish to embark on is already a great encouragement. Not to mention that having the Soul Rich Woman Team is the Rocket Launcher. Knowing that you have people behind you who will look after your best interest and following up on you so that you don't fall to the little voices that inside your head.
(14:51-14:58) The Soul Rich Woman team makes you feel you are family and that they got your back every step of the way.
(15:25-15:39) When we raise our voices together, the worldās women power comes more than just a phrase. It becomes a movement. Know that your dreams are valid. And on your path, you are never denied and only be directed.
(15:41-15:42) Let your voice be heard! Itās time

FWEP00092 Building Recurring Income Streams with Dr. Yong Hsin Ning and Partner of Soul Rich Woman James Wee
Today I want to introduce a very special guest who has done this repeatedly in his numerous businesses and is very successful. Heās Mr. James Wee. Heās a serial entrepreneur who has owned numerous businesses including a packaging company, software development, coffee chain, digital marketing business, and his latest venture is Soul Rich Woman which is Southeast Asia's number one female entrepreneur network. Connecting 200,000 female women across the region. Since 2002, he has co-founded ten businesses with many crossing one million in sales in the 1st year. So youāll hear 3 things from him. The first is how he determines whether a business is suited to generate recurring income. Secondly, what barriers that he faced and how he overcame them. Thirdly is the opportunities that this pandemic has given to SMEs to repivot their business model. So youāll hear all this from the man himself, Mr. James Wee.
Opportunities to generate recurring revenue
Mr. James gave examples from his packaging world experience. Hereās what he said:
(7:55-8:08) so eventually, we realized that thereās a machine that can crumple. In a way that they achieved, they made it puffy. Then they can actually use it. And one big roll of, letās say, I think 100 meters, they can crumple into, letās say, half a container space.
(8:18-8:33) so the only way is if we can give them a machine that belongs to us. Whether use it lease or is it, give it to them for free. Depend on the volume they use. But we know that with this agreement signed they must continue to buy the raw material, paper raw material, from us.
(8:55-9:08) by doing so, we actually, so-called, can protect ourselves by not letting the competitor to come in so easily because unless they are asked willing to invest in a machine to continue to get the recurring income.
Problems encountered and how to overcome them
(11:51-12:01) Most importantly, our most difficult situation internally is investment of the machine. Externally is convincing the customer. This is something that we worked very hard.
(12:13-12:47) so these are the few things that we definitely going to face in any business. You want to do is outlay. Then the customer, convincing the customer to switch and is definitely something that a lot business owner need to look into if they were to look at change of business model in terms of time. But during my time we are just walking on trying to grow the business and want to have more stable business. That is why we are looking at all different situations and we spend for pre, half a year, 1 year, 2 years to figure it out and find out what is the possible consistent income that we can have. Then we come up with this. We call it the reoccurring income model.
Types of businesses that generate recurring revenue
Mr. James Wee said that all types of business can generate recurring income as long as you have a positive mindset.
(30:38) but I think every business wants to aspire to become one. It is not, again, I cannot really think of anything that is not possible unless, again, is your mindset. If you think it is not possible then, forever it is not possible. But if you think it is possible then you can actually do your own research, figure out more.
(31:13) I think something like that is very important that the business owner must mindset. They are willing to look into the business to find some reoccurring way of getting the business to be prepared year after year rather than just say not possible.
Strengthen business resilience in this post-pandemic world
Business owners took their businesses to the online world because of the pandemic.
(41:47-42:21) Let's say every other business, everything being equal. Those people who already have been embarking on their whole entire business into the online world meaning that getting leads online and getting things more visible online. And eventually, theyāre having some software or a platform for them to be seen or being able to order their product or even introduce their thing in a video format. Everything online is important because moving forward, the retail outlets, of course, because of pandemic now has a big change. Actually, itās just accelerating the change.
(43:20) During the pandemic, everything that is not possible now is happening.
(49:32-49:47) From my own experience, even in your services, but when you share a lot of things online, you are visible online you will be surprised that people want to do a partnership. And other countries will look for you to become your franchisee. But you must be visible online.
(50:36-) Online is already proven to be the future.

FWEP00091 Finding Your Why To Go From Stuck To Unstoppable With Genecia Alluora and Tina Powell
We are so honored to have Ms. Genecia Alluora. She has the most incredible origin stories. She is a former beauty queen (2006/2007 Singapore Miss Universe) and the Founder of Soul Rich Woman; South East Asia's leading network for female entrepreneurs connecting over 11,000 women and 200,000 subscribers across the region. She is also a successful business owner. She started a cafe retail chain and expanded it to three different countries with 18 franchises.
Where it all started
Things didn't seem to be as rosy as they are nowadays. Young Genecia had to support herself since she was 14 years old. Her family didn't have a good financial situation. To support her family and pay for her tuition, she teaches yoga, aerobics, and country line dancing. She was bullied by mean girls in her school. She was constantly mocked by them and it really affected her entire mindset.
(3:48-4:24) But my Mom was my pillar of support. She told me to turn my mess into my message. And to add that on, because I was the youngest instructor back in those days in Singapore and they, a lot of students, they were like, telling me ā Genecia, what can you teach us. Youāre so young. Youāre only 16. Youāre nowhere near our age. What do you know about health and, you know, live sell?ā And I couldnāt handle criticisms.
(4:40-4:47) You see this piece serves as a foundation for me because of all the trials and tribulations I have gone through.
(5:44-5:51) So from having nothing to being a winner on stage really transformed my life. So that in itself came to a point where my image consultancy business came to a standstill. Iām going to throw that away and move forward to go online.
(6:05) so I found a mentor who kind of guided me and showed me my blind spots and taught me what I do not know.
(6:24-6:44) I was literally everywhere. And to take the humble pie to say, ā okay, I donāt know what I donāt know. I have to learn. I am willing to learnā. And by this mentality, I was able to breakthrough. Look past beyond what I canāt see and was able to move effectively online.
(7:42-8:00) So I really believed that putting yourself in an environment where you could learn from the best by hiring a mentor as what I did could really shortcut your success. So eventually I started Soul Rich Women and that journey has been amazing.
Selecting A Mentor
(14:32-15:00) If you want a mentor who really wants to guide you. You have to go out there and seek for one and you must be willing to invest in yourself. Are you open to receive criticisms about your own shortcomings? And not allowing your mentor to sugarcoat words so that you feel good just because you paid him/her to be a mentor.
These are the important things to remember when selecting a mentor according to Ms. Genecia Alluora.
Soul Rich Women connecting from Zero to 200,000 women
(18:51-19:11) Before we hit 200,000 we were at zero. I think thatās the thing that always people look at the results but they forget how we got there, right? So I had failed in a lot of memberships that Iāve created.
By traveling to different Southeast Asia Countries for almost 2-3 years. Like three weeks in Malaysia, three weeks in Vietnam, three weeks in the Philippines, Ms. Genecia came back to Singapore and realized things.
(19:57-20:05) I discovered that women had a low earning social-economic status throughout the different countries.
(20:14-20:28) How can we support these women to own and love the F-word within their comfort range so that they could eventually progress? So we had eventually came to a number which was 12 dollars a month membership.
(20:39-21:08) And thatās when we had all the numbers. So it was not by my singular effort. It was through two main philosophies. I would say the first one was to love your customer more than you love your product. Number two is to really build your trust score because women tend to, we are a bit more skeptical and sometimes less trusting especially if itās online and you really want to build that momentum.
(25:06-25:12) We are a Southeast Asia Female Entrepreneur Platform but we have already gone international.
Soul Rich Women
These pillar programs will help women to see different perspectives.
(26:54-27:11) I think the first one is Podcasting. The second one is Live Streaming. The third one is how do you create an online course. The fourth one is Digital Marketing. And the last one is how do you build your brand online and be confident about it.
(48:39-49:03) All these things would not have been done if not for that piece of authenticity and being real to myself. What is my true calling? So thatās Soul word comes into play. Be a Soul Rich Woman. So once youāre aligned with your soul, thatās when the richness manifests both from the inside as well as the outside.
Picking your own Platform
(54:07-54:14) You really have to remember, love your customers more than you love your product. So really identify where your customers are at.
(54:32) Define your own strategy.
(55:11-55:20) So if you decide that TikTok is not for you because āvideoā is not for you si be it. You donāt have to be there just because someone said you must be there.

88: Simona Costantini Happiness Happens, Mindset and Podcasting
Simona Nicole is an Intuitive Business and Mindset Coach and host of the Happiness Happens Podcast. Simona is so passionate about helping heart-led self starters step into their magic and connect to their voice, their message and in turn their community in a significant way and grow their business. She does this by helping them find their confidence, master their mindset, get clear on their messaging, connect to their voice and build a business strategy that works so they can step out of their own way and see results.
Version 1:
05:08- 05:16 (8) I think the biggest piece to start all of it is having a desire for change and a desire for more.
05:17- 05:27 (10) If you have that desire within you that you want something different that you already have, that's the first key and first step to making any sort of change towards living a happier on purpose life.
17:04- 17:17 (13) In the beginning, itās a lot of trial and error of what you like and what you donāt like. The biggest thing, though, that has fully helped me grow my business so much faster than I ever could was working with other coaches.
17:18- 17:25 (8) Because you see what other people do and youāll learn whatās out there, youāll learn whatās available to you, and you learn the tools and every resource from other people.
17:47- 17:53 (6) If you really listen to yourself and you tuned in to what you really want. What do you want?
18:02- 18:07 (5) And then for all of those different items, what I think about is āwhy?ā Why is it that I want this?
18:13- 18:18 (5) If the āwhyā doesnāt make you excited to go into your business, I donāt think thatās the right self for you.
Quotes:
Deep connection to yourself is the most important relationship you can have.

87: Anik Singal Founder and CEO of Lurn Inc, Psychology Of Webinars
Version 1:
14:47-15:05 (18) Not whatās in it for them to buy your product that youāre going to sell at the end of the Webinar. Whatās in it for them to stay for the presentation that youāre giving. Weāll sell later. Now, weāll just have to convince them to stay. Itās another big thing people miss out on.
21:02- 21:12 (10) If you want to have a lasting impact on somebody, help them have three to five āAha!ā moments in your presentation and none more and none less.
23:12- 23:21 (9) If youāve done a great job in a presentation, the person has warmed up to you, it can be a little uncomfortable to ask them for money unless you do the purpose of transition which is answer the why.
24:59- 25:07 (8) You do not get the sale on a pitch. You confirm a sale. Nobody is going to listen to your pitch unless they are already sold. Remember that.

86: Sandra Bravo Manifest Your Dreams, Do Good and Be Amazing With Your Mindset
FWEP00086 Sandra Bravo Manifest Your Dreams, Do Good and Be Amazing With Your Mindset
Welcome to this amazing morning interview that we are going to do with this very super amazing lady whom Iāve met and she was a host of this virtual event that we did together, it was a success. I just felt that her energy was super amazing because when I researched about her, and I read about her, this lady is doing super amazing a lot of work.
Sandra Bravo has wealth experience including a decade managing sales teams. Fifteen years in corporate entrepreneurship and has more than 9 years speaking at international events. She is a certified master practitioner at NLP speakers training, best selling author and international keynote speaker. As a single mother of two and owner of three businesses, Sandra believes deeply in a power of female empowerment.
She has spoken in over 13 countries and trained over 15,000 students. Sandra brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for her practice. She has this very pure determination, will and super self-motivated because establishing her own business got amazing. To support like minor women, Sandra channels energy into transforming female businesses and supporting their personal enrichment through public speaking.
The Power
(4:52-5:12) And I know what Iām gonna do when Iām full of purpose. And I believe that empowering and serving others really feeds the soul. And I'm fulfilled, I'm full when I'm doing what I love. You know when youāre doing something you donāt like or youāre in a job that you despise, or anything like that, everything becomes a drag.
(5:21-5:28) and thatās a really good sign that youāre not doing what youāre supposed to be doing. That youāre not living into your life purpose.
(5:37) Life is different. Youāre excited to do things. Youāre excited to take care of your health, and your relationships, and your family and to help others because youāre inline with your purpose. And thatās I guess where the energy and the passion comes from.
(9:17-9:28) and it was until I got up on stage and I had the courage to finally make a public declaration saying, āThis is what I wanna do. I wanna be a speaker.ā. And itās amazing, Genecia.
(10:30-10:42) This is what I wanted and it was my chance to make it happen. So the big day came when I got to present in front of Harv and all of his trainers. You know, he was very impressed.
(10:47-10:56) and out of the 67 people they chose one person to start an assistant training for Harv. And that one person was me. It was life changing.
(12:00-12:21) And I wouldn't get out of bed until I got that split second of certainty of, āI got this. I can do this.ā. Because for me Genecia, I think visualizing and taking action go hand in hand. You can visualize all day long but if you don't take action itās not gonna fall out of the sky. And you can take action all day long, which I see soft in these days with entrepreneurs,
(12:27-12:32) they don't take the time to work on their mindset. They don't take their time to become clear, āWhat is it that I want?ā.
(12:35-12:42) āIs my action today getting me closer or farther away from my goal?ā, rather than just being busy all day but I donāt know what Iām accomplishing.
(12:49-12:57) Visualize. Be clear on your goals, what you want. Thatās when I became clear on what I wanted to do. And then take action. So i thought whatās the fastest way for me to get there.
(13:06-13:25) I didnāt quit my job straight away. So I started to get offers for speaking at events I was doing a lot of Asia back then. And I still have my full time job. And I always say to my women, my clients that I coach, ā You never quit your main source of income until you have replaced it.ā.
(13:32-13:49) A new business, a new venture, a new anything takes time to build to get the momentum. So what happens after 3 months, youāre working on the new thing but itās not giving you that income yet and now you become all stressed because youāre not making āends-meetā because you left your main source of income.
(13:56-14:00) You never leave your main source of income until youāve replaced it.
(14:47-15:03) I knew it was a short term sacrifice for a long term reward. Because I thought I can quit now, which many people do when it gets difficult and I can go back to the same and nothing will change, or I can just push through these difficult times knowing the reward will come.
(15:09-15:19) And thatās what I did. I juggle a full time job and speaking for a full year. And then eventually when I was making a lot more money speaking than my job did, then I quit my job.
Investing in Personal Development
(16:12-16:35) These days I see that the number one reason why people donāt become successful is because they keep chasing the shiny bright object. And you know they got, āOh! That person did really well doing that. I wanna try it too.ā. So I was one of those and Iām guilty of that. I tried and then I realized itās not my personality. Itās not what I love.
(16:44-16:51) And so after, I guess, eliminating everything whatās not then I realize this is my passion. And then all the dots connected.
(17:34-17:42) Do you know what ? Ever since I was a child, whenever I had a little group of friends, a little audience, I loved teaching and speaking in public. So it makes sense.
(17:56-18:06) And thatās when I went, āDo you know what ? I'm not going into trying it anymore to see if it works. Iām going all out.ā. And thatās when I eliminated all of the other distractions.
(18:20) Itās so important to make a financial commitment because then youāre putting all of you on the line, a hundred percent committed and thatās what happened for me.
(20:58-21:14) Itās a really good tool to remember what little things you accomplished in the past because that wires the thinking, the neurons in the brain to go, āActually I am resourceful. Iām determined. When I want something, nothing is gonna get on the way.ā
(21:55) As long as I can see that little next step, iāll just take it. Iāll trust and the words will be revealed.
(22:44-23:10) And I realized, you know what, it doesn't matter what country, what cultural background you were brought up, what language you speak, I realized the common theme across the voice. This woman doesn't believe sheās good enough. And thatās the only reason why sheās being held back and not going all out. And thatās when I went, āThatās it! Iām doing women empowerment. Iāve got to protect these women and show them that they are good enough to do what they think.
(23:27-23:50) And just like a successful man has a successful woman behind, a successful woman has a group of successful women behind holding her back. Because we need each other. Weāre here to uplift each other and push each other up the ladder rather than pull them back into the bucket like the crabs do,you know. So thatās when I really discovered this is what I wanna do.
Sandra talks about her Kids
(24:24_24:35) First of all for me, a big lesson was to learn the difference between a fixed mindset and a growth mindset. Cozā a fixed mindset, this thinking youāre good enough so you should be good at everything you should know at all.
(24:45-24:56) This is a big mistake. Kids that believe theyāre smart? Guess what. They cannot make mistakes cozā it just crashes their self-esteem. Theyāre supposed to know it all. Theyāre supposed to be good.
(25:01-25:11) Ever since I changed my vocabulary and I always say to my kids, āOh youāre very resourceful. Oh youāre very creative. Oh, you didnāt give up. You keep trying.ā
Overcoming Fears
(30:14-30:21) The first one is, the more vulnerable you are the easier it is to overcome the fear.
(30:52-31:00) So the thing that you feared the most, bring it over straight away. Get over it. So guess what? I turned my weakness into my strength.
(31:23-31:36) So vulnerability, right? The thing that youāre more scared of, share it. If you mess up, if you made a big mistake, share it in public. Because thatās when people connect with you because they know youāre being authentic.
(32:41-32:48) the thing is the sooner you make a decision despite how scared you are, the sooner youāll find out if itās good or if itās right or wrong.
(33:03-33:07) Talk about it. Make it public. Be vulnerable and just train your mind to believe.
(34:57-35:13) To work on yourself more than you work on your business or your job or whatever it is that you do for a living. I always say the mindset is 80% of the equation. 20% is the mechanics, the strategy of it.
(35:22-35:33) but if you don't have that 80% of the equation which is the mindset,you're gonna find a way to sabotage your success. So itās very important that you put that 80% first, which is working on yourself.
(35:36) A really powerful strategy, Genecia, is journaling. In the mornings or at night, to release all the trapped emotions that we have from childhood and from those teenage years, especially as women, because those trapped emotions that we never released become energy blocks in the subconscious which now stopped you from attracting all the good that you want and that you deserve to have.
(39:27) It all comes from within. Working on yourself. Working on your mindset.
Sandraās Next Big Project
(43:05) Wow! Iām really excited. I actually put it on sandybravo.com
(43:13) So basically, the creator of this is called Prosperity of Life.
(43:40-43:56) Itās amazing because whenever you think, whenever you say the word direct sales , people think multilevel marketing, which are 2 complete different things. Because multilevel marketing is you offering products which are usually lotions and supplements which I donāt do and I donāt like doing.
(43:59-44:08) Second of all, you sell something and you hardly get paid anything , ācoz itās another hundred people on the multi level that need to get paid. So you are working your butt off for nothing.
(44:09-44:32) So this is direct sales in the sense that the first two sells you make, whether theyāre retail or business opportunities, you pass him over to your director as a thank you because she took the time to train you into the business. But after that, anything and everything you unroll yourself is for you. So you get to keep 80 to 90% of the profits.
(44:44-44:54) So that means every sale you make you get $19000 profit. $5000 or $2000 or $1900.
(46:02) Iām going all in with that because I think itās just a complementation to my business and to what i am already doing and you can read more about it on sandybravo.com, I'm very excited about that new venture.
Soul Rich Woman
(46:35-46:52) A soul rich woman for me is a woman that is accomplished. A woman that is doing what she loves. A woman that has the freedom to be herself. Thereās nothing worse than living a life of being in jail pretending to be who youāre not, trying to please everyone else.
(47:00-47:08) To get to financial freedom youāve got to grow yourself to the level, that vibration of energy of financial freedom.
(47:09-47:24) Itās allowing you to become free in terms of your emotions, your relationships and everything else. Itās allowing you to become abundant and wealthy. So a Soul Rich Woman is a woman that leads a life in her own terms.
Favorite F-Word
(47:41-47:43) Freedom! For sure, freedom.
(47:51-47:58) If you have financial independence you have freedom of time and money. You have freedom to go wherever you want with whoever you want.
(48:07-48:12) If you have freedom you are able to spend quality time with your family.
(48:21-48:30) Freedom encompasses everything else, you know. Like I am free because I am Fabulous. Why am I Fabulous? Only because I am myself.
(49:07) If you do nothing to change right now. If you donāt take any actions, think about your life in 5-10 years from now.
(49:19-49:26) How miserable, lonely, broke youāre gonna be. Sitting on that porch, thinking, āOh my God, I wish I had.ā
(49:31-49:40) By then itās too late. So now is the time. I mean 30 days from now youāll be so glad you started today. In a year from now, in fact, youāll be so glad you started today.

FWEP00085 Alex Mandossian How to Build A Business And Brand With Podcasting
We are looking forward to a great interview today because we have a really really special guest. Youāre gonna meet this amazing gentleman whom I've met under event at Success Resources where he was such a dynamic host and coach as well.
He is Alex Mandossian. The founder and CEO of marketingonline.com and is best known by his little world of chief makers for teaching third world nations, first world strategies and how to prosper in these marketing strategies. He is also the best-selling author. This guy called Harvey Mackay acknowledges him as the āWarren Buffetā of digital marketing because of his unique ability to make money for his students and his strategic partners. As a virtual trainer he has done over 22,000 hours of training time and nearly 4,800 virtual interviews since 1995. Alexās lifetime mission is to influence and train over 1,000,000 other chief makers how to transition and profitably by his 77th Birthday. His legacy and public service that teaches chief makers how to ethically influence others through the power of storytelling .
Started online marketing
(4:43-4:46) It was 1995, it was called BG (before google)
(4:51-5:14) Google wasnāt even born when I was still online and back then it was dial up. And Dial-up means that you would call on a phone and it would be a busy signal. It was called āAmerica Onlineā back then. There was no Google or Facebook, or Twitter or any of the Social Media that we have today. In fact, those weren't even ideas in how fast weāve changed in over 25 years.
(5:15-5:32) I come from the television and marketing business. Infomercials, which are 30 minute commercials. And television commercials of 1 minute and 2 minute TV commercials. Mostly in the United States but also overseas.
(5:48-6:06) In 1995 I was somehow on a website, I didnāt have my own website back then and I realized, Wow! Iāve been on this website for about half an hour. It cost the website owner nothing. And I can interact with it. It was much different than it was today. E-mail was much different than it is today.
(6:26-6:42) We could do it online directly and quickly. So I took all my television marketing skills to infomercial marketing, to ultimately into the internet marketing and I became one of the godfathers of the digital world.
(6:51-7:12) I have over 50% more women than men and I believe itās because of storytelling. I was the first to come to Asia as an American in 2002 to teach Digital Marketing and I continue to keep coming back. I was there during lockdown and I ended up being locked down in Australia.
(7:21-7:40) Iāve been a Success Resources for 16 years and Iām very close friends with Richard and Veronica Tan. They've done much for the world but we went from being locked down for 1200 days. No more for now to virtual events and you (Genecia) were one of the shining stars in that approach.
(8:33-8:59) I was born as a Christian, and I grew up at a Christian church, except Iāve been more Buddhist in my way of being over the years. And Iāve been a big fan of the Eastern Tradition. And Lao Tzu said, āWhen the true leaderās job is done, all the people say we did it ourselves.ā. In the United States we donāt study Chinese culture or Chinese history, but I did.
(9:07-9:49) What I noticed was that the Teacher and the Elderly are two groups of people. The teachers and the elderly, they are revered. They are considered to be wise and they are always observed to be important people. In the United States, the elderly, we put in All Folks Homes and Senior Living. And teachers we donāt honor the way they do in Asia. And so what i believe is that, āThe greatest teacher is the one who turns his/her students into his/her teachers.ā
(10:11-11:03) My greatest accomplishment is having very smart and irritating students who are smarter than I am and end up becoming more successful and becoming my teachers. They call it Shifu in the Chinese tradition, Sensei in the Japanese tradition, Maestro in the Italian tradition, they would call it a Lama in the Tibetan tradition, and Guru in the Indian Tradition, Mentor in the Greek tradition. Itās very very boring in the American they call it the āCoachā. In France they call it Tutor, in England they call it Guide. Whatever you call it, itās someone who plowed the ground before you. Itās someone who has wisdom and the goal is for you to find one.
(11:06-11:12) Find a mentor because it will accelerate your path to greatness.
STORYTELLING
(11:56-12:13) If they told you stories it was very comforting. A story has beginning, a middle and an end. A story has a moral to it. So Iāll give a very quick story that I tell on stage when I want someone to buy from me. And itās the story about becoming decisive and why itās important to be decisive.
(13:00-13:15) With storytelling, itās a hero's journey weāre telling. Whether itās the movie from the Hobbits Series or Harry Potterās Series or Star Wars, thereās a story that ensnares the attention. Captures the attention.
(13:16-13:50) Alex tells the story āThe Donkeyā.
(13:51-14:07) So i tell people, donāt be that ass. Which is in the bible, by the way, they donāt call it the donkey. I say, āBe decisiveā. Itās either Yes or No. There is no āmaybeā. And I will tell you thereās 4 ways to play the game of life. You can refuse to play.
(14:12-14:25)You can pretend to play if youāre multitasking, I know that thatās a feminine approach to being great. No, multitasking is horrible. Monotasking works because when you multitask you make mistakes. Men, women, whatever.
(14:26-14:27) You can play not to lose.
(14:33-14:52) You cannot win a game of any kind. The game of life or the game in business if youāre playing defense 100% of the time. So refusing to play, pretending to play, playing not to lose those are not the ways to play. Playing to win, thatās the way to play.
(14:59-15:08) Whatever game youāre playing thereās only two outcomes you can have if youāre playing to win. Number 1, you win. Number 2, you learn.
(15:19-15:37) So those are two quick stories, analogies, and thatās storytelling. Itās story selling when youāre on stage or at a virtual event like this one. But as you tell stories they donāt doubt you, youāre not making a claim. Youāre entertaining and youāre enrolling them at the same time.
PODCASTING
(16:10-16:18) I wrote the business podcasting bible, and that was in 2005, and that was before they called it a podcast. I wrote it with a partner of mine, Paul Colligan.
(16:21-16:26) 80% of that book is no longer valid because podcasting has changed.
(16:42-17:04) I was the first to bring video online before YouTube, called Instant Video Generator. I brought audio online called Audio Generator. And the first time anyone had an opt-in page, we were the first to do that with a marketing makeover generator. We made 1.2 million US dollars in 28 minutes selling that. Now that was the first generation to many of the great platforms.
(17:14-17:28) By the way, i love pink. Pink is the color of wealth. I donāt know if you realize that, but when a man wears a pink tie that requires wealth. It is not feminine or masculine, it is a wealth color.
(17:53-18:13) So a podcast is whatās called a time-shifted content. Time shift means it's pre-recorded. So time shifting means youāre taking time, itās not live like a webinar, and you're listening to it at a certain time. And when you subscribe, youāre not subscribing with the podcaster, youāre subscribing with the platform.
(18:19-18:27) The reason I developed my podcast is I wanted a legacy. I didnāt want to write a bunch of books. I wanted to use the spoken word.
(18:42-18:46) When youāre listening you can do whatās called, not multitasking, but background tasking.
(19:13-19:22) Podcasting is whatās called time-shifted content. And you have thousands of episodes. It is your legacy. Itās topic based.
(19:26-19:37) I chose content based and I do it once a week and I've taken all of my knowledge about 25 years of sales and marketing knowledge, put it into 25 minutes week after week.
(19:43-19:48) and itās seeding through storytelling and thatās the news selling.
(20:15-20:27) The selling is not necessary, you don't have to be us, But storytelling is very very important because storytelling captivates the listener and the viewer.
(20:40-20:49) The audio piece, you can do it while youāre doing something else, thatās called background tasking. Not multitasking but background tasking.
(25:21-25:39) Iām developing virtual events with success resources and other event marketing companies like that. But theyāre listening to it, iāve recorded it, theyāve gotten a piece of my heart. After I give the content, I tell them what theyāre about to learn. I usually have three things and my format is what, why and how.
(25:55-25:59) So what, why, how is about the head, the heart and the hands.
(40:05-40:30) Iām gonna give you feedback that I hope every man and woman, mostly woman, will take to heart and that is high intention and low attachment.Itās attachment that ruins a relationship. Itās attachment that lowers your self-esteem. Itās attachment that gets you broke and your attempting a marketing campaign that keeps failing but youāre so attached to it.
(40:40-41:12) So detach. High intention, low attachment.What that means you have a high intention,āThis is what I want to doā. And then you detach from it and the results are none of your business. If the strategy doesnāt work, you change the strategy. You have a thought, you have a feeling, you take action and then you have a result. But the result doesnāt work out, you change the action. You donāt change the thought or the feeling. You donāt change your intention or your purpose. You change the strategy.
Difference between Podcasting and Virtual Events
(44:09-44:30) In doing a podcast, itās much easier to learn from someone because itās time shifted. A physical event like a webinar, you have to show up on time and sometimes they donāt have a replay. But with a podcast everything is a replay. Itās released on a certain day, if you do it properly.
(44:47-45:04) Just like that, you know itās gonna come. You are there as a friend, as a trusted adviser where youāre listening or watching someone teach you something because youāve chosen a specific topic thatās meaningful to you. So i love podcasting for that reason.
Soul Method vs. Interview Method
(45:44-46:07) The reason I did is because I'm better in -- Iām in the business many many years and with an interview. And I hope this interview is very acceptable to you. But many times the interviewee has their own agenda and they go a lot longer than you expected them to go or they go in a different direction then you wanted them to go, and so I didnāt want to deal with that.
(46:29-46:45) When you interview someone, you donāt have as much control over it. So I want to do 200 Episodes before I had interview and then I would do a second podcast every week with an interview on all selling sites. So I want to do..
(46:48-47:13) 200 content based ones, and by the time I establish that and get a following then I would go to interview . And even if they didnāt go in the direction I wanted to go, cozā sometimes it goes too long or maybe not enough or maybe itās not the content worthy of devotion then Iām not going to disappoint someone because I have a family member. You're gonna ask me possibly what my favorite F is. It's gonna be Family and I'll return to that when you ask me.
How do you discover a virtual events format that is suitable or successful?
(49:19-49:26) The secret to my success is Iām more willing to look bad in the public than you are.
(49:29-49:33) If I wanna double my success rate, I have to double my failure rate.
(49:46-49:52) In entrepreneurship, the more you fail the more you will hail success into the future.
(50:00-50:19) I take a lot of risks. I fail often. But I always fail forward, and so how do I find these templates by failing a lot? And you donāt see the failures. You donāt see the roots that are rotten underneath the soil. You just see the trunk, the branches, the leaves and the fruit, right? And Theyāre beautiful fruits.
(50:23-50:43) The reason Iām so excited in teaching you is because I failed 80% of the time to give the 20% that worked. And so Iām very excited to give you the fruit of my roots that didnāt turn into the tree that I wanted to. So Itās by failing often, thatās the secret to my success
Who do you select to work with?
(50:55-51:03) I look at the results theyāve gotten. So you know, I look at their character. I look at the type of person they are. Are they family-person?
(51:04-51:08) Many people are very good at what they do but they may not be good in other areas.
(51:18:51:23) I care about his entrepreneurship and you can say that about a lot of people.
(51:49-52:02) I look at their accomplishments. So what I look at is the results theyāve got. And if theyāve gotten the results that I want then I will want to follow them or atleast hire them or follow them as one of my mentors.
Greatest Success and Biggest Failure
(53:10) Well my biggest failure is I lost $242,000. Most of that was not my money. It came from my grandparents who were deceased.
(53:42-54:00) I was depressed and I was partially suicidal. I mean I went to take my life because I was so humiliated, embarrassed and ashamed. And those are worthless emotions but when youāre in it was very difficult, ladies, to get out of it. And if youāve been there youāll know exactly what Iām saying.
(55:36-55:44) So in order for this transformation to happen, Iām not thinking of it at that time. Iām thinking about taking my life because I'm so depressed. Itās my first business.
(56:06-56:13) Once you get your first opt in, other people follow. You get testimonials, endorsements, everyone comes in. You get case studies. It starts building.
(56:32-56:41) All the effort and discipline is in the beginning. It uses up all the fuel. Thatās why most people donāt succeed. Theyāre not willing to dig deep and go for it.
(58:01-58:07) And I realized itās not the result that we have to model. We have to model the evolution with the mentor.
(58:52-59:01) If you sell too hard they will fly away. If you donāt sell hard enough they'll walk towards you but you wonāt get the beak to hand relationship.
(59:19-59:22) Women are natural gatherers. I have a bias.
(59:25-59:37) I have men upset with me ācoz I donāt hire them. I prefer women in the sales position because I can teach them how to sell better. They listen. Theyāre community builders. And they believe in the F-word.
(59:43-59:49) And hereās the one thing I learned. If you win the heart, the head will follow.
(59:54-59:57) If you win the ears, the eyes will follow.
(1:00:04-1:00:27) Win their time. Capture their attention and sustain it so theyāre listening to you, their money will follow. Donāt go after their money right away, go after their time. Donāt go after their eyes, go after their ears, like in a podcast. Donāt go after their head and tell them how this is gonna change their life. Go after their heart and say how it changes their identity. Everything changes. Thatās what iāve learned.
(1:01:11-1:01:25) I believe that when you look at the three Mās in business which is the Market- thatās who youāre selling to, the Message- thatās what youāre selling, and the Media- thatās how youāre selling.
(1:01:30-1:01:48) Well I believe the market needs to be replaced with something more fluid, more active. Market is a noun, i like a verb- Movement. A movement is a market. A group of people who are moving. Movement is life. Nothing happens until something moves, said Albert Einstein.
(1:02:50-1:02:53) As far as community building, I found that it comes more natural to women.
(1:03:13-1:03:27) Without those obstacles, without crawling through the tunnel of sewage, then youāre not gonna have meaning in your life. If you have two roads that youāre gonna take and you have to make a desisyon. Take the one that has more meaning for you.
(1:03:31-1:03:42) In looking at āMarket vs. Movementā, pick movement first and forget about the market. Forget about who youāre selling to. Create something that creates a movement for you.
(1:04:38-1:04:44) Money doesnāt buy happiness, ok? But it makes misery a lot easier to put up with.
(1:06:57-1:07:07) You know when you talk about the soul. You know the soul is 17 grams, they say. And when someone dies the body loses 17 grams of weight.
(1:09:10-1:09:13) I would tell you if you have money issues, get over it.
Who is a Soul Rich Woman to you?
(1:10:27-1:10:47) My favorite woman of all time is Amelia Earheart. And she was the first woman to fly the Atlantic Ocean. She died into her passion of flying in the Pacific Ocean somewhere. And you know many people believed that she learned from a lot of men around her but she took a lot of chances.
(1:10:58-1:11:07) Her mentor was Anita Snook. And even if people donāt know who Anita Snook is, itās the mentor that really should get the credit.
(1:11:12-1:11:24) When you look up Amelia Earheartās life and you noticed, āIf iām gonna die, I wanna die living into my passion.ā And thatās the way she died when her plane went into the Pacific Ocean somewhere.
Which one is your Favorite F-word and Why?
(1:11:49-1:12:06) Family! And I'll tell you why. Because Freedom, you can be connected from it but you can be disconnected from it. And the other Fās, you can be connected and disconnected. But with family, you can only be connected. Itās there for a reason. Itās yours.
(1:12:18-1:12:43) So i believe family members are there to teach us. And if you look at your lineage and your heritage and you look from where you came from, thatās my āwhyā. Because I know I'm not here by accident, Iām here by divine purpose for some reason and some mission. If you find your mission as I thought I have, and mine is to teach and train a million other trainers to do the same as I'm doing right now.
(1:12:59) I have a mission that I found. Finding your mission is the key. And thatās why family for me is the most important because when things go wrong I always go back to family because I can count on them having my back. Thatās the most important āFā for me.
Podcast and Seeding
(1:13:42-1:14:11) Podcast is a vehicle and a media, and Seeding is a technique. So the principle behind all of that, I believe is what I read before I go onstage, before I do my podcast, before I do my virtual Event like a webinar. I read this every single time. And itās a quote from the Greek philosopher, Socrates. Now Socrates was the mentor to Plato. Plato was the mentor to Aristotle. Aristotle was the mentor to Alexander the Great.
(1:14:22-1:14:33) Socrates has a quote that many people donāt know. And it says, āThe greatest way to live with honor in this world is to become the person you pretend to beā.
(1:14:49-1:15:05) Be the person you pretend to be. Donāt wear the mask. If you wear the mask, the longer the mask is worn, the more your face grows to finite and youāll lose your character. Your personality is not important to me, if I'm your friend, itās your character. I wanna know whatās in your heart.

Be a woman in power with Elena Cardone Grant CardoneEmpire AUTHOR | PUBLIC SPEAKER
In this episode, weāll be empowered through the words of wisdom of our special guest. She is the Queen of her Empire, she has designed, constructed and protected a life outside of the ordinary. She has inspired a legion of followers to create their own empires ā lives that are truly fulfilling and beyond the average. She counts her current job as her most important one ā Chief Family Officer, where she is a loving mother, fierce wife and loyal friend.
Overcoming roadblocks
Elenaās life is quite challenging because she experienced a lot of struggles at a young age. She witnessed a fire across their house and killed two people despite their efforts to put out the fire.
(4:47)āAt 14 years old not having anything so traumatic occur in my life I just wasnāt skilled enough at my age to deal with something like that and my father had fought in World War II and he was a military person and weāre just a very conservative family. So it wasnāt like there was any time to really to cope it was life must go on.ā
Despite all this roadblock she pushed her way to move and step forward which led her to become the independent woman that she is now.
Passion and desire
(5:55) āSo at 17 I decided Iāve got to get out of here Iām going to Los Angeles Iām gonna be something Iām gonna become an actress.ā
Indeed, because of her passion and desire, she got her 2 and half month contract in Tokyo as a model and actress and became somewhat successful. She did modelling, acting and commercials as well.
Independent woman
(6:21)āWhen I met Grant the first five years of our marriage I was still doing this woman independent thing like we were married and I thought marriage is monogamy. I thought it was only about that. I didnāt realize that if Iāll partner up with someone it strengthens the numbers.ā
(7:23) āWhen economic collapse occurred thatās when I decided to trade in my acting career which I was terrified to do because it was what I depended on for my survival since I moved to Los Angeles by myself at 17.ā
Getting used to being independent as a teenager it was a challenge for Elena to see how a husband can contribute to her success as a woman.
āWe had a power struggle because I am super independent and I donāt want anyone to control meā
Financial Freedom
(8:29) ā We wanted to take that power into our own hands, so I have this idea about this empire, okay if he is the king and I am the queen and this is our empire what do I want it to look like? Who do I want to surround ourselves with? Do we hang out with the people with drugs and alcohol?ā
So, Elena and her husband cleaned up their lives because itās part of being a positive influence. They focused on building their empire, foregoing all luxuries they enjoyed before to pool all their resources towards their business until they become successful and gained financial freedom.
(9:18) āNow that we have created so much success in our lives financially we do have financial freedom, not just financial independence.ā
Tips on How to work with a partner(9:46)āA few little adjustments to get you both operating on the same page so that you can really utilize each otherās horsepower to push yourself instead of without even realizing it working against each other or you might go like this or you must like go straight down. But if you actually know how to work together and know each otherās roles, strengths and weaknesses and how you can build together, like push yourself on. Just eliminate the few incorrect pieces of datum because as they say āknowledge is powerā.
(10:22)āIf you get rid of bad key elements and then tweak and get on the same page it so much easier than you think. Thereās still gonna be work, thereās still gonna be sacrifice, itās still gonna take time but you will be able to exponentially up the rocket fasterā
Solving Problem
(11:02)āStop thinking so much unless itās a broad picture of possibility.ā
Start looking for the possibilities, start looking for the opportunities sometimes your biggest problem can be your biggest solution. If you are having that problem you figure out how to solve it, chances are if you solve that for other people you can scale that business out.
(11:45)āIf you need to have help, if you need to, hire somebody while you figure this out donāt feel like you are a superhero and do everything yourself at some point maybe ask your friend to help you until you can afford to pay someone to help you but you just have to go out and do something. Take action, stop thinking and do and you can do even if your knees are trembling, even if you think itās not going to work and you feel ridiculous.ā
Equipping womenās confidenceWomen's are powerful. As Elena stated:
26:27 I wanna equip women with confidence.
(26:36) I want women to mind their own goals who are they, not only a brand but as their contribution and not withhold that from the world like if we all lived up to our potential or try to fight for the greatness how could that impact the world. We could make a big difference wouldnāt just be a fairytale idea in my head like there would be real transformation. If people actually deliver their gifts and I want women to expose that and give it to the world and stop withholding and stop thinking they're not good enough. And stop thinking they have nothing to contribute. Itās so selfish women are so powerful, and so dynamic and there so aesthetic just imaging if the world operated that aesthetic wavelength you know how different just that could be.

FWEP0001 Not Everything Is As It Seems - Women in Power Singapore with Genecia Alluora
In this episode, let me encourage you as a former Miss Singapore and Southeast Asia Woman of Excellence in 2010; and founder of Soul Rich Woman, the number one female entrepreneur network in Southeast Asia that connects more than 12,000 women across the region, with presence in 7 countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
Self-SupportingAt an early age of 14 I have learned to face challenges and took on responsibilities due to lifeās circumstances.(3:33)āA lot of people thought that when I was Ms. Singapore they think that I was born with a silver spoon. But it did not start that way I had to support myself through school since I was 14 years old, teaching Yoga, aerobics and line dancing through my school years so I put myself through college I put myself through university so it was really tough.ā
Financial CrisisDue to a financial crisis, I had to step up and think of ways to support myself and my family. I had to do sacrifices to make it through in life.
(4:06)āAt that time my dad lost everything due to the financial crisis.
(4:20) Because of that I had to come up and do my own stuff and I think that has really molded me through my years and then after that I became an occupational therapist.
(4:53) Back then I was the youngest instructor in Singapore and then I went on to do classes but it was not easy because when Iām seeing other girls doing things in their free time they are going to the movie, going for shopping and then Iām working after school.ā
Empowering WomenWhat I experienced during my teenage years gave me a better perspective on influence and how it can be used to empower others.
(5:47) āIāve come along way with my experiences, now itās time to share and shortcut other woman's journey and empower others because empowered women empower others.
(6:45) After that I took on these skills, I went on to coach and mentor many women to transform their confidence from being ugly duckling to be more confident and become the better version of themselves.ā
The motivation to changeAs I moved up the ladder and gained success, I realized I needed more freedom and not be bound by time and money.
(6:56)āBecause I went through that transformation myself too. That movement actually gave me the confidence to do more in my life. In 2012-2013 I told myself Iām no longer going to trade time for money because as an image consultant you work you get paid when you stop working you donāt get paid. So I said I want to move this online.ā
Process of growthYou need to expand and broaden your horizons to progress in life. You need to invest in yourself too.
(7:21) āSo I went through a process seeking mentors, looking for coaches to coach me on the process spent hundreds and thousands of dollars looking for resources to grow my knowledge.
(7:38)I worked my way up then I took my vision of helping more women to be more confident and then I started a platform called āYou are possible academyā because I launched my own book in 2013, itās about personal branding then after that I went online.ā
A heart for women
Despite the success that I attained there was still something missing, I felt like I wasnāt where I was supposed to be.
(8:25) āDuring this whole period my heart has always been with the women even though I was doing the retail business. It was tough, because there was a calling at the back of my head like āGenecia you gotta do thisā you canāt just give up the women and just do a coffee retail chain. Move up and do more.ā
Stepping stone
(11:15) āYou know back then, I was bullied I was really bullied by mean girls in school. You know I was poor, I really didnāt have any money to change my bag or even to change my clothes besides my school clothes.ā
I faced the roadblocks in my life. From adjusting to our familyās financial situation to being bullied at school and doing jobs while studying. These situations could have hindered me, but instead of viewing them as stumbling blocks I used them as stepping stones to reaching my dreams.

INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT
Well Genecia, thank you so much for taking some time to join me today. I appreciate it.
Thank you for having me on your show, David.
Today I want to talk to you about one of your favorite words, itās the F-word. Now you talk about owning the F-word and breaking the code of the F-word. What F-word are we talking about here today?
Well, we are talking about being fabulous, having freedom, and financial independence. Above all, family.
Okay, obviously itās a fun way to talk about these things that are really important to you, at what point did you recognize in your own life that these were really important? Being fabulous, having freedom, financial independence, family, how did these things come about for you?
I started at a very early age. I started working when I was fourteen years old. My family, financially, we were not sound. My mom pawned gold to send me for instructive courses. I became certified in aerobics, yoga, and country line dancing certification. I was teaching that. I learned about the value of family when I was constantly bullied in school. I wasnāt able to buy new clothes, wasnāt able to buy new bags, and shoes. Constantly my things were hand-me-down. Whereas my friends and schoolmates were like, buy new stuff, the latest.
They all bullied me in school. There was one incident, they threw my bag across the classroom floor and all my books were strewn all across the floor. I felt very humiliated. Then there was another time when I was cornered in the yard, we were having basketball practice and they pulled open my P.E. t-shirt and exposing my bra strap and my bra, really hard. The girl actually mocked me and said, āOh. Youāre wearing the same bra?ā Literally, I just felt I wanted to die. I just wanted to commit suicide and things like that.
When I went back home, I almost wanted to do that. My mom was awesome. She counseled me. She guided me. She showed me that the āwhyā is bigger than the āhowā. She taught me that if I value family, death will not solve the problem, right? Why do you bother what the cynics or the skeptics say about you? But really focusing on whatās in front of you. From then on, I learned that my mom, my family, my brother, my dad, were a bit wise of the things that I do.
Even now, that Iām running Soul Rich Woman, the premier entrepreneur network here in South East Asia. My āwhyā is also my mom, because I see her as a leader in a community, inspiring and helping other women. Iām like, āWell okay, I want to do something like a legacy business.ā This is why Iāve done Soul Rich Woman since 2015. Thatās five years already. Itās going on strong and we want to do more to build the financial independence, which I had at a very young age. I wanted to have freedoms, so that I could spend time with my family, travel with my family.
Last but not least, being fabulous means youāre really confident about what you do, your soul, your purpose. Because to influence other people, you have to be aligned, right? Thatās why itās called Soul Rich Woman. The inner part of you and the outer parts of you, when itās aligned, the money will come. Money is just a by-product of whatever that we are doing.
You have had just an incredible journey through life. You talked about at a young age needing to begin working. My mind gets blown when you talk about that you made money teaching line dancing. When was the last time you went country line dancing?
Just last year I was there. In fact, it was fun. These days, nobody really dresses up as cowboys any more. Thereās more relaxed dressing like jeans and t-shirt, and stuff like that. Yeah, last year. I went back to have fun.
Thatās very fun. Very cool. Not only did you do that, but then you obviously became Miss Singapore in 2006. How did you get into beauty pageants? Was that the first pageant that you enrolled in or were there others before that? Take me back.
I joined a modeling competition in 2004. Think of it as the Next Top Model. That was like the biggest thing in Singapore. I joined that first. I got into the top twenty out of one thousand candidates.
Wow.
Iāve never thought of becoming that because I was constantly bullied in school. My self-esteem definitely took a dump. Eventually I got some really good friends who encouraged me to join a beauty pageant and said, āYou could just give it a go. Why not have some fun?ā I said, āOkay, but Iām not rich.ā I donāt have that much money to buy the clothes, get the dresses, and things like that. It was hard. Eventually I joined, and I was not trained. I donāt have money to attend a lot of courses. What I did was, I knocked on doors. I literally went around to knock on doors to look for someone to teach me in public speaking. I was literally knocking on every door and asking for sponsorship. āI could be the future Miss Singapore. Iām not there yet, but hey, maybe invest in me.ā
Yeah, sure. Of course.
Eventually I met this lady, her name is Rebecca. I remember her very fondly. Sheās really, very āhow do I say this? Like a mom figure as well, but in the sense sheās very open, very gentle. She said, āOkay, I will sponsor you. So here are all my DVDās, my notes, and everything you need to do public speaking. How to use your vocals and reach out and express yourself.ā I said, āOkay, fine.ā Then later on, she asked me for my bag. So I said, āOkay, Iāll pass you my bag.ā Rebecca took my bag, and opened up the bag, and took out my wallet, and opened up my wallet, and poured out every single cent I have in my wallet. My sixty dollars, which is an entire monthsā worth of pocket money that I have for my food.
Iām like, āRebecca, why are you taking my money from my wallet?ā She said, āYou know what Genecia? Although Iām sponsoring you, itās never free. I must show you what do I mean by value. Even though you are not rich to pay me, which is thousands and thousands of dollars thatās on the table right now. All the DVDās, the CDās, and everything else that you have and you see. I will take something in exchange so you can learn the importance of value.ā
At that moment I was struck. Because, āWhat? You mean take away all my pocket money? And you said value.ā I couldnāt understand that at that point but I still accepted it because she was willing to help me, right? Now that I look back, I definitely learned the understanding of value and I applied it in my life constantly. Later on, I went on to join Miss Universe Singapore. I won third place. Then I continued to join one more pageant which was Miss Singapore International, and I won. I represented Singapore twice and the rest is history.
As you began to walk through that process of pageants, what were some of the things that you learned? You talked about public speaking. Thatās a big one. What are some of the other things that that pageant process taught you?
The pageant process taught me how to do teamwork in the shortest time possible. There was nineteen delegates, and you are put together to work together as a group, right? Within two to three weeks, and you need to do the finals. That taught me cultural differences and learn how to live with each other in that sense. Thank God my roommate was Miss Japan. So culturally weāre not that different, but language, definitely there were differences. Secondly, I learned how to present my brand. How do you present a platform? Learn how to consistently make your message consistent.
That one was also something that I picked up during the pageant. Because to shine on the international platform, you really need to know how to present yourself well. Whether itās image, whether itās grooming department, to the Ambassadors of the country or the high-level ranking officials, you need to know how to present yourself well. I think thatās the second one.
Of course, last but not least is learning how to put everything together. Knowing at different places you canā t be everything to everybody but you know how to be that person who you are no matter what happens right in front of you. Be authentic. Learning to grapple with authenticity and being who you are, instead of trying to be somebody. Because thereās always somebody that you always look up to, and you think that you try to be that person. But in the pageant, for me, I learned the power of authenticity. When youāre truly you on stage and off stage, thatās when the magic is going to happen.
Thatās interesting you say that, because often times if I see a pageant, and Iām definitely no expert on pageants, I click through and see something on TV. Authentic isnāt the word that would necessarily come to my mind. I would think that thereās almost like an outer, itās a show. You know what I mean? Youāre putting on your best. Youāre putting your best foot forward, obviously. But youāre saying there needs to be this match of whatās going on inward with what youāre projecting outward. Why does that need to match? Why canāt you just put on an outer shell or a show? Why wouldnāt that work for you?
I think that goes in two perspectives. One is, when you put on a show on stage, like if youāre modeling and you are just putting on the show, to walk the show that the designer wants, the look and feel. Thatās a separate story all together. The context that Iām putting it in for authenticity simply means that the energy, the essence that youāre putting out there. That when you are speaking on stage the message youāre sharing, the platform youāre standing on, how then do you communicate your personality there?
Then when you get offstage, do you completely become a different person? For me, Iām a trained extrovert. Iām basically an introvert. I need to know, how do I unleash the extrovert part of me on stage so that Iām able to communicate with my audience on the stage? Itās all about knowing how to be grounded as a person with a good head on your shoulders. No matter what circumstances or which state you are at, you will definitely shine through. Thatās what I meant.
Once you won Miss Singapore, twice, you had some opportunities that opened up for you, I would assume. Opportunities to meet different people and take your life to new places. What are some of the greatest opportunities that you got out of that whole experience?
Definitely made a lot of good friends. So many years moving forward, a decade, I still am very good friends with Miss Hong Kong, Miss Japan, Aruba, and basically all the girlfriends around the world are still there. Theyāve married and then theyāve moved on as well. I think three are super amazing. For me also other things like being able explore myself as a person, deeper level where itās beyond just fame and material. But really seeing, how do I want to change my life?
Another very awesome experience was, I was really exposed to the power of inner healing. One of the sponsors sponsored me to go for an inner healing transformation course and that really changed my life. That really helped me saw all the old junk that we have that is holding us back. After I had gone through that for the years moving forward, I have been constantly and consistently working on myself. Through inner healing and transformation, only then then you can transform your life.
I feel thatās the best gift. Of the travel and everything is good, but I feel the biggest gift for me, when I look back now at the age that I am and the space where Iām at with Soul Rich Woman, Iām just like, āMmm, itās the inner healing part.ā Because if not for that journey, I would not have the depth and breadth to understand and help more women. To help them to bounce back and help them to translate all this negativity into positivity.
The inner healing and that personal development, is that popular in South East Asia? Or would you say that thatās unique?
Back in 2006, it was unique. Only Tony Robbins, you see T. Harv Eker, big names like that from the U.S. You donāt really see a lot of Asian or South East Asian really working on those things. It definitely has changed over the years. I was exposed to Money and You, and also Psychology of Vision, and these two programs actually opened up my mind and heart. Now South East Asia is very popular and open to all these spiritual awareness, higher consciousness, and looking at how you can heal to be happier and more money.
Because sometimes money is equal to your inner consciousness as well, right? Itās never just about having more customers and just having a business. Itās about the balance of that spiritual self. I think this is the time where thereās a lot of spiritual awakenings. I will say this entire season a lot of them are growing and seeking above and beyond of just making money and business.
It seems like the more prosperous a culture is, the more there is, I would even say, time to be able to think about those types of issues. I know Iāve got a few friends that are in Pakistan and I have a lot of friends in India, and often times theyāre so busy trying to just make a living. From even just manual labor type, whether itās farming, or agriculture, or other service-based industries, they donāt even have time to think about things that you and I think about or talk about. It definitely is, I would say, a privileged position we are in to be able to even process at that level, you know?
Yeah, thatās right.
I know that youāve operated multiple businesses, but there was a shift around 2012 where you went from offline, kind of brick and mortar businesses to online businesses. Talk to me about why you began to develop online businesses.
I was an image consultant after I finished Miss Singapore. I took on the image consultancy certification, a natural progression for me. Plus I had been training all my life, becoming a trainer and instructor since I was fourteen, so it was a natural progression for me to teach and help other people to look good and be fabulous. It was quite interesting because I started very early. I believe it was because I started very young. So when I was looking at my life Iām like, āIām not going to be like my mentors, whoāre still teaching at that age.ā
I mean nothing wrong about teaching at that age, but I would want to not be grounded and tied down by the number of classes I have or the number of participants I have in a workshop. I do not want to be tied and pulled back by that. I want to be able to travel the world, be anywhere at any time, and still be able to run stuff. I decided to stop trading time for money. If I work, I get paid. I work, I get paid. I donāt work, I donāt get paid. I said, āNo. I donāt think I want to go through that.ā
In my early twenties I decided to work on going online. I invested in quite a number of courses. I spent quite a lot of money doing that. About I will say at least about fifty to hundred K on courses to find out what is online. Eventually I found a mentor who showed me the way. In 2013 I went completely online. In three months I made a hundred thousand. In a year I made one million dollars.
What was that first online business?
I was doing like selling skin care. I had different businesses. I had multiple ones. I was selling skin care. I was selling gifts. Yeah, stuff like that.
E-Commerce.
E-Commerce. I was doing E-Commerce. Back then, it was a boom. It was a boom town back then and competition was still okay. You just had to know how to manage it. I think it was really awesome to do that. Then I progressed by sharing my knowledge online. Switching on the webinar, the webcam, and then using webinar software. I was there like ābamā. Every single Wednesday I was sharing my skills and my results with people over the internet. I made my money and I was invited to invest in the cafe retail business. So it kind of progressed from offline to online, and then went offline again while the online was still running.
I started my cafe business with my partners. We have seven outlets in three countries. We had eighteen franchises and licensees in total. It was very amazing, because I was a medical student and never had business experience. So doing all these operational, retail, and marketing PR for a retail chain was out of my mind and out of my zone, but we still did it. After four years we exited this business to a public listed company. It was good. So offline to online, and then online to offline. Then during that time when I was doing my cafe business, I just felt that my soul is empty.
Even though I was good in business, I had the money, I had the fame, I had everything that I had. I just felt, I think Godās calling me but I think Iām not responding yet. That kind of thing. At that moment I knew that I need to do something else, which was why I was online sharing on the webinar. At every Wednesday at 9 PM it was called Webinar Wednesdays, so there was this like jingle to it. It grew.
This group of women started to talk to me and they followed me. My community kind of formed and thatās how Soul Rich Woman was being born while I was moonlighting for my cafe business. I was moonlighting, right? My cafe business was the full-time, and then this community thing was a part-time, side hustle. It grew, it grew. I think it was very timely when we exited to the public listed company. It was really awesome. I just cashed out and I just invest and started Soul Rich Woman.
I love that. How would describe Soul Rich Woman? If we were sitting next to each other on a plane and I said, āSoul Rich Woman, what is this? What do you do?ā
I would usually say the F-word. Helping women to own and live the F-word. Being fabulous, having freedom, and financial independence, and above all, family. Sometimes I find it very difficult to explain exactly what we do. Because like for women we have so many different aspects of us. We are the healer. We are the giver. We are the creator. We are the initiator. So many parts of us. Of course in a nutshell, we help women to go from offline to online. Thatās very technical, right? Helping women to get more clients online, get more recognition, being seen, being heard.
Thatās part of the description technically you want to explain to somebody. But the work that we do is beyond that. I can tell you thereās a lot of emotional stuff going on. You have to help women to see and get beyond that. Imagine this, on a racetrack, a guy and a girl. You put them on a racetrack, theyāre supposed to run the race. In front of the guy is just a briefcase, a table, their work, their paperwork, and maybe their boss. In front of the lady or the girl will be the kidās homework, the school, the laundry, the washing machine, the housework, and everything else in front of the lady or the girl. That is difficult, right?
A lot of times before we could get to so-called getting our self from offline to online and seeing that thing, that fabulous, that freedom of financial independence. We have to help them to see self-care. To see that they need to put themselves first. I mean, of course we need to put our family first, right? We love our family so much. But to the point where they no longer exist in the world. Like me and self-care no longer exist in the dictionary. So we have this lady who is a ten-year stay-at-home-mom. She was the chief financial and family officer at home, but sheās done nothing for herself in the last ten years. Nothing.
All she does is household chores, cooking, and taking care of the kids. Sheās got three kids. She raised the kids and thatās it. Thatās what she do. Take care of the husband, right? Serve the husband and thatās all what she do. One day she decided that she wants to be more fabulous. By having that first awareness, she was able to come to us because she found us online. Go through the programs, the mentorship program for example. In two months she found her fabulous. She was able to start an online business by her own brand, which was a chili paste that she did. She made four figures in just two months.
A ten-year stay-at-home-mom transforms her life, got fabulous, got financial independence. She really donāt need the money. It means that she doesnāt need to make a million dollars. For her, having financial independence is good enough. Doesnāt need to ask husband, if I want to do my hair today, or do my eyelashes today, or do my nails today. āHey, I donāt need to ask my husband for the money. I can make a decision of my own.ā That really transformed the womanās life. I really believe that what we do here is helping woman to change their life so that their entire community will benefit.
Yeah, wow. In America, where most of our listeners are, most of our listeners are in the US, Canada, Australia. Statistics show that a woman, even if she has a full-time job outside of the home, she still does the majority of the household duties, so to speak. In Singapore, would you say, I assume that thatās also the case? Is that true?
I think itās not just whether itās Singapore or not Singapore. I see two groups of women. Women who believe in adding more value and delegating, versus another group of women who just believe that they should do everything because their mothers taught them and their grandmothers taught them how to do so. I give example, my mom, she would expect me to do household chores and she would nag at me. Sheād be like, āHey girl you got to be cleaning up your room, wash the toilet, clean the floor.ā And Iām like, āMom, I think my time is more valuable than that. Why donāt I just get a helper for you, a maid for you? So that this helper can just do the things that you want her to do, while my value of my time, instead of being stuck at home trying to clean the floor like Cinderella, I will just take you out. Letās go out. Letās travel. Do stuff together.ā
So the value of the time, what do you see of value and your worth? Then outsource and delegate. Even I do that in my business a lot; delegating and outsourcing. Then thereās another group of women who believe in the value. So one group of women who donāt believe in helpers, extra help. The other group of women who believe that they could delegate and outsource. Iāve women in the community who trains a helper to do the stuff. Thereās SOP and thereās a process to everything, you know? She could go out and do the things she want to do, while raising three kids who know are in gifted schools. Then another lady in another group of women would be like grumbling, āIām so busy. I have no time. I have to take care of my kid. I have to do the laundry. Itās so difficult. Life is very hard.ā
You hear two camps in the community. I always encourage both sides to interact with each other and share with each other how to have better quality of life. I understand the meaning of quality of life. I always tell them, āGirls, when youāre in the community, help one another. Share with each other your experiences. Help each other open up and transform each otherās mindset.ā If you donāt change your mindset. The thing about society, the mom, the grandmothers who taught us that women must be this, must be that. Hey, that should already be broken or starting to change. We have been in Soul Rich Woman doing this for the last five years. We really believe in alone we are strong and together we are unstoppable.
That is a powerful statement. Alone we are strong, but together we are unstoppable. So you have how many women across South East Asia that are part of your network?
Right now, we are at two hundred thousand and we would like to have a million members.
How does that work? Does somebody actually join, or do they come to an event, or are they mentored? How does somebody join the Soul Rich Woman?
Itās really very interesting. There are a couple of ways that they join. Usually there is a pattern to join Soul Rich Woman. Because we are ultimately an online platform, we only hold three events a year. But we are in South East Asia by working with partners and everything. Most of them would have joined by watching a webinar, or a Facebook Live, or listen to our podcasts. So theyāll be somewhere swimming online and then they would come through the funnels and join Soul Rich Woman.
Our membership is twelve dollars a month. This is the price number, after five years we have charged different pricing and adjusted different pricing, and eventually we decided itās twelve dollars a month. I find that the women in South East Asia, the earnings that they are making is so different from what most of us are making. In Vietnam, a lot of them are making three hundred USD a month. In the Philippines, depending where youāre at, in Manila it can go up to five, six hundred USD a month. For Malaysia, different countries have different salary, so thereās a gap.
If you were to charge a hundred dollars USD a month membership versus a twelve dollar a month membership, and of course you must see what kind of value you give. Thatās when they will be able to join. For mine, itās only twelve dollars and two hundred thousand members. In the membership, what we do, we provide is to solve one problem every single month. We only provide two videos. Two master classes with office hours. Yeah, and women just sign up. Regardless of you pay gap, or pay that you are receiving, you can afford twelve dollars, right? Thatās my logic and it worked.
It has worked so amazing. It blew our minds like, āWow@ā People are just signing up, because first of all, itās affordable and it allows women to have accessibility. Of course, women who want to scale their business, who want to do more for their business or transform their business and life more and at a different level, then they will sign up for the two-day workshop or the digital products. Or they would do a mentorship program, or the Mastermind programs. There is different levels that we are looking at like the value ladder.
Now youāre winning in a huge way in South East Asia, but I also know youāre doing a lot of podcast interviews with people like me where my audience is primarily in the United States. I see you in other podcasts. Are you looking to expand to the United States? Do you just enjoy talking to people that have a different audience? Help me understand. What are you trying to do here?
This part of the strategy is to really get seen and be known to an audience that Iāve not touched with. I think after building South East Asia, there is a network here for your listeners, who are listening right now, thatās you. To know that if you were to travel to South East Asia, there is a network you can tap on. Thatās what I want to do, to let people know on the other side of the world, that such a network exists. And itās really huge and amazing. If you were to ever come to South East Asia, connect with us.
I love it. Letās talk for a minute about the woman who is listening right now. Maybe sheās never had a business at all. Sheās been a stay-at-home-mom. Maybe her kids are getting older and sheās thinking, āI want to have some financial independence.ā I assume you would suggest that she would start some sort of online business? Why would you suggest that? And how would you suggest she would go about doing that?
I always fall back on our Soul Rich Woman blueprint, which is a magic wand. I talk about the metaphor of Cinderella and how the fairy godmother holds the magic wand and ābingā, but you must come back by twelve midnight, right? So Cinderella eventually became who she was again after coming back from the ball. As a fairy godmother, youāre holding the magic wand. The power is in your own hands. No matter what, where, or who you are, a man is not a financial plan. Number two, you can be the fairy godmother. You donāt have to wait for a fairy godmother.
The wand is a star, made up of a star, made out of the glow, and the stick is what we call the magic funnels. So the women of influence, and then the glow, and then that stick itself. When you are a stay-at-home-mom and you want to start a business, I will say to not even think about starting the online business first, but first by looking at the star. Think about it, on social media, and everywhere else now, you can have the best funnel in the world and I can build a funnel in ten minutes. But if you are not a star, a glow, having a glow of sorts, nobody will ever notice you.
First step is to build up your star. What is a star? A star means, what kind of influence? What are you talking about on social media? Even before they click the link to say, āJoin Now to my free 10-day workshop,ā or ā Free one-day webinar,ā or whatever the case may be. If the image is not capturing attention, the words you use are not capturing attention, people will not even notice you. Step number one is always work on your star. Find somebody to extract that out from you. Find a coach, find a mentor, or sign up for Davidās program, to Launch Your Life online.
Really look at it. Then look at how that works for you by building this part of the brand. Then go to the next step. A lot of mistakes that women make is they create the best website, the best social media, the best funnel, but itās the technical stuff. People resonate with your story. A lot of the women resonate with my story, and thatās why they joined Soul Rich Woman. I was working at a very young age, and the group of women who join us also have suffered to a certain extent before they join us.
I had been in debt before. I was bankrupt. All these things to a woman is like devastating. Thereās no way out. Your psychology gets stuck and you canāt even go places. When you are able to let your audience resonate with you, like doing a podcast, writing a blog, doing a Facebook Live, whatever that may be easiest for you, get started. Get there so that your star is shining, your voice is heard. That is when you can eventually start an online business. Thatās when your audience is ready to buy from you. A group of raving fans, whatever that you offer they purchase from you.
How would you describe your star? You are a star in your own right. We all are stars. I hear what youāre saying, thatās beautiful. But how would you describe your star?
I would describe my star in three words. I will say my star is fabulous. I have the fabulous part of my story. I have that freedom part of my story. And I have my financial independence part of the story. And above all, family. I put all these as part of my star, so that the women can resonate and relate.
Is a man part of your plan?
Definitely, a man is part of my plan. We are not feminists, you know. I really believe in a balanced viewpoint. My partner has invested in my business. Heās now become my partner, before that he was my mentor. To me, having a man in the business to help the balance of viewpoint. In fact, weāre about to launch the menās side, which is Soul Rich Man. So Soul Rich Woman and Soul Rich Man. Itās all about having that balance viewpoint, and that truly I believe in. Because when women come to the community, they do have sometimes husband issues or relationship issues. By having a strong support group of both men and women, like each otherās success stories and what theyāve gone through, really help one another.
Awesome. All right, so if people want to connect with you, two websites; www.geneciaalluora.com, and weāll have that spelling in the show notes. Also www.soulrichwoman.com. Can somebody join Soul Rich Woman if they donāt live in South East Asia?
Yes, we have members not from South East Asia joining us at twelve a month, so you can join us. In fact, I have two gifts for you, who is tuning in right now. You should go and check out my Seven Secrets of Personal Branding. Go and download that. That really will help you. Thatās the book that I wrote. The other one is How to Delegate 80% of Your To-Do List to Your Assistant, so you can be in your zone of genius and make more money.
How do they get both of those free resources?
Go to my website SoulRichWoman.com. Please connect with me at Genecia Alluora on Facebook, LinkedIn, or Instagram. I will love to hear your views on todayās episode.
Genecia, can I become a Soul Rich Woman?
Well, there are guys in Soul Rich Woman if you do the twelve dollars a month membership. Generally, if there are events, usually itās women only. Unless weāre partnered with companies, like we partnered with a media company and we opened up the event to both men and women because weāre talking about getting leads and how you generate leads online. But when we talk about women empowerment stuff, where women feel safe, thatās when itās an all-woman event
I get it. All right, Iāll stand outside the door and just kind of listen in.
You can wear a skirt if you want to.
I could wear a skirt and come in. Yes, thatās right. I could do that. Genecia, thank you so much for sharing your story, and thank you for sharing your wisdom. Iām blown away by what youāve been able to do and what youāll continue to do. Youāve got a long journey ahead of you. I canāt imagine how many women and men will be impacted by your work, so thank you.
Thank you.
Good, good. Good stuff. You are really kicking butt.
Sure.
I realized it wasnāt working. I think when we get to that place where weāre trying to start setting boundaries with people or weāre trying to be respected, we think that we have to act a certain way, but honestly, you can act however you are. Just show up as yourself and set boundaries. So if you are sort of like me, you can still be a boundaried person, you can still give tough love.
Of course.
You ask some people and theyāre like, āOh wow, we donāt overstep with her.ā You can still be respected.
Sure.
By being this way. You donāt have to be hardcore.
Yeah, yeah. I said that about reading your book, in your book you come through as very ā I never even used that word sweet. I feel awkward. I hope that doesnāt feel awkward to you.
Not at all. No, no, no, not at all.
But the book is very authentic. It comes through as sweet. But the cover is not sweet. The cover is like, āI am going to kick your butt!ā
Itās so funny you said that because thereās a whole story behind the cover. I havenāt really shared it yet. If you want, I can share it with you how we got this picture.
Do it.
So the morning that we were about to go and have this cover shoot, I had a photographer flying in from Dallas. Iām so excited. Iām in my head.
Because there are no photographers in New York. You had to have somebody fly in from Dallas. What the heck?
Sheās so good at book covers. Sheās done so many book covers that I just had to have her.
I love it.
Yeah, I was just in my head, āHow am I going to make this the best cover? How am I going to look the best?ā This and that. I didnāt like my hair. Long story short, I actually went and grabbed kitchen shears and cut my hair.
You did not!
Yes. Yes. I had just gotten a haircut. It was one of those quick ones from those walk-in places because I didnāt have enough time to see my regular girl, and it just was not what I wanted. So I YouTubed how to cut your own hair, did it. It looks fine on the cover. It doesnāt look horrible.
It looks great! Yeah.
My little ones were sick. They were up the whole night before. It was just one of those days where youāre just like, āI donāt even want to do this. I feel like a mess, lifeās a disaster.ā Went to this cover shoot. Again, I think often we get so caught up in our heads about me, me, me. What are people going to think? What are they going to think about the cover? How are they going to perceive me? This or that. I got caught in my head that morning.
Then there was a moment during the shoot, and she was snapping me, taking these pictures. Thereās a million of these pictures. I just said, āI just want to pause for a second because I need to get out of my head.ā I just started to think about ā it clicked. āThis book is not about me. Why am I making this about me? This is ridiculous. Iām being so silly right now. This book is about all these women who need to hear whatās inside of this.ā
Sure.
āSo why am I making this cover pictures about me?ā There was this beautiful song on the background the photographer had on, I just started to get teary. Iām not really a crier at all. I rarely cry. I started to get teary. She was like, āStay like that. Just stay like that,ā and she just snapped the pictures. Iām like, āThatās going to be the picture.ā So Iām actually on the verge of tears in this picture.
Wow.
So itās so funny because it looks like a boss kind of face, but itās actually me just in a breakdown moment, going through a breakthrough. Just reminding myself, this is not about me. I knew because I saw the whole series of pictures and Iām like, āThatās the one. Itās right there.ā
Nice. Nice, that is very fun. Yeah, well you look gorgeous, and badass, and powerful all at the same time, but the book is an embodiment of your sweetness. Letās talk about some of the lies, because you do tackle twelve really powerful ones. Do you mind picking? Maybe weāll just through a few here, some of your favorite lies. Maybe just talk about them for a few minutes.
Yeah.
Is there one that stands out to you?
Probably my favorite is the lie about not having enough time.
Okay, not having enough time. This is lie number nine.
Yes, because we all have the same hours in the day. Right? I think that us saying thereās not enough time, itās really just an excuse for either, Iām scared or maybe I donāt want whatever Iām saying I donāt have enough time for. Itās about us replacing that lie of, I donāt have enough time with, I actually have more than enough time for the things that are priorities in my life, the people that are priorities in my life. I just have to figure out how to set boundaries and how to get to those places, or get these things that Iām looking for.
Again, I think that for many women, it ties into the lie of, I canāt be a good business owner and a good mom, like I think a lot of us tell ourselves. I canāt have a business and be a mom because I donāt have the time. I think we find all of these little excuses rather than just move ahead. I think itās just, how can you stop today and evaluate your schedule, evaluate all of the priorities, and all of the commitments in your life, and just start to live your life doing what you want to do?
Not doing what you think you should do, or what you need to do, or what you have to do, and just starting asking yourself, what do I actually want? Because thatās the only way to get where you want to go, is to know what it is that you want. Now that I know what I want, how can I set the boundaries to get there? Because I think in order to get there, we have to set boundaries. We have to cut things out.
As youāre working with women, what are some of those things that you have found that your clients have to say no to in order to create that time that they need in order to start something in their life?
I think sometimes it could be something as easy as letting someone pick your brain or saying no to a relationship that maybe isnāt serving you anymore. Maybe itās very one-sided, maybe itās toxic, maybe itās saying no to something as little as Netflix. My dream is very big and I want to get there, I need to say no to some of these habits or behaviors that I have that arenāt serving me anymore. Setting boundaries like saying no to driving someone to airport if maybe you donāt need to.
I think sometimes itās hard for us to say no right away to things, so what I always like to say is, just say, āHey, let me go check my calendar,ā or āLet me get back to you.ā I think we live in this day and age with Instagram DMās and Facebook PMās that we feel like we have to get back to people right away. We feel like we have to rush. There is no rush. We donāt owe anyone anything. Itās okay to say, āIāll get back to you tomorrow,ā or āIāll get back to you in a few days.ā
I think that when we do that, it gives the other person the expectation of, āOh, maybe I need to look for backup.ā Or, āMaybe this is not going to work out and thatās fine, so Iām going to find these other avenues to take.ā So I think just starting there, sometimes just saying no or saying let me get back to you.
It seems like youāre saying we need to say no to other people possibly, but also I hear you saying that we may need to say no to ourselves.
Yeah.
I think that oneās just as hard.
Yeah.
What are some of the things? You mentioned Netflix, but what are some other things that you have coached your clients to have to say no to?
I think we allow other peopleās behavior, right? So we can put a line down in the sand and say, āNo youāre not crossing this.ā I think often we almost play the victim of, āThese people are overstepping my boundaries.ā But itās like, no, youāre actually overstepping your own boundaries, like youāre replying back right away, youāre not saying no to their request. So I think that we need to sometimes pause ourselves. I think itās hard.
I think itās almost harder at times to set a boundary with ourselves than with other people. I think for some people itās just as simple as penciling things into your calendar. Like, āIām going to take a lunch break.ā Or, āIām going to take a little bit of self-care time.ā Rather than letting your schedule just overflow with these commitments, or these things that maybe really arenāt serving you or arenāt moving the needle in your life or your business.
I think another thing is that sometimes we have to say no to things that we actively want to do, because maybe theyāre not the best opportunity for us right now. Or maybe we want to do it because we want to say yes out of scarcity. If I donāt say yes to this, I might miss out on this opportunity. Or if I donāt say yes to this, I may never get this opportunity again. I think if thatās your mindset, I think that you need to again, always step back and get quiet.
Thatās the answer for everything. Step back, get quiet, and say, āWhat is it that I really want? How is this really serving me right now? Is this something that, yes, itās a great opportunity, but maybe itās not what I need in this moment.ā I think that saying no to even great things will open up space for even better things to come in, and those opportunities may arise again in the future.
I love how you said at the beginning about our chat about this particular lie, that itās really about determining what is your highest priority.
Yeah.
And how do you then make the decision in light of that? That is so hard. That is so hard sometimes. Especially when weāve been doing something for so long, whatever the rut is weāre in. Choosing to help other people or whatever it might be. Itās like, āOkay, well you only have so much time.ā
Yeah.
So you can spend it helping that other person as they pick your brain and thatās not going to help you with your business or whatever.
Yeah.
Or you can spend that time focused on moving your business forward. That is just so hard. So hard. So I donāt have enough time. So state that again, you said I have more than enough time. I heard you say that.
Yeah.
End of that statement though.
I have more than enough time for my priorities, for the people that I care about, for the things that I want most in life. Thereās always enough time. Always enough time.
Yeah, so good. Okay, whatās another lie thatās a favorite of yours?
The hardest chapter for me to write was the motherhood chapter, chapter seven.
Okay, I canāt possibly have a successful business and be good mom. How old are your kids right now?
Fifteen months and two and a half.
And theyāre both girls?
Both girls. Charlie and Annabelle, yeah.
Gosh, thatās so cute. Such cute names. Charlie, how did you come up with that name?
I always loved the name Charlie. Her real name is Charlotte, but I said I want a daughter named Charlie. Annabelleās the first, you know how you just feel like a name is right or wrong for the baby? āI love this name. I love it, but maybe itās not the right time,ā like we just talked about. āI always loved the name Charlie, but I just felt like I donāt think this is the name for her. Iād like Annabelle for her, so weāre going to go with Annabelle.ā Then for the second one Iām like, āSheās Charlie. Sheās definitely my Charlie.ā
What did your husband say?
Oh, he loved the name too.
Okay, and he was cool with Annabelle? He didnāt need the first child to be Charlie?
Yeah. No, no.
Glad you guys were on the same page. I wanted to name our son Remington and my wife was not up for that because we knew somebody with a dog named Remington and it just ruined the whole thing. Okay, so I canāt possibly have a successful business and be a good mom. Why did you believe that?
Yeah, so I was in a place where we didnāt have kids yet. We had a dog and I remember my husband saying to me, āKate, all you do is talk about not having enough time. You donāt have enough time to bring him to training.ā We both did our fair share of training him. āYou donāt have enough time to play with him. How are you ever going to ā,ā and he said this out of complete love too. I just want the preface with that, he said it out of complete love. āHow are you ever going to have enough time to have kids if we want to have a family some day?ā
That got me thinking, āAll right, I donāt actually know if I want to have a family someday. Iām not sure if that is something that Iām still going to want to do, because I really love my business.ā I was in a place where it was probably an unhealthy place. I really love to work and I love the work that I do. Our pregnancy was a surprise and it was exactly what I needed. It was a gift that was handed to me. Because I really think that if I had not become a mother, I probably would not be where I am right now. My relationship with my husband probably would have gone in a different direction. I would have been a workaholic. I wouldnāt have been in a good mind space. I would not have written this book. So I think it was just such a gift.
It was something that I really had to work though. At first I felt like, āOkay, I can handle this. I think that my baby will probably take a nap, will probably sleep. I can work during those hours.ā Of course, we had the baby that never napped and didnāt take a bottle, so we couldnāt even get her into daycare because she wasnāt on a bottle. I was in such a low place, just believing that I lost my businesses. That this was over and Iād have to go back to maybe a nine to five in the future. Thatās actually how the book was born. I was just was in my head, just feeling like I lost everything, even though I had this beautiful baby in my arms. I just started to write my feelings down on paper. Little by little, it ended up turning into this book. Everything in this book started with that motherhood chapter.
Wow.
What I realized is that number one, moms and dads are superheroes. They can get anything done. Give something to them and they will get it done, even if theyāre busy. Because theyāre typically very good at boundaries. Everything that I do in life and business now, this is something that I like to ask myself is, āDo I really want to do this?ā Because me going and letting someone pick my brain for an hour, thatās an hour that Iām away from my kids and away from my family. Is it really worth it? Is it really going to make that much of an impact? Am I making more of an impact on that person? Or on my family? Is there a way that I can make a bigger impact in a middle ground?
So now itās like, āAll right, maybe I can do a whole meet up and invite lots of women over for coffee.ā Thatās what I do actually quarterly at my house. Or can I sit down a write a blog? Can I ask that person, āHey, what were your questions? Iām really interested to hear. I really want to help you but I think that these questions can be answered to a lot more people. I think a lot of people can get value from this, so Iām going to write a blog post about it instead.ā And sit down, and maybe that forty-five minutes of writing the blog post will make such a big impact on many people.
Iāve learned to just become very good at simplifying too and just making things easy. Thatās my motto. Just make it easy. Make it easy. Sometimes it just drives people crazy. Because theyāre like, āYeah, but this would be great.ā Iām like, āNo, just make it easy. Donāt make it hard on yourself. Just make it easy.ā
So now you have a successful business and youāre a good mom.
Yeah.
How does that feel?
It feels great. Yeah, it feels great. I will say there are days where I do at times still feel like Iām failing at both, but I remind myself this is just a feeling right now, this will pass, and hereās the evidence. This is why Iām a good mom, and this is why I am good at my business, and this is how my business is succeeding. I think that with every new up-level in life and business, thereās always going to be a breakdown before the breakthrough.
Youāre going to be challenged and pushed in a different way and I think thatās just growth. I think that in every new opportunity, itās going to feel scary or youāre not going to feel equipped. Reminding yourself and showing yourself that past evidence of how you were in the past and how you can get through it again.
How would your journey have been different if you would have had this book prior to starting your therapy practice?
Oh, I love that question. I would have saved myself a lot of money.
What did you spend money on?
Just things that, again, I thought I had to have, or needed to have, or should have, like investing in copywriters too early on in my business. Investing in really nice branding too early on in my business. I say, if youāre going to start a business, just get it started. Donāt make everything perfect. Save your money for a little bit later. Once you feel like you have your target audience, youāre bringing income into your business, you really feel secure and confident, then start to invest in that stuff.
Just do it scrappy in the beginning, piece it together. Everyone has to start somewhere. There is some quote out there. I canāt remember it, Iām going to botch it. But itās like, if youāre not embarrassed by your early beginnings, you started way too late. Yeah, it would have saved me a lot of money. I just wish this book was around back then, it would have saved me.
Hereās the other thing too, it would have made things easier, but I think sometimes we have to learn on our own. I think we have to learn through our ā I donāt like to call it mistakes, but I think we need to trip and fall a little bit. I think we are ready to receive messages at different times, so this book may have been presented to me back then and I would have thought, āOh, I donāt need this right now. Iāve got it all together.ā But today if this book would have been given to me, I would have said, āOh, I need this today.ā
Well, Iām glad that the book wasnāt there for you, because now youāve written it.
Yeah.
And itās a great resource for everyone else. The book is available now on Amazon and itās called Thinking Like a Boss: Uncover and Overcome the Lies Holding you Back From Success. You can swipe up on your phone and the link is in our show notes right there on your phone, or you can go to our website and you can find it there, the link to amazon. So Kate, I love, love, love this book. I love your heart.
Thank you.
Itās fun getting to know you and how youāre making a difference in the world, so thank you for writing this book.
Thank you so much. This is a great conversation.

Authenticity is when a personās actions are aligned with their beliefs and desires. By being authentic, we can create more trusting and meaningful relationships. Although, with external pressures of our society and the media, it is difficult to stay true to yourself. It is even more difficult to be authentic online.
Being authentic online is not as easy as taking selfies, sharing articles, heart-felt quotes or having a professional profile taken. This is because the online persona can be completely different from the person you meet in person.

67: Gary Vaynerchuk Says Regrets Will Scare You Shitless
Our special guest today is best known for his work in digital marketing and social media as the chairman of New York-based communications company, VaynerX, and as CEO of VaynerX subsidiary, VaynerMedia.Please sit back and relax while listening to Gary Vaynerchuk. In this episode, weāll be moved and inspired on how he differentiates men and women of influence.
Embrace your Differences
Being influential can sometimes be natural or forced. It can be forced simply because people are expecting you to step up or someone is watching you. The influence that comes out naturally and willingly will be determined in the ability to adjust to individual differences. As human beings, we all have a fair shot on being influential.
Gary stated his point of view on influence by saying:
(3:03)āMy viewpoints on women are exactly the same as my viewpoint with some men. Theyāre human beings that ran the world. Iām intrigued by the notion of the conversation of anything men, women, minorities, to me I think itās pretty binary , I think itās humans versus other animals so you know obviously I understand the differences I think thereās an unbelievable amount of advantages for all sexes, all races to me Iām optimistic about that.
Advantage of being different
Sometimes we are led by fear and lack of self-confidence to embrace our differences, so we shy away from being influential. We fail to realize that what makes us different can make us shine. We just donāt recognize it.
(3:42) āEmbrace your differences because theyāre your advantages. I donāt ever have a great answer for other than I think thereās a lot of advantages to being a woman and that you should figure those out and execute against that.ā
Character matters
In life, we face different people and obstacles, but we must never let go of our values and character. They are essential foundations to the kind of influence we will have.
Gary V. clearly stated
(4:23) āI donāt think a lot of people think about influence, I think itās natural, thereās a lot of words for it, charisma, popularity to me the thing that Iām surprised by is how many people donāt realize that your interpersonal skill set is probably the biggest variable to your happiness and success in life. One of the things I spend a lot of time thinking about is how incredibly naive it is to not be kind, to not be empathetic to not be grateful.ā
Let history be your teacher
You donāt need to experience something to be good at it, sometimes what others did right or wrong can be your ticket to a better future or business that them.
(5:43) āIām a very big fan of looking at history like all the answers have been in front of your face the whole time there are literally, very few people in the history of time that have created meaningful businesses and lasted a decade. So what I would tell people are instead of thinking youāre going to be the once in a generation person that box the trends of how much time and effort and smarts and hard work it takes to being successful Why donāt you look at the 20 plus years that took Amazon to get here and start realizing that it will take a lot of hard work and a lot of time.ā

In this episode we have a very special guest is none other than Kim Kiyosaki. She is an Internationally renowned speaker, best-selling author of āRich Womanā and āGood Deal, Bad Dealā, Radio Show Host, Entrepreneur and Real Estate Investor. She is also the founder of the Rich Woman organisation. Kim realised early on in her career that she didnāt want to be an employee. In search of something more, she worked to develop her skills and made her first real estate purchase. She now controls millions of dollars of investment property and is committed to helping women achieve financial freedom through investing and taking control of their financial futures.
Rich woman book
Kim Kiyosaki wrote the book entitled āRich Womanā. Here she shared the inspiration behind the birth of the book:
(3:45)The reason Genecia I wrote Rich Woman was because Robert and I, we travel the world teaching the Rich Dad philosophy taking two big groups and I will get up on stage and I will speak to the women for just a few minutes and at every event whether it's Singapore or we're London, Tokyo, Johannesburg wherever it was at the end of the event Iād always be surrounded by women and they had the same questions and the same issues and the biggest thing I realized is there's a huge huge huge demand for women to be educated about money and actually,we women, not only have we not been expected to know much about money but weāve actually been taught to depend upon somebody else for our financial well-being.
Financial Literacy
Financial independence is not based on gender. It happens through education. This is Kimās encouragement for women to be financially secured:
(4:52)So my whole message is we need to be in control of our finances we need to step-up and be financially literate and ideally it's up to each one of us to be financially secured
(5:07)Nobodyās gonna do that for us
(5:09)No financial advisor no financial planner it's up to us. And it's not rocket science anybody can do it but it takes time and it takes education
She added that to be financially stable requires a process:
(6:17)Actually starting to take control of your finances starts very simple. You start small and take baby steps we donāt go for the big deals we stick with the small deals. And the most important thing is that understand thereās no secret sauce, thereās no magic pill
(6:49)Itās a process and itās a process of education, itās a process of experience but itās not difficult.
(06:58)itās just a matter of committing
Risk taking in Business
You donāt have to have it all figured out to start a business. Oftentimes you donāt have anything but risk. Hereās how Kim started from nothing:
(7:41)I started with nothing and Iām gonna tell you that the best thing of all is that I didnāt have the money, Robert and I did not have the money.
(8:10)Probably for the first 10-12 real estate deals I did, I did not have the money now what that forces you to do is get very very very creative
For Kim, she chose real estate as an avenue to invest:
(8:22)Once you see the property or whatever investment it is youāre interested in. Once you see it , and touch it and feel it then put your mind to work on how can I now get the money, how can I create the money in order to get the investment.
(9:54)What you want to do is create positive cash flow. My investment of choice is real estate thereās many other ways to gather cash flow whatever works for you.
(10:05)But we had 10 thousand dollars a month cash flow from our rental properties. But we only had 3 thousand dollars a month in living expenses. So at that point $10,000 coming in and $3,000 going out we were financially free.
Achieving financial freedom
Financial freedom may seem difficult at first but it is not impossible. As Kim ventured into Real Estate this is what they experienced:
(10:39)Number 1 I did not have to worry about money anymore and number 2 it gave me the luxury to ask myself what I really want to do with my life. So itās all about financial freedom.
(10:50)Itās about freedom, not so much about the money but freedom is that having choices to live the life you want to live. Thatās what itās about.
Filling up the gap in your cash flow
Thereās no one way to fill the gap, but the key is education and being fearless. Here is Kimās encouragement:
(11:57)I made a ton of mistakes, a ton. I mean thatās the key to success, Iām gonna tell you right now, that the key to success is making mistakes everybody is still afraid of making a mistake, the only way we learn is by making a mistake.
(12:24)The key is you gotta got into action I will always say get some education get some education get some financial education on the asset class you like and then once you have some education start very small take baby steps put a little money down because as soon as you put so many down my interest goes way up.
(12:57)One thing I recommend for women especially is to go out and buy a 1 ounce silver coin. itās been across 20 dollars US today. But what that does because you know got this asset this gold or silver coin all of the sudden your interest will go up will look at the prices of silver every single day, whatās it doing. Why is it up, why is it down? And because youāve just parted with 20 dollars US you become this quasi expert on silver.
(13:31)Iām a big believer in youāve gotta put some money down, get into the game and then thatās where the real learning happens. You gotta go out and do the real thing.
Raising kids and being married while building your wealth
Your family, most importantly your kids should not be a reason for you not to seek for financial stability. Although Kim and Robert donāt have kids, she shared a very good example here:
(14:09)Robert and I do not have kids, really by choice.
(14:19)But my girlfriends for example Lisa Lannon, sheās a Rich Dad advisor, she and her husband Josh, they have very successful businesses they have 2 kids they involve their kids in their business, they involve their kids in their investing so when they go out and lock at a property they bring the children along so they educate the kids as well as educate themselves. So for women, especially with the internet thereās so much opportunity offer in the internet for business and things like that I think the parent of course can be the best teacher. So why not include the kids. It amazes me how young kids get interested in money. They know about money. When their very very young. So why not educate them while your educating yourself.
(15:14)I donāt think it has to be one or the other. I think you can do it together.
(15:21)and same with the relationship same with couples Iām not advocating for the woman to go out there sheās married and she has a life partner then she goes out there and do this all by herself and separate from her spouse this is ideally investing itās something you want to do together as a couple because you grow together you learn together.
Invest in yourselfBeing a woman is not an excuse to remain financially dependent on someone else. Be encouraged with Kimās words:
(20:00)Most important investment is to invest in yourself and to invest in your education. And for me, itās about your financial education.
(20:12)At some point you gotta put yourself first. As a woman we tend to put everybody else first, we put our husbands, our family, our kids, everybody else first . There comes a time you gotta say āhey! I gotta put myself firstā
(21:05)Oftentimes, too many of us women find ourselves in a financial crisis and theyāre not educated about money. They have no idea.
(21:27)Especially if you are a mom, I think you owe it to yourself to get financially educated to take care of your kids in case something happens.
(21:53)When people say āIāll try to get thereā āIāll try to be thereā āIāll try to make itā If youāre saying Iāll try, youāre already saying āIām not gonna do itā . Cause try doesnāt even exist.
(22:22)So just be honest with yourself
The secret of Success
Thereās no such thing as a secret to success, according to Kim itās all about personal development and letting go of fear:
(28:07)Well thereās really no secret except we work on ourselves we work on this because this is what holds us back the fear the doubt the all of the things that get in our way thatās what holds us back from success.
(28:29)For somebody who is just starting out. If youāre just starting out in investment, in real estate, in a business, itās scary because itās an unknown. You havenāt done this before we got this horrible fear of making mistakes. So when we come up against obstacles and things like that oftentimes this is the biggest obstacle. So if we can keep clearing our thoughts, our beliefs, our ideas especially around money, that can free us up to move forward with a lot of energy.
Women Empowerment
This is the perfect moment for women to stand out and stand up. Gone are the days of taking the back seat. Here is Kimās call to all women:
(38:11)For women right now Iām saying women we need to go for it the world is really messed up right now itās messed up financially, economically, morally, ethically and I think itās up to the women to turn things around because we deal with different energy, we deal with different spirit we bring a whole different personality to the world.
38:42-39:05 Right now itās up to women to stand up to start being role models start being leaders in their families in their communities in their cities in their countries and thatās more why I speak or why I educate itās not just about you getting financial security itās really about women stepping up in taking leadership roles and really changing the world.
Transformation
Financial situations that hinder us from being secure can only be changed with real transformation. Here is Kimās explanation based on Neuroscience:
(39:51)If youāre in that situation you gotta ask yourself if I keep doing what Iām doing every single day am I gonna get the outcome I want?
(40:10) If they keep doing what theyāre doing is that gonna change that situation or not and if itās not then they have to ask themselves what do I need to do in order to change it? So, for real change to happen, real transformation to happen it's a four step project, a four step process. One, you gotta get information. Two, you gotta take action so if somebodyās in that situation and theyāre not doing anything different nothingās gonna change so you got to take action thatās different. the 3rd step is whatās called feedback so for every action we take, every single action we take thereās feedback.
(41:28)The fourth step is called incubation where you take time being yourself and really incorporate what youāve learned into your body of knowledge.

Letās welcome, Joanne Lee. She has experience as a Sales Director with a demonstrated history of working in the cosmetics industry. Skilled in Management, Sales, Business Development, Leadership, Event Management and Marketing. Strong sales professional with a Bachelor of Arts from National University of Singapore.
Hard Work Always Win
For 14 years of my life, I have been staying at home taking care of my three children, and now they are already teenagers.
(3:47-3:57) āWhen I started my business, I was very egoistic to quickly try to catch back time, to set up my business and quickly get it successful.ā
Negative Mindset Never Wins
(4:17-4:37) āI do not know how to manage my business, that;ās why I landed myself in debt. I was very unsure what I was supposed to be doing, I was desperate. Iām also going round in circles trying to find solutions to the problem. Unfortunately I was not able to, so I went to a state of depression.ā
(5:17) āI stepped up and went to the Internet to try to find someone, somehow that could actually give me a solution, to tell me what to do and bring me from being five figure death to being death free.ā
Focus on the Solution
I was going round and round circles trying to find a solution
(6:46-7:05) āI told myself that I need to find a mentor, someone to help me, a platform or a community that can really know how to teach people, how to build a business and earn money, so I went on a journey to look for the solution.ā
Embrace the Success
The way I do my business, previously and now how I do my business is totally so different, Iām able to see my results
(7:40-7:53) āI have 10x my financial independence. Iām now death free, I am happy to say that Iāve been through that, Iāve overcome it, Iām happy to share and Inspire more women to help them.ā
Take the Chance
(8:11 -8:20) āI listen to the advice, I took actions, I took massive action, and I choose to take a step forward, live a faith. I just believe and trust the system.ā
Find yourself a mentor, someone who really means what they do, and show you exactly how the different steps you can take to help you with your business.
(8:53) You must have a good platform, a platform that will allow you to not only help you to create business, but also leverage on others to help you to get more results in your business.
(9:16-9:37) āHave an open mindset and Invest in yourself. You really need to invest to have a mindset that is open and think that you really need to invest in yourself, so you can invest in your business and create that successful business youāve always wanted.ā

EP 61: Charlotte Mizuki You Are That Girl Who's Ready to Speak Up for what you Believe And To Play Big because the world has enough women who are playing small afraid to rock the boat, to speak up, to shine.
Meet Charlotte Mizuki, Founder of LifeSparks and Creator of TEMPOfiit. She is also a partner & affiliate of Soul Rich Woman. She was a senior management accountant in the shipping industry for the past 12 years before she decided to pursue her passion full-time in 2018. She shared on stage at the recent Rich Woman Masterclass 2019 by Success Resources her untold story:āā
"I was at the highest peak of my life in the year 2012 when I lost everything overnight, my 10 yrs marriage, my savings, promising accounting career & I was heavily in debts.ā To salvage the marriage, I actually went on a 20 kg weight loss journey, still, he left me for another woman because I couldn't bear him a baby! I was devastated...ā
Picking myself up, I decided to take charge of my own life, Which inspired me to become a fitness coach and set up LifeSparks in the year 2012 helping more women looking for a better version of themselves through fitness, wellness & health, not for anyone else but HERSELF!ā"
To empower more girls to step up, Charlotte also started her own podcast in 2019 - You are that Girl! In her podcast, she shared how she went from a 9-5 employee to a 6-figure business owner having 11 multiple sources of income and how you can kick the frustration, struggle and limiting belief and truly believe you deserve and can design a life you love!
She believes this show is for you - You are that girl who needs to get moving, keep dreaming, and rebuild confidence.
Itās Good To Be Different
(3:36-3:55)What I see in the industry right now they are all focusing on just teaching. They are not breaking through what else they can do to be able to expand their capability, their skill. To explore the possibility of online.
(4:41- 4:49) āI want to be different and I see that, if I continue to do what everybody else is doing then Iāll be of no different to them.
Gain Some Knowledge
(5:06- 5:20)Why are they willing to pay higher value? To engage you to become their coach I see that in order to do that I need to learn from someone else, I need to learn from causes, that are not in the fitness industry.
(5:25-5:36) It is not just getting certification after certification in the same industry, itās about going out there and learned about how exactly youāre going to get your bread out there, how exactly you going to get your business out there and expand it out in a possible wayā
Experience is the Key to Transform
I used to be a management accountant for 20 years, helping the CEO, CFO. To analyze the customerās data. Iām able to tell them the reason why the customers are not buying from us and who are our top customers that we would really focus on and add value to them.
(7:11-7:20) āThis is the key reason why it sets me thinking, I need to have a backup plan, I need to start doing it now, that I know this is going to come.ā
Focus On Your Big Goal
When I went through I felt rather miserable because as a coach, you will have your peers. You have a fellow coach who is mongering around you.
(9:42-9:54) ā I started to think big, I want to be different..but because we need to focus on the big goal. I want to do something for myself, I want to do something for my business and I want to fulfill a dream.ā
(12:10-12:16) āMaybe I choose to be successful, that's why I have lost all the friendship, I have lost all the followers.ā
(13:28-13:39) ā I think we all need to come up with a firm decision, what is it that we stand for and how much effort that I want to make my dream come trueā
Donāt Listen to Noises
(15:06-15:10) āIgnore the noises that are around you. It could be your closest family.ā
The older people will not understand why we would take so much to give up our well-paid job to go and chase our dream.
(15:29-15:34) āItās never just a dream, itās something that I knew that deep down in my heart that this is something for me.ā
Fill What to Fulfill
If you are hungry for money and thinking by doing the 9-5 work by teaching every single class, you might be wrong there is something more for you.
(16:53-16:58) āInvest in yourself, upgrade in things that you have never attempt to upgradeā
Know Exactly Who You Are
(17:44-17:47) āThink about who you are, what are you known for?ā
Years ago I was confused. I do not know who I am. Am I just an Instructor? Am I just a 9-5 worker, Am I just a Business owner?
Find a mentor, find someone that can show you how to do it, and how to get there fast.
Think about going online
Key Takeaways:
Do not be afraid to make changes.
Use Your Experience.
Keep Dreaming.
Focus on what you have started.
Invest in yourself.

CEO and Founder
If you ask Melinda Garvey what her big dream is, you will probably hear her say: āI want to brainwash women!ā Now, donāt be alarmed. She just sees this as the fastest way to ensure that ALL women know their worth, have a tribe of other women supporting them and can see their own path to success through access to the Manolos of women that came before them.
āItās really all about creating a mindset of abundance, rather than scarcity,ā Melinda explains. āThere are millions of non-celeb, non-corporate titan women who are successful. We just simply donāt ever hear their stories, so we believe that the landscape is barren. On The Dot is on a mission to change that by giving access to successful women and their stories every day.ā
It all started in a little Texas town called Austin. One day in 2002, Melinda decided (after one too many glasses of wine) to use her media background to empower, engage and inspire the women of Austin by launching Austin Woman Magazine. Now in its 16th year and hailed as the go-to resource for women looking to move ahead and build a legacy, Austin Woman is going strongā¦
But what about women around the globe? āWhen I heard that one of the very top reasons women were not achieving equal success was the lack of access to relatable role models,ā Melinda continues, āI just got mad.ā And we donāt like to make Melinda mad, or apparently feed her too many glasses of wine, because then she just does something crazyā¦like start another company.
And so, On The Dot was born, with little more than a deep passion for championing women, an expertise in storytelling and the moxie to believe that On The Dot could change the conversation about womenās advancement. What if, every morning, millions of women around the world heard a story about a successful, relatable role model? How would our mindset change if we could SEE it and then know that we, too could BE it? Letās do this!
When not on her soapbox, you can find Melinda and her Kiwi husband and business partner, Kip, at a soccer game or swim meet cheering on their 11 year old feminist son, Beckom. Other than thatāyou guessed itāyou can find her surrounded by a gaggle of women drinking wine, of course!
Oh, and in case youāre still reading, Melinda has also won a few awards for being such a badass:

FWEP00057 Genecia Alluora
Hence, we are live. Genecia, welcome! So my name is Alexandra and today you are my guest for I Am Magazine and Iām very thrilled and grateful to have you here with me and to be able to interview you for our next issue, that is the business issue coming out in March. Welcome Genecia.
Recognizing your big WHY?
We all want to do something that is in line with our passion, something that we can manage and hold our time properly and something that can also help people around us but how can we do that when we donāt recognize our purpose first? Hereās the tips that Genecia said:
(02:12 - 02:18) I think the first thing you need to do is recognize your big why. Why is it? What you do? And Why you do it?
(03:15 - 03:26) In this life, I have been taught resilience and many times in school I was being bullied because when you are not rich, the rich kids in school will bully you.
(05:21 - 05:27) My why is my family, to take care of my family, my mom, my dad, and my brother through my working years.
(05:29 - 05:33) I built up my self esteem along the way.
Learning an essential lesson
In life we have hardships and thatās exactly the fuel that can push us to be the best version of ourselves, this is what happened to Genecia:
(05:57 - 06:04) In 2004 I actually joined a modelling competition and I came in top 20 out of 1000 girls.
(06:07 - 06:23) When the pageant then came knocking I really wasnāt prepared because public speaking, you need to do like department and stuff. Even though I have some form of experience, you know, if you wanna join something, you want to win, right? You wanna do really well.
(06:24 - 06:35) So I went to tap into my compartment called the compartment of resourcefulness where I went knocking on doors asking for sponsorships.
(06:46 - 06:55) That was how I eventually found a sponsor who sponsored me to do public speaking even before I joined the pageants and her name was Rebecca.
(07:06 - 07:14) She gave me dvdās and cdās and books, notes, and everything that she has got.
(07:15 - 07:17) And then she asked me for my bag.
(07:20 - 07:28) She reached into the bag and she opened my wallet, she took out 60 dollars and emptied the rest of the coins.
(07:32 - 07:40) I was like, staring at her like āRebecca, why are you taking my money? Thatās the rest of my pocket allowance for the rest of the month, you know?ā
(07:41 - 07:50) And sheās like āGenecia, I know Iām sponsoring you, but I need to teach you the value of exchange. The power of value.ā
(07:51 - 08:09) Even though this is for you but nothing is free. Whatever youāve got, that amount will allow you and teach you to be committed to read through the notes, to look through the dvdās and whatever Iāve given you. If I had given you completely free you will not treasure what I provided for you.
(08:16 - 08:19) So looking back, I thank God that it happened.
(08:24 - 08:38) Guess what? I won Ms. Singapore in 2006 and I was Ms. Singapore International and later on in 2011, I won again as Ms. Singapore Chinese Cosmos and both times I represent Singapore and Iām really very proud of it.
(08:39 - 08:44) So all this journey was amazing and I never gave up.
3 Things learnt in Beauty Pageants
They say experience is the best teacher. Genecia have learned so many things in life specifically in joining beauty pageants:
(09:18 - 09:20) The first thing I learned was teamwork.
(09:37 - 09:47) The second thing I learned was how to present my platform. Which is how to be consistent, to show, to speak about who I am and share what I believed in.
(09:57 - 10:08) The third thing I learned was learning how to communicate consistently in the way that is authentic
(10:24 - 10:39) So all these things led into being an image consultant, helping CEOs and politicians because itās all about personal branding, itās all about being align in your body language, the way you are as a person
The struggle is real
Honestly, almost everyone of us struggle to know who we really wanted to be. Genecia was not exempted to that struggle but she found someone who guided her through that struggle. Letās see what she said:
(11:18 - 11:23) In 2012, I struggled for an entire year thinking about what I want to do with the rest of my life.
(11:24 - 11:30) And I found someone, a mentor, who was willing to teach me and guide me how to do the next step.
(11:31 - 11:38) So in 2013 I went online and I made a hundred thousand dollars in 3 months and then a million dollars within a year
(11:39 - 11:50) And that completely changed my life because Iāve never made a million dollars and when you do consultancy work itās usually by power and usually by project basis
(11:59 - 12:02) I make my first pot of gold
Zero Business Knowledge
Not all of us know how to do business. If you know how then good for you, but if you donāt, what exactly will you do to reach your way to the top? This is what Genecia had to share:
(12:06 - 12:16) Me and my partners, we started a cafe retail chain and thatās how I went into retail. Iām a medical student, I graduated as an occupational therapist
(12:17 - 12:24) I have zero retail knowledge, like, zero business knowledge. I mean, other than the things I already know
(12:25 - 12:29) So to do that cafe retail chain I have to learn everything from scratch.
(12:40 - 12:47) So we grew from one outlet, we have 18 franchises and licensees and we have 7 outlets in three countries.
(12:54 - 13:05) That really changed my life because I was based, I went to Indonesia and was based there. I was working with the franchisee and that really opened up my mind to the world of business.
(13:11 - 13:16) Thatās how I learned to duplicate business, how I learned how to grow a business and scale a business beyond the shores.
Finding your real purpose
Despite everything that we have, are we really on our path that is paved for us? Here is what Genecia has to say:
(13:26 - 13:45) All these things that we did kind of like the foundations of me building Soul Rich Woman because in 2014, 2015, I was feeling a bit empty because even though I have money, I have fame, I have everything that I want to, a business, but I just felt that something was missing.
(13:47 - 13:49) I just felt that my calling was greater than that.
(13:55 - 14:00) When I transitioned to a cafe business, Iāve been, I just didnāt felt balanced in the things I was doing.
(14:01 - 14:12) Eventually I turned on the webcam, I turn on my webinar and I was doing this webinar thingy on every single wednesday. Itās called āWebinar Wednesdayā
(14:19 - 14:22) So in the beginning I have zero viewers.
(14:27 - 14:40) So from scratch zero to the first ten, the first 100, the first 1000. So that journey taught me how to build a community, my community group.
(14:42 - 14:55) And back then it was called The Impossible Academy then in 2015 we rebranded to Soul Rich Woman because I just felt that, you know as a woman, being rich is not everything.
Establishing Soul Rich Woman
(14:59 - 15:04) In order for you to make money, your soul has got to be aligned, got to be aligned, mind, body and soul.
(15:15 - 15:29) We established Soul Rich Woman and weāve been helping women to go from offline to online the past five years and we only do one thing which is to help women to get their voices heard and shine
(15:40 - 16:00) I will say itās not easy, an easy journey. Because all these things where, you know, we have to go through ups and downs and it's fun but the biggest impact that I got was if we can impact a womanās life the entire community will benefit.
Transformation from being trampled to being confident
As a human, rising from being trampled on will never be easy but letās hear what Genecia has to say about this:
(17:10 - 17:18) Having a strong support group is important so Iāve got some very good buddies who were there with me. And of course, my mother has always been my pillar of strength and support
(17:22 - 17:30) After all the things that have happened when you look back you know that one thing for sure that she has always been there because blood is always thicker than water.
Stand on mentoring women outside Asia
(18:00 - 18:06) We have this value letter that we help women to take a step in small agreements with us.
(18:07 - 18:11) So because we are in Southeast Asia the earning capacity of Women in Southeast Asia is not high
(18:24 - 18:29) So what we do is that we have a membership program at only 12 dollars a month and you can join us for 99 dollars a year.
(18:30 - 18:34) And basically we have women from, globally and part of the membership as well
(18:36 - 18:42) We provide two videos a month and two master classes a month where itās actionable to help women get started.
(19:17 - 19:20) So we get women to get started with our membership program.
(19:24 - 19:36) If you want to move faster, you go to the next level, you buy our digital product. It will be just a two days Soul Rich Woman blueprint workshop. We have two versions of that, we have the in-person workshop and we have the online workshop.
Reason of the Soul Rich Woman blueprint (The Magic Wand)
(20:59 - 21:06) If you have the magic wand in your own hands, first, a man is not a financial plan.
(21:07 - 21:18) Two, with the magic wand in your hand, you could do wonders in your life, to transform your business and your life at anywhere, at any place, at any time.
(21:18 - 21:28) Not even relying on a fairy god mother because you are the fairy godmother, right? So by knowing this power that is in your hand, by owning this power.
(22:18 - 22:29) So we want to provide the opportunity for women to look beyond their own circumstances, to step out of their comfort zone, go beyond and achieve the dreams that they have always truly wanted to achieve.
Biggest challenge as a businesswoman
(23:31 - 23:35) One of my biggest challenges was because Iām a beauty queen.
(23:39 - 23:43) When you are beautiful people judge you and when youāre capable, people think youāre bossy.
(23:46 - 23:52) The whole piece that you have everything and then people judge you for the way you are
(24:05 - 24:15) When you have that kind of personal brand thatās really strong as a beauty queen, it really kind of, itās a good and bad thing when youāre transitting to the next level of your life.
(25:39 - 25:48) Donāt let other people take you down because nobody can put us down only if you give them permission to do so.
Lifeās inspiration
We have someone that inspires us to do great in life. Let us found out whoās the inspiration of Genecia:
(26:27 - 26:33) For me, a few people inspire me. I think the first one is my mom. I canāt say that enough.
(27:05 - 27:14) The other person I believe that has inspired me is also, I would say, Kim Kiyosaki, sheās the queen of cash flow.
(27:18 - 27:24) She taught me the concept of financial freedom.
Best advice on time management as a businesswoman
(29:30 - 29:32) I think, no. 1 you need to know your vision.
(29:33 - 29:35) Because without vision a man will perish.
(29:42 - 29:46) No. 2 is really always delegate, delegate, delegate.
(30:46 - 30:52) These are some of the things that I do, I delegate, I wake up, and then I look at my team, I look at what they are doing.
(33:20 - 33:27) I think the most important thing is the sky's the limit, thereās no storm that you canāt conquer.
Key Takeaways:
1. Trials will eventually polish you and will make you resilient
2. Learn the value of what you have now
3. Your past does not dictate your future
4. Having a strong support group is important to never lose track of the future
5. To really own your business is to have the power in your hands to manage it

FWEP00056 David Trotter
Today we have a really special guest with us, his name is David Trotter and he is a transformation coach and author of Empowered to Rise: The Secret to Embracing your True Identity and Recovering your Superpowers and Bringing Inspiration to the World. Heās also the host of Inspiration Rising, a podcast dedicated to inspiring women and the men who support them to rise up in life, love, and leadership. Through his Launch your Life online course and coaching experience he helps women and men overcome painful life transitions and develop a workable plan to make lasting changes. He has over 25 years of experience.
The onset of burnout
Sometimes, even if we are passionate with what we do. We can still be distracted and can feel burdened if we donāt have the right foundation. Hereās what David said:
(04:16 - 04:22) Well, in the United States, thereās a huge desire for churches to grow to impact more people.
(04:25 - 04:48) If I as an individual am trying to fill what I would almost call a black hole inside of me through accomplishments and doing it out of a motive thatās trying to fill me up rather than doing it out of a motive of an overflow of generosity and serving others.
(05:22 - 05:50) For me, even as a pastor I was not taking care of myself, I wasnāt taking care of my soul, I wasnāt providing myself with mental health, physical exercise, relational connectedness. I was really flowing from more of a place of drivenness trying to perform to get people to approve of me rather than coming from a place of a solid foundation.
(05:59 - 06:14) And when I get into a place like that, itās not healthy for me and itās not healthy for most people and so I found myself in a just an overwhelmed, burned out place, I was disconnected from my wife, I wasnāt enjoying my kids and I hit a rock bottom.
The awareness to changeLifeās circumstances often push us to make decisions that oftentimes lead us to a messed up place, this is what happened to David: (07:02 - 07:10) Some people move toward overeating, some people move toward gambling, alcohol, drugs these are all coping mechanisms, right? In order to make us feel better in those moments
(07:11 - 07:17) For me, I actually chose to have a relationship with a woman other than my wife.
(07:30 - 07:33) Kinda to jump out of the plane so to speak rather than having to figure out a way to land the plane.
(07:36 ā 07:41) The plane was the vision that I had for my life, for the church and instead what I did was I bailed.
(07:45 ā 07:50) And rather than getting the help that I needed, I said, I just want to start over with my life, a fresh start.
(07:58 - 08:07) The woman I ended up connecting with, she ended up leaving me after about a month and I found myself unable to function in life.
(08:12 ā 08:32) I ended up checking myself into a mental hospital here in the United States for 3 days in order to get my head straight and clear. And it took a couple of weeks after that for me to come out of a dark place where Iāll be honest with you, I wanted to end my life.
(08:34 ā 08:46) I had thrown away all my education because it was in ministry. I have thrown away my career because once you do something like that people donāt trust you. I had thrown away my marriage and the connection with my kids.
(09:00 ā 09:19) After a couple of weeks, something jolted within me and I started to come to my senses. I reached out to my wife and deeply apologized and sought forgiveness. I didnāt seek to come back with her, I just took responsibility for my inappropriate decisions.
The inspiration to be an inspirationYou can only be an inspiration to others and rise above your circumstances if you know your true identity.
(09:54 - 10:13) If we donāt get help when weāre feeling overwhelmed and we turn to coping mechanisms or ways of trying to make ourselves feel better rather than dealing with the actual problems we end up making some decisions that hurt ourselves and hurt other people.
(10:18 ā 10:36) I donāt want other people to make choices out of desperation. I want to help women and the men who support them get the help they need before they make a decision like that and thatās what Iām all about.
(11:09 ā 11:41) The key is when we embrace our true identity, weāre coming from a place of health. So, I believe that your true identity is that you are inspired, you are already inspired itās not a matter of a feeling, itās a matter of your identity, the word inspire means to be divinely breathed into, that there is a divine breath inside of you. And because you have a divine breath and youāve been created by the divine whatever you call that divine.
(11:50 - 12:11) Because you have been created by the divine, you are already inspired. You are already enough. You donāt have to do or be anything else to be enough, just as you are. Thatās part of your identity. And you are already loved, you donāt have to do or be anything else to be loved, why? Because the divine loves you.
(12:13 ā 12:16) Once we embrace that identity, thatās our true identity.
(14:25 ā 14:45) If you have a solid foundation, then you can rise up, then you can be propelled but if Iām always trying to prove myself based on where I lived, the car I drive, the clothes that I wear, how fancy my nails are, my education, the size of my bank account, none of that matters when it comes to your true identity.
Going to the next levelIt takes courage to come out of darkness into the light. This is what David had to share:(15:59 - 16:14) What do I want to see? What do I want to do? In terms of that next level of my life. Itās not about goals, itās about a mental picture of my preferable future. Itās a mental picture of what I want to see, what I prefer to see in the world in the future.
(16:23 ā 16:26) Iām not necessarily thinking my whole life because so many things can change
(17:30 ā 17:35) So the first thing that somebodyās got to do is theyāve got to capture a vision for what they want to accomplish.
3 places where negativity comes fromWe all have myths that we believe in that cripple us and hinder us to pursue our dreams. Hereās what David had to say:
(19:01 ā 19:05) The first one is what I call our home of origin, your family.
(19:15 ā 19:34) Our families do the best they can with the skills they have but they have certain expectations of us. Certain ways of operating and those expectations, those certain values, the ways of operating can either propel us or they can limit us.
(20:51- 21:01) When somebodyās getting ready to take their lives to the next level, theyāve got to look at their home of origin and say. What are those things that maybe I picked up on that are not helpful for me.
(21:02 ā 21:05) The second is what I call the playground.
(21:35 ā 21:47) There are things that happen to us early in life that stick to our minds and our hearts and we get made fun of in ways that go in one ear and out the other.
(22:01 ā 22:12) Words do hurt you, they hurt a lot, they hurt really bad and those can be limiting factors and beliefs that hold us back and we believe those myths.
(22:23 ā 22:30) The third way that we get held back and have myths that come into our lives is the culture in general.
(22:38 - 23:04) Culture is designed specifically our capitalistic marketing-oriented culture is designed to tell you, you will not be an amazing woman if you donāt have this type of make-up you will not be a true businesswoman if you donāt have this certain outfit or you donāt have this certain car or you donāt live in a certain place.
(25:55 - 26:00) I want to make a difference on a day to day, week to week basis. So I said, I was thinking about starting a podcast.
(26:54 - 27:00) So I started the inspiration rising podcast a year ago January 2019. Weāve had almost a hundred episodes so far.
Favorite F word and what a Soul Rich Woman is
(29: 41 - 29:45) I love my family, I love spending time with them, thatās my favorite thing to do.
(30:05 ā 30:11) My family and my wife really ground me in a way that feels like thereās peace.
When asked what and who a Soul Rich Woman is, this is what David had in mind:
(31:32 ā 31:39) It starts in her soul, it doesnāt start with her pocketbook, it doesnāt start with her bank account, it doesnāt even start with her outward appearance.
(31:44 - 32:04) It starts in the soul that there is confidence in knowing who she is. That she knows that sheās inspired that she knows that sheās enough, that she doesnāt need a man to make her enough. She doesnāt even need girlfriends to make her enough. She is enough, in and of herself and to know that sheās already loved.
(32:53 ā 32:55) Other women want to follow a woman who is a Soul Rich Woman.
Favorite Book
David shared a book that really made an impact on his life as an entrepreneur:
(34:32 - 35:02) Tim Ferris, The 4 Hour Work Week is an extraordinary book. Iām sure itās in all the languages of your listeners. Itās a very well known book and itās all about how you can maximize your life rather than waiting until you are tired to enjoy life. Itās all about maximizing your life now, creating systems of automation so that you can enjoy life now and have financial freedom.
3 things to take your life to the next levelTake your wings and fly! Shine with these 3 tips from David:
(35:51- 36:05) I believe everybody needs 3 things when theyāre going to take their lives to the next level. One is they need a coach, they need somebody that they can look to, to provide them some guidance, motivation, and encouragement.
(36:07 ā 36:10) The second is, they need a workable plan.
(36:22 ā 36:40) And the third is, you need a community that cares about you. People that will cheer you on and love you and care for you, when things are going challenging and also provide you with support and maybe shared resources.
(36:46 - 37:15) And thatās one of the things I love about Soul Rich Woman is, in reality, they get all three. Because they got you, thatās loving them, cheering them on, providing them with resources and other leaders that you have in your organization, theyāre developing a plan cause youāre giving them content and resources on a regular basis and theyāve got a community of people because youāve got so many people that are a part of your organization that they can draw upon those resources.
Key Takeaways:
1. You will succeed once you embrace your true identity.
2. With the help of others, you can prevent being burnt out.
3. Never make decisions using your emotions.
4. Let go of all the negativity and discover your potential.
5. Turn your dreams to reality with a workable plan.

FWEP00054 Lilian Ong
This episode is all about mentorship. This lady is just a client of mine and now has successfully built a women community across Asia and sheās talking about Women of courage Asia. She was a business owner who exited her business after 9 years. She was a stay at home mom and then she wanted to do something which is to go from offline to online so she found Soul Rich Woman.
Learn from someone who wants you to grow.
Mentors are molded to help each individual by attaining their certain goals. Listening to these experienced persons will help us grow and will guide us through their wisdom.
(4:16-04:31) Hello, I am right now with Genecia at East Coast, we are chatting and we are chatting out a very fruitful session so thank you Genecia.
(4:37-05:17) We had so much discussions and plan out and chat out for first quarter 2018 and I have a lot of work to do. Iām very excited because very focused in direction so the 3 things I learned today. I think first things first Itās important to have a road map. Itās important to check out your calendar, work for the year so that you know where you are going. Then the second thing is very important also that you have a mentor.
(05:19-05:59) Because I have done my learning core was very steep when I was running my furnishing business without a mentor. The struggle was like was very real. It takes a long process. I have to do a lot of trial and error. Basically, the learning core is very steep. So with a mentor basically, Genecia has helped to reduce the learning core, shortcut the process. She had been done there, done that. Having here to guide me, along chatting out together with me that was really very valuable.
Grab every opportunity that you may have with the eagerness to learn to be a better version of yourself. Ms. Lilian shared:
(6:03-06:20) Based on my experience without a mentor and now embarking with a new business with a mentor is really totally different. A lot of time is saved and then the third thing was grow and met the mentor and the magic follows.
(9:07-09:33) I want to take this opportunity to thank Genecia. She helped me to see all this, all the experience I have on the very view, wisdom within that you always remind me . I will say that I wanna thank Genecia because thereās like all this experience, knowledge and all that. I will not know how to put them into this whole blueprint if we havenāt met.
(10:20-11:01) So to generate leads and to promote my book and cost so yeah these are the 3 objectives the magic phano is. So just want to come off line and do the sharing on what Iām doing today put peacefully to do this intentionally and really take courage to embark on this journey.
Worrying wonāt make it any better. Dwell in possibility.
Live life with the courage to find your purpose in life. Do not be afraid to be open-minded with new learnings and experiences like Ms. Lilian did in her life.
(12:11-12:25) I think really with the help of a mentor really sharpen the whole process because Iāve been on a journey without a mentor and I can really experience the difference and this business is totally brand new to me because itās really going from offline to online so online business so I am really very thankful to have a mentor to guide me on this.
(13:16-13:26) Less fearful because I know what to do. I can see the whole picture so that takes away a lot of anxieties from me.
(13:43-13:56) It is to live a life with courage, purpose and freedom. And my main objective, for this whole business, my whole purpose for this online business is to awaken the courage in you.

FWEP00053 Genecia Alloura
Accept the challenges so that you can feel the victory in your own time.
Behind every success is a story of hardships, challenges and even breakdowns. In her younger days, Ms. Genecia has to work to support her studies because she knew she wanted more and she deserves more.
(2:00-2:22) My name is Genecia Alloura. Iām from Singapore. Basically I have done a lot in my life. I am the founder of Soul RIch Woman and I run multiple businesses. I have done many things that Iām very proud of and also my vision is to really help more women to be better in their lives.
(02:26-03:00) When I was 14 my dad wasnāt financially, he lost some money through stocks and shares so we were financially very tight so we needed to stop . Money was a problem so I kind of stopped my dream and you know what my mom by then she say why donāt go and try instructor fit and I said No! I donāt want. Why I need to become an instructor fit, Iām not interested thatās not want I want to do but she forced me.
(03:05-03:30) So I didnāt talk to her for 2 weeks. I remember very clearly because itās such a big thing in my life. Imagine telling a teenager hey, you have to work now, you have to support yourself in school. After 13 years of a bit of not too bad life then suddenly you have to work and earn money, earn for a living, Oh my God! Thatās terrible! I was bitter because that was tough.
(03:31-03:57) When I took the certificate then I need to start to teach, right? So thatās how my life was. 5 AM in the morning I need to go to school and then after that in the evening after extra curricular activities, I went to teach so imagine this I reach home in about 11 PM.
Worry about the best way to move forward.
Everybody doesnāt have a perfect life. They can have something that you donāt have but learn to appreciate and love the things you currently have. You will have your time as what happened on Ms. Genecia.
(04:13-04:36) Mentally it was challenging and everybody was changing bags, changing hand phones and they were doing stuff like going shopping, going for movies so I was kind of isolated as well I was on my own. The girls in my class, I was being mocked because I wear the same clothes all the time. Some other girls will see the bra and they will say you have been wearing the same bra, you know.
(05:15-06:01) My heart was closed because I will not be able to trust anybody again and do anything again and person that could speak to me needed to be somebody who has been through worse than me. Yeah because if youāre telling me you havenāt been through life who are you to tell me in what you know so that part I was depressed, I was suicidal not clinically but I was basically crying everyday and I literally wanted to jump out of my window of my home. My mom, she kind of stopped me for doing that.
(06:28-07:06) Thanks to this person who was my customer before because he took my grooming class. First I was an image consultant, right? But he spoke to me. I didnāt want to listen to him also definitely because who are you even though we are friends. Who are you to tell me on how to live my life if you havenāt been there? Only then that he revealed he was bankrupt. He was going through bankruptcy for 11 years. He was bankrupt and in debt at 21. I was like, What? And it turned around and then he became a millionaire and to me that was a story to be reckoned with.
Learning never ends. Have the courage to do things you are afraid of.
When you want more, you must strive more. Learn new skills and knowledge that will help you attain your goals. Embrace changes that will make you better as what Ms. Genecia did.
(07:20-07:44) So I invested time to learn about online business, e-commerce, I learned about marketing. I spent time studying about social media and that was when I stop wasting time for money and that was when I make my money and that was when I and that was when I say, Hey! I can do this! I did it!
(08:07-08:38) Before I joined the pageant, I mean, during school I was bullied. I was been mocked because financially we were not my background was not financially and I had to wear the same clothes. Some people laugh at me, people mocked at me. Materially I was not rich, okay? Some people feed say nasty things about me, gossip about me, back stab me, wherever they can and that left a scar and many wounds in my life.
(09:01-09:50) It was not for them. It was not to win them and it was more like a challenge for myself because during that time I learned to put makeup while on the go, catching up on the bus, sleeping in the bus and then try to change my heels at the same time I look glam when we get out after the car. We literally learn many skills in my pageant days. And winning it is like a gift from God and joining the pageant after winning Ms. Singapore Universe Runner up and then participating in Ms. Singapore International and winning it, opened doors for me to travel the world, to meet friends around the globe and finding new friendships that I never thought possible.
10:36-11:17: One of the things I learned, took the responsibility to love them and accept them for who they are and not to give up on them or give up on myself. I could have just walked away and say Bye, I donāt love you anymore and that could be the life I chose but I told myself, No! I said, Genecia you must be responsible. No more lame blame. No more shame and no more self justification on how your life should be in this manner but rather Are you a woman of humility? Are you a woman of acceptance of love of overflowing faith.
(11:23-11:56) Can you imagine if I teach women how to live their life with purpose, passion and my family sucks because I cannot only live for myself waking up in the morning not knowing that I am in line and in sync with my purpose, with my vision, with my passion. Itās like I needed to in line myself. In the years Iāve taken the responsibility of clearing, forgiving, loving myself? A lot of self work to work on myself worth, my self doubt my fear.
Life is short. Time is fast. Enjoy every moment!
People come and go so savor your moments with your loved ones. Life is short just to be angry and fill your heart with hatred. Learn to let go and accept that no one is perfect. Ms. Genecia shared:
(12:07-12:30) That I finally embraced him for who he is because there are so many things that happened like the blame of why you lost money the last time. So 14 years old, I needed to go out and work. But you know, I have grown up and itās no longer the same situation anymore and my dad also grow older so I tell myself, what for?
(12:32-13:13) Life! I am living my life because of my family and I love them so much. I really love them. I have them in my hand phone everyday I message them because I realize that throughout my life even though I have grown through thick and thin I realize that everybody has left and gone, come and gone. They were the ones who are still there and love me unconditionally and to me having this realization and wisdom, I realize that is so valuable.
(13:15-13:37) But now I understand I will not be where today not for the things and experiences and setbacks that I have gone through. Itās never about the mistakes that I made but itās about the distinctions that I learned and I love my experiences. Maybe for my parents I wish loved them earlier but itās never too late.

FWEP00052 Brendan Yong
In this episode Brendan Yong will share about how to maximize Facebook profits. He is the Lead Consultant of Skill and Marketing to help customers do marketing automation. Today he will share the 3 Secrets to Maximizing Facebook Profits.
Social Media Marketing and WastagesEvery entrepreneur nowadays is doing social media marketing. But not everyone gets the result that they expect. Hereās what Brendan has to say:
(01:34 - 01:40) A lot of people are really doing some form of Facebook marketing or social media marketing or even SEM marketing
(01:42 - 01:44) What is happening is actually you're getting a lot of eyeballs
(02:16 - 02:28) the truth is a lot of things happen along the way and what happens is that, although you might have a lot of eyeballs but not many of them actually take the action of submit or make an inquiry.
(02:31 - 02:32) that is what we call a lost traffic situation
(02:38 - 02:45) So the other thing is once they buy or once they opt-in into your funnels then the other thing is how do you convert them into actual sale
(02:47 - 02:55) This is what we call the drop-off so before they even buy they do not respond to your sales pitch and eventually they drop off
(03:01 - 03:13) Once the customer buy once you don't do anything with them later on Why? Because these customers have value to you and this is what we call the customer life value.
(03:15 - 03:27) You should optimize this customer life value as well because you spend so much money in drawing the eyeballs to your website and through your e-commerce polls and then you're not maximizing the value per customer? I think that's a big waste.
What happens if you don't convert?Here Brendan further explains why there is no conversion despite the many views your Ads might be receiving:
(04:48 - 04:49) You're targeting at a wrong phase of the marketing funnel
(04:51 - 04:55) A marketing funnel typically has 3 stages
(05:07 - 05:18) These stages are called Top of the Funnel or ToFu and MoFu Middle of the Funnel and you have the bottom of the funnel.
(05:24 - 05:32) Bottom of the funnel means that people are already in a decision-making process and they already reached the stage that they are thinking which solution should they buy.
(05:38 - 05:48) The middle of the funnel group, they know about the solution but they may not be in a decision to buy yet because maybe they're short on budget.
(05:51 - 05:58) And the top of the funnel are people who may not even know that they have a need or is not a top priority for them.
(06:52 - 06:56) No wonder that a lot of you may have a lot of traffic but don't actually convert, because the audience is simply not ready
(07:02 - 07:08) It's because your Ads are BoFu Ads but you're getting ToFu leads or MoFu leads
(07:11 - 07:18) To improve your Ad conversion you might need different versions of those advertisements that you do.
(07:21 - 07:30) To appeal to ToFu leads is that you are trying to solve a problem. The Ads in this phase is what we call a problem-related Ad.
(08:50 - 09:00) Now the MoFu Ads you are trying to run ads that is related to debunking all the other alternatives and trying to tell the audience why your product is the more superior solution.
(09:03 - 09:08) And in the BoFu Ads you are looking at, like free trials $20, $50 discounts and all that.
(11:13 - 11:33) By moving the audience that clicked on your different Ads back to another, previous part of the funnel that helps you to narrow down and convert them slowly so that when they are ready to buy they will be thinking of you because you appeal to the right motivation.
3 stages of the customer journeySo here are a few more details from Brendan that will help you understand your customerās journey in order to effectively target them:
(12: 11 - 12:15) The first stage is what you call attract. So in the attract phase we identify the right target market.
(12:24 - 12:34) After that bring them into somewhere that you can capture their information like name, email. So that will be the Top of the funnel kind of ads and middle of the funnel engagement ads.
(12:35 - 12:43) And finally look at how to move them into trial product using your free trial method or using your free consult method.
(14:12 - 14:32) Wastage can happen, if you donāt have these process to capture the middle or final you donāt have enough communication with them once they get into your sales funnel and of course when they actually make an inquiry that donāt immediately turn up into a sale, you donāt follow up with them. So thatās a lot of wastage so that is the second phase.
(14:35 - 14:42) The sell phase is not literally you trying to sell but how do you convert a lead to a sale.
(14:53 - 14:59) Here is where email marketing and videos and YouTube videos will help a lot.
(16: 24 - 16:27) So the first step about maximizing customer value is really to create a āWOWā experience for the customer.
(16:29 - 16:32) When that happens you can achieve 3 Rs.
(16:38 - 16:49) The 3Rs are: REPEAT SALES, REFERRALS and REVIEW AND RATINGS
Key Takeaways:
1. Maximize your sales funnel.
2. Target audience using the correct ads for maximum results.

FWEP00051 Claire Nazar
Today, we have a special guest her name is Claire Nazar, director of Kalco Law and also Lifebuilders. Claire is a very down to earth lady and because of this I want to guest her story out there and share it with you and I hope that you like it.
DIscover your calling and be passionate to achieve it!
Your calling is where you can apply your talents and where you feel you can help on other people. Fulfill your calling outside your comfort zone. Ms. Claire shared:
(01:15-01:44) Yes I had a lot of family time. But I was also struggling with the fact that I didnāt feel fulfilled personally. Yes, none just basically going to job 9 to 5, feed the family but I donāt have a sense of personal achievement and that was when, you know, my husband was saying to me, have you thought about just coming out and starting up your practice in the way that you would like it to be and so I did a bit of soul searching and thatās why I joined Kalco Law LOC so we are 5 directors.
(01:52-02:15) Sheās for the very poor family lawyer even though she does the divorce work but sheās for poor family offices, very very poor family. Sometimes her kids will come over to work, we bring them to work so stuff like that so we have a very family friendly environment and thatās when I started thinking about what I really wanted to do? I mean with my legal expertise in which what I really wanna cover?
(02:16-03:00) I thought about all the mitigation cases I had. They always involved follow ups between directors, company directors and usually they start of as friends. Friends who then say, weāve got a dream, great idea, less pump of money they start a business and the next thing you know they are arguing and suing one another thatās why I come in. So I was thinking instead of damage control, why not prevention? Just as same reason seek passion why education work is simply because I think prevention can help. You can help couples prevent themselves from going the wrong road. Iām sure we can also prevent in the area of business, you know, young start-ups entrepreneurs form going down the wrong road.
Why documents are important?
Documents create a good relationship and will avoid conflicts that may happen in the future. Ms. Claire mentioned why documents are important mostly in business.
(03:31-04:12) Well the very first line of the bed is you got to really know the person you are dealing with. Check out their friends, check out from your business contacts that this is person is trustworthy thatās one thing. And the other thing I must say is more of a no no. Donāt deal with somebody whoās not willing to sign a contract with you, black and white. If they discuss terms of business on how we gonna run things right in the beginning. In my experience is that why I end up defending my clients in court or suing the other side on behalf of my clients is usually because of contract.
(04:42-05:11) So to me is this if a person takes offense in you drafting a contract thatās already a signal, a red flag that should go over and say no, no! Because if you are forthright as a person you shouldnāt have any problems making good on you wordly promise and of course you are entering a business where you are entering into a legal relationship. There should be a proper way for you to exit from the company. Proper way for you to assess how your profits should be split.
(05:53-06:10) A document is important because everything thatās in there is exactly what you agreed. You can check the terms just to be sure. Is this what we have agreed on, if itās not? Then you should talk about it before you signed on the dotted line so that when you sign it you can say this is all we have discussed.
Ms. Claire shared her vision and her belief as she continues to help married couples. Ms. Claire shared:
(07:24-08:02) I would say that thereās no harm in actually going to see a lawyer for consultation and before you see a lawyer for consultations, ask the lawyer or the law firms how much does it cost. Just say, you know, how much the charge. Different law firms charge differently so you can get people who charge you maybe 300 to 500 or base on the lawyersā experience they will charge according to the charge at rate for one hour but I always tell people, look usually if you have an idea on what you want to do for your business you probably donāt need more than 1 hour of lawyersā time.
(09:02-09:38) What happened was that, my client, actually ask me to draft some terms, extended terms and conditions in which I advise and look, you gotta be entering not just one contract you can be entering into several contracts and of course like your own companyās master template so what happened is that, he closed a deal with one client, with one of his customers and his customer referred another customer to him. Now when he sent the extended terms and conditions contract over the first thing that this company said was I want to deal with you because I can see you do things properly.
(09:40-10:05) You are credible because of the fact that your contract, I can see, is well drafted so my client then gave me feedback and said Hey, thanks so much. I know this contract you drafted like a few times over, a few months ago but because he was doing regular business and he was just entering and giving this contract to his clients to sign, this is the first time he had gotten a big deal, closed a big deal.
(10:44-11:12) Get staffing contracts if you gonna have staff then get staffing contract that will be necessary. Also, we need to look at the nature of your business. Are you dealing with a lot of suppliers? Are you a distributor for some product? We need to see what are some contracts that you will need. Now obviously right from the right goal, you make sure that you have a business agreement drafted up between your partners whether shareholders, depending on what kind of company set up or corporate set up you have business entity that you have.
(11:34-11:42) A lot of these disputes can be settled if you have agreed right from the start, in shareholders agreement, in business partnershipās agreement what you are looking for.
(12:46-13:22) If the parties are reasonable and they are able to talk it through then of course, we will get them to sign a settlement agreement because by that time thereās a follow up and you probably will not have had a proper business partnership at the start all you could have but not nothing has changed and parties want more or less so thatās where we would draft up a settlement agreement and show that the parties, they part nicely on whatever agreed terms they had and one of the key things is to make sure your settlement agreement that you keep things confidential.
(14:55-15:37) Thatās always a possibility. Weāll see how that develops but of course my vision in my own personal life is really the same motto as my marriage certification program which is the tag line which is Successful Relationships, Successful lives. I think as you know litigation is usually a break down of relationship and they kind of agree with things so they have to fight it out in court. In our own lives it doesnāt have to be in a marriage situation just even in work or anywhere that you have people you cared about, can we build something successful from there? And then you find that youāre at peace on one another.
(15:51-16:32) A lot of times business failures are also due to a lot of emotional issues like go on relationship break down and I think it goes together. You canāt look at successful life without looking at successful relationships. Thereās no point in being the CEO of your big company and youāve got like 5 failed marriages. I do understand this and itās really heartbreaking. Iām not saying, Iām not not condemning them, Iām just saying that you know when I look at situations like that my heart goes out to them because I tell myself, if only things can be done differently perhaps there will be more skills, perhaps there could have been other ways that could save the marriage.
Love is friendship.
Choose a partner who is good for you and keep choosing that person. Choose to love each other even in the darkest days in your lives. Ms. Claire shared:
(17:06-17:47) I think one would definitely have to say is shared faith. My husband and I we do have shared faith, the same religion and I think that is also statistically proven that when a couple shares the same religious beliefs and even do share activities together in the religious community, it goes a long way in terms of marriage satisfaction so I personally experienced that. The second thing, obviously, you have to have a long term view. Donāt look at the things that irritate you now about your partner and say that this is beyond and Iām gonna walk out of here.
(18:20-18:51) Sometimes it is tough but I think one of the key things is that for us, is that whenever we are very frustrated with one another about something, we may have talked about it already and may not give solution to, is just to learn to take that breather yourself and say that, look, I have to be stronger than this. I gotta be strong not just for my husband and for my children but for myself and so this is where I find that one of the key things, I will say the second point is you need time alone.
(18:54-19:30) You need time alone to reflect. Count your blessings. Keep things in perspective and realize that your husband is not the devil that you think he is. And say that there are some good things you can appreciate and focus there. One of the things that a lot of marriage counsel will say and this Iāve seen, Iāve heard of testimonies where they gotten bickering couples right to say Donāt do anything but just thank each other for everything theyāve done. Even when you wanna bite your tongue and say, thank you very much for making that coffee for me thatās it, do it.
(19:52-20:18) Putting that positivity is so important. If you can just be, you know, just give that little bit of positivity to somebody for the day. Even if it's just a kind word, you know, say it! Donāt hold back. Say, hey thanks, thatās a job well done, just say it. Youāll be surprised when you are more generous with compliments or any of thanks, these are the little things that you can do so thatās the second tip.
Do not lose hope. Just believe!
Never lose hope of doing what you love as advised by Ms. Claire. There will be things and even persons that will help you attain your goals.
(20:39-20:59) Last one is donāt give up hope. There is always resources for you to tend to whenever you are, you know, you find yourself at the right block. Iām amazed by the number of resources I can find, you gonna kindle, Amazon, stuff like that and even connect with people whom you might never dream of connecting with.
(21:17-21:38) I donāt do the counseling myself like I said. I am connected with people I know to social services industry and Iām telling you itās not a stigma to ask for help, you know, because really people think seeing a social worker it just means youāve hit a root bump and maybe you just need one session, just one hour.
(22:59-23:39) What I would say that you know, be thankful for your husband. Even if you might feel like Iām not getting really all the support I can get from him because I know tough women entrepreneurs especially their husbands are not really in the same business with you. Iāve seen cases where women entrepreneurs have husbands who are actually working side by side with them, you know at the same business and they are speaking and they are working together so thatās great. Even theresā challenges, I would say that for women entrepreneurs is just be reminded, your husbands are not perfect. No one is ever gonna be perfect and you married him for good reason.

FWEP00050 Claire Nazar
Today we have a special guest her name is Claire Nazar, director of Kalco Law and also life builders which is an advocacy for marriage, of building successful relationships. I really personally found her interesting because Claire is a very down to earth lady and because of this I want to guest her story out there and share it with you and I hope that you like it.
Only the finest become lawyers.
Ms. Claire set the difference with the lawyers we watched from dramas to the actual practice. She explained what they do mostly when trials are coming.
(01:53-02:29) Iām a lawyer. Iām the director of Kalco Law, LOC. Basically I do commercial law but also I have marriage education business called Lifebuilders.com.sg . Feel free to go to the website to have a look at it. So basically I have been doing marriage certification on the site more of a volunteer basis but only reason is when I have managed to get the master trainer license so I could then be able to train others who are interested in teaching the course which is actually form University of Denver.
(03:20-03:33) I thought I was gonna be one of those gang hole, mitigator or go out there, you know, confront the witnesses and say youāre lying or something like that. Well, of course, in actual practice is very different from what I imagine it to be.
(03:36-03:48) You do have your moments where you do cross examined the witnesses where you get them tongue tied and they are not able to answer the questions. If they say yes then damn then they say no they are also damned, you know you got them.
(03:53-04:25) Those kinds of moments I must say are not very often because I would say 90% of my cases donāt actually see the light of being caught. We prepare all the work until the day of trial and usually on the first day, more often there are things that are not settled so you would have prepared your 100 and 200 questions to cross examine and you never get to answer, ask any of these questions because you know, party settled and obviously as a lawyer , you would want to say cause and you want a more piece of possible outcome so a lot of times is not what you imagine it to be.
The beginning is always the hardest.
It was hard when Ms. Claire started. After she graduated, she chose to get married. Aside from reaching her goals, she has a family that needs to be attended. Good thing she has a very supportive husband who keeps on reminding her about her goals.
(05:04-05:17) I would say, now 17 years in practice, so it wasnāt a very easy start because when I got married, I married before I actually got my professional qualifications.
(05:30-06:04) Yes, it was awesome like a whirlwind romance. After I graduated from law school, I met the man of my life. I decided not to waste time, you know, letās get married and have kids and so I did that before. Right after university degree and when I was about to launch my professional education thatās when I got married as well and then I also had a kid 1 year later so thatās how I started practice with 1 and a half year old daughter.
(06:27-06:58) I must say it was really very tough. The times that I thought I was losing my mind obviously, you know, and you wandered yourself whether itās all worth it and it was really quite tough jangling, you know, all the different friends and this is why, in terms of husband and wife, communication is very important. My husband needed to understand when I was going to times of stress, when trial is coming up and a lot of times he had to take care of the babies, you know, while Iām working on my cases.
(07:03-07:34) My husband had to take my kids out while I am busy studying for my exams and so that was quite tough but I must say that having good communication in your spouse is very important and I think for me Iām really glad that I have a supportive husband who could see the bigger picture. In fact, many times I feel giving up I said I donāt think I donāt wanna practice anymore and he is always the one telling me, you should, you should. Make fool yourself with gifts that you have and Iām like, you know, youāre so cruel what kind of husband are you, Telling me to grow up there and suffer?
Speak up for those who cannot speak up.
Lawyers are professionals that stands as a representative of their clients to speak up following the legalities of the law. Now, more lawyers are getting interested with marriage and not speaking with divorce. Ms. Claire shared one of her experiences as she had her first client that were planning to get separated but was fixed and still happy together with their marriage.
(08:07-08:39) But I must say that indeed, legal practice has given me a lot of opportunities to meet a lot of people from all sorts of life so this is something I do appreciate. Now coming back to where we got involved with the marriage education is kind of strange because Oh, you're a lawyer. In fact, when my husband and I went to the States to get qualified, certified in the marriage preparation course, we were the only lawyers in the room out of 250 people there. They are all social workers or even pastors and ministers as well as psychiatrists.
(08:52-09:05) Everybody just gave us around of applause. Simply because you donāt hear of many lawyers actually really getting involved in the marriage work so I guess we see more and more lawyers who are interested.
(09:45-10:16) I would say that I had a moment of truth especially for the very first case I had. I actually saw the couple actually turning away from the decision to divorce. After going through like less than 3 months of the course that we have been doing and so that was really an eye opener because the couple are actually staying away more than a year. Can you imagine more than a year? Living two separate lives. In fact, when they came to see us, it was very awkward because they were like two completely strangers.
(10:30-10:54) They move back together and they rebuild their lives and thatās like 10 years ago and now they are still happily married and they have 2 kids so Iām really very happy so that was like the moment of truth when that happened. I told my husband and say Hey! Can you imagine we are doing this in our spare time. We should be doing more of this. Maybe this is really where our passion really lies and thatās where it started to grow.
Being good is a powerful influence.
Relax, slow down and enjoy life to the fullest. Smile to everyone as it spreads positive vibes and thoughts. Ms. Claire defined what is woman with influence. She said:
(12:04-12:31) Well, obviously for me, a woman of influence is somebody who can help people think positively. I think that is something which, to me, is when you give a bit of love even just a random act of kindness you are already a woman of influence. Even when you give up your seat on the train for somebody you are already a woman of influence. It doesnāt take much. Sometimes smiles are enough.
(13:42-14:11) I think one of the obstacles I faced obviously is that you need to be like a garang, you know. People come to me and say you donāt like a lawyer to me. Youāre more like a friend or a counselor. And I thought to myself why this have to be different? It doesnāt have to be different. To me, being a lawyer is being able to speak up and protect your clientsā interests. And so you would have to do that part.
(14:22-14:32) Of course, no doubt, that the world is so stressful. I do believe that we can take a positive attitude. Learn to embrace the challenges and learn to enjoy the journey.

FWEP00048 Alverna Cher
(02:00-02:08) Iām the first type planner in Singapore that helps my clients to write wills, arrange LPA and also advance funeral planning.
(02:11-02:27) In my opinion, writing a will is important for everyone. Itās not only for the rich, why? Because you want to leave down a clear instructions to our next kid. Clear instructions on how to handle our assets if thereās any or
02:36 Yeah, generally, people will but actually writing a will is not expensive with us. But if you choose to right the will with a lawyer then that will be costly. But in Singapore, we donāt need a lawyer to write a will. A will is actually very simple. No need for a computer.
(03:04-03:14) So in a will you only need to write for example, me, my name, my company, future in what percentage, thatās all.
(03:49) Even if you thereās no will then people in a family complicates the whole issue and eventhough they want a claim for
(04:14-04:37) In Asia, especially Singapore people are too very taboo to talk about it. But actually it can cure many. In Singapore, I'm also the first one you know to do a pre plan enrol for insurance component. That means people they buy this pre plan funeral in advance and this money will help them to do the funeral plan.
(04:51-05:04) Expenses? So there are known other expenses that they need to pay. They also can choose what coffin they wanna sleep in. What kind of decoration on funeral.
(06:04) I actually involve people in their life
(07:09) We try to identify who needs help so the people who really needs help
(07:39) Yes, being a mother, an entrepreneur itās all about time management. A lot of things have to juggle at the same time so I used to change time for money. I found
(08:28-08:46) For me, there was a time that I am a housewife so Majin left me. Iām only left with $400,000 then I have to shoulder everything so at the time we had this business, funeral business, so I ask myself because I am a housewife.
(09:37) So I go around sharing with people how to write a will, how to plan . My next plan is actually going to an IT school to educate these young generations so they know what to do.
(10:09-10:19) So basically my motto now is to continue to inspire more women to turn down their behavior to work to keep their flames burning so failure doesnāt stop them.
Key Takeaways:
Writing a will is important for everyone.
Inspire more women to keep their flames burning because failure should not stop us.
Manage everything in an organized way.
Be life ready with insurance.
We should start planning the future.

FWEP00047 Christina Chen
Today we have a really special guest of us. Her name is Christina Chen and sheās the co-founder of Scalized which is focusing on investments.
Technology alone is not enough.
Scalized used technology to unite people on becoming entrepreneurs and they wanted this to help people globally. Ms. Christina shared further what does Scalized do.
(01:01-01:24) Hello everybody! My name is Christina Chen. I was born in China, grew up in China and went to the UK. My background is in Computer Science and have been doing tech investments as a venture capitalist for 10 years and recently I come out to co found Scalized which is a new generation technology investment fund.
(01:32-01:46) We actually focus a lot interest and capital in Tip top technology so robotics, artificial intelligence, cloud technology etc.
(01:50-02:19) We want to be the new generation investment fund. Funds that are really powerful for new generation entrepreneurs. What I mean by that is not only the new technologies that cutting edge technology, we are talking about the AI, artificial technology etc. but the new global wave of entrepreneurs who are looking at not only their home markets but looking at going abroad, going global, want to build even more global business.
(02:25-03:04) So we have already a pretty broad venture partner network and what that means is really a network of advice and different key markets although we have courses in London. We have partners in Silicon Valley and San Francisco. We have partners in Asia, mostly in China, Beijing, Shanghai, Hongkong. We also have partners in Continental Europe in Geneva etc. so this is really the key word here is really global. I think for every entrepreneur who has seen the idea thereās a potential to have a global impact.
What makes you different, makes you amazing!
Each and every one of us is different from the way we express ourselves and what we believe. Embrace these differences and be unique. Ms. Christina shared:
(03:17-03:58) So I mean itās been a long time. Iāve been doing an investment for 10 years. You start from nobody. You start from being nobody. Iām at rise and even today really almost giving my knowledge to the next generation and all those experiences. Being a female in very male dominance in finance industry is different, is challenging sometimes. It is just not the norm so it comes on a daily basis as how entrepreneurs interact with you, how other financial investors interact with you etc.
(04:05-04:42) Although we work in a very cutting edge, new generation technology trend in the technology world, our industry the finance industry is quite old fashioned in some ways. And thereās certain, I guess traditions that in set in the expectations. To give a very memorable experience of mine is that Iāve been told about how I look and how I dress etc. not to wear black all the time and how I look different to, you know, I work in New York. Iāve also in a very white environment.
(04:47-04:59) I think one message out there for a lot of great women out there is do not be afraid to be different. In fact, you will be remembered because youāre different and do not try to fit in.
(05:30-06:01) You donāt look like us. Youāre not dressing enough colors. Youāre doing too many colors. You should look as so x,y,z someone else in the office who is more, you know, conformed to their standard black suit. Also, in fact, I was told that you shouldnāt look like a 3rd party whoās already made it and sheās you know, already at the top of the food chain so she can dress the way she is.
(06:03-06:22) I think I mean, this is one of the, it really hit me because that was really something very personal for me, obviously. Addressing something very personal directly at me but only then, I realized that you know what? Iām different.
Where and how did you start?
It is not how you start. It is how you going to end it. Ms. Christina started from nowhere but she worked hard and met people who helped her to become who she is today.
(06:31-07:02) I realize that in this stand age, you very often you come across doing business or in a social environment across somebody, people who have completed background of me because the word is so global, so international and the ability for you actually to accept differences. Actually, it can set you apart in the sense that it can make you more successful, can make you do more business, can do better business and actually doing good business for example.
(07:28-08:02) You know I start from nowhere. When are you going to the business in the finance business, in investments business you got no work which you see, you meet. You meet investors who have been in the industry for how many years. You meet investors who have invested in Google, in Facebook. You want to be one of them, you must also convince that entrepreneurs I can be and I will be and be part of the journey to become the next successful.
(08:11-08:45) Iāve been to many networking events. I start form met a panel here. I start with very small panels with evening events, on Tuesday evenings with handful of entrepreneurs want to share that ideas and then the word grow and then you say stupid things, you make mistakes but you kind of learn from that and then you get better and better and hopefully your stage gets bigger and bigger so that your ideas can reach out to more entrepreneurs.
(08:55-09:48) I really want to empower entrepreneurs. Empower entrepreneurs who have a game changing ideaWe have in this technology world, there are a lot of game changers so just making life a little bit easier, a little bit better but looking for disruptions, looking for things that change the game, change the landscape and you know using artificial intelligence some of the latest technology will do that. And that takes time, patience, knowledge, money and I want to be the person who did the brand behind doing all of that so that we can actually make this world a better place.
What is your business advice?
Ms. Christina shared some business advice and tools that she uses every day to organize everything.
(10:04-10:43) No, actually, this is a very big thing for me is the mentor network, mentorships. It plays a huge part especially upcoming business person, whatever field youāre doing. Having a mentor is so important. I am still, myself, still looking for one. It does not have to be generally specific or the same gender or same origin but someone youād look up to. Iām still looking for someone that I could look up to and willing to share their life experiences with me so far.
(10:55-12:23) Know you staff. Know your share so you definitely need to know whatever industry, sector, it doesnāt mean to be tact, whatever business you are in, you have to know, not only what youāre doing but how you position different from the others. Sustainable competitive advantage is very important for any business to be successful, that's one thing, thatās more of a general sort of business advice.
(13:16-13:25) Yes so Iām in Hongkong for less than 24 hours from London today. Yes so I landed this morning and Iām going back tonight.
(13:45-14:07) So my phone, I canāt live without my phone. My calendar, my emails obviously. They are so very good. If youāre looking for a good to-do-list of things like that, Trello, is a good to-do-list not only for yourself but also for the team, happiness planner if you heard of that.
Make your dreams happen.
Our dreams are valid. Our dreams can be our reality when we work hard to achieve it. Nothing is impossible as what happened to Ms. Christina.
(15:16-15:59) One thing I quite like to ask, I really like to ask is Where do you see yourself 5 -10 years from now? Especially for the very young start-ups. It is a very uncertain time for them and itās hard to even see what the business are becoming more years time or 6 months time but having a peek into the entrepreneurs, the founders so the vision can really give you a sense of the kind of people they are whether they are long term or short term, their commercial or more mission driven and more technical more people. Itās really quite interesting.
(16:05-16:17) The other one is about comparison advantage. For anybody who wants to raise funding about your business, whatever that business is, make sure you have that nailed when you talk to investors why youāre different.
(16:25-16:35) If you can successfully say why you are different in one or two lines very compellingly thatās already have the journey I think.
(17:18-17:45) One thing that really inspired me was this quote may be also form Sharon Sambag is Who would you do if youāre not afraid? It can only, if you dream big, you can achieve big. Everyday Iām challenging myself to dream big so that I can achieve more.

FWEP00046 Lilian Leong
Today we have a really special guest with us her name is Lilian Leong. She is the Chief Operating Officer of 9Gag.
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Ms. Lilian shared her work experiences before she got the offer of becoming the Chief Operating Officer of 9Gag.
(01:00-01:03) Hi, I'm Lilian and Iām the Chief Operating Officer of 9Gag.
(01:08-01:24) Well less than a year. I join 9Gag last year in August. After like 9 months conversation with the CEO, I took my time to really evaluate the opportunity and 9 months later I was on board, that was August last year.
(01:35-01:45) But I would say that Iām old enough to be seen as having influence but you know, I could never find a way to quantify that.
(01:52-02:14) In my first half of my career, I spent the last 13 years running a little bit at Hongkong , that was one of the largest agencies. Thatās the biggest creative agency in Hongkong. And then I changed field kind of, within still communication industry and moved to the media agency side. I ran UM IPG Media Branch Hongkong.
(02:32-02:55) Well that was pretty still. I will say quite similar because no matter if itās advertising or media is kind of like still about communication. I talk to you, you talk to me thatās the rule of the game, I would say. So as a manager, of course, I have to understand people. I will say the biggest challenge for me back then was to understand culture.
Achieving gender equality is everyoneās responsibility.
Men and women have different roles but they are both equal in opportunities, careers and rights. This gender equality was mentioned by Ms. Lilian.
(03:37-04:34) Well this is my secret recipe, I would say. This is very important and obviously, this is neglected by lots of other people especially in general, I would say guys because men most of the time I think, the opposite gender will find understanding people, understanding about your feelings, is kind of like, demonstrates the weakness of a leader to listen, to ask questions. But I guess at the end you have to understand the motive of the people. Iām not a fortune teller. I canāt read the motive of a person simply by looking at them or reading their palms, I mean thatās not my expertise. So I guess at the end of the day it is about asking questions, asking why, what are your feelings. I would say thatās step 1, all from the other steps, the trust that I demand from the team.
(04:49-05:12) If I have to communicate with anyone, I also have to open myself, right? Open up myself so when I talk to them about the fear I have or the sadness I have they will say, they kind of like, they donāt understand the thought like being seen as the older person in the street and they thought, I donāt have fear. I donāt have failure, I donāt have sadness.
(05:14-05:37) The biggest challenge is that they will be scared when I show signs of vulnerability of myself. They will be shocked and in some way, they are kind of feeling intimidated, overwhelming. But after we build the trust then that is okay, I would say and thatās a very worthwhile to do for any of the female leader, I would say.
(05:49-06:32) Fortunately, in the past of my career, I have never seen cases like that, otherwise I wonāt be sitting here. I guess it would be not objective enough in gender at the end of the day will be a hindrance at any personās career growth. I remember 20 years ago, back then, I was in an interview, being interviewed by the Vice President of China somewhere in a bank raid of agency and the client was Japan to Pagcor and that boss ask me so Lilian, what do you feel if you have to serve a bunch of Japanese guys? Do you think you can handle it?
(06:37-06:47) And my answer was if you have that problem, we have a problem. I was hired at the end.
(06:57-7:29) Japanese tobacco was the client so thatās even more difficult for me. But I just ignore this kind of myth and by the way, I never see myself as a woman. I see myself as a professional. I was an executive. I was just doing my own job like at the end of the day itās like I would say, itās people capability more important?
How do you handle issues in your workplace?
If they tell you that you canāt do something perhaps you should consider that they are only telling you what they canāt do. Never give a doubt as Ms. Lilian said.
(8:27-8:40) I got harassed by some of the people from the very high up but I just kick their ass, I just said itās not appropriate.
(8:48-9:13) I rejected them upfront and I said I wonāt go and itās not good. And then I walked away I really gave them a stepped face at the end of the day, itās not what you say but itās the gesture that you want to give. I gave that kind of tone like you know, mess up with me Iāll be kicking your ass thatās what I did and then they never came back with the same kind of approach.
(9:28-9:53) I didnāt worry, I didnāt worry at all. I just do what is my instinct, I have to protect myself just like an animal if I got attacked and then Iāll bite and I guess at the end of the day it is by basic instinct for any of the individuals male or female, older people or younger people to project themselves I think we have the right to do it.
(10:29-10:38) I guess itās like, believe in yourself and never overthink. I never give a doubt on what I want to do if I think this is the right move, I just do it.
Be eager to learn and improve.
Be open to possibilities and changes and welcome new ideas. Stay open-minded and everything will be possible. Ms. Lilian shared:
(11:11-11:54) First of all, when I changed from creative industry to media industry, creative agency people already thought I was a maniac, why would you want to work in the media agency and plan TV autro and digital. I thought data is very important is the essential for any of the marketing to build on so I took that chance and after 3 years and I thought you know what, Iām old enough and by chance I did have the opportunity to meet with Rey, thatās my existing CEO at the conference.
(12:46-13:10) I only discover that I did let go a lot after I join, that I was officially the oldest employee in the company and I was the person who understands that the list, I donāt know how to deal with the loss of the tools, I donāt know how to google good enough, I donāt know how to handle google documents that well.
(13:34-13:51) Looking back is really a journey because itās so different I wouldnāt have learned so much if I stay on the same company. and of course you know I will have my PA I will have my CFO I will have my HR to handle everything for me. But now, Iām the PA on my own and google is my best partner.
(14:54-15:24) The biggest learning in my career so far is never kinda you learn it all. I guess the biggest barrier for any individuals on earth, especially some of the people Iāve been, I done that I hate this kind, some people ask me are you proud? As your mom proud of you? I said no, I really donāt think so. Iām still learning and I donāt think Iām not good enough.
(16:25-16:42) Everyone will be afraid to get absolute someday, some time we all do. But if it happens it happens. So, but either way I just learned, I just want to be better and nothing will stop me.
(16:51-16:55) I want to move the world, I would.

FWEP00045 Shian Lee Chiam
In this episode, our guest is an amazing lady from Brunei who started playing the piano when she was 3 years old but started the piano when she was 1 year old. She won the world championship at 15 years old and her name is Shian Lee Chiam.
Competing in the Olympics of Music
Shian shared to us when she started performing which is a big part of her life. She also stated the feelings she felt doing her passion.
(3:17-3:39) - Iāve been performing since I was 7, so performing is part of my life. You know, if you love to do something itās not work, itās not like something you dread, something you actually love of course I have to say it was a little bit nervous this is broadcast live to people around the world. This is my first time going to Hollywood and to compete there with all the different nations.
(03:53 -4:00) - Being in the new environment open place where everyone is so passionate about the performing artist it is amazing.
Source of success
Her parents supports her throughout her career and she is very thankful for that, because her parents her inspiration.
(04:22 - 04:37) So much of my success is because my mom and my dad really push me and sometimes itās really tough but they just get you through you know you have that one person that will always push you no matter what. That really help me.
(7:19-7:31) Parents your children are really really important. You have to give them time every single day just one hour to help them know their dreams. Cause if you donāt then the time is gonna past really really fast.
Having program for toddlers
Helping Toddlers Become ProtƩgƩes.
Shianās mom has a program which they entertain kids for an hour every single week to help them teach the children be musically inclined.
(8:16-8:56) My parents have a project, my mom have this program for toddlers and this is the way that she trained us when we are on 3 to 4 to 5 itās called EMF/EMG. This program helps toddlers become protĆ©gĆ©es. It teach you good rhythm teach you perfect pitch and itās one hour a week. So we are trying to launch it out in Ebook form so we can access the children around the world. So that all the child, if they spend this one hour a week, every single week they will also learn how to be more musically inclined and also learn the strategies that my mom taught me.
(9:46-10:07) Itās like everyone can start but itās the way how you finish. Itās really the way how you finish. You have to go all the way, finish it. Thereās no point starting like this fitness program or that fitness program and never finishing. You can buy ten of them but if you never finish it itās no good. You have to go all the way to the extreme till the end and then youāll see the results.
How do you manage your time?
Time management is very important specially if youāre in the industry of performing. 1 hour for each of her routines are enough for her to manage her time.
(12:23-12:47) In the morning, you must always dedicate time to sit down and meditate, meditate first of all like, first I do my quiet time in the morning with God. I meditate what Iām gonna do today and then after that I start to exercise. Exercise releases endomorphins, it would trigger you to make you happy
Love the life you have
Those who understand you will never judge you. Keep on working hard to reach your dreams. Once you appreciate the life you have today, tomorrow will be another day for you to step closer to your dreams.
(15:28-16:09) A lot of times you may not fit in, you may think that youāre not good enough but I face a lot of cases especially in this industry, where you have to fit in this type in this image you know in these things. I want to say that you must live in this moment. You must love life, love yourself the way that you are right now. So that tomorrow you donāt live in the stressed life. Live in the kind of knowing this that you love yourself and every single day is a process. Every single day is one step closer to your journey, to your goal.
Key Takeaways:
Live the life that you want.
Respect and love your parents.
Always have the strategy.
Thereās always a person to support you
Manage your time

FWEP00044 Mirela Sula
Today we have a very special guest. Her name is Mirela Sula, the founder of Global Woman Club. She has a platform that connects a lot of business women around the world.
Our prime purpose in life is to help others.
Ms. Sula known her purpose in life from her younger years. And with her knowledge and experience, she used these to inspire women know their rights and how to be confident.
(01:27-01:46) Well Iām supposed to be based in London but in the last 3, 4 years Iāve been all over the world. Living my dream of meeting some inspirational woman. Finding their dreams and connections on how we can serve to the world with what we do.
(02:03-02:55) Well the same as you do, because, you know, when youāre living your purpose and when youāre thinking and so loyal to that purpose then everything else will just fall into its places. Of course, it started with the global magazine because that is my background. Iāve been working in the media for a long time and my passion, of course, worked overtime to help and support women because I came from a culture that women didnāt have a strong voice and they didnāt have that power to express themselves, that's why I always had this passion inside me that everything that I accumulate inside myself, knowledge, experience, networking opportunities to turn it into something that helps others as well.
(04:04-04:34) Well, since we are here now in Singapore with rich women and Robert Kiyosaki, definitely that book has changed in ruling my life but the lives of many women who wanted to become financially independent that was a big thing. I have studied one of their Masters degree and PhD and everything it takes like the culture and of course, family and everything that we embrace while we are growing up in that culture.
Make goals, dream big and live with passion.
Change is painful but it is more painful staying stuck somewhere that you donāt belong. Ms. Sula shared how she deals with women who are currently stuck and unhappy with their present lives.
(05:32-05:48) Yeah, I keep going. Iām just living the big passion that I have inside me, the big dream. And then I donāt need to go anywhere. Things that I want, they come.
(06:17-06:45) Oh thatās very interesting! When I meet women the day that they know they are stuck and they are looking for a new direction in life and they say Okay, letās find where you are because that's a very important thing to do the assessment where you are because you donāt know where you are going and before you find out where are you located. You do an assessment of the situation that you are at that moment.
(06:58-07:33) To see if you are still sleeping or you are awakening up slowly. Itās really hard to see that some women they never even get to the awakening up momentum. So until you come to that momentum, no matter how clever you are and how much knowledge you have inside if you are not using that knowledge, if you are not awakened person you just go around then look for different directions but you will not get what you really deserve. So thatās why number 1 is to find you where you are and to find out if you are still sleeping or awakened.
(08:03-08:33) I always say, look, if you are not happy where you are then, you move because youāre not a tree. Thatās why itās very important to start moving and to be honest, nothing changes until something moves and people keep asking themselves why my life is not changing? Because youāre not moving and if you want something that you never had, you have to do something that you never had done before so thatās why I encourage women first of all, to wake up then to start moving.
Learn how to cope because there will really be dark days in our lives.
All of us will have bad times, dark days and dark momentum but these dark days will make us stronger. Some of the dark days of Ms. Sula was conquering depression that she had before.
(09:09-09:41) Well, thatās very interesting because sometimes you have to reach dark zone, dark momentum and seek for solutions before you see the light. Because of course, we have seen a lot of big names and big personalities now that they care a lot about the challenges that they had in life and difficulties and as a psychologist, I have seen a lot of people come to therapy looking for answers and for solutions after they have flashed.
(09:56-10:34) The big first crashed is when I lost my first child and I went to severe deep depression. At that time, in our culture, psychology was quite a new field, nobody new about depression or stress . Then I gave to my son and you know, postpartum depression nailed and nobody could help me and that was the biggest dark zone that I experience in my life and I had to choices to do, to just give up my life or just get out of the dark zone.
(12:01-12:26) Well, at that time, was not possible because nobody could help in this situation because as I said psychology is rare at that time under communist regime and the word depression didnāt exist at the vocabulary. People could go through this difficult issues, science term of issues and never knew what is that about.
(13:52-14:29) I had a private practice in helping people in psychotherapy for quite a long time and I started big movement on helping women empower themselves for me, that was another discovery that if you want to empower yourself, first you have to build your confidence, the confidence of the internal work and that led me to new projects on empowering people around me but especially women where they were always suppress and under pressure and suffering inside.
Media can be useful to share impact to people.
With Ms. Sulaās knowledge and experience together with the media, she was able to expand their club and it continued inspiring women to move if they are unhappy and be confident.
(14:49-14:59) Now, we have access to more information as I said at that time it was no internet, no computer, nothing you could get this information anywhere thatās why we're like in an isolation.
(15:08-15:25) Great things have changed the new paradigm has proved that humans have the ability to change themselves to re-brain themselves to re-create themselves and the same I see as an opportunity for women.
(16:38-17:10) So I first started working as a trainer of domestic violence in London one of the biggest organizations in London and then while working and conducting my PhD research about domestic violence, I realize that two big things why women really suffer on domestic violence is number 1, confidence and number 2 financial dependency and I said how do I turn this into something that, itās my passion and I wanna turn into business.
(17:43-18:08) Then I came up with this idea of building a new platform. First, interviewing them and finding out their issues, their problems, their concerns, challenges, what are the main problems and then once I learned that if you find the problem then you are in business because you find the solution and thatās it
(18:34-19:09) The question is how do you do that? I just put together psychology and media together plus my experiences then how do I do their confidence? I give them a microphone and then they realize if you want transparent woman, give them a microphone. Iāve seen how women changed completely, the language, the voice, the power that they stand itās completely shifted to the whole course of journey. And I just started to see the results.
What was the journey like?
No journey is long when your dreams are big and youāre so passionate about it. The club is continuously growing up until this day. Ms. Sula remembers how the club started from her magazine.
(20:18-20:31) The journey of thousands of miles starts with the first step. Absolutely! As Iāve said in the beginning it started with the magazine I grow together with a group of amazing women that I interviewed.
(20:38-21:14) We ended up crying at the end of the day because it was very emotional, we started to open up and share and why we donāt do more like this? Again, it started in my office in the Novabone street in London and for 7 to 8 months, it was just free invitation only. Then it started to grow and grow then the demand became so big and then we say Okay, letās start the proper platform the membership scheme. Then women started to travel from other countries to attend this club in London.
(21:16-21:39) I wish I had it in Paris. I wish I had it in Amsterdam or France or Vienna or Stockhelm or New York or L.A or in Dubai and these women were traveling to London coming and seeing the model on how we put and seeing the results and said how do I get this in my country and this is how it became now wide global.
(21:58-22:29) In the club we meet at breakfast, we have some nice food and then working and conversations and then members come in and we gave them a microphone and we say, come in and tell us who you are. Sometimes, at the beginning, we had some resistance like Oh, I donāt have much to say, Iām not sure like whatever just two minutes and say whatever you want. Tell us story, what did you do when you were a child or in the school or What was your dream.
(22:30-23:01) And I realize at the beginning women were hesitating to take the microphone but trust me once they grab that microphone, they wouldnāt want to leave it and will say Please, give me the microphone back now two minutes so we give them two minutes then they take more now. And then they move from two minutes, to ten or twelve and thirty. At the beginning in front of 30 to 40 women in this small club and then they move to big stages and we have seen women that they never had spoken before and you know the biggest fear after death is public speaking.
Every great achiever is encouraged by a great mentor.
Ms. Veronica was her mentor that helped and is still helping the club to grow. Her existence amazes so many women and she is indeed, an influential person.
(23:32-24:21) Yes, I am so excited because it was so funny. Veronica Tan has been like my mentor, not only for me but for many women who has managed to meet her. Itās like a miracle. She doesnāt know the effect, the magic, the impact she creates just by her presence. She has been supporting us behind the scenes over time and women, when they get to know that Veronica is coming, they come just to meet her and just do a picture with her. But sheās such a humble person so she never realized, she never knew how big her influence was on all these women that she was meeting.
(24:25-24:55) She has been helping me, running the clubs all over. Everywhere that we invite her, she comes and supports like a condition. We just realized that we donāt have a club in Singapore and she said Okay, weāll a club in Singapore! And the team is asking by the way, Who is going to be the director of Global Women Club in Singapore? Veronica! They were so excited!
(25:13-25:30) Now we are here to launch the club for the very first time in Singapore. Veronica, Iām sure is going to turn this club in a big success. Not only for the Global Women platform but especially, it is a gift for women who live in this country.
Just keep taking the next step!
The fortunate ones are the ones who take the risk on their first step. Ms. Sula shared her daily routine to keep her going on inspiring women as much as possible women in the whole wide world.
(25:38-26:31) My vision is always growing and growing. Itās like itās changing its CV all the time because itās becoming bigger than I thought. Of course, itās connected with the strong desire to see women standing in their power like seeing women not only in developed countries but all over the world. Then once we kind of extend this movement and make it accessible for any woman who wants number one, to build confidence and make their money like can confidently say that Men are not financial plan and get the rights to have their own money and feel so good about being taking ownership of their life, that is my dream.
(26:53-27:48) Well I think that they are connected because you need to feel fabulous. If you donāt feel fabulous then you donāt feel like you have that freedom. This freedom is all about feeling good enough with yourself. And a lot of women, Iāve seen they really lack that freedom of feeling good enough because they live in the cage of what other people created for them. They are connected together. Freedom doesnāt come if you donāt connect that fabulous component inside yourself. And once fabulous and freedom meet each other then you build everything. You can build finance, you can build success, you can build significance, fulfillment and everything.
(28:43-29:32) Thatās the most important question because everything, itās a daily routine. You canāt go here if you donāt take the steps. You canāt take the leap there. And the steps is how you treat yourself every single day. How you feed yourself. What kind of food you are putting in your body and to your mind and your spirit. What kind of diet you are using. Itās not just one day, it has to be consistent. The consistency is the most important thing that helps us to create the habit. If we keep that consistency, we create a habit of success instead creating the habit of failure.
Change is equal to self-improvement.
The good in living is to be able to try new things that may be out of our comfort zone. But it will lead us to self improvement and realizing even more our self worth. Ms. Sula mentioned how important our mental health and how to keep it healthy.
(29:46-30:18) So for me as being very important from the very beginning when I started this journey of self-development number one, never quit the steps towards feeding yourself and no resharing and investing in yourself. It can be an event like this for example. It can be reading a book, meditation, conversation with yourself. All of them. All the things that you need in a consistent basis.
(30:20-30:42) This is also very important because we all the time need to add into the new program. If you want to change yourself, you need to recharge the programming and recharge means we need to add up new content to our program and that new content has to be on a daily basis.
(31:13-31:29) Well, itās not hard because itās like the same way you wake up, you brush your teeth or you get your coffee. The same way is like you give the food to your mental workers that are working inside you.
(32:01-32:31) If you think that staying anonymous is going to help you grow your business thatās not going to work. So everybody is reaching you. Iām all over, everywhere just tag Global Woman and people donāt remember my name they remember Global Woman and they find everything where I am, what I am doing, insta story, everything, Tv, live, we are so visible and I encourage all women not to hide.
(34:03-34:36) It has been amazing, absolutely amazing journey. Of course, we had our challenges as we had to go through a lot of change. But Iām really feeling everyday, like my son is part of the whole mission now. Heās studying biomedical science and heās very awakened person, very aligned with his mission. He knows what he wants in life. Millenials know better than we know before and Iām very proud of what he has achieved.
(35:05-35:48) First of all I would say that question yourself where were you are. Ask yourself questions because the quality of our questions define the quality of our present life. Ask any kind of question and then the answers stuck because these answers will help us to move to the next level and for that itās really important to surround with the right people. Surrounded with the right people is absolutely fundamental because we are the average type of people that we spend most of the time.

FWEP00043 Charis Rooda
Today we have a very special guest. Her name is Charis Rooda. The owner and organizer of Hong Kong's most popular web conference, Webconf.asia! Webconf.asia is a non-profit conference for people who build websites, with the goal of bringing together and inspiring the web community in Asia.
Conference she organized
It may be hard on the beginning but success will come if you donāt give up. When you love what youāre doing the hardship doesnāt matter anymore because you know you can do it.
(1:38-2:02) I used to organize a conference in Amsterdam and when I came here I wanted to do the same but it takes you like a few years to kinda find out how and look for a community works and I looked around and I organize few meet-ups and I decided Iām just gonna do it, and I started little or less than a year ago and my conference was a month ago or so and it went really well.
(2:11-2:20) As a sponsor we had Microsoft, we had Mozilla we had Fastly, IPGP there are quite a lot of good sponsors.
How you get started?
Everything is impossible if you believe in yourself. Always think of plans. Don't be afraid to start without having anything and learn from your experiences.
(2:35-2:40) I think the main thing is you need to meet a lot of people. I went to a lot of meet-ups coming to concerts where there are a lot of people.
(2:50-3:00) I need to steal a lot of people about your idea and you tell them that you have really big plans and you kinda hope that they wanna join you on that.
(3:04-3:26) I just really really wanted it. And I think you just start or I just really want to make this happen. I was kinda building websites is really cool but it doesnāt satisfy as much as learning in events. You do research and you just start.
(3:43-3:54) I started with getting my venue and it was a very big struggle because I didnāt have a good network to find an event.
(4:02-4:14) You just start to invite people and slowly, slowly bit by bit itās coming together and then youāre like awake for many nights because youāre really afraid that you wonāt sell any tickets and so you do a lot of promos and then tickets start selling.
How do you manage your fear?
The best way to beat problems is to face and work on them. Making yourself busy is a good way on how to overcome struggles. Don't let them distract you from your dreams.
(4:36-4:52) I think the best way to kind of reduce my fear is to work on it cause when youāre busy trying to sell those tickets youāre not really afraid you wonāt sell them. So I was just making a lot of hours to make sure that I sold them.
(4:57-5:12) Talk to a lot of people. I think, still, at least, Hong Kong is still really offline so I talked to a lot of people told them it is going to be really good. Like, in the end, I just told people itās going to be really good, just buy your tickets.
(5:52-6:07) When you do something like that just ask people to help you because it might be in the beginning you might not wanna do that because people love to help and as soon as you start to reach out to people.
How do you realized that people love to help?
(6:46-7:02) I think once kinda people start offering it to you then you think like I can just do it like there are lot of stuff you can actually just do but itās doesnāt feel like youāre just too shy to do that. You shouldnāt be.
What is a woman of influence for you?
As a woman, you are expected to have goals in life. Through that expectation, every woman becomes strong and motivated in achieving their passion.
(8:38-8:42) I kinda like it when women do stuff their own way.
(9:17-9:23) I think always like, starting is the most difficult part and once itās running itās gonna be fine.
(9:41-9:57) I find it like a way not to worry about stuff, so if Iām just really worried about the stuff I just make a list of that stuff down, Iād rather just work on it than worry.
(10:22-10:51) In Amsterdam, Iām kinda got pulled into an organization that was organizing events and in the first year you just donāt know what youāre doing, to everybody I kinda talk whoās doing event, everybody says āI have no idea what Iām doing. Because she just donāt know and after 2 or 3 years she kinda sees should have pattern and thatās why I learned. I also knew when I did the last event in Amsterdam I knew next start would be running my own event I just really paid good attention.
What advice can you give to female entrepreneurs?
Failure doesn't mean that you're not good enough, keep trying and trying to achieve success. No matter how long it is but never stop doing what can make you happy.
(11:13-11:35) Just start, donāt be afraid that youāre not able to do it. Because everybody just started zero and the thing is also most of the time the first stuff you do wonāt be the good but thatās fun. Because you do another round and then another round and just try to get involved and somehow learn a lot and just step out and do it on your own.

In this episode, we will talk about what a difference one person can make! Each one can make a difference and together we can make a change. Mr. Mark Yuzuik shared how he started and fulfilled he is on helping others.
(01:23-01:48) Well, Iāve been doing shows for almost 30 years and all over 10,000 shows and I thought you know if we can do a show and help people have fun. Can we really help someone to get to the next level with these blocks? And if people have blocks in life, how we get rid of these blocks? So understanding the patterns of people that they run every day, you can influence your own mind to get rid of the blocks.
(02:48-03:05) What made me interested is realizing that I could take it to the next level. If somebody is stuck and you know that the reason youāre stuck in one little thing and you could help them. Imagine what you can do with the masses out there and to me, I get more fulfillment out of helping somebody that has been stuck for years because they donāt know why.
(04:01-04:19) One person makes a difference. Think about how rewarding that is versus making excuses why I canāt do that. If you tell yourself you canāt do that then why youāre doing that. Is it to connect and be humble to the person or are you telling something you canāt because you love the person and you want them to grow?
(04:31-04-55) They donāt believe that they can do it. Secondly, they listen to other people. They get other peopleās limitations and beliefs. Thatās must be like this! And they are influenced by the media and TV and everything else out there. They listen to negative programming itās called TV programming. They listen to that and guess what? They adopt that same belief and so they wake up questioning What if I can do it?
We grow when we face challenges.
Challenges make life interesting and overcoming it makes life more meaningful. Mr. Mark shared some life advice on how we face these challenges on a daily basis.
(05:28-05:45) Everybody goes to challenges where we have questions on ourselves. Am I really able to do this or not? What would make me a good leader? You just have to get up to and face your fear and just know that itās not about you. If we all focus on how we going to feel, if we failed or succeed then weāre not suing anybody.
(06:18-06:30) It wasnāt a challenge for me, it was a desire for me to succeed. I focused on what I want, why I want to succeed. Now donāt let anybody tell me I canāt do it. In fact, is the more they told me I canāt do it, the more motivated I was.
(07:01-07:26) She is a model and also a speaker. She speaks to womenās groups all over just got back from Mexico and we met 11 years ago at a bookshelf, a large bookshelf. We were promoting a childrenāsā book on respect, responsibility, everybody has value. She was in the book next to me.
Mutual understanding is the main backbone of every happy relationship.
Mr. Mark and his wife is a normal couple that faces challenges that together they conquer. They understand that both of them are different and they understand these differences.
(08:09-08:34) We donāt blame each other for anything. We understand that people are different. And if you can respect somebody, understand why they are feeling what they are feeling, then it doesnāt have to be the end of you if you could understand them. And youāre all about āHow can I serve this personā. At that point, youāre not focused on what you are getting, youāre appreciating what you have.
(09:52-10:07) She also wants me to be happy and we do things for each other not because we are expecting but because we choose to, we want to and if it is expected then what are you doing? This is a business transaction relationship. Well, if I give you this then you give me that is a transaction.
(10:35-10:55) Women are the most powerful human beings and I believe men are strong. Because when a woman can stand behind a man and support him to be the man who is going to provide for her, a man feels alive and a woman feels like the queen that she should really is. I think we should worship every woman out there and be grateful that they are in our lives.
(12:12-12:22) Have variety. Do things that are unexpected. What would you do for so many when you first met, anything. Why would that slow down? Why would you not continue to surprise and do things for her?
If you really want something, you will always find a way.
If itās important to you, you make it into your actions to achieve what you really want. And if it fails, you get up and move forward. Mr. Mark shared:
(13:21-13:46) Number one, if you thought what you really wanted and not what your getting but your giving then you start moving. If you do something that doesnāt work, if it fails then people will judge you then what we do? We talk ourselves out of it and we think Oh, my God! So what you do is to go on and be busy. Instead of being productive, youāre busy.
(14:03-14:19) We learn from each other and I think when we learn from each other, you get to grow and for one thing, how do you break that mind, that mind is condition. You know what people would ask me, itās a condition. They have to condition themselves to procrastinate just like you can tell yourself in action.
It takes change to make a change.
Progress is impossible without a change. Always remember that you are doing what you are doing right now because it would make your life better. Mr. Mark mentioned on how not to get stuck on the current life that you have.
(15:05-15:24) Everybody is different. Itās who you hanging out with. Sometimes you think your family is your best coach. You want to find a good coach? Find somebody who experienced it because experience from there, you could teach. From knowledge without experience, is an opinion.
(15:52-16:07) When you have enough reasons why you want something other than yourself that point you will move forward. Have you ever wanted something so bad in your life and you think about how you going to get it and youāre determined to get it? Who has it? Everybody. They donāt think about what they have to do, they think about the results.
(17:07-17:25) I think that it always changes based on the needs that we have. Because if we are financially independent and we are not free, how good is it? But if we are free from financial independence, where we at? If we feel fabulous, thatās great. We going to keep feeling that way, what are we going to do with that feeling? So I think all three words work together.
(18:37-18:54) You donāt think about it. When you have the thought, you react right away and when you could react, you break it and you start creating a new pattern that one thing you like thatās been holding. Nobody wants to procrastinate, nobody wants that fear, that we do, based on people that will judge us.
(20:45-21:08) You have the ability to make a change in a moment. You have a lifetime to stay stuck and thatās not who you are. If you donāt like where you are, you donāt feel like your body, when you donāt feel and tell your body we going to make some changes. If you can make the right moves and get out of being stuck that one person that you know, Iām not there to help one person, Iām here to help as many as I can.
Vision is the ability to see potential in what others overlook.
Mr. Mark envisions that he can make a difference by helping everyone to change their perspective in life by getting your mind set with everything.
(21:16-21:38) My vision is to really get after and get many people and create programs and products so that people so that they can move forward in life so they stop making excuses so we come together as a world, not just a country, as a world. Because what if we thought that we have one day left, will we judge somebody or we love somebody?
(22:33-22:53) We just started a podcast channel. Itās called Hit your mindset. Get your mind set. Set, for what? Everything! Everything you know even at the book Creating the life that you want. I give it to people. The reason that I give to people because I donāt want to them to say that Should I buy? No! Read the one chapter.
(23:44-23-52) Donāt you ever let anybody influence you and take your mind from you. You have the ability and youāre capable to decide on how you want to live. Stay away from negative people.

FWEP00041 Suzanne Nguyen
Having a positive influence on other peopleās lives is a blessing.
Ms. Suzanne used Meerkat as her social platform to share her thoughts, insights and share a good influence on her growing followers. Sheās not used to be called an influencer but she realized that many already know her.
(00:57-01:05) Hi, Iām Suzanne Nguyen under the String story. String means I connect to people, time, place and innovation together.
(01:08-01:20) My personal branding String story probably about 6 years but then I discovered a video launching on yourself. I was on me Meerkat about two and a half years ago and since then my people online have grown exponentially.
(02:06-02:25) By accident because Iām just a verbal communicator. I donāt consider myself as an influencer. People call me an influencer and at the end of the day, I just wanna tell, I wanna chit chat about the future. I talk to smart people because I find if I talk to smart people, Iāll learn. I become a better person and understand what the future looks like.
(02:42-02:58) They know you but you donāt know them. Thatās a glam understanding that you become internet famous. And that happened to me when I was walking on the streets of San Francisco for the very first time. Walking down Marquetry and a person messaged me on Instagram.
Media-friendly content has influence.
Ms. Suzanne was not really expecting that her branding will get attention to the netizens. She shared her activities as she traveled to some countries.
(03:19-03:39) A person who has self-awareness. A woman has like understanding of the power of feminity or the fabulousness like you said. And when they understand that they have like a strong sparkle inside them like I want women that sparkles like you sparkle when youāre in camera.
(04:02-04:33) I think what I did, what people do they have too many options on not to focus enough. But when you realize that you have organized fried chickens parties because thatās part of my branding. When I was in America I did like mini virtue and I went to Ape and cities and organized every city that I went to had like fried chicken parties like individuals or people.
(05:54-06:17) I think itās because I realized at the end of the day when we think about it, distribute down to the subjective call of things. I have a format branding and you would take it as well. Your brand equals your vision, your values plus your visuals like has to be strong visuals and your voice. And when you all have these 4 Vās in place then you have a brand.
The most beautiful accessory is confidence.
Be yourself. Do not be intimidated by other peopleās opinions. Just be confident and do amazing things. Ms. Suzanne was asked why she is confident enough to share whatās on her mind.
(06:38-06:56) People always ask me, how do you become confident in front of the camera. I didnāt realize that I have a surely strong story. But people kept asking me more questions so I think what you need to realize like you have your own perspective of things. People really wanna know your points about things.
(07:09-07:42) Practice makes perfect. Originally I didnāt like my face as well. Actually, when people call me cute I get angry. Your face and your voice is an advantage. No one has your voice, no one has your perspective and your thinking. No one has your face. Just realize that your story has value, your voice has value and you start to believe in yourself.
(08:13-08:26) The Start-up show is one of my clients. Iāve been able to travel around the world as a freelance because a lot of people want valuable content so that the Startup show is one of my clients that pays me on a retainer basis to create valuable content.
A brand is worth it if it connects to the people in a relevant way.
We can never deny that social media brought power to each individual to share opinions, ideas and even experiences that inspire other people. Ms. Suzanne defined what is influencing her.
(09:12-09:25) I donāt think influence is a key to inspire people to do an action. You can inspire one person to realize that they can make a difference and network are important for me because I like connecting people.
(10:13-10:36) Find your passion. If you could do it every day that would inspire you to wake up and feel joy then thatās already a win for you. If you could do something like that every day just finds that passion and by finding that passion and monetize. If you know how to monetize your passion, you become successful before you even realize it.
(11:30-11:38) I think when I started treating myself like a product. When youāre like a brand, and there are two ways of doing brands.
You get what you worked hard.
Ms. Suzanne shared her life advice and money matters that will help us to be who we wanted to be.
(14:13-14:25) We all have an emotional relationship with money. Asking for money is something a lot of people do and know how to do it. But thatās a step of an entrepreneur right? Asking for money, being paid for money, paying on time, looking up paying full.
(15:05-15:16) Work hard and then like, sleep a lot after work. Because I have so much information so I need time so that my brain will digest.

FWEP00040 Mada Seghete
How was Madaās journey?
They have failed on their previous projects but not giving up is the key to reach success. They connected their project to a video game, where you can have not only one life but seeing a poster in their office with only one heart that made them work differently according to Mada.
Today we have a really special guest and she is Mada Seghete and sheās the co-founder of Branch. Branch powers deep linking and mobile attribution for 35,000+ of the most advanced apps in the world.
(1:56-2:18) We really wanted to build something and one of the most important things that you can build as start-up founder is a team, and we realized that we were very different as co-founders and have very complementary skills so we decided to stay together and keep trying.So we keep failing and trying out new things and Branch was gonna be the last one.
(3:07-3:10) I spend a lot more time eventualizing than my co-founders do.
(3:18-3:51) I run the marketing team so I travel a lot and speak about branch. The way I built influence is really through just getting to know things really in depth and writing about it, trying to speak about it things and finding areas so I can become an expert in telling others about it. So when I write articles I try to never write things that are superficial by going depths of certain areas and thatās kind of trying to become a thought leader in the mobile world.
(3:58-4:27) Instead of learning about everything by a little bit about this and a little bit about that I try to pick areas, for example, I do a lot of talks on virality and referrals and so I went and I research a lot and I know a lot on how to make something viral. So instead of going and knowing everything about how to promote your app, I donāt know letās say as much as paid advertising but I know a lot about organic so I picked one area and I just learned so much about it versus trying to be generous.
How do you lead?
Being part of the team and as a leader is not just an easy task, sheās also taking part of the pieces and doing some of the ground work.
(4:31-4:53) Everyone has different leadership styles minus based on leading by example so I think itās if thereās things that no one else can do I try to take more on my teammates and I do my best to find ways than I can show people that I can work as hard and harder than them.
What resources and tools you use to grow your start-up?
(5:40-6:04) So I lead the marketing team, so one of the ways we grew awareness of branch is by building these communities around the world for the mobile growth communities and we have meet-ups in 55 cities around the world about 25 thousand people have come to our events. There has been like community has been one of the tools, we have content marketing has been amazing for us, we write a lot so we become experts in different areas.
How do you grow your community?
According to Mada, think of the community first. Think of the needs of the community and not your needs, why are they there and what are they trying to get out of it?
(7:14-7:53) You put really good content. So we have a recipe how to do successful meet-ups we bring really interesting people to talk we convince them by, once you do a big events you show people how Iāve done this big event come and check it out and itās easier to convince people to come and once youāve done it with event people will come back and they'll tell their friends about it so itās really about focusing on the quality and putting the community first so not trying to oversell and we donāt talk too much about branch itās all about the need of the community and not about our needs.
(8:32-8:40) To really understand what is the purpose of your community and what is in need you are trying to solve?
(8:50-9:05) We knew that thatās what they were looking for so we make sure that we always bring them quality advice but every community is different. So making sure you understand their actual need do not what your vision is.
(9:18-9:43) Just try it out, if you fail the first time itās okay. Just keep building. Donāt be afraid to fail if you see people that want your product be humble donāt think that you know better than your customers and make sure that if you feel that the market is telling you that your ideas not quite right, Donāt be afraid to completely quit and start something new.
How do you cope with emotions of failure?
Let go of something that is not working and if you fail, accept it. Start doing something new and learn from your failure.
(10:13-10:31) Very hard, Iāll be honest, I donāt think I could be able to give up my co-founder Alex our CEO, was a lot better than me at saying no this is not working and one of my biggest learning from working with him has been to be able to let go of projects. So Iām a lot better now.
(10:46-10:53) Itās probably the biggest advice I have to every entrepreneur. Donāt get too attached to an idea be okay admitting that itās failing and start something new.
(11:06-) Failure is just a step in the best of success.

FWEP00039 Karena Belin
It is better to lift up people than look at them.
We rise by lifting other people thatās what WHub do for start-ups. They provide resources for those who need and want it. Ms. Karena explained further what WHub does.
(01:05-01:20) Iām Karena Belin. Iām the co-founder of WHub. We are a community that has the passion to help start-ups grow and scale their business and therefore, you need resources so thatās what we do. We connected to the resources you need to grow and scale your business.
(01:25-01:53) Well actually, itās the typical story. There is a problem that you started feeling really passionate about. We, my co-founder and me, had friends that were entrepreneurs and they were always desperately looking for talent. Now, if you look back at the year 2013, the Hongkong start-up system and ecosystem was relatively small and self centered and it was really lacking for somebody to open it up, drive feasibility and help them recruit so thatās why we came in.
(02:08-02:30) We cover over 1500 start-ups and more likely, more than half of the ecosystem here in Hongkong. The total community is over 10,000 because it includes passionate talent, it includes the investors, acceleration and co-working, programs and spaces and hopefully grow more and more and also get people from outside Hongkong interested.
(02:38-02:54) Yeah, exactly! The Hongkong government just recently did a study and set their 1926 start-ups here in Hongkong and there are probably more than 2000 even. But yeah, I think we can confidently say that we cover more than half of the ecosystem probably around two-thirds.
Outstanding people has an absolute mission.
WHub has a mission and passion to help start-ups on becoming a successful entrepreneur. This is what Ms. Karena elaborated.
(03:07-03:31) Well, I donāt know what makes us amazing. Our mission and passion is our tagline Start up Passion and the W comes actually from Why, the W of WHub. We are big fans of Simon Sinek which is gold and circle in his talk about Starting with Why. We believe that the most important asset an entrepreneur has is passion, his mission and his team.
(03:51-04:12) Iām originally from Germany. My better half is probably definitely French because my husband and my co-founder are both French and I studied in Germany and in France then traveled to Asia already over 10 years ago. Because I lived 7 years in Japan and 6 years in Hongkong now. I totally fell in love with Asia.
(04:22-04:48) In a day to day context, I do speak English, German and French. I do understand a little bit of Italian and I do have to admit I really tried to learn Japanese and Chinese and probably get some survival sentences out there but I think in my second life, I would really love to learn more Asian languages.
Be the kind of woman that you wanted to be.
Define your goal, do the action and make it happen. Everyone is powerful and can make a change whether youāre a man or woman. Ms. Karena shared her insights as a female entrepreneur.
(05:10-05:31) One of my challenges is what to answer in your question about, what is difficult in being a female entrepreneur. I donāt really feel or regard myself as a female entrepreneur. I just happened to have a lot of passion and energy in trying to make change happen. I am a woman at the same time so that makes me qualified to be a female entrepreneur.
(05:45-05:59) I would love too! I mean, we say that we believe in the power of meaningful connection and I think thatās totally true of connecting different ecosystems with each other because they are obviously complementary from the opportunities, from the promise that are people solving, and from the resources.
(06:33-06:56) Well the advice again is probably gender neutral. First of all, just go out and try. Follow your passion. Donāt let you get held back by your own paradigms and fears. Second thing is something I would love to quote from my co-founder, Karen, who once came up and said , we should listen to everyone but make up our own mind
Women are also determined to rise.
WHub aims to be known worldwide and it is possible having women behind that. Ms. Karena shared their vision for WHub.
(07:21-07:41) Ideally, I would love to see WHub making an impact to start-ups around the world. Itās really gonna help start-ups to make meaningful connections to the right people, at the right time, to the right resources. We have recently seen that there are more and more corporates that are interested, genuinely finding ways to collaborate and push agendas forward.
(08:29-08:49) We recently expanded our connections to make sure that our start-ups can connect and meet with investors because obviously talent is one resource you need. You first have to have, a somehow complete team in placed to the built and execute on the prototype. Start fundraising but money is the other big part that you need in compounded time.
(09:03-09:15) One of the things is obviously and thatās coming back to what we do is we showcase the ecosystem creating that visibility and know how to educate about the opportunities that are here so that actually, they come to you rather than having you reach out to them.
(09:16-09:23) And then the other thing is continuously driving these opportunities also in offline events and in strategic partnerships.
(09:56-10:11) So the visibility to WHub , I would say, is to know about the ecosystem. Itās the fundamental pillar of the business model in solving the problem. So again when we started in 2013, I think one of the things that ecosystem was lacking somebody driving the visibility.
(10:34-10:53) One part of it gonna depend where you are based and your context. But Hongkong is relatively small so you can definitely leverage offline tools. You donāt have to hack only online. At the end of the day, I still believe we are all humans and with human touch and connection is important.

FWEP00034 Laura Andersen
Are women capable in doing business?
Being in the industry of business requires a lot of quality to be able to be enough. Laura wanted to share to the world that every woman can do amazing things and has a huge opportunity in the business world.
(2:47- 3:16) Honestly, more than half of Shopify merchants are women, and I will say that thereās a very small percentage of women who are actually inspiring other women to be entrepreneurs and so we recognized that thereās a need for more women partners, we need more women in the business, creating campaigns for women, marketed to women and we recognized that thereās a huge business opportunity there.
(4:11-4:32) This is my dream job, and the reason this my dream job is I know some incredible women who are just capable of so many amazing things and theyāre not only capable but theyāre accomplishing amazing things. Being from a background affiliate marketing unfortunately, the large majority are men.
(5:05-5:22) I want more women to have the freedom to choose how they spend their career , what they do for a living. I want women to be in choice of how they earn money, what business is they wanna pursue and you know, have the tools available to them to make that happen.
Shopifyās partnership with Soul Rich Woman
Laura shared to us how happy they are in the partnership with Soul Rich Woman. She stated that she was so excited about it because she knows that both partners can provide a stronger community together.
(5:39-6:20) So weāre really excited to say that we have recently partnered with Soul Rich Woman. We are so excited about this partnership, for a number of reasons but one in particular is that itās a really strong community of women within South East Asia all over Asia and all over the world but being able to actually partner with amazing networks of people such as Soul Rich Woman is a huge opportunity for Shopify and personally I just represents such an incredible shift in our industry to be able to create meaningful new campaigns for the world.
(7:11-7:21) You learn so much, you learn things that you donāt even plan to learn. And if you have that hunger and that curiosity to always want to learn from the people around you just get better all the time.
What is Shopify and itās purpose?
Laura shared the use of shopify and how to do it. She stated It was developed and it was built to help individuals get into commerce and do that and have that power in their own hands.
(9:01-9:22) Itās a platform that enables entrepreneurs to sell. So I compare it to setting up your facebook profile. So easy, you input your details, it prompts you, what you want your profile to look like but then youāre actually the one who creates what you post, what you publish, what you share with the world.
Key Takeaways:
Every women has a good opportunity in the business
Women are valued
Everyday is a learning experience
No one is perfect
We can do amazing things in life

FWEP00038 Arimbi Nimpuno
Today we have a special guest. Her name is Chef Arimbi Nimpuno. She is a celebrity chef in Jakarta, Indonesia, a very well-known one. And she also serve on this amazing community with the skills as emcee, host of this event organized by Loaf Singapore.
Working together is SUCCESS.
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. Ms. Arimbi and her team shared that out from their different skills and ideas, they work as one.
(02:16-02:39) My name is Arimbi. I am a mother of four and I am a chef. I have been a professional chef since 2009. I am with these guys and they are a lot of fun to be with. They are very very creative and we work everything up until the last minute.
(02:54-03:26) Itās been a very very amazing experience. Each project has its own challenges and stuff but this one I think is the most challenging as we work in a boost track kind of thing. It kinda gave us a new experience, new views, a new way of handling things that plays an important role for us to grow our positive capability and skill.
(03:48-04:16) I think the most important thing is to have a good sense of humor and to have a very good understanding of each other because weāve known each other for quite a while now. I think the most important thing is to be grateful for everything that weāre learning. Every obstacle, every challenge there we just take it āOkay, letās just do this. What do you think?ā.
We grow when we face challenges.
We must strive for never-ending improvement and though life gives us a lot of challenges that we face in our everyday lives, we should take it positively. Kevin, as being the youngest chef in the year 2010 mentioned:
(04:20-04:43) But for me, as Gupta said, this is very challenging but itās the most fun cooking experience ever because we work in a quite restricted environment but a traditional one and it feels like home. This is so nice because we are able to cook just about traditional innovation food but some twisted experience.
(04:59-05:14) I was one of the 1st seasons of Masterchef Indonesia in 2010. And at that time I was also the youngest in Asia actually. Because in Asia itās just only India and Indonesia.
(05:41-06:26) For us, perhaps is the ice cream because we need to make the ice cream without an ice cream machine. We need to figure out the way to freeze the ice cream basil. We drove to Singapore to find dry ice suppliers. But I think every dish that we made have their own challenges because we are using the local ingredients, local equipment so I think, yes, it was very fun.
(06:40-06:59) We are always looking for challenges for sure. I mean, me and Prima, has been working together in this ice cream thingy about 4 years and we are always open for a chance for us to grow our skill and capacity.
Food, as our common ground.
Good food brings us into a good mood. Ms. Arimbi, together with her team, sliced their favorite food.
(07:23-07:48) I like to eat everything basically. In terms of favorite food, in the earlier stages of my career, I went for the Indonesian style you know. I went for the really out of the box food but now I think, me personally, I will go at grass food. I like to taste and experience the real taste of the ingredients itself.
(07:56-08:15) For me, I like everything organic because organic is really good. It is expensive but at the end of the day, you gonna admit that organic taste more organic.
(08:21-09:04) Mine will be maybe Indonesian food. We have different varieties of tropical fruits and ingredients. Maybe Padang food, all of Indonesia but for me, anything that is edible. I like everything that is out of the box. The thing is that quite makes me WOW.
It is going to be hard but hard does not mean IMPOSSIBLE.
Successful people are not gifted. They worked hard for it. Ms. Arimbi and her team shared life advice to become successful at the right time.
(09:44-10:24) I think you have to have the endurance for sure because ours is not a glamorous world that you see on television. It takes a quirky mind. You gotta be quick, you gotta be prepared in all kinds of situations and conditions. You gotta prepare for everything. Donāt take it too hard on yourself. I think thatās the most important thing you fail and you get up again. Have fun with it.
(10:35-10:55) Iāve been working as a professional for about 20 years or 25 years. But to me, the most important thing is passion. Finding your passion is the paramount thing to do. You donāt become a chef because thatās the trend but because you love cooking.
(11:05-11:17) Just be courageous and donāt be afraid to break out of your comfort zone and try new things in being a chef.
(11:21-11:47) The most important thing is to have the attitude of being humble. Then, please remember that each and every one of us has a process of learning. We cannot be someone, in an instant. You need, perhaps go to culinary school and have to learn for 4 or 5 years in another restaurant. Finding a good mentor is mandatory because the mentor can give you what he got from the previous mentor.

FWEP00037 Bhudi Wayan
Dreams donāt happen unless we start to action it now.
The things we do in the present molds and shapes our future. Ms. Budi pointed that out.
(01:30-01:59) It is fast because thatās what I want to do. I think a lot because of sometimes stress in the environment but I heal it with nature activities. After I learn it for many years, thereās no point to check on so much stress. It is better to do it instead of thinking about it.
(02:08-02:23) I learn it myself because when I keep thinking it is not useful like just keep thinking and not doing it and thereās no result so better just do it and enjoy it.
(03:31-03:53) I tried to budget my money as much as I can so I manage the money for the portion for the building, a portion for my kidsā school, portion for the family, a portion for the maintenance of the house, the villas so I tried.
(04:30-04:58) I met him 12 years ago and he crashed my motorcycle. The time when I met him, I was 19, and Iām about to buy my motorcycle. My motorcycle was very new then he crashed it. And he tried to hide the crashed motorcycle.
(07:00-07:34) I learned to do accounting on my own from tutorials. When I was working years ago, thereās no computer so I learned on my own, by myself and by asking knowledgeable persons.
Push yourself because no oneās gonna do that for you.
For us to become who we wanted to be, we should try new things and push ourselves out from our normal boundaries. Ms. Budi shared the times when she pushed herself into her limits.
(07:52-08:19) It took a while to be able to have something. When I was young my mother always taught me if I make 100 thousand Rupiah, I have to save 50% of it. So every time I make money, I have to save 50% of it to use it in achieving my dreams.
(08:43-09:08) Food is very important, buying healthy food and supporting the kidsā activities is also important. I still use the money for fun but not using just to use it. I donāt go to shopping malls that often.
(09:25-09:50) Iām thinking about 5 years later that it will be much expensive so I tried doing it now, forced myself for 5 years from now all materials and the working fee will be much higher so Iām doing it now.
(09:55-10:39) Sometimes, as a human being, there are times you tell yourself that itās not gonna work or I donāt like it and maybe there is deserving instead of investing. I started and bought the land and started to get the workers and because itās a long process sometimes I forced myself to keep on doing it and keeping the excitement.
It takes sweat, determination, and perseverance to make our dreams into reality.
All our dreams will come true if we have the courage to pursue them. Yes, itās gonna be a long process but everything will be worth it at the right time like Ms. Budi did in her life.
(10:50-10:54) To be motivated, I got to see the progress and be grateful. So learn to enjoy the process.
(11:33-11:50) I have two boys that I need to support. In marriage, you still need things with fun together. Now, I learn not to rely so much on my husband.
(12:58-13:31) First, we need to be grateful. Be grateful for the things that we have. Move forward with the dream that we wanted to have. Start eating healthy food. Have enough sleep because it helps us to think better. Donāt compare our life to other people.

FWEP00036 Ni Wayan Bhudiarti
Women vs Culture?
Since then, it was used that women will just be at the house taking good care of the family and providing meals for the family. But as time goes by, women have been diverse in the world of business. Ms. Budi said:
(01:59-02:31) Few people are common but most women have been married and been a housewife because of the culture and they have to take care of the kids and everything so yeah, for me, when I was a child I grew up in not a rich family and I didnāt go to university. I only run until senior high school.
(02:39-03:15) I have many siblings so I didnāt much get from my parents. I have four brothers and four sisters because my mom could not use anything. She tried to use so that she canāt have many kids and she got so sick so she just accepted the kids as Godās gift.
(04:20-04:43) Now itās getting common with this modern life. The generation now is more like focusing on school and a happy career, not like 15 years ago itās not that much.
Dream big and aim that dream to be your reality.
In our younger years, we have people that we look up to and we envision ourselves to be like them in the future. This is what Ms. Budi shared as she flashback her childhood years.
(05:29-06:24) In the beginning, I didnāt think that I want villas. I just want to have my own house. We just kept on doing the business so we were able to save money and able to buy some lands and credit at that time. But now itās already paid off.
(06:35-06:58) When I was a child, I was surrounded by business people and it inspired me to be a businesswoman. I learn how to make my own money when I was 7 years old because my mom taught me.
(07:22-07:47) When Iām in the process of building Tradewind villas, 6 minutes away from Bhutan itās called Peaceful Villa which is surrounded by nature, water sound and much water fountains.
Simple life out of extravagant life status.
Financial independence makes us able to buy all the luxuries in the world. But we should not forget where we started and with this independence, we should be able to help with the poor ones. Ms. Budi mentioned:
(08:28-09:07) My life here, I donāt really go to supermalls and buy expensive clothes and everything. I dreamt that I wanna have my own business so I donāt rely on somebody for financial needs. And also I can help people around by hiring people to work with me so they have jobs.
(09:23-09:38) We are blessed and we keep on trying and we didnāt give up and less on buying unimportant stuff and just be focused on achieving that dream.
(10:45-10:55) We are teaching our children to never give up and keep on trying. Failure is an experience and it is a lesson.

FWEP00035 Simone Heng
Ignite your passion and pursue what excites you!
(1:22-1:35) You know itās funny, I think I wanted to be a speaker from a very young age but I always like, that is your post entertainment career job like I always knew that after entertainment this would all I would do.
(1:49-2:08) Thereās no way if you donāt pick up, you know, read a blog or listen to a podcast that you donāt realize that thereās a huge distractive shift that is happening in old media. I couldnāt ignore it anymore and I was like I want to be part of the new wave. I think I always did a kind of no, it was about the timing.
(2:23-3:07) I think I was definitely exposed to thought leaders all throughout my life, I think I chose to ignore some of the really good advice from thought leaders than just being young and a bit vacuous. I donāt know if itās about that I am always aware that that industry existed but I didnāt know much information about the industry and that took a lot of work. Cause you have to learn an industry before you just jump into it. One big piece of advice if you canāt live doing a full-time hassle and youāre thinking about living for your side hassle, a speaker that you know actually Eric Feng told me that this is the best advice ever, Eric said to me Simone, do not leave your full-time hassle for your part-time hassle until your part-time hassle is earning more than your full-time job.
What are the challenges you faced?
(3:28-3:38) I think, firstly because of the line of work that you have gone into my first issue is that Iām a minority female speaker and I look quite young for my age.
(3:57-4:16) I actually found that there are a lot of Singaporean event organizers, conference organizers who are female who wanna see another Asian female on stage and thatās the sisterhood. So theyād actually, really helped me get paid speaking gigs in the last 5 months. Because they also want to see a change too which is fantastic.
What are the strategies you can give to the thought speaker?
(4:40-4:57) I think firstly, especially if youāre working a full-time job and you want to be a better speaker youāre so blessed in the year 2019 you can order a whole range of incredible public speaking books online. I literally did this for 2 years on the side of my radio because I wanted to learn and to be the best speaker I could be.
(5:26-5:43) If you donāt have a big budget and youāre just starting out and you have an interest you can do that. Following day, you can employ a public speaking coach and there are a lot on the market. Iām one of them too, I do it but I donāt really publicize itās just that is a side thing to help people and they can really give you the spoke help.
(6:25-6:40) My third tip would be, be thirsty for knowledge. Just start putting that seed or that gold in your head and itās really interesting once you do that the universe will conspire to find your positions and places where people can help you. So just have that gold in your mind.
Why did you choose to focus on this area?
(7:06-7:28) Firstly, Iāve only just entered the human connections space so please understand Iām like a student of this. I literally studied this and that means that I donāt do it perfectly a hundred percent at a time but I literally go out and interview people whom I believe a public human connections superheroes. So people who donāt get to predict that connections spaces therein.
(9:26-10:00) The 2020 goal is to write the human connection book and itās going to take a lot of time I think Iām actually talking to some book writing coaches right now, cause I really donāt know the first thing. I know I can write so I did a communications degree and some professional writing units in university but when youāre submitting for the format for the book and all that kind of stuff Iām not really clear. So Iāve peg that as my goal for this year to write a book featuring the case studies of these incredible people that I interviewed and the takeaways that I get from them.
How do you manage your routine?
(10:37-10:57) I think Iāve got the lovely help of this incredible virtual assistant in Manila and sheās from a fantastic social media start-up course of connected women where it gives jobs to highly educated Filipino women who want to be close to their family so she can work remarkably and help me at my stuff so that helps.
(12:33-12:47) I can tell you that this is something I think about so much because first you know, I take it lightly and secondly I think thereās a huge change in consciousness now, where people who have a platform do not want to put on nothing into the space.
(13:07-13:46) Hereās the other thing as well that generating influence is a very lonely space like I am probably very different to most women in that I donāt have this gene in me that I feel that self promotion is a dirty word. So Iāve never had this thing I kind of promote and market like a man and itās a very lonely place to be in, because gradually around the world and even more so in Asia as Asian women it is not further this attractive likeable for a woman to put herself out there and sell herself. But then here to tell you honey, that changes weāve seen force me to in the UK, in America, North America as a continent fort down eventually to get to Asia.
(13:47-14:34) Well this will no longer be a Stigma and Iām just here to say that I started this before anyone else. Like I just donāt have that fear. As much as gradually, Iām very Asian. The one that really Western about me is that I donāt feel that itās dirty to promote and I know sometimes itās not likeable to everyone but hereās the thing about being a brand, people cannot be apathetic about you so either a lash proportion is a big turn off, they donāt like, itās too much for them, too in their face, Okay! Iām sorry I cannot please everyone. You cannot please everyone. The worst thing you can do is worry your brand down and be vanilla. I have people feel no emotional connection or no reaction to you, donāt care about that!
(14:34-15:14) You speak to the people who need you and thatās how I sit. I speak to the women who want to be financially independent, who donāt want to be Taytays. The women who are driven by purpose and passion, who are not driven by money. They are the women that I speak to. I speak to the women whoād say itās okay to be a bookworm but also wears sexy clothing, thatās okay. I speak to those women who go there and no limits or barriers. I donāt have to categorize myself and weāre a little bit behind here in Asia with that like weāre still culturally, there is categorization I think everyone in my Asian female coaching clients has a story about being told by an auntie or a mother, Pssh be quiet! Donāt be so loud! Donāt speak up!
(15:15-15:36) I mean, I grow up like that as well. In order to push out entire gender forward, we have to let a little bit of that go. Iām not saying everyoneās gonna be outspoken as me or as public as you Genecia, thatās not for everyone that in order for us to increase gender equality in Southeast Asia, we have to be a little bit okay and letting that go.
(16:00-16:11) A soul rich woman is someone who lives with passion and authenticity. And I think thereās a level of bravery source hearing that. Soul rich woman just has a little bit less fear than the average woman.
(16:26-16:57) Itās not going to be easy. I recently had one of my best friends. I found out that, it kinda did one of my independent women instagram post and I found that this girl whom I consider one of my best friends which having a real rant about it. And that was really hard, that broke my heart a little bit so know that being a soul rich woman can also lead to falling to the side of some people who might not share your views and your bravery, thatās also okay as we grow and evolve.
(17:03-17:11) You can go to my website simoneheng.com and Iām also at all social media, everywhere. Probably, too much!
(17:20-17:44) I just wanna say, with Genecia said, current. You know, this is one thing I learn from social media very early on, nobody cares what you used to be and what you used to do. Everyone is obsessed with what you are doing right now and what you are about to do and thatās really sad, with the world that we live in and I know that is but if you want to market your small medium enterprise or your personal brand as a business, you have to relink and we should accept that fact.
(18:09-18:40) Oh gosh, you know I have a client form Switzerland, Asian female living in Switzerland. Sheās incredible and we let her spend one whole hour of coaching just to get her post one Linkedin post and sheās incredible. That fear of what people think is so great and I just wanna tell you here number 1, it is like you could expedite the success of your business by putting your face at the front of it because now people want to identify the human face, the human connection so thatās a fact that we have to accept.
(18:41-19:09) And also you need to accept that not everybody would love and be at peace with you in general, in life or even online so why not do it anyway? People are gonna say something whether you donāt do it or whether you do it. People always got something to say so the view of people, having opinions about you is holding you back, forget it! Accept and move on and Do it!
(19:13-19:43) It was so hard for me like I had been living behind this veil of different race of Asians having created my brand or having control of my brand and I never really shown authentically who I was so I was just like Xiao Meme, like Hello Kitty like just cute and donāt share my opinions but the thing is exactly what I said, like being vanilla win in the year 2019 because social media, you know, digital business has changed so much. So it cannot compete like that anymore.
(19:57-20:05) Life is not a competition. Life is not a race. You just have to be the best version of you and accept that you are unique and different.
(20:19-20:55) Financial independence! Nobody talks about this enough itās why I agree to do this podcast because listened to me, Iām telling you, the older you get, Iām 35 now, more than the tables I sit around. Most of the stories of separation in marriage and things that come up and one of the biggest regrets those women say after their divorces are that they didnāt put their, if they bought an asset with their husband and that they let him put their name on the lease and they didnāt put their name down or they didnāt set stronger financial goals for themselves because when they were married they kind of went under his wing and let him control everything.
(22:06-22:47) The very first book I read at 23 years of age, I was literally earning nothing and didnāt have employment passport in Singapore. I was like out from modeling agency, this is back early 2000. But I read Robert Kiyosakiās Rich Dad Poor Dad, and I learn about the difference between a property being an asset or being summing that milks your money and it was a very interesting book because it just started me thinking about financial independence like itās an important step to start me thinking about it and then it ended up setting the goal for the next 10 years just by getting that in my head.
(23:19-23:34) So I have a deadline to set it up. I bought a software to create this online community months ago and I was traveling to do it so I pretty much got the logo, itās going to be called Simone says community and Simone says itās got tile quotation, thatās very cute.
(24:40-24:58) These women are having issues that they need another person with the Asian culture background to help remove their confidence issues, bullying issues from the public speaking issues because if you donāt have the confidence or youāve been put down, you then have no confidence to even open your mouth. Let me alone teach you breathing techniques.
(26:50-27:23) Your voice matters. Your opinion matters. Everytime you sit in a meeting, I have seen so many times as working, you know, and you donāt speak up and you say nothing, youāre letting a piece of you die and I know because that happened to me. I was so scared to even open my mouth. There was a time when I had a boss, bullying another female employee. A female boss bullying another female employee and now that I have left, I really regret not to speak out and say Hey, you donāt speak to her like a dog! Thatās is not okay.
(28:01-29:00) Think about authentically who you were as a child. Most of the time when we lose our way and our actions are no longer in sync with our authentic self because life may be hit us with some hard knocks so go back and think about who you were as a little kid. When you were innocent and you didnāt have any auntie telling you to do this and that or any boss telling you to do this and that, who were you as a kid and Iām gonna tell you what that little child dreamt, what that little child wanted. Attack with that energy and sit with yourself in a quiet place and dream big like when you were a child and I swear to you, that will reveal your 2020 goals then if you just sat there in your space right now with your phone going off, with your kids screaming, really remember the biggest awakening for me was remembering who I was when I was a kid and manifesting that innocence, that joy when I was goal setting really works.

FWEP00033 Yolanda Martinez
Are women powerless?
Ms. Yolanda shared how she had seen her mother being abused and powerless because of an abusive husband. This strengthens her belief even being a child on what life she would like to have when she grows up and what type of person she wants to welcome her life.
(00:57-01:16) Today we have someone really empowering, superwoman, power speaker her name is Yolanda and right here in Singapore, we are so honored to have her here to be able to hear her message of what sheās been speaking to the women worldwide. Welcome, Yolanda!
(01:21-01:47) Well, first of all, I work with my husband Mark Husic. We traveled for the last 11 years doing his show and speaking events but Iāve also had the opportunity to speak and share a little bit about my message and up until about what probably a year ago Iāve had this vision of wanting to speak to women in owning your power and taking it back and stop being a victim.
(02:21-03:03) I grow up with an abusive father who is an alcoholic and who always used to abuse my mom, never the kids but my mom. And I always thought like she always felt powerless when then retrospected to that she was more powerful than she thought and so I, at a very young age decided that that wasnāt who I was gonna be and so I think from the age of 14, I constantly told myself what kind of relationship I wanted to have when I was older, what kind of person I wanted in my life, what kind of person I was not going to allow in my life.
Dreaming Big and Making that dream real.
As a child, we intend to visualize what we wanted to be in the future. We may have dreams, aspirations, and goals even at a young age but how persistent are we to make these dreams into reality? As shared by Ms. Yolanda:
(03:04-03:30) And so when I got to modeling, it was all because Iād loved fashion and so my mother was the one that side all the documents because my dad was against it and so, at the very young age I knew what I wanted to do and I just pursued it until I accomplish. I wanted to be a teacher so I taught for 10 years. The modeling was always key in my life, the fashion, the shows.
(03:32-04:08) When I got into modeling full time I did, I was always the one to have a big bag with extra makeup, extra shoes, extra panyos so whenever anybody needed anything, I was the girl two-person so I never thought like I was like in competition with anyone. When you're doing a fashion show, youāre there to showcase the fashion, youāre not there to compete, youāre not gonna win anything at the end of the day so I never felt like I was competing against them. I always thought that the show would be so much better if we just work together so thatās why if somebodyās needed something, I always had it handy.
(04:35-05:00) I came from a very young age of knowing, I was a migrant worker from the time I was 7 until I was 17 and so I knew that, that wasnāt my life, I knew that was just a job that I had to do in order to buy my own school supplies and my own school clothes so I never took that identity of what I was doing because there was something more than I wanted to do.
Love, how to keep this burning?
As we get older, life gives more challenges and with these, love and support from friends and from your partner in life are essential to keep us going. Ms. Yolanda mentioned how to keep this relationship alive and kicking.
(05:34-05:55) Rituals? I really donāt do rituals. I constantly look at myself not from others point of view but myself so when I look at myself, how do I feel about myself is it positive or negative.
(06:30-06:51) Yes. I have friends based on what kind of friend I am so if Iām not a very good friend, I know that the people around me are not gonna be good friends that I could depend on.
(07:51-08:17) Well, this is our first time in Singapore so we came a few days early so that we could go out and explore together because we have never been here so we went out and did things together to get the same view in the city of this beautiful place together. Weāve explored new and even places that heās been to that I havenāt. When we explore it together, itās totally a different feel when you go and do it by yourself.
(09:03-09:29) I think because he is a good listener and I am very vocal about what I am feeling, I think it helps to have someone that knows where youāre coming from because he knows the mindset, he knows about women and men being so different. That he is able to listen to what I am feeling something even it is a gut feeling about someone that I donāt wanna be around, heāll listen.
What others see from you should be different in how you see yourself.
It is what you believe, what you want and how you see yourself matters the most. You should be the influencer of a positive attitude and aura. Ms. Yolanda shared:
(10:06:10:20) I think the key is knowing who you are, you gotta know who you are and you gotta know that when you show up somewhere, show up 100%. Donāt show up saying Oh maybe, Iāll sit and see what happens here.
(11:06-11:30) Always talk to yourself in a positive way. It doesnāt matter if you had a bad night or you got a nap and itās early and youāre not ready to get up. I know Robbinsās book itās called 5-second rule so you have 5 seconds to decide, are you gonna get out of bed or you gonna lay at bed whole day because thatās all it takes, it takes 5 seconds for you to make that change in your life.
(11:44-12:14) The last point I think is donāt play into societyās vision of who you are. Too many times, with all those traumatic things happened in our past, in our childhood, in our teens, it doesnāt matter when you give someone when you give something that power, you donāt have the power then. Youāre giving it away so take your power back. Donāt let society dictate who you are.
Women are as powerful as men.
Women and men should not be competing on who is more powerful. We can go hand by hand on helping society and future children. Ms. Yolanda explained:
(12:30-12:50) Right now, Iāve got a program that Iāve put together and itās for women and itās about confidence, itās about mindset and itās about owning who you are so itās called 21 days with Yolanda. You go on the website 21dayswithyolanda.com. So, we have a facebook page that they could go on.
(14:06-14:30) I think online itās easy because you could portray anything. You could say anything. My thing is, we need to disconnect ourselves from being online so much and connect ourselves back to society and so one of the things I talk about in my program is put down your phones and go up and meet people.
(16:58) I think anyone that steps into themselves and feels great about themselves that reflection will be given to everybody whether its female or male. I used to work at conventions and the people I used to work with, clients, will always tell me when you walk into the convention center itās like everybody stops because of the way that you walk in like really? I just walked in and like, no, itās the way you present yourself when you walked in.
(18:56-19:20) Well, they should all get together and every day will gonna be different. You canāt say Iām fabulous today and tomorrow when you wake up you are cranky and not feeling good about yourself so you canāt play that role every day but if you have financial independence, all those things will just fall into its place
(21:51-22:16) Right now youāre not a victim because of whatever happened is not happening to you right now so own the fact that you are still here and youāre still able to influence others. As well as help other women that have been situations that you had. Be aware that you didnāt wake up one day saying you gonna procrastinate and hold them my life.

FWEP00032 Dr. Kamakshi Jindal
In this episode we have a very special guest, she is Dr. Kamakshi Jindal she is known as a Celebrity Fashion Stylist, Trend Identifier, Image Makeover Coach, and Event Curator. She is also the Executive Director and partner in Aesthetics International and Founder of Aesthetics International Council for Progressive Women. She is also the Vice-Chairperson of the Asian Chamber of Commerce and Industries. She is the Goodwill Ambassador of Ladies of All Nations International. She is also the founder of World of Talent - A National competition for kids comprising of Dance, singing, fashion, junior chef, instrumental, poetry, theatre, etc. She is also the founder of Aesthetics trends and grooming Academy, which is affiliated to Singapore and Brazil.
How Dr. Kamakshiās journey started
Dr. Kamakshi shared with us how her journey as a fashion stylist started. Her journey really proves that thereās no impossible if you work hard for it.
(02:32- 2:48) My journey started when I started garments nationally in India. Fashion styling has been my passion since childhood gradually Iām collaborating with my brother and together we are doing a couple of events.
(3:04-3:25) I am actively working for all-round development for females who are actively involved in the business, education, service, or social endeavors. Iām doing this as it is my regime and mission to see women getting empowered across the globe.
The struggles she encountered
Each of us faces problems in life, but do not let the problem stop you. Every experience has the knowledge to impart to us in the end.
(3:40-4:20) Definitely, everyone faces struggles, and I too, I am also facing and I must say my greatest struggle has been ever dominating male-driven society and all those who cannot take knowledge of women rising beyond prescribed it limits of the society. Actually, I was previously a housewife for 14 years. So a housewife turning in an entrepreneur is not taken positively by the same my society what we can say. So this is the thing I always face as a struggle.
(04:42) My family, my brother and my friends they all help me to overcome this society to motivate me to work and always encouraged me to overcome these struggles and definitely with towards motivating people my hard work and dedication because I want to show this world are the real power of women this is the main motivation which I come with my all friends, my brother, my family and all. These all were with me to motivate all the time.
(5:44-6:07) I would say that my greatest success is the international penetration of my programs. Like if you talk about my shows I do events we are into kids events which include competitions related to singing, fashion, dancing, drawing, instrumental poetry, theaters, and many more which is coming on national TV also.
(6:46-7:27) When I launched my Aesthetics International Council for Progressive Women my organization in 2018 I started with the regime to empower women throughout the world and now with the starting of 2020, I could see my dream is fulfilling. Itās my organization as Aesthetics International Council for Progressive Women has spread its a wing for more than 25 countries with fifteen hundred plus numbers. This I think is big I wanted to do, my mission is not yet accomplished but still I could see I would be able to do it definitely.
Business Tips
A woman who has vision knows what she is doing, she empowers women and teaches them to grow more and cross the fence of weakness.
(7:46-8:06) Women should have a realistic vision, they should have a desire to succeed and strong leadership command these are the three tips, business tips I would like to suggest to a woman.
(8:28-8:41) My inner circle always has people who are positive in nature dedicated to the organization's vision and can build of love into leaders.
(9:07-9:17) Power struggles are always there. I have to manage my family, my work in such a way that the mutual egos are satisfied.
(12:21-12:52) Every woman, whoās generating a power who is the power of being a woman who can learn things from others, who is not facing any jealous problem, who can empower other women every woman who is generating power and has crossed the fence all woman I can say are the one.

FWEP00031 Ivy Montgomery
Value and give compliment
Working is not an easy task, you need to give effort, quality and productivity for you to be noticed. But the most important thing when you are working is to be happy with your job. Because when you are happy and you love what you do, you will achieve success.
(2:14-2:50) One of the things thatās part of my management philosophy I always choose people and role where their strength, their passion cross because I think thatās where they do the maximum amount that I put at the state of happiness. So for my leadership standpoint, from the recruitment standpoint I would first start-up with selecting people that really adhere to the wall that they are happy to spend the bulk of their time doing so. Thatās more recruitment leadership.
(3:29-3:55) It is certainly unusual in the sense that Iām in a technology space. Thereās not a lot of it in the US thereās not a lot of leaders in the technology space in the Sea Sweet. And so part of it, itās being used to stand up for yourself. Knowing that what you know deliver results for the company thatās important. And really be authentic.
Woman as a leader
Do not dream about success, but work for it. Always think of positive things in order for you gain the trust and respect of your followers.
(4:13-4:29) Being woman, one of the things, especially after having children, it's your ability to compartmentalization and being extremely efficient at work and so when I think about my day today work each hour I allocated based on what I think is the priority for the day.
(4:56-5:11) If you choose family it does not mean that you are no longer an executive. I think there's a couple things that you need to look at. One, itās choosing a partner who truly respect who you are, this is your life partner and support what you want to be as a person. The second thing itās stand, choose a company that also respect who you are and what you can deliver and the values that you bring to the table and understand that youāre not giving out who you are as far your own personal value. Just to be the hundred percent always at work.
(8:54- 09:08) Find a mentor within the organization as well as outside of the organization. Now that mentor is not necessarily need to be a female, although sometimes it could be helpful for someone who you would like to be years from now.

FWEP00030 Imelda Dagus
In this episode, we have our very special guest her name is Imelda Dagus. She is the Founder of Dennis Coffee Garden and an awardee of inspiring Filipina Entrepreneurs in 2017 and Outstanding ASEAN Women Entrepreneurs in 2018.
How podcast change Imeldaās life
Touching people through your story is a great pleasure you may have in life. Being an inspiration to someone you didnāt know means more.
(00:58-1:50) The podcast impacted my life instantly. I truly agree that a podcast is not only about building online presence but most importantly online credibility. I realized that my message impacted more people that I never thought it could. I even have a friend in high school who commented on my post that I am her idol. This is coming from a lady whom I have never been communicating with for the past 30 years. My son appreciated my efforts to launch a podcast and touch people and he told me that he cried with joy. That is something I never thought that would happen.
(2:06-2:42) One friend also mentioned that what I am doing is a big thing for my generation and some friends are now showing interest in buying my book. On the first day I attended the workshop I actually told Genecia that I wanted to write a book so she offered that I can do a podcast instead. Because it is faster to reach more people and the voice is more powerful than a book. To which I agreed.
(3:04-3:34) But when I realized that I can actually earn more the moment I have built my reputation online, by showing up and having my voice heard people will come to know who I am and what I stand for and people will support me, more people will come to my coffee shop, more people will patronize my book, more people would like to invest with me because they can see how authentic I am.
The importance of support
You should have someone who are there to support you throughout your journey. It will make you build your confidence in inspiring other people by sharing the story of your life.
(4:14-4:34) I am not into a podcast person so I thought I could not do it. But when Genecia explained to me they will support and guide me, my worry disappeared. Having the whole Soul Rich Woman team behind me melted my fears away.
(5:40-6:11) I had fears on the outcome of my podcast, how will people react? Will they be inspired? Or will I be criticized? Those mind freaks we normally face when doing something new for the first time. But because I sincerely believe that I need to get my message across to people who would need to listen to it I took action in spite of fear.
(6:33-6:53) I still went ahead with everything that is coming from my heart. The understanding that I intention is to share and inspire and not to criticize or destroy other people's lives gave me the courage to go out and do the podcast.
Focus on what you love
If you want to be successful on your goal, focus to it. Keep working hard to achieve that success you want to have. It might be hard, but think of why you have started.
(7:27- 7:42) If you want something big and impactful you have to allocate it big energy and big focus to make it happen and you have to set it as your number one priority.
(8:28-9:05) Having your family and friends to support you in what you are doing and giving you the understanding of the journey you wish to embark on is already a great encouragement. Not to mention that having the Soul Rich Woman team is your rocket launcher. Knowing that you have people behind you who will look after your best interest and following up on you so that you will not fall to your little voices that keeps ringing inside your head is a great support.
(10:15-10:39) I also believe that exposure is magic. Now that I have exposed my story, I realized that people are actually appreciating what I did. Had I continued to hide under my fears I would have not touched people's hearts. And most importantly my familyās hearts.

This is Aishah and in this bonus episode weāll be talking about inspire, connect and elevate your online status and brand.
The beginning of journey.
Doing your passion doesnāt mean itās easy. You need to do everything you can to have a good output.
3:12- 3:27 I always knew that I wanted to do a podcast but I didnāt know how to start. But sometimes I thought itās easy just get yourself a microphone and you start recording yourself at home.
4:55-5:06 Knowing that this is something that I really want and this is something that I really want to accomplish I need my concentration, I need to focus.
7:02-7:28 Thatās when I come and refrain myself you know, my mind, and I start saying that I am enough, I can do it. Itās all in me. So for every episodes, there are every episodes that itās easy to me. But some episodes, it takes a while for me to think about what I should be talking about.
Nothing is impossible
In your career, there are people who will discourage you. Donāt entertain them. Instead, be with people who will support you throughout your journey.
7:34-7:52 I think sometimes you just need to put yourself into that situation and in order for you to get the deuces out. Sometimes you canāt really be prepared because when you be prepared youāre so stiff and you don't really get your honesty out.
8:09-8:26 I always thought that my husband will object me to come to Singapore to do all this kind of project and stuff like that, cause he is a man of results, he wants to see results but he is quite supportive of me.
15:31-15:49 I finally see the connection of all my knowledge of all my experience and all my relationship, how they have actually supported me and made me to the woman I am today. (18)
Key Takeaways:
Itās hard in the beginning
Focus on your goal
Be firm and honest
Surround yourself with supportive people
Think positive

FWEP00027 Elisha Tan
In this episode we have a very special guest, her name is Elisha Tan she is best known as the co-founder of TechLadies. A community-led initiative for women in Asia to connect, learn, and grow in the tech industry.
Share Your Story To Inspire, Be Bold To Become Who You Are & Live Your Dreams
If there is something you want to pursue, live with it. Be strong to accomplish it. Sometimes sacrificing is the best to achieve what you dream off. If you succeed, share with others your experience and inspire them to pursue their dream, no matter what.
(01:19-02:14)
I guess, everything was quite a sacrifice. If you want something, you have to give up something. I have sacrificed my life. It is not easy but itās somewhat very rewarding. I do think that if you want to see something happen, you need to hustle.
The beginning of pursuing passion
Sometimes it takes time for us to realize what we want. When we find it, try to grab it immediately. If it fails then try again. Try and try until you finally succeed.
(02:16-02:57)
When I was in between jobs, that was before Facebook, I thought why donāt I just do something that Iām very passionate at. Where does my heart lie? What do I want to see happen in my community? When it started, I wasnāt sure what it was. I just try it, if it fails then letās pretend it didnāt happen. So thatās how it gets started.
(04:00-05:08)
So when I learn how to decode, that when it opens my eyes to the tech community. One thing is that, when you hustle, people respect your real passion and see your hard work. If you meet somebody, they will hate us. There are people whoāll discredit you. There are whoāll think you will not succeed. First of all, you donāt need to shut all of it out. A way for you to grow is to be able to take healthy criticism.
Helping others
Share to others your secrets of how you succeed. Help, empower and inspire them to pursue it.
(06:06-06:28)
I can outsource and help people with technology. That is something I want to do. A lot of people have a passion for giving back, but they donāt know āhowā. So a way for me to do that is to give them a structure, so they can contribute as well. Itās more about asking for help and giving them direction on how they can help.
(08:14-18:26
The good thing is that I donāt have kids, that is my one major thing that is off my plate. That also gives me a chance to learn how to manage my time.
Be authentic, donāt be afraid
One thing you need to learn in life is to be you. Donāt be afraid of what others may say. Help those who need your help.
(10:30-11:03)
What Iāve learned is to be authentic. Show some personality. Let people know you. Because I feel that a lot of people like to hide behind a screen. Let people know you, show your personality. Donāt be rude. Also, be a good person.
(11:38-12:12)
I started blogging about my life. That how I found myself sharing what I believe and what my dreams are. Thatās why I realize there are haters out there. But sharing a story, your supporter gets to know you as well because people starting believe in you and your dreams thatās why they want to help.
(12:21-13:04)
I agree that a lot of women are shy. Theyāre not use in talking about themselves. You can start sharing on your Facebook wall, it does not have to be entirely public, it just be on your wall. Let people know you. Then afterward people get inspired by you, they want to support you.
(13:32-13:50)
Just start somewhere. If you fail, just pretend it didnāt happen. Itās okay to fail, donāt be too hang-up about it.

FWEP00026 Joanne Lee
In this episode, we have our very special guest her name is Joanne Lee. Joanne Lee is a mother of three teenagers, she is also known for being a podcast coach, professional make-up artist, beauty trainer, and leader of excellence of Soul rich woman 2019.
The start of building confidence
If you are starting a business, we cannot deny the fact that there are doubts running in your head. You sometimes think of negative things. But when you start doing your passion and give the best of yourself thatās the moment you will keep on doing what you want.
(1:13- 1:52) This podcast show has not only impacted my life it has also transformed my life completely. It has helped build my online presence and also my online credibility. After launching my podcast I immediately receive inquiries and I have led to follow-up and this is something which I have always been struggling to get ever since I started my business way back three years ago. So now I no longer have to go out to look for my target audience instead they come looking for me.
(1:55-2:15) And so now all the tables have been turning around for me I have many friends who might not be contacted me for a very long time they do direct message me to either congratulate me and also ask me what I was doing. Ask me about my business and if I could speak to them more. They are so interested in what I was doing. They really want to seem successful for themselves.
They got interested in what I do
Itās nice when there are people who are interested in what you are doing. Itās nice to influence other people with good things.
(4:16-4:32) And now, even my children take an interest in what I do. They will listen to my pre-recordings, my podcast, and even say they want to give me some feedback or review of what they think. So this is something very special for me because previously when I was doing all my stuff they are not interested in what I was doing.
(5:04) So they are very interested, they want to make sure they want to help me. So they want to give me advice they want to give me feedback on how I could present myself even better and get more success. So this is really pretty awesome! So when Genecia first propose the idea of podcasting to me I really do not think of what I was in for, so I agree because I trust her.
Nothing is impossible
When you believe in yourself, the impossible becomes possible. Love what you do and give your best to it, it will surely result to success.
(7:41-8:00) Why follow when you can lead? Upon hearing this I understood that nothing bad will happen to me. Sure definitely, you lose some faith you feel shy but seriously nothing bad will happen to me.
(10:08-10:14) Perfectionism overcame me but luckily I have my mentor beside me.
(10:36-10:41) Just focus on doing one thing, we can really achieve the impossible.

FWEP00025 Cindy Wang
Hello gorgeous! Welcome to todayās episode. In this episode we have a very special guest her name us Cindy Wang she is the CMO of UXINgroup. Cindy was Head of Marketing of Uber China in Beijing. Cindy has extensive experience in strategy, M&A and entrepreneurship. She has worked in Oliver Wyman and Booz&Company, covering Auto and TMT sectors.
A shift in company culture
When Cindy came back to China to work, she experienced a shift of work culture. This is what she shared:
(02:47 - 02:55) And of course I was working always for International companies and it is my first Chinese company, for me to go back home.
(2:56 - 3:01) So culture wise itās a bit different than before, for example when I was working in Silicon Valley, it is very open.
(3:05 - 3:09) For women, you always had a lot of opportunities to talk, to share your opinions.
(3:11 - 3:14) Where in China, itās a bit traditional.
(3:19 - 3:21) Weāre not playing a lot of important roles as men
(3:23 - 3:42) But weāre changing that, for example in my company, in my team because weāre marketing department, weāre most innovative and creative aspect of the company. I have 70% of women work in my team and they have very great background, international working and education experience and they are young and pretty and they are smart.
How to lead as a womanBeing a leader and a woman at that here are some advice that she shared to help all women out there seeking to take on a leadership position in their company or in society: (3:53 - 4:09) I think first you definitely need to have courage. For example I spent most of my time working overseas, especially Middle East and in Europe and especially in Middle East, a male dominant society, so I learned how to survive.
(4:23 - 4:46) Two, I think first you need to really be confident , speak and share your opinions in front of, no matter whom and secondly you need to leverage our strengths. You know, to be nice and very high EQ and IQ to communicate, so I think that is something you want to, itās like the key success factors for women to become a leader.
(4:47 - 4:53) And last but not the least, be curious in your life all the time, then you can keep young.
The new generation and successShe feels honored to work with fresh minds and it is very inspiring to hear her share how she views success:
(5:30 - 5: 39) Those young generation they have really their own strengths and they are really brave and they have very clear vision to change the society and change the world.
(5:49 - 6:14) I think that success is not something you want to compare with a hero , itās not something you want to compare with Mark Zuckerberg or all the leaders --- Elon Musk. I donāt think you should call it a success. Success, does not have a bench mark. As long as you are happy for yourself , as long as you think you are satisfied with all the progress and efforts you have made so far, I think then you can call it a success.
Important views in work and skills
Here Cindy Wang shares some of the importance of what she does and how sheās able to do them:
(6:19 - 06:41) Because Iām working in a tech company, I think marketing is the eyes of the company because the marketing personnel always need to have very forward thinking and the most creative mind to bring all the time the new ideas and a source of energy to the company. Itās extremely important not only for me but also for the tech world.
(06:47 -07:05) I just finished a very interesting branding campaign to put our brand in the latest transformer 5 international the movie so I know itās not a really successful movie but I think our product placement is super successful.
And when asked what her best skill is, this is what she shared:
(8:09 - 8:33) Innovative mindset, so I try to keep myself absorbing all the fresh ideas from different people, from different industry and also from different activities, youāre doing for example I love travelling and I travel to more than 90 countries, I think thatās the greatest way for me to be really open and to keep fresh ideas and keep fresh mind all the time.
Hardest choice as a woman leaderCircumstance wonāt always be by your side and as a leader you will be bound to make tough decisions. Cindy was not exempted:
(8:47 - 09:26) I think the toughest challenge is to keep the talent in your team. I think thereās always a challenge for me because if you think about how much effort you put when you train a young person in your team. From knowing nothing to become a really capable manager and then one day he or she will tell you : āOh sorry, I want to go to somewhere elseā Now, you can be really sad and youāre trying to give him or her all the rational reasons to try to keep him to stay. That is for me is a challenging, TALENTS--- finding and keeping talents.
Advice for aspiring entrepreneursHereās what we can learn from Cindy and what she has achieved in her career:
(10:10 - 10:22) I think you should always be brave to try out new things and donāt be afraid to fail. LIke the failures will always give you new strength for your bright future.
Key Takeaways:
Always look for an opportunity
Have courage
Make tough decisions
Donāt be afraid to fail.
Absorb fresh ideas

FWEP00024 Ekaterina Matveeva
In this episode, our special guest is Ekaterina Matveeva also known as Kate. She is the CEO and founder of Amolingua. Amolingua offers smart service for soft skills training in foreign languages.
Learning more about language
The study of a foreign tongue improves the knowledge of one's own language. It will help you not just with the communication, but it will also give an opportunity to engage with the world in a more immediate and meaningful way
Today we have a special guest with us. Sheās all the way from the U.K. Her name is Kat and sheās the CEO and Founder of Amolingua.
(01:12 - 01:34) Iām Ekaterina Matveeva. This is complicated so Kate. Platform is called, Amolingua which means, I love languages. So which we are doing, we are teaching you languages, cultures like cultural mindset. Mainly training in public speaking. Itās all in one package and itās not just for you to learn a language but actually for a particular purpose for a girl. So it can be a business.
(01:41 - 01:55) So if you go to China, you need to understand Chinese culture. Otherwise, how are you going to sell there. If itās engineering, so we will help you with engineering vocabulary and as well as the social idea on how it should work there lets just say in Germany different here with Singapore.
The beginning of service
We cannot deny the fact that it is very hard to start working on a project on the first time, you need to let people believe in you and made them feel you deserve their trust. But when if you love what you are doing nothing is impossible.
(02:14-2:30) 10 years ago, when I was in linguistics, well it just donāt on me I wanted to actually get some language school but I didnāt know how it will work and use it, for it involves some high technology because already I was dreaming about you know some of the yeah yeah you know it was the start.
(2:56-3:04) Last year we actually launched properly this project and it was like first about the service so we were just you know teaching people and seeing the results statistics.
(3:31-3:50) That was the first service and then we attracted more and more people like form technology and we form partnership for platform like company like working in a public sector etc. and now we are preparing like fully and technologically like you know, quick platform with is our own talent materials based on our methodology.
(04:25- 4:36) The first call for me is when I was invited for TED talk then when I actually wrote my first book and then second book and it was again more about education and languages.
Embrace the challenges
Challenges are everywhere, just face them and do not let them fail you. Keep on striving for the best result for your goals.
(5:48) I went on Europe, different corporates different cultures but we all know that we need a lot of patience, we are corporates because we have the structure.
(6:18-6:27) In my case itās more about contribution and impact so if I can contribute to the development of a particular company thatās an influence.
(9:25-9:43) You need to work twice harder like everywhere, you need to position yourself not like to become a man, you know itās very important but actually still be female. Itās very important actually embrace your femenine side.
(12:33-12:38) I have these like 3D formula, dream, decide, do thatās it.

FWEP00023 Xie Ying Lian
In this episode, we have our special guest today. Ying Lian Xie is best known for her work as the CEO and co-founder of Datavisor, a successful fraud detection technology company based in the Silicon Valley. Ying Lian's career achievement was recognized and she selected as Women of Influence in the year of 2017.
A woman influencer
As a woman, people are expecting too much from you. That is why you need to be brave to face all the challenges in life you deal with daily. You need to be a good leader for there are people who are looking up to you because of your influence.
1:54-2:33 Woman with influence can be very broad and sometimes people interpret theyāre living more narrow way. Influence is that as women we actually influencing in many different ways, we play different roles and we influence working the workplace our co-workers and as a leader we influence our team but there are also bigger influence as we influence the family and friends, we influence our children, to some extent women actually have a great influence on the society in general and it can be actually very broad and deep.
5:25-5:53 I still feel myself lucky, lucky in a sense that me and my co-founders we both actually are female co-founders is the company and the technology but we actually are fortunate enough to work with many of few of these greatest investors in the world and they definitely did not hold any view of like were women to treat us differently so I feel very lucky.
Just be yourself
Working in a company as a woman leader you need to make them feel that you are strong and confident. Do not let them think that you are weak because you are a girl instead make them know you through your achievements
7:07-7:15 on the surface may be on seeing the image of two female co-founders sometimes the question would raise up.
7:44-8:26 As myself, I did not think very intentionally that I need to work around harder that didnāt come across to me and felt that maybe there are some of the lucky part that I was able to work with someone with these investors in the world who are actually extremely supportive and extremely helpful. So I didnāt have that strong feeling if I need to work harder but in general start up is hard I always felt I need to work hard and that is a fact that I believe regardless of men and women. We have to work very hard particulars are entrepreneurs and itās not just an easy journey.
8:28-8:33 That kind of awareness and that kind of thing always push us through and my comment is really sort of regardless what we do whether itās a guy and a woman as we presume a lot of dreams we
8:42-8:49 Regardless what we do, whether itās a guy and a woman as we presume a lot of dreams we always have to work very hard.
10:25-10:30 Establish the strong correlation between the sort of a woman and a strong leader.
Key Takeaways:
1. Balance work and family
Influence people
Give compliments to people
Be a good leader
Work with quality

FWEP00022 Aileen Hoe
In this episode, we have a very special guest who believes thatlearning how to have fun and experiential learning are the two key ingredients and thatās crucial to oneās learning.
She is Aileen Hoe theDirector of Chinese Champ she is also the assistant secretary for Twi Libraries Malaysia, Committee member of We care Journey.
Children are our Future
Teachers are influential for whatever teachers act students will emulate it. The educator plays a big role in the lives of students. Hereās what Aileen shared about how they get along with the parents, guardians, and kids as well.
(2:19-42) I work with the parents and I train the teachers as well our motto is we make learning fun. So when the kids come through the door, what they do is they have fun and be themselves. Our environment is very nurturing whereby we use positive affirmations for the children and they come and be themselves and we work with them from the mindset.
(3:27-4:02) āI believe as educators we are influencers for the next generationā and always believe in this āI believe the children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside, give them a sense of pride to make it easier let the childrenās laughter remind us what we used to beā
(4:03-11) So that is the power of being an educator we influence not only the children but also the parents and guardians.
Be innovative
Educators must always make sure to upskills not just themselves but even the curriculum as well. Educators must teach what works best. Aileen shared:
(4:37-41) I believe in this motto āWe donāt need to reinvent the wheelā
(4:53)So what I do is I take from the bust a little bit of here and there not so much of like one specific system because I always believe that it has to be customized. And what I had customized for this year may not be applied for the following years because the children they change and live with the technology and so on. Different parenting style as well. So we have to always upskill ourselves.
(5:19- 51)So what we practice to make learning fun so my forte is using music and movements and speech and drama and we put those estimate elements in the teaching of the language. So when the kids come they will have fun and they really feel that they are learning but at the same time through music movement they learn discipline they learn to take turns, they learn to respect one another when they take the turn to pass on to precautions from one person to another person. They learn to listen and thatās recall and response in excellent songs. They listen and they then to receive and to give as well and a lot more can be done from there.
(6:33-41)We believe in a VAK system Visual Auditory Kinesthetic so thereās a lot of personalised attention given although it still in a group.
Calling to teach
Not everyone has the passion to teach young kids and same as with our calling. We all have different calling with different ways of how we respond to that call.
After knowing our call itās up to us if weāll take the call or just leave it. Aileen shared her calling and love for teaching.
(7:01-19)Well I was in a corporate finance line for about 5 years and my dadās been a businessman and my momās been a teacher all her life so I always joke that Iām the best of my parents because Iām an education a teacher Iām sitting in my own business Iām half of Half in each of them.
(7:28)I quit my job full-time to go into teaching.
(7:38-16) Once a teacher always a teacher. I was still teaching part-time. I found that very tiring but it was still very fulfilling. But what makes me decide to actually let go corporate finance for good although the pay was good and all that, was actually I gave myself a question, a life changing question I ask myself āWhat would I do if I only have 1 year to liveā? So the answer was very very clear. I knew that I wanted to be with the kids and I just want to be happy and I realized that itās my calling and thatās what I love to do for the rest of my life.
Roadblocks are temporary
Tears, sweat may shed in our face but these are just part of life as human. Working and living without this stuff is not challenging at all. Aileen shared how she conquers those roadblocks she encountered being an educator and businessman as well.
(8:42-9:42) It has been sweat, tears, of course, thereās a lot of challenges, financial challenges itās not easy being a working mom I went through pregnancy being a new mom. So I went through a divorce a few years ago and that was very hard but I would say that thereās a lot of voices some of them into no voices, some of them are external voices. It was very hard to distinguish from whatās right and wrong until I actually sit down and think back like what kind of clarity to achieve clarity so that I will be able to really listen to my heart and what I need to do and how to prioritize but I will say that I am very thankful that I have a very good support system.
(10:42-11:17) I cried a lot, I laugh a lot as well along the way and I guess itās through that I begin to understand myself better and I take it as a journey and looking deeper. I would say that I donāt even know that I have this side of myself. Until I went through it and realized that thereās nothing too difficult to be able to overcome when you have the right mindset towards things.
(11:26-39) Sometimes too much of a mind person and when it comes to feeling it. Honestly, Iām the kind who numbs my feelings to be able to not feel pain.
Look at yourself
Sometimes because we are so busy with our business, family, and friends we tend to forget to look after ourselves. We forget that we need to take care of ourselves. Aileen encourages us to:
(12:21-50) I spend a lot of time on my own as well to feel myself and to understand because different face of situations it brings out the best and the worst in me. So itās about getting myself space to understand that okay I need support and Iāll come outreach out to the person, people whom I know who will be able to give me this emotional support at this time
(12:56-13:23) If you feel that you just need to go into a cave and stay for a week, a few days a few hours give yourself permission to do that. Because taking care of yourself is most important as a woman and as a mother as well and I would say that if you donāt take care of your emotional and mental health then it definitely will not help in whatever you are doing with our kids.
Know your priorities
There were people who can still say that āI have no timeā but in fact, we have 24 hours that we enjoyed every day. It only varies on how we manage our time and priorities.
Aileen shared about her priority.
(13:33-38) I always like to think that I have it all but again itās how you define all
(13:42-14:16) The first thing everyone has 24 hours in a day so itās how we make best of the time that we have how we prioritize. Sometimes I have to put sudden things down to be able to attend to other things. I would say that I always make sure that whenever the phone rings if itās my daughter who calls me or my family memberswho call me Iāll leave everything aside for them if there's anything thatās required from my members of family I will attend to those things first. Thatās my priorities
Self-Development
Self-development is not easy. It takes a lot of effort and teachable heart to be willing to adapt to change in life in order to be developed. Aileen shared a lot about her self-development
(14:50-15:31) Iām a fresh graduate from Money and You and Iām very proud to say that and I learned so much from their experience. I have learned to be able to open up and I realized that thereās actually a safe space with a big bunch of people but we come here for the same reason. We have experienced a lot of things in life previously. Sometimes we donāt know what weāre doing is right or wrong but when I hear other brave people sharing on stage, I realized hey everyone goes through a very unique journey and we are not here to judge, we are here to open up unmask, strip.
(15:57)We donāt know what we donāt know right?
(16:35-57)Iām a big believer in self-development and in continuous learning even since young Iāve always been curious and been a thinker and wanted to fix things. I mean fix people. So I realized that itās not my responsibility to fix people I should fix myself. So for things to change first I must change.
(17:01-38) Because of the things Iāve been going through the journey of my life I realized that hey thereās a lot of things that Iāve yet to learn and itās really exciting to be with the group of people in a personal course and to see everyone coming for the same reason which is to empower themselves to develop themselves. The energy is really high and it gives me a good opportunity to kick start that and what happens after. So thatās when a good support structure is very important and the discipline to see it through.
Pieces of advice
Aileen shared a lot and give some pieces of advice about those women who are being grabbed back because they are afraid to take risks.
(17:57) I would say that we women are lucky because we are very intuitive and believe in yourself, trust yourself thatās the most important thing.
(18:18-27) At the end of the day, listen to your heart because your heart and your intuition can never go wrong
(18:46-19:36)Again trust yourself what youāve decided to do and the other thing is if we have knowledge in one area because like as an educator I realized that I love teaching so I upskill myself in teaching so I attended a lot of classes to be able to get qualifications and the knowledge to be able to educate. But at the end of the day, I realized that I donāt know business I love teaching so much. I love being in the business but I cannot be in the business to understand it on a macro skill. So that was my struggle in the beginning but eventually, when I realized and acknowledged what I didnāt know and what I still donāt know, I tend to be able to look how and search for at the areas that I need to improve myself in
(19:37-25) So go for seminars and get connected to like-minded people so that you have that emotional support if you are a mother and also you need to manage certain things at home yes, get the support that you can but I know that sometimes we need to be on our own because not many people are may be as lucky. Itās about not expecting perfection from what youāre doing be kind to yourself be gentle to yourself and at the end of the day always ask yourself that, In that situation at that moment have I done the best that I could if the answer is yes. give yourself a pat on the back and say yey! well done. Celebrate that little milestone of achievement because the next day when you wake up is gonna be another long day.
Know what your strength is
Thereās a quote that states, āWhen I am weak, then I am strongā. Aileen shared the importance of knowing your strengths and weaknesses.
(21:49-22:03)So itās always important to know what our strengths are and where are the areas of challenges when it comes to communication so that we can still remember the objectives of the communication at the end of it.
(22:40-23:01)Actually, I have my own quote you know, YOLO right? You Only Live Once but mine is YODO You Only Die Once. So you go and living a life and think from the space of abundance and just continue to hit your calling and do what you love doing from your heart
Soul Rich Woman
Aileen defined Soul Rich Woman as being brave:
(24:33-44)A woman who believes in herself and itās not afraid to live what she believes in that I would say a soul rich woman
F word
Women desired to have the F word- Being Fabulous, Having Freedom and Financial Independence. Aileen shared her favorite F word.
(25:04-43)For me itās being free. Freedom is the word that I believe in because freedom means that thereās no limitation there are no boundaries and with freedom in their mind, anything is possible there endless possibilities and you are able to look at yourself in a positive light and freedom means you are not restricted. So you feel free and light
Key Takeaways:
Always follow the process no matter how long it is
Follow whatās your calling
Believe and Trust yourself that's the most important thing!
Learning is a lifelong process
Love your passion

Ep 21 Dame Wendy Tan
In this episode we have a very special guest, she is a powerful and amazing woman and MD CEO of Globe
engineering. She has 30 years of experience leading the organization she received the Dame of Honor from the order of the Orthodox Knights of St. John Russian Grand Priory USA in the year 2012 she is Dame Wendy Tan.
Looking backWendy is very successful now, but it did not start out that way.
(2:02-20)Because being a woman in business is not easy. I would say especially for me in the man industry and it took me a while to gain the trust of the men and now thereās no hesitation. When they have a project they want me to make they do not ask me anymore āCan you do the project?ā.
(02:29)So I have the upper hand right now in many ways but it took me many, many years to build this business to where I am today and Iām very proud of who I am today too.
The journey to permanency
Sometimes to find where we are most effective we need to keep trying and opening ourselves up to opportunities that come our way. This is Wendyās journey:
(2:53-3:03)I did account for a while and I found it so boring I was in an auditing firm and most time I was falling asleep then I realized that thatās not the job for me
(3:05-11)That time when I was working as an auditor was after graduated back from Canada.
(3:15-18)And I realized thatās not for me and I came to Kuala Lumpur
(3:23-41)The first job I took was Insurance and many people asked me you have done so high education, why are you venturing into insurance and I do insurance for a while and I close my first million dollars policy and after I achieve what I wanted then I moved on.
(4:23-43)I decided to migrate to New Zealand because at that point in time New Zealand was taking up a PR so where my degree itās very easy to get a PR and I spent a couple of years in New Zealand working as Accountant, financial accountant.
(4:55-5:11)After coming back from New Zealand I came into this Fire Industry this friend of mine that I knew for many years when he was lobbying for the business from my ex-boss asked me to join him and I just joined him as a business partner in the construction industry.
Being a woman in a male-dominated industry
Being a woman should not be seen as a hindrance to be successful in an industry that was dominated by men. You just have to be you. Hereās how Wendy did it:
(5:52-6:15)I think is very important to gain the trust of the men. Many times when I would walk in youāll get a look from the men why is this lady in this industry and every meeting that I go in, Iāll be the only lady there might be 20 men 30 men Iāll be the only lady.
(6:23-35)And through the years I realized being a lady has its advantage and I worked a lot on myself to achieve to be who I am today. Be a woman and so proud to be one.
(6:46-7:37)I think it is so important that you want to be who you are being feminine rather than be the mature woman so that then men donāt feel so much as a threat but rather treat you well as other women and they feel happy I think right now the man that I work with feel happy to deal with me and they feel very comfortable to share anything with me and I have many good relationships with all my clients and because of that we have constant repeat business thatās how the company has grown because all the developers in town have grown their business they do bigger business, bigger buildings, hospitals, hotels and therefore my company has grown along with my clientele.
Invest in Personal DevelopmentYou are your best asset. Keep learning, keep growing, look for a community, or an organization that can guide you to strengthen who you are in order for you to be effective as an entrepreneur. This is how Wendy came in contact with Money and You.
(8:02-49)Working on myself building myself clearing my childhood trauma, my childhood issues and
to become who I really am so itās so important that you invest in yourself and
because of thatās how I ended up taking on Money and You because of Money and
Your program is a program that has transformed my life since 1998. And I
realized when I first attended this program I taught it was boring but actually
it wasnāt a program that is boring it was a reflection of me that Iām leading a
very boring life. Money and You, whatās so special about this program is that
you can come back and review it at any time and any part of the world.
(9:05-13)The good thing about Money and You you have a lot of coaches around and the people who will help you in your personal growth
(9:56-10:00)I have met so many of them that have helped me along the way in my personal growth
Driving force to success
Our family background should not hinder us to succeed. And if we have miscommunications with our parents we need
to resolve it along the way. This is Wendyās story:
(10:38-11:03)Because I was from a poor family I had to work, I worked as a babysitter I worked as a waitress, I worked as a bartender. I worked long hours so that I could make the money to support myself while I was in Canada. So that was something really good so it gives me the determination to want to succeed in life.
(11:09-26)Dad has never think very much of girls, because of him I always want to prove him wrong that girls can do more things than the boys and that has made me who I am today because of that so Iām thankful.
911:46-12:17)One of my breakthroughs was how to communicate with my mom because as we were
growing up with my kids we never really had a chance to communicate it was like
shouting, screaming telling you what to do and those days youāre put in a box
were they just live you their thatās what makes me so different because of my
upbringing.
Spreading love
A truly successful person is someone who will keep on doing good to help transform other peopleās lives?
12:57-13:27 Well I would like to continue to transform peopleās lives and giving love to the world that was the little Wendy what she wanted when she saw is giving love to the world which I never really had when I was a young kid. So
this is something I would like people to have, love in their heart and Iām so glad that I can do this through this program Money and You.
Overcoming fears
We all have fears but what makes it unhealthy is when we donāt do anything about it. Never make your fear an excuse to stay mediocre, overcome it. This is what Wendy did:
(20:17-47)I believe every one of us has fear but because like I said there are many coaches I went and work on it what other fears and really release them and be who you really are because weāre all-powerful being so having to work on
yourself to clear your fear in your system is very important. I mean there are fears in me but I went and did all these personal coaching lettings go of it.
Balancing relationship
Nothing is better than constant communication especially with your partner so there wonāt be misunderstandings or power struggle with your business partner or life partner. Learn from Wendyās relationship with her husband:
(2:01-390I donāt really have a power struggle in my relationship because our age now I think my husband and we really talk things out we always have dinner together every night he makes sure that Iām home then we only have dinner and thatās when really I will share with him about my workday and he will sit down and listen to me and he will give his viewpoint but we ourselves, we already have the answer within us, itās having someone to listen to us and thatās it.
(2:43-3:02)I used to journal a lot I will write down and I canāt sleep, I write how my feeling and after that I will just go to bed and then the answer will come. Now that I have a husband I journal less now because I have someone to talk with
and Iām so thankful to have him in my life at a late age.
Money and You
This program can help anyone. Especially an organization, where communication needs to be strengthened. This is how Wendy described the effectiveness of the program:
3:09-14 Money and You is a program for anybody, anyone for that matter.
44:51-5:03 I also encourage all my engineering staff to attend Money and You so that they understand who their boss really is and at this point in time thereās 5 of them classroom attending Money and You
5:21-56 I think that so important when you are running an organization it is easy I remember before Money and You we always screaming shouting at my staff right now itās like we communicate, we talk things out they come and see me if we face a problem rather than in the past theyāll be so fearful of coming in to see the boss. Although you want to see the boss so in a way right now we have very open communication in the organization and they donāt feel that itās a
threat when Iām in a chat group with them with all the project.
What is a Soul Rich Woman
This is how Wendy defines a Soul Rich Woman:
6:45-7:17 Someone who is in their heart and itās not easy to be in your heart it took many years because when I first attended Money and You I was so hard on myself. I didnāt even know that feelings is one of my senses that was then in 1998. So itās a joke that you no longer feel you will just go walk from hate and now that we work from our heart work is easy.
F word
F word is Being Fabulous having Freedom and Financial independence. Among these F words Wendy chose Financial Freedom as the most important for her:
7:30-50 I would say financial freedom because let us say I came from a very poor family so to be financially free now is very important to me. I get to travel if I want to travel, I travel with my kid and husband we make a point to travel as a
family overseas, 3 to 4 times a year.
Key Takeaways:
Communicate, to maintain the balance in your
relationships.
Do what makes you feel good.
Stop being afraid and start taking risks.
Your dream should involve making othersā lives
better as well.
You can never achieve success without determination

Not all is free with Pia Wurtzbach Miss Universe 2015
In this video we interviewed Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, all the way from the Philippines. She is formerly known in the Philippine entertainment and modeling industry as Pia Romero, is a Filipina-German model, actress, and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Universe 2015 on December 20, 2015. She had previously won Binibining Pilipinas 2015, in her third attempt in the competition.
The journey towards Miss Universe 2015
Winning Miss Universe is more than just being a beauty queen, for Pia it symbolized persistent determination to pursue oneās dream.
(59:1-24_ Well it took me a long time to make it to Miss Universe I think a lot of people know that it took me 3 times in our National competition which is called Binibining Pilipinas before I got into a Miss Universe 2015 and it was also 42 years since we won, since the Philippines won. It was pretty much a big deal back home at that time.
(1:29-41) Just last year Philippines won again Catriona won and thatās also like was a big celebration. So we love beauty pageants. And we take Miss Universe very seriously.
More than just the crown
Pageants are not only about the glitz and glamour. It creates something more inside every woman who joins and it especially changes the life of the winner, like it did Piaās.
(1:54-2:24)After winning Ms. Universe I mean being able to travel. Iāve always dreamt of travelling the world and coming to places like Singapore I would only imagine it as a kid and now I get to do it as part of my job. Trying all the different cuisines and meeting people from all walks of life, it's just a really nice learning experience I feel like I may not have gone to college but my school is the world and Iām learning a lot.
She further shares the learning she gained when she became Ms. Universe 2015
(2:32- 3:33)It really is more than just what people see on TV I mean itās more than a pretty girl who gets crowned at the end of the show wearing a gown who had a nice answer during Q and A, it is really more than that. These girls go through a lot its months some of them years of trying, training, polishing and just really making themselves better over-all not just physically but then also enhancing their communication skills enhancing poise in how they present themselves in public like really a lot of things and just trying to overcome that inner battle in you that youāre not good enough itās always that in our dialogue you have in your head you know that youāre not deserving of being a queen. But then it is more than what people see on TV. Itās really it changes our lives and at the same time we want to change other peopleās lives as we become beauty queens.
Filtering negativity
We canāt control how people view us. Like it or not there will always be someone who will hate is for no reason at all. Letās learn from Pia how to handle the noise around that can drag you down if not managed appropriately.
(3:45-55)Negativity - it is part of it I guess I canāt say that Iām kind of used to it already because I started as an actress back home
(4:11-18)So I just got used to it and then I learned how to filter comments in my head
(4:31-33)So you just have to choose your battles I guess.
Writing a book
Beauty queens are commonly expected to write an autobiography after their reign, although Pia thought about this, she opted for a different route for her book. She shared:
(6:13-42)I am coming out with a book, it's very common for beauty queens especially Miss Universesā to come out with a book after their reign I thought about doing an autobiography but then I thought maybe this would be a nice first book for me. So I came up with a story for a while now maybe 2 years since after I passed on my crown actually. So what happened was after you pass on your crown next question is what would I do next.
(6:42-7:01)So I wrote down a lot of ideas on my notebook and then I figured out that this would be a nice first. So itās a fiction novel about a girl who also joins a beauty pageant and the struggles and challenges she goes through into winning or not winning.
(7:05-16)Itās loosely based on my life story not exactly the same of course I added a bit more drama to it but I made sure that people are gonna take away some really nice life lessons at the end of the book.
Top Three Lessons as a beauty queenWhat makes everything worthwhile are the lessons you learn in the different phases of your life. Nothing stays the same, so make sure to plan ahead and use what youāre given for the moment to inspire and make a difference. Hereās what Miss Universe taught Pia.
(7:36-56)The top three lessons I learned into when I competed at Miss Universe is that: Every girl has a different reason for joining some of them really want to get the crown; some of them make it into a stepping stone to acting or modelling; some it was their parentās wish for them to join a pageant.
(09-26)So I guess with each girl itās a different purpose or different story. I also learned that, not everyone can speak English and then not everybody can speak the same language that you speak but then everybody can still get along.
(8:55-9:14)It is everybodyās qualified to win and everybodyās beautiful and everybody is smart and everybody has something to say everybody has an advocacy and a voice. So itās really a matter of preparedness and luck.
The power of thinking ahead
Planning and preparing is essential to be able to seize every opportunity. Hereās what Pia has to say:
(9:34-41)You have to be prepared all the time because you never know when the opportunity comes and I guess thatās how it kinda worked for me.
(9:52-10:15)You always have to think a few steps ahead thatās how I am. I always think of a game plan kind of like what would do I want to achieve this year or the next couple of months or the next 5 years you donāt have to have it all written down but at least you have an idea in your head of where you want to go so then youāre not kind of aimlessly going anywhere--- youāre going somewhere.
Mentors
Mentors are a team of people behind your success, they can change as you go along but all of us need mentors. As for Pia she had:
(10:19-59)I do have a couple of mentors especially when I was training for Miss Universe and Binibining PIlipinas I had a team like a village of people. Like one for walking, one for Q and A, one for makeup, one for hair well 3 for Q and A cause then thereās showbiz Q and A, thereās serious Q and A, So I talk to like a showbiz personality for the showbiz Q and A. Also a lawyer for the more serious Q and A so thereās different. Because they can ask you different questions and they all have different tones and also a life coach I spoke to life coach also and I took it a step further I also had an astrologist.
(11:05-17)So I was really serious about it, but it helps itās nice to have a team behind you, people cheering you on cause itās not just your battle itās also kind of theirs too.
(11:37)Now, Iām being guided by the management team
(11:39-12:06)The difference now is Iām kind more of the āthe bossā and this is what Miss Universe kept telling me before I passed on my crown is that āPia you have to be prepared because after Miss Universe is done youāre gonna be your own boss now. So itās gonna be what you want to do and what you want to achieve so think about it really hardā and then I told myself okay so this is it.
The transitionDespite the many doors opened and the opportunity to inspire, Ms. Universe is not a permanent thing. When your reign is done, whatās next? This is Piaās advice:
(15:22-53)Just think about what you like to do before all of this happen before the crown, before the heels, before the gowns. What were your interests? Itās nice to go back to what you really love to do because I realized that if you force yourself to doing something that you donāt really like youāre gonna be burned out and youāre gonna run out of energy itās gonna be so hard to fake it and youāre not gonna be happy in the long run you have to love what you do.
(16:23-35)The good thing about finishing your journey as a beauty queen now is the world is your stage, now you can be whoever you want to be. So choose wisely.
(16:43-50)Thereās really no shame in asking for advice, asking for help, it doesnāt mean that youāre lost. It just means that you want some guidance so that you can go into the right direction.
Soul Rich Woman
When we say Soul Rich Woman a woman that is rich in her heart. Someone who has a good heart when it comes to serving people especially uplifting women.
Pia defined Soul Rich Woman as:
(17:53-18:04)Soul rich woman is not a woman whoās rich in money or fame or material thing itās more of like whatās inside whatās in her heart
(18:13-32)I feel like all of us are trying our best everyday women be soul rich woman. Instead of competing with each other and looking towards side and try to compare ourselves with each other women we should be uplifting each other. Thatās what will make us soul rich women.
The F-Word
We love the F words: Being Fabulous, having Freedom and Financial independence. But for Pia, her favorite F-word is fun:
(18:55-19:24)My favorite just has fun like I wanna make it simple because sometimes women who are overachievers who wanna achieve a lot of things we have a tendency to become too serious that we forget to have fun . Because we wanna do this and that there are so many things you want to do you wanna be the best but then are you having fun? Ask yourself all the time are you having fun because actually soul rich woman also knows how to have fun.
Hereās how she have fun:
(19:39-52)at the end of the day or when Iām not working I like to hang out with my family, with my friends I donāt wear makeup I just hang out at home and then I wanna hangout with people who are not in the pageant world.
(20:05-29)When you go back to like hanging out with people that are not necessarily like in showbiz then you ask the more serious question like ā how are you doing? Howās your family? And then youāll realize that thereās a bigger world out there or some people who are going to different struggles and it humbles you. And it makes you more grateful for what you have.
Future plans
Future plans help you decide now. Hereās what Pia has in mind:
(20:33- 21:10) 3-5 years from now I would hope to have a really stable business I want to have a few businesses I want to try my skills in business. I would also like to learn something new I donāt mind going back to school for a short while just to learn a few skills again and hopefully by that time I have a business, learn something new and who knows maybe Iāll settle down.
She further specified the business that she wanted to start:
(21:21-28)Something to do with cosmetics I think I really am passionate about it I know like beauty queen cosmetics
(21:30)Itās something that I like and I find it really interesting if it doesnāt feel like work to me I also have a passion for gowns and clothing.
Encouragement to Women
What is your dream? Are you actively pursuing it? Pia encourages women out there who are not living out their dreams, to start acting!
(23:22-50)I wanna remind women out there that your willpower is stronger than anyone ever says about you, any negativity any stones were thrown at you, your willpower is stronger youāre gonna be sad if you let yourself be sad. And youāre gonna be angry if you let yourself be angry at the end of the day youāre in control of your emotions and you have the power not them, you.
25:15-47 you just have to trust your instincts and let go of anything thatās holding you back or bringing you down donāt let those dreams just be your dream if you wanna make something out of nothing get a better job, get a better education, have more financial stability anything if you want that, if youāre imagining in your head make it real make it come true. Then you only have one life at the end of the day those decisions have to come from you.
25:54-59 Nothing is ever given to you by free you have to work for it. You have to go grab that dream.
Key Takeaways:
Nothing is ever given to you for free, you have to work for it.
You have to be prepared all the time because you don't know when your opportunity will come.
Let go of your fear, to follow your dreams.
You can be successful and have fun at the same time
Choose your battles, filter negativity.

Jacy Wee such an honor to have an endearing conversation on self-love, self sabotages and building win-win relationships for women by women.
Jacy Wee: Executive Director of Globe Success Money and You Team
Today, we have a very special guest Jacy Wee. She is the Executive Director of Globe Success Learning, Money and You team Malaysia. In this episode, we will be talking about self-love, self sabotages, and building win-win relationships for women by women.
Turning pointSometimes what we envision will change as we come face to face with reality. Sometimes our passion is not enough to keep going because we are not where weāre supposed to be. This feeling can be a great way to evaluate your lifeās course. Hereās what Jacy has to say:
As we go along with our journey, puzzling pieces to fix what we want to do and where we want to go. Sometimes we can experience hard times fixing what we really like to do especially if we are in a financial crisis. Hereās what Jacy shared about her journey.
(2:12-33)My journey really started to reflect when I was in my last year in university my education background is environmental engineering and I chose that profession because it was between two: environmental science or environmental engineering. Engineering would bring me a lot more money. That was clear, my path was very clear.
(2:58- 3: 31) So I choose to work for 2 years in the engineering line and after 2 years I knew for sure itās not for me. That was when I was in a very lost phase of my life. I felt very discouraged because the line I wanted to do is something about mother earth to take care of mother earth and that would be my responsibility and my passion. But when I got into that line I found that the industry was out of integrity and I could literally lose my life if I was not compliant.
(3:54-4:12)So I felt very drained I felt my spirit was empty and I actually wanted to shave my head bald and become a nun. Because I had a senior who became a monk and he looked like a very happy monk I thought if I do that and just go down that route I would be happy.
Dreams do come trueWhen our reality and where we want to be are very different, we tend to feel lost, but if we get up and decide to try again, fate can bring us to the place where we are really meant to be. Hereās Jacyās account when her dream became a reality:
(4:15-54)But when I had a conversation with him he asked me this question āJacy, are you doing this because you feel like you have a calling and thereās something you want to do for the rest of your life or you are escaping?ā So the answer was very clear. I wanted to escape. He says āGo back. Go and explore, Go and live your life this is not for youā so there I was again floating not knowing what to do. And I did something a lot of my peers and family taught was crazy I took up a night course in private secretary. So, from an engineer to a private secretary people thought I was nuts.
(5:13-33)And I dreamt about my dream job and that would be there are no office politics, I could have opportunities to learning go and travel the world it was close to my home, I have flexible hours and I would enjoy what Iām doing. Then I just left it and said āoh thatās a nice dream to have if I ever find itā
(5:34-39)A few months later I actually found it and that was really by chance. I was applying again for jobs in the engineering industry because that was what I deal. But then I saw this one ad that said exactly what I wanted. No office politics, opportunities to train and to learn and grow but I didnāt know where it was. Thereās only an email for me to send my resume too. When I got the reply, I found out it was just 10 minutes from my home. I was so happy but when I went there for the interview, all I saw was Globe Engineering and I thought why am I going back to engineering? Never mind Iām here I just take the chance and I found out that I was actually going into the education line.
(6:26-41)So my life started to change because I started to really ask for what I want. And I feel that is very important because most of my life I felt I was living someone else's dream of success but not my own. And that was why I felt very very lost.
(6:43-47)I could take the safe route or I could take the route that was very unknown to me.
The path to your dream is not always smooth
(7:07-29)Well because Globe Engineering is our main business and Globe Success Learning is our passion business than in education. So they were looking to hire people to run that business and we were very new as a business we did not know it all several of us because our core and our specialty are in engineering. And I went into that business knowing absolutely nothing.
Like any other woman, the unknown made Jacy insecure and made her think about her decision.
(7:36-8:08)I definitely felt insecure in fact I had another job offer that was offering me twice what I was gonna get from this job. But my whole body was so illogical the logical thing to do was to choose a job with better pay and a bright future. The illogical thing was to go into something I had no experience, no training and giving me half the pay. But everything in my body just says you should give this a try. And I did.
Stepping out the box
Knowing nothing is not an excuse to quit on your dream. You just have to be determined, because determination will help you move forward. This is how Jacy faced being a part of Globe Success:
(8:32-33)It has been 15 years since Iāve been part of this team.
Jacy shared also the lives that they had impacted through their business.
(9:42-54)It was a huge struggle for me to really get out of my comfort zone but Iām someone when I have a goal and wanted to achieve no matter what Iām gonna achieve it. Even though Iām gonna struggle Iām gonna kick and scream all the way.
(10;20-29)Actually when I joined global success and I was exposed to the money and Community that was the biggest support for me. I learned that I wasnāt alone.
(10:50-11:05)But I was very blessed because when I came to this community I had a lot of support and one of the earliest support was from Dame Wendy Tan who is CEO of the Globe Engineering Company and also Terence Tan and weāve been business partners since then.
(11:07-28)The one thing that he said to me before I attended Money and You was āJacy, you deserve so much more in life but youāre not getting it why?ā That really hit me. I thought that I had reached a certain level of success but when he said that it landed.
Building your life
Jacy felt that there was something wrong with her. Thatās the time she began to fix herself. Hereās what Jacy shared on how she built herself up.
(11:58-12:04)When I started loving myself I was single for the first 28 years in my life and I thought something was wrong with me
(12:44-13:00)So for at least 3-4 years, that was my total focus on loving myself really seeing my own value and taking it and celebrating. I just couldnāt celebrate even though I did a good job I would still beat myself up.
(13:52-14:04)The thing that keeps me going is to get really excited about my life, my future and in the past, I used to, as I said, buy into other people's definitions of success and happiness.
(14:05-18)And I found out that I wasnāt doing my own thinking I wasnāt doing my own dreaming and thatās something that I see in a lot of women you know we tended to take on the role of a mother, of a provider, of a giver who gives so much of yourself to everyone by yourself.
Overcoming self-sabotage
Thereās a lot of things that can frustrate a woman. Here is a helpful tip that Jacy shared:
(18:49-19:00) So for a lot of women, thatās what I feel as well. You may feel frustrated inside and you donāt know whatās happening you create patterns or cycles of sabotaging yourself and youāre wondering whatās wrong.
(19:18-40) To have more awareness of our little voice. We really need to get a support structure to be with friends or choose an accountability buddy whom you can just: Number one, vent- you need to tell them what support you need. Women sometimes just need to vent out.
(19:45-20:00) Some women just tend to vent and not do anything else and they continue venting and create those patterns again because you have so much energy, emotions invested in it and guess what the universe gives you exactly what you vibrated.
(20:05-09)This venting is a healthier venting, itās just to get the energy out.
(20:15-25) So, itās like throwing everything in the garbage can, burning it and just let it go. Now, what is a more empowering decision that Iām gonna make about what happened?
Avoiding power struggle
Working with others especially if it involves position and power can sometimes lead to a power struggle, this is not healthy. This is what Jacy has to say on how to avoid this:
(30:36-58) A lot of times when we have power struggles or things where we do not agree with each other because of very unconscious beliefs and behaviors and this may be because of our survival mechanism. Things that we have done in the past, that have supported us to reach a certain result or success and sometimes that doesnāt work in every single thing that we do.
(31:00-20)Number one, get rid of your ego in the relationship ā really get rid of ego, be the first to say sorry even though you feel itās not your fault. Be the first to say sorry that you felt upset when I did this because you cannot absolutely no clue what you did that triggered the other person because of their past.
(31:41-53)Have a real conversation and having that emotional conversation where you can be vulnerable without judgment without ego and focusing on commitment to resolution.
Choosing LeadersLeaders or mentors will impact our life and our career or business. We need to choose who we let in, in our lives. For Jacy, these are the qualities she looks into:
(36:32-44) I choose them because they lived the principles that they teach which is really very important to me. They are also very humble in the sense that they would admit their own mistakes.
(38:30-48) Leaders who have consciousness of what supports them as well and what limits them. And that they are willing to share that with their mentees. Thatās what I would say would be people that I would follow and call my masters and mentors.
The Soul of MoneyThis book is instrumental to Jacy.
(39:32-40:05)One of the books that I absolutely love that was introduced to me by my mentor Dame DC Cordova is āThe Soul of Moneyā By Lynne Twist and this book I could not put down the moment I read it. I would highly recommend especially if you are an entrepreneur if you hate sales if youāve had money blocks The Soul of Money truly gave me a different perspective on the energy and the intention every time I used money or every time I received money.
(40:07-12)Where would I invest in the intention when I give a donation. What is the energy that goes through it?
(40:16-37)Some people just give donations to look good for the press just to have a certain status or even to have that power. The different levels of power, just to show your power. And they're also people who really donate even though they do not have much.
(41:19-28)When we choose to invest in a company what are we choosing to invest in so then your choices in spending your money will be very very different?
Favorite F word
The āFā word means: Being Fabulous, having Freedom and Financial Independence. Jacy chose Freedom as her favorite F word.
(41:45-26)That would be freedom. - Freedom gives me the opportunity to experience or express my fabulousness, and to also bring that out from others because when I share my journey and what I go through and the freedom that I got from using the tools that I have given other people access to that freedom. Because most of the time we operate from a cage or from limitations and that freedom is what gives you access to being fabulous, and to have financial independence. So one of my favorite quotes is actually my own quote āBe curious, instead of being furious. Being courageous and being contagiousā.
What is a soul rich woman?
Jacy shared her thoughts about what a soul rich woman is.
(42:47-43:18)To me, a soul rich woman is someone who really believes in herself. Who loves herself. And I feel you cannot give much to anyone else until you give to yourself first. You are not a savior. If thereās one person you want to save, save yourself first and then you can go and contribute to a lot more people.
(43:10-18)Someone who is authentic, allows herself to be vulnerable, supports everyone not only her sisters but every single person. And you have something to go towards, a purpose in your life.
Key Takeaways:
Have a clear dream and stay focused.
Change your āYou canātā mindset into āYou canā
Happiness is free. So choose to be happy.
When everything falls apart, choose to love yourself.
Start to communicate and commit to the resolution.

Motivating team for a vision
A motivated team is a productive team. Motivation allows everyone to explore their full potential to do more and go out of their comfort zone.
(4:00) We donāt motivate our team, in fact,thereās nomotivation needed, we donāt do any motivation courses or brainwash them I think one of the important things is we actually look at selecting the right people and coming on board with the right online value and passion.

(6:00) I realized no matter what I do and what I say theyāre bound to have certain criticisms also positive feedback and negative feedback. So I really removed that judgment of wanting the acceptance of others.
Who is our First relationship?
When we think of relationship it composes of family, friends, workmates, and the people that surround us. But the question is who is our first relationship? Ken shared his thoughts about this.
(6:26)The most important thing I realized is the first relationship I have is not with others but the first relationship I have in my life is with myself. I realized the first person I should accept is myself and I do not seek the approval of others.
Focus on what the good that you can do
Doing something that is beyond our limits is quite challenging. Sometimes we tend to have a hard time in looking for what we really love and what we are passionate about. But this is essential if we are to be satisfied with our success.
(6:54)Be authentic, be yourself, be compassionate, be always kind actually think of adding value to others
(7:01) And once you have that intention in place donāt worry about other things. And what other people doubt about your motives because action speaks louder.

FWEP0015 Don't be afraid of being YOU How to shine with confidence With Charmaine Yee Celebrity Emcee, Radio and TV Presenter
In this episode, we have a very special guest. She is Charmaine Yee, also known as Chinese: ä½åē, is a Singapore Emcee/Host & Radio Presenter/Producer and contracted artiste under Kiss 92FM. She hosts Singaporeās Number 1 English Show every weekday afternoon from 1 to 4 pm., playing All the Great Songs in One Place.
Focus on what makes you happy
People will always judge, no matter what we do, so let them. Hereās what Charmaine advised:
(2:58) My advice would be, go there, hang out with your friends, do your own thing,
(3:06)Stop worrying about what people judge.
Finding your worth
Most people attach their worth along with the material things they possess. But this is not a good practice for your self-esteem.
(3:34) - You donāt have to follow the crowd
(3:54) In fact happier if not equally happy without the latest gadgets, I was like ā I could do thisā
(4:03)You know just go out there be yourself do your thing whether or not itās against the norm we donāt need to follow the trends. You are who you are and if you express it go for it.
Charisma defined
When it comes it being charismatic, Charmaine encourages us to highlight our best trait.
(4:14) It is in a person, I would say, to me taking the best trait that you think you have and making it work to your advantage
For example, if you think your smile is your thing then smile as fun as you can. If you think your voice is your thing then use it and that transcends into confidence which to me equates to charisma. Charisma is very important
A dynamic personality
Whatever you aspire to be these words of wisdom from Charmaine will help you in your journey.
(5:12) Have a dynamic personality
(5:19) people must want to listen to you, so you must give people something to listen to. I mean you have to make it interesting

FWEP00016 Secrets of success From street kid to CEO of a publicly-listed company With Dr. Patrick Liew, Managing Partner of Global Enterprise Exchange and Founder of Success Resources
In this episode, we have a very special guest. He is the founder and CEO of two different companies and listed them on ASX and SGX. He was previously the regional CEO of a strategic advisory firm and was involved in listing the firm in the NYSE.
He is also actively involved with civic and philanthropic circles.
Dare to dream
Every single day we are encouraged to really live out our dreams. We should focus on what we really love and what can help us grow.
(3:48) I was a street kid
(3:54) ā¦at 15 years old I became a Christian and thatās the reason I wanted to be a social worker
(4:09)And later on, I discover that as an entrepreneur I can be even better than a social worker. As an entrepreneur, you know the dream is to build up a company thatās what everybody thinks as a social worker you want to make a positive difference in peopleās lives. As an entrepreneur, you know if through my business I can provide jobs for my people. Through running a very good business selling good products and services I can help people live a better life.
Boldly moving towards success
Before achieving success thereās a lot of roadblocks that might hinder us. So, how do we face all those roadblocks in life? Dr. Patrick fights his roadblocks in a very unique way.
(4:37)When I started Success Resources we had a dream of changing the world through education. And I am very proud to say that today we are arguably the largest seminar organizing company in the world.
(4:55)First of allyou must ask yourself what do you love to do, this is what I call passion. Secondly, ask yourself what can you do very well, this is what I call performance.
(5:07) Thirdly, Ask yourself what is important for you to do at this point in your life, which is a priority. Finally, and most important all you need to ask yourself what is your purpose.
Defining CharismaDr. Patrick believes there are 3 stages to be charismatic. He summarized the stages saying:(5:46) 1st stage is they must like me
(5:56) They must trust me, so thatās the second stage.
(5:59) And then finally, I must come to a point where they respect me
(6:04)Charisma has to do with likeability, trustworthiness and respect.
Aim for excellence
The best way to get better results is to strive for excellence at all times.
(6:15)E stands for Excellence so if Iām gonna be charismatic if I want to be charismatic, whatever I do I must aim to achieve excellence. Be the best that you can.
(6:27) Finally, to be charismatic we must be able to fulfill our mission in life.
The synergy of the Four Cs What are these? Hereās what Dr. Patrick shared about the Four Cs.
(6:40) First C is what I called commitment you must have commitment. If you donāt have commitment nothing will work.
The second thing that you need to have is, you need to have charisma. Youāre not born with it you need to develop it you need to apply it in your life.
(6:52) The third C has to do with competence, competence has to do with knowledge. And you need the A you need to have the right attitude. You need S, you need skils, you need to be able to make things happen and finally, you need H, H stands for habits (7:05) And the last C is compassion.
Great Advice
Wherever we go we always seek a piece of advice from someone who can help us enlighten our minds. Dr, Patrick teaches us the following Pās to remember:
(7:18) First P is you must know your purpose in life. If you donāt know your purpose how can you can you make a difference? The second P is Personality what is true about you? What is real about you? What do you live for? What do you believe in? What do you stand for? What are you inspired to do? You must live it with your life, put it in action. Without action, you can never have results.
(7:35)The next P is Planning if you fail to plan you plan to fail.

FWEP00015 Kim Kiyosaki: Invest In Yourself And Get To Financial Freedom with Rich Woman
In this episode we have a very special guest is none other than Kim Kiyosaki. She is an Internationally renowned speaker, best-selling author of āRich Womanā and āGood Deal, Bad Dealā, Radio Show Host, Entrepreneur and Real Estate Investor. She is also the founder of the Rich Woman organisation. Kim realised early on in her career that she didnāt want to be an employee. In search of something more, she worked to develop her skills and made her first real estate purchase. She now controls millions of dollars of investment property and is committed to helping women achieve financial freedom through investing and taking control of their financial futures.
Rich woman book
Kim Kiyosaki wrote the book entitled āRich Womanā. Here she shared the inspiration behind the birth of the book:
(3:45)The reason Genecia I wrote Rich Woman was because Robert and I, we travel the world teaching the Rich Dad philosophy taking two big groups and I will get up on stage and I will speak to the women for just a few minutes and at every event whether it's Singapore or we're London, Tokyo, Johannesburg wherever it was at the end of the event Iād always be surrounded by women and they had the same questions and the same issues and the biggest thing I realized is there's a huge huge huge demand for women to be educated about money and actually,we women, not only have we not been expected to know much about money but weāve actually been taught to depend upon somebody else for our financial well-being.
Financial Literacy
Financial independence is not based on gender. It happens through education. This is Kimās encouragement for women to be financially secured:
(4:52)So my whole message is we need to be in control of our finances we need to step-up and be financially literate and ideally it's up to each one of us to be financially secured
(5:07)Nobodyās gonna do that for us
(5:09)No financial advisor no financial planner it's up to us. And it's not rocket science anybody can do it but it takes time and it takes education
She added that to be financially stable requires a process:
(6:17)Actually starting to take control of your finances starts very simple. You start small and take baby steps we donāt go for the big deals we stick with the small deals. And the most important thing is that understand thereās no secret sauce, thereās no magic pill
(6:49)Itās a process and itās a process of education, itās a process of experience but itās not difficult.
(06:58)itās just a matter of committing
Risk taking in Business
You donāt have to have it all figured out to start a business. Oftentimes you donāt have anything but risk. Hereās how Kim started from nothing:
(7:41)I started with nothing and Iām gonna tell you that the best thing of all is that I didnāt have the money, Robert and I did not have the money.
(8:10)Probably for the first 10-12 real estate deals I did, I did not have the money now what that forces you to do is get very very very creative
For Kim, she chose real estate as an avenue to invest:
(8:22)Once you see the property or whatever investment it is youāre interested in. Once you see it , and touch it and feel it then put your mind to work on how can I now get the money, how can I create the money in order to get the investment.
(9:54)What you want to do is create positive cash flow. My investment of choice is real estate thereās many other ways to gather cash flow whatever works for you.
(10:05)But we had 10 thousand dollars a month cash flow from our rental properties. But we only had 3 thousand dollars a month in living expenses. So at that point $10,000 coming in and $3,000 going out we were financially free.
Achieving financial freedom
Financial freedom may seem difficult at first but it is not impossible. As Kim ventured into Real Estate this is what they experienced:
(10:39)Number 1 I did not have to worry about money anymore and number 2 it gave me the luxury to ask myself what I really want to do with my life. So itās all about financial freedom.
(10:50)Itās about freedom, not so much about the money but freedom is that having choices to live the life you want to live. Thatās what itās about.
Filling up the gap in your cash flow
Thereās no one way to fill the gap, but the key is education and being fearless. Here is Kimās encouragement:
(11:57)I made a ton of mistakes, a ton. I mean thatās the key to success, Iām gonna tell you right now, that the key to success is making mistakes everybody is still afraid of making a mistake, the only way we learn is by making a mistake.
(12:24)The key is you gotta got into action I will always say get some education get some education get some financial education on the asset class you like and then once you have some education start very small take baby steps put a little money down because as soon as you put so many down my interest goes way up.
(12:57)One thing I recommend for women especially is to go out and buy a 1 ounce silver coin. itās been across 20 dollars US today. But what that does because you know got this asset this gold or silver coin all of the sudden your interest will go up will look at the prices of silver every single day, whatās it doing. Why is it up, why is it down? And because youāve just parted with 20 dollars US you become this quasi expert on silver.
(13:31)Iām a big believer in youāve gotta put some money down, get into the game and then thatās where the real learning happens. You gotta go out and do the real thing.
Raising kids and being married while building your wealth
Your family, most importantly your kids should not be a reason for you not to seek for financial stability. Although Kim and Robert donāt have kids, she shared a very good example here:
(14:09)Robert and I do not have kids, really by choice.
(14:19)But my girlfriends for example Lisa Lannon, sheās a Rich Dad advisor, she and her husband Josh, they have very successful businesses they have 2 kids they involve their kids in their business, they involve their kids in their investing so when they go out and lock at a property they bring the children along so they educate the kids as well as educate themselves. So for women, especially with the internet thereās so much opportunity offer in the internet for business and things like that I think the parent of course can be the best teacher. So why not include the kids. It amazes me how young kids get interested in money. They know about money. When their very very young. So why not educate them while your educating yourself.
(15:14)I donāt think it has to be one or the other. I think you can do it together.
(15:21)and same with the relationship same with couples Iām not advocating for the woman to go out there sheās married and she has a life partner then she goes out there and do this all by herself and separate from her spouse this is ideally investing itās something you want to do together as a couple because you grow together you learn together.
Invest in yourselfBeing a woman is not an excuse to remain financially dependent on someone else. Be encouraged with Kimās words:
(20:00)Most important investment is to invest in yourself and to invest in your education. And for me, itās about your financial education.
(20:12)At some point you gotta put yourself first. As a woman we tend to put everybody else first, we put our husbands, our family, our kids, everybody else first . There comes a time you gotta say āhey! I gotta put myself firstā
(21:05)Oftentimes, too many of us women find ourselves in a financial crisis and theyāre not educated about money. They have no idea.
(21:27)Especially if you are a mom, I think you owe it to yourself to get financially educated to take care of your kids in case something happens.
(21:53)When people say āIāll try to get thereā āIāll try to be thereā āIāll try to make itā If youāre saying Iāll try, youāre already saying āIām not gonna do itā . Cause try doesnāt even exist.
(22:22)So just be honest with yourself
The secret of Success
Thereās no such thing as a secret to success, according to Kim itās all about personal development and letting go of fear:
(28:07)Well thereās really no secret except we work on ourselves we work on this because this is what holds us back the fear the doubt the all of the things that get in our way thatās what holds us back from success.
(28:29)For somebody who is just starting out. If youāre just starting out in investment, in real estate, in a business, itās scary because itās an unknown. You havenāt done this before we got this horrible fear of making mistakes. So when we come up against obstacles and things like that oftentimes this is the biggest obstacle. So if we can keep clearing our thoughts, our beliefs, our ideas especially around money, that can free us up to move forward with a lot of energy.
Women Empowerment
This is the perfect moment for women to stand out and stand up. Gone are the days of taking the back seat. Here is Kimās call to all women:
(38:11)For women right now Iām saying women we need to go for it the world is really messed up right now itās messed up financially, economically, morally, ethically and I think itās up to the women to turn things around because we deal with different energy, we deal with different spirit we bring a whole different personality to the world.
38:42-39:05 Right now itās up to women to stand up to start being role models start being leaders in their families in their communities in their cities in their countries and thatās more why I speak or why I educate itās not just about you getting financial security itās really about women stepping up in taking leadership roles and really changing the world.
Transformation
Financial situations that hinder us from being secure can only be changed with real transformation. Here is Kimās explanation based on Neuroscience:
(39:51)If youāre in that situation you gotta ask yourself if I keep doing what Iām doing every single day am I gonna get the outcome I want?
(40:10) If they keep doing what theyāre doing is that gonna change that situation or not and if itās not then they have to ask themselves what do I need to do in order to change it? So, for real change to happen, real transformation to happen it's a four step project, a four step process. One, you gotta get information. Two, you gotta take action so if somebodyās in that situation and theyāre not doing anything different nothingās gonna change so you got to take action thatās different. the 3rd step is whatās called feedback so for every action we take, every single action we take thereās feedback.
(41:28)The fourth step is called incubation where you take time being yourself and really incorporate what youāve learned into your body of knowledge.

FWEP00014 Dr. Yong Hsin Ning, Founder of Change Voyage - You Didn't Make All Those Sacrifices and Changes To Just Stay The Same.
In this episode, we have a very special guest. She has worked with clients from across both the public and private sectors in the defense, industrial relations, consumer goods, telecommunications, and airline industries. Sheās currently the co-founder and director of Change Voyage Consulting, a multi-consulting firm that provides tailored solutions in the areas of organizational and individual change.
She is also an adjunct faculty at the Lee Kong Chian School of Business in the Singapore Management University (SMU). She has obtained a Ph.D. from SMU. Her dissertation topic centers around her part-time employees managed non-work time to reduce the tendency to work overtime.
The Glue
Dr. Yong, is known as a āglueā, when asked to elaborate on this, this is what she said:
(3:19 - 48) I realized that using the glue analogy, is something that resonates with people. So imagine your organization is going through a change. Maybe a new system, new performance appraisal system, merger acquisition, etc. But at first, people are all thinking about the change in different ways to see the management, and uses, even the people who come in to do the project. They are all in a space of themselves.
(3:49 - 04:02) So what our company does? Is that we go in and we try to glue them all together, for what? So that they can move towards the goal in a concentrated manner that they can move together.
(04:03 - 4:20 ) But I also donāt want to be the glue for too long. What I want to do is that I hope that one day they will be able to produce their own glue, and they will then glue themselves together to move towards the goal that they want to do. So essentially, thatās what I do for a living.
Time Management Strategies
Dr. Yong shared strategies in order to optimize things.
(05:00-29) So one thing at a time, firstly. Secondly, telling myself itās possible. So a lot of times we are constrained by our paradigm and constrained by what other people tell us that we can or we cannot do. So if we want to just dissect and peel the onion and think about critically how do I fit things in, how do I reorganize my time to make things possible it can be done.
(5:39-6:01) The first strategy is better optimization of my time. So for me a lot of times I spend working either very early in the morning where there is no disruption and before I go to work and also doing times where Iām waiting for my kids to come off from their enrichment class.
(06:08-32) The second strategy is to leverage other people to collaborate with you to be able to juggle. So for example when I did my dissertation I had to be away from the office for a long period of time. Sometimes for a whole week from Monday to Saturday and I had to work closely with my clients and my team members to be able to continue the work even though I was not around.
Passion makes things possible
Being passionate will lead us to do the impossible and get the expected results not only for ourselves but for the people we are influencing and working with, Dr. Yong shared:
(07:16-8:09) my passion is in creating knowledge as well as delivering knowledge to people. The part that keeps me going is to understand how do I make something so simple that it is very, very easy for the students to consume. So the topic that I teach is around business model design and for students who havenāt been outside into the real world and they need to deal with the real clients is really tall order. So itās almost like describing a color that you have not seen before. How do I simplify the complex to make something that seems so insurmountable to be something that is really within the comfort zone of students is a challenge that I post to myself and thatās what makes me tick.
Life-changing decision
Not all the decisions we make in life are easy. It will require courage and the ability to see the bigger picture.
(08:46)So I was about 40 years old when I hit a roadblock in my career so at the point in time it was endless juggling with work and with my family, my two children who were very young then. I remembered every time during the journey out to work I would always have this voice in my head, āI wish I could quitā, and very quickly there was another voice that came up in response to that voice which says āwhy not?ā
(09:23)So the list was very long in the beginning but as a very structured person, I tried to cross out the list one by one to clear the hurdles off, to justify and clear the hurdles in terms of why I should or should not quit. After a while, I realized that I was holding myself hostage. Fear was holding me hostage because I was concerned about a loss of financial comfort I was fearful of the loss of professional structure because I was somebody and if I left I would become nobody.
(10:03)After quite a long struggle, I decided to set myself free. So what do I mean in setting myself free? So, there is a book, one of my favorite books which is Hostage at the Table and is written by an ex-police officer, I believe his name is called George Kohlrieser. So what he said was in a hostage situation, you need to understand the needs and wants of the hostage in order to satisfy and establish a bond between the hostage.
Taking a step forward
In life, sometimes the greatest obstacle is our own self. But breaking away from the comfort zone can lead us to do greater things than where we are right now.
(10:36)So for me, the person who is taking hostage of myself is me and therefore I have to come to terms with the fear and also come to terms with how do I overcome the challenges. So eventually I come to terms with that and even on the day that I left, I did not have a clear idea of what I wanted to do. But I had convinced myself enough that I had to take that challenge and I was game to learn new things and to live in some form of ambiguity.
(11:15)So I took the step forward and the first thing that I did was to take on a Ph.D. course.
(12:40)Iām glad I took that step because it has led me on to think about how differently I wanted to deliver change management services for my clients and I was exposed to a network of people that I would have never been able to be exposed to entrepreneurs, CEOs, founders of companies, who gave me very different insights from what I would have gotten if I were to stay as an employee.
The impact of the new networkWith new connections come new opportunities and different avenues for personal and professional growth.
(13:40)These people helped me to think about things very differently. My favorite quote is from Dr. Wayne Dryer āIf you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.ā
(13:53)Because of the people that are in my new network, my classmates and my fellow course mates. The way that they think about problems is very different from how I would approach them and this gives me the inspiration to do things differently.
(15:08)Because their network is very vast and varied this has also exposed me to a lot more opportunities in terms of my business.
Change management in a gist
Here is what Dr. Yong explained about the work she does.
(15:23)How do you get your entire team or entire organization to move towards a goal in a concentrated and integrated fashion? Everybody the same, everybody aligned to the vision, everybody geared up to reach to the goal. That is the goal and objective of change management.
Favorite F word
Of the F word, freedom is Dr. Yongās favorite
(19:42) Definitely Freedom
(19:46)The reason why I started this company with Stacey my co-founder is precise because of the F word, Freedom. Freedom to be able to deliver what we are considered as the best service and the best value to our clients without the constraints of typically lighter set-ups and secondly, the flexibility to decide where and how I want to use my time.

FWEP00013 VERONICA TAN SUCCESS RESOURCES
In this episode we have a very special guest she is Veronica Tan. She was recently awarded the 2017 Global Women Inspiration Woman award in London. The award recognizes the contributions of women towards the Advancement of personal growth and championing the development of business Women globally.
Realizing the dream
Our lifeās calling will come to us as we do our best in what we are currently working on. Like Veronica, the foundation for Success Resources came to her and her partner as she was attending seminars while still employed.
(1:15)So I stumble on personal development and realize thereās more to life, more to what we do and be better and bigger.
(1:25) So I started to attend seminars and then, of course, over time because of the program, events that I do, we go, we meet the team of people, like my partner, Richard today, and my other business partner Patrick Liew.
(1:55)When you love what you do just go into 27 years.
Be mindful of the company that you keep
As we go along this life we will meet a lot of people, we will encounter different personalities and characters. So we need to make sure that the person or people we hang around are reliable and can build us up. In Veronicaās words, she said:
(2:08) I was fortunate because, Then I was only an employee and I do go and attend a lot of enrichment program and then through the enrichment program I meet a lot of people and is really like what we say today, it is about "who are you surrounded with?ā Because the people you hang around within this area of learning and growing so that's how I chance upon it.
(2:34)So I think itās very important that you know who you hang around with.
(2:39)You are the average of the 6 people you hang around with the most
(2:49)Most of the time I hang around with my husband which is my business partner now Richard Tan, the other partner Patrick Liew was really very instrumental to train me to expose me to the area of public speaking and meeting people. Other than that person that Iām very influenced by is my family members and then the speakers that I hang around with. So, in the early days, it was people really like Robert and Kim Kiyosaki whom we started with until today is actually 20 years of partnership that we become good friends. Through Robert and Kim, we really got to understand the power of personal growth and business development, financial investment.
(03:44) The last person is Tony Robins these are the people who have influenced us in what we do today in the area of our business ethics, work ethics, and the way we treat people.
We must be wise in choosing who we call friends or partners in life.
Business Ethics and Principles
In this life, we do have different business ethics and principles. How we grow our business will affect how we treat people that surround us. Veronica and her husband are strong believers in treating people well.
(4:21)Number 1. Love people- Everybody has greatness in them. So look at everybody youāll see their greatness, youāll see their goodness that nobodyās born to be a bad person āAlways look at the greatness of somebodyā and ask yourself what can I do to bring out the best in this person. So itās people's development.
(4:49) We believe in people and we value people we look at people big and small.
(5:05)From the non-successful ones we call them small people and then we coach, build them bring the best out of them and that they become great. So we believe in people.
(5:18)The second one is about honesty and trust. We cannot do things alone if you donāt trust your team, you donāt trust people, you donāt trust your partners, you donāt trust the speaker then nothing will happen. Then youāll be so careful and so cautious then you will fall into the scarcity mindset. Because you donāt trust so you start with trusting people first.
(5:42) and then you control risk. I think things can go sour, go bad, So what? So Most important is you know itās a controlled risk, you have to trust the process, trust the universe that all would be great.
From nothing to Something
We all start from scratch, most of us started small before we become great and successful.
(6:42)We evolve from starting as a small team and grow along the way definitely we faced challenges in the area of people. Recruiting people, finding the wrong people. In the end whom you trust did not turn out the way you wanted. And of course, some consequences but they happen but again so what?
Making Mistakes
We will make mistakes, we should not dwell on them but use them as a learning experience.
(7:23)We made mistakes in the area of working with the wrong people and then we also made mistakes in the area of finding the wrong speakers sometimes we are not perfect.
(8:09)So in the end, I do have struggles with speakers I picked wrongly but again so what?
Having Faith
Running a business is never easy, it is not a walk in the park. But according to Veronica with faith, your business will grow. Here are more of her words of wisdom:
(8:55)I know I have faith and have a God. If you are obedient, you are faithful I believe God will take care of us. So if you do the right thing again, the universe will take care of us.
(9:14)Youāre doing the right thing the universe will bless you, will open doors for you so there is an element of certainty and trust in yourself first. Now can I make mistakes? Of course. Thatās why I said so what because itās an experience that makes me a better person.
Work-Life Balance
Part of being truly successful in managing all areas of your life.
(10:05)My favorite line is that itās true, you canāt have two persons at one time in managing. I call it value or rules. Richard, I make him the head of the business, head of the family I just stay as a neck. So, you know the neck actually controls the head.
But yet you give him you want to be the head.
(10:35)And you just stay as a neck to manage them. And tell them to turn left, turn right turn up, look down so because of these so-called values and principles I have with my husband, so we donāt clash, we donāt fight as much, as you hear other people canāt work with their spouse. Because thereās always conflicting values and conflicting instructions so we are quite clear with that and thatās what kept us working happily for 27 years.
Managing a team
Handling a group of people can sometimes be a challenge. Here is a nugget of truth that Veronica wants to share.
(11:34)Everything is by agreement, so I have a prearranged agreement with my team, my husband.
(11:47)We are a team, we need each other. You are great at doing this, Iām great at doing this so letās not cross boundaries, then coupled with respect.
(11:59)Respect the agreement, that okay you do your thing and I will do mine. We welcome feedback. We make mistakes, if thereās feedback donāt get upset and learn.
(12:17)Be open to learning
Lessons for start-ups
Starting a business takes a lot of courage, these are some of Veronicaās advice:
(24:21)First, learn to be self-aware of who you are.
(26:45) Sometimes you have self-doubt then we say am I trusting the right person or not? Am I making the right decision or not. Definitely, these things happen but if you have fear you have to act in spite of fear and just do it. Of course, we all pray that we make the right decision, but if we make the wrong decision you wonāt die
(27:22)You canāt afford to lose but the better attitude is whatever I lost I must know how to find it back and get it back. That means I made a mistake, then the next thing I do I must be better. So much better than I can make up for my past
Being a queen of inspiration
Passion for what you do makes all the difference.
(28:17)What I do is a way of life its part of my life, I do this every day so Iām not looking at it as a job or as a work. So I just live my life, it might sound monotonous but getting upcoming to work, helping the team, inspiring people, running events Iāll still do the same. Because I know thereās still a lot of people out there who have not been exposed to personal development so I think thereās so much more work for Success Resources to do. Not just Singapore but worldwide.
Key Takeaways:
Donāt stop learning. Learning is a lifelong process
Always find the best in every person.
Surround yourself with the right people.
Get up and make things better if you make mistakes.
Dream and fight for it!

FWEP00012 Success and struggles of building a regional brand with Genecia Alluora, Founder of Soul Rich Woman, International Progressive Women Award 2019 & Former Miss Singapore
In this episode, let me encourage you as a former Miss Singapore and Southeast Asia Woman of Excellence in 2010; and founder of Soul Rich Woman, the number one female entrepreneur network in Southeast Asia that connects more than 200,000 women across the region, with presence in 7 countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
The journey called life
Life is not always good, sometimes we undergo challenges before we reach success. In the journey, weāll encounter different circumstances that will challenge and teach us to grow stronger.
(3:20) Why I enjoyed pageants was it was one of the ways out for me because my family financially we went down so I had to support myself through school since I was 14 years old. So, when my friend encouraged me to join a beauty pageant, you know it could be a great chance for me to do something about my life.
(3:52) The whole process is that I had no experience and because I had been a trainer for many years, I was teaching yoga, aerobics, line dancing.
(4:04) I started teaching when I was 14, 15 years old I was the youngest instructor in Singapore
(4:59) The experience and the journey are important but winning it has really opened up the horizon.
The road to success The path to success will need determination and a constant thirst for learning. It also requires a determined and resilient character.
(5:26) I think a lot of times is the way you brand yourself the way you carry yourself the way you talk about what your vision is and how people could help you to achieve what you want to do.
(6:16) I want to leverage my time and do something online, more scalable
(6:24) So I was looking for an answer, went online, I took a lot of courses and then I met this guy who was my student in image consultancy, his name is James, James Wee
(6:43) So that was when I opened up my eyes to the level of what you call the e-commerce
(6:46) And it took me a while to figure it out, how exactly it was done
(7:29) Many times people go the wrong way or long way even for myself I also go the long way and the wrong way. Before I achieve success in the online world it was not easy. Thatās why I want to help women to shorten their time.
Creating Impact Change begins once the mindset is changed. You can only influence those who are willing.
(8:12) Itās all about tearing down the limiting belief
(8:18) I realized thereās a lot of women who are still holding back. Because of their family tradition and culture.
(8:39) A lot of women give up their dreams sometimes when they have children. Nothing wrong with that.
(8:48) What if there could be a way for women to have it all. They could have a way to still have a family and then through a network or platform, they learn and acquire the skills easily. The question is. Is it sustainable? Is it duplicable? Is it easy to pick up? The answer is yes!
The vision of Soul Rich Woman Empowering women to empower others, to live fulfilling lives.
9:26- 33 The vision of Soul Rich Woman is to empower 1 million women to make money online with at least about a thousand dollars a month.
9:46-52 It changes their lifestyle and help their children or help their family it can change their life.
Achievements in life Achievement doesnāt always mean awards or recognition. Itās those changes in you by allowing others to speak to you and taking their wisdom to create the path towards your dreams.
(10:9)Actually for me, one of the things I feel I have achieved is depth in terms of my thinking.
10:20-26 It really changed my life like it helped me to see how to become a better leader, as a woman.
11:54-12:05 My story is always, don't be a victim of your own circumstances step out of your comfort zone and go towards dreams you always desire and wanted to achieve.
Partnership in BusinessWorking along with others can enhance what you have and make your vision grander.
(13:28)Partnerships are very powerful everybody has their own role you just have to respect each otherās position and do the best that you are good at or what you are good in. So that when you come together all of us come together itās like a very powerful force so thatās one thing that I learned. The other one is the power of collaboration and partnership.

FWEP00011 Why anyone can be successful online and be a person of influence with Neil Patel, New York Times Best-Selling Author
In this episode, we have a very special guest. He is a New York Times best selling author. The Wall Street Journal calls him a top influencer on the web, Forbes says he is one of the top 10 marketers, and Entrepreneur Magazine says he created one of the 100 most brilliant companies. He was recognized as a top 100 entrepreneur under the age of 30 by President Obama and a top 100 entrepreneur under the age of 35 by the United Nations. He is Neil Patel.
Online success
No matter the platform passion is the starting point of success. Work on what you are passionate about.
(2:35)If you want to succeed online what you need to do is go and find something you are passionate about and go on and do that. So, thatās the first, if you donāt know what youāre gonna do as an entrepreneur youāre not gonna succeed online. You have to do something. You canāt just go with the vision of āI want to make moneyā that doesnāt work find something youāre passionate and solve a problem and make your solution ideally affordable and easy to use.
Content creation
Choose a content that you are most comfortable with. Not because it worked for others it can work for you. Find your expertise and work from there.
(3:17)The strategy for creating a lot of content is to find content that you create the easiest. Some people are gonna write, some people are gonna audio some people are better at the video. So find what you are naturally good at and do more of that content.
(3:32) The second thing is, create a content calendar, which will help you map out when to write the content, when to release the content, which will help you do content in quality.
Journey towards success
We canāt escape the fact of experiencing the ups and downs in life. But most important how do we find a solution for the problem that we have.
(4:20)A lot of ups and downs but the key is if you love what youāre doing youāll continue pushing forward and youāre gonna make mistakes and learn from them and then just avoid making the same ones over and over again. And eventually, youāll get to where you want to be.
Inspiration for contentYou will always make time for what stirs you up.
(4:37)I love what Iām creating and if you are passionate itās easy to create but if you are not passionate itās like pulling teeth, itās hard.
(5:05) Youāll find the time if you are truly passionate
Two heads are better than one
It is said that two heads are better than one and man canāt live alone. So in the business world, we need to look for someone who can help us in our business.
(5:40)When you are a solo entrepreneur the best thing you can do is try to find a business partner. So, think of a marriage having two people is easier than one to raise kids and a family.
With a business, you want to find someone else who is a business partner who has different skills as you.
(5:59) Find someone who complements you, who does different stuff that will help you grow faster.
Person of influence
Being a person of influence is quite challenging. But the question is how do we use our influence? We must always remember not to take advantage of the influence we have over others.
(6:10)My influence lies in entrepreneurs and marketers and I grew my influence by just helping people.

FWEP00010 Be unapologetically ambitious, confident and lean in into your leadership potential with Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and best-selling author of Lean In
In this episode we have a very special guest, she is the chief operating officer of Facebook and best-selling author of Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead. In this episode, she shares how Lean In is helping women achieve their ambitions and work to create an equal world.
She wants a world where people of every gender can pursue their dreams without bias or other barriers holding them back. Where girls grow up to be confident, resilient leaders. Where more women run companies and countries.
Encouraging the World to be unapologetically ambitious To have ambition and be ambitious is not bad at all. Itās a way for us to strive hard for the things we want to achieve.
(3:22) We need to encourage the world to be ambitious and the world is not going to do it for us. We are gonna have to do it ourselves.
(3:42) When we published a book and started my foundation was to get women into local chapters, local circles to explicitly be ambitious maybe other places will say Iām gonna dream big, Iām not really afraid and Iām gonna go for whatever I want.
Importance of circles
Having a circle of friends whom you can hang with and who can help you is significant. We have different types of circles that we belong to. Each circle will help us achieve our goals and ambitions in life.
(4:39) What we know about circles is that they are very empowering to the people who are in it. Two-thirds of the women who join a circle will take on a new opportunity because of the encouragement of their circle.
(5:00)The circles get together every month and support each other and encourage each other, and I know everyone has a really busy life you have long hours of work, you have friends, you have children
Not about gender bias
A womanās heart has the tendency to become deceitful and lead emotions to drive your life.
(6:35) The heart of women is that at that same level of performance. Men often have more confidence than women and hereās why. Itās because if you have a certain level of performance and you ask anyone around or the person themselves who remember it male accomplishments are remembered a little bit higher and women's accomplishments are a little bit low.
(6:59) That means we are systematically underestimating ourselves.
(7:03) Not on purpose, I wanna be clear
(7:09) And this is not gender bias
(7:11) Itās a bias that everyone has and so this is why we know that when men get promoted based on their potential and women get promoted based on what theyāve already done.
The Goal of woman
(7:23)So, the goal of a woman is to tell people even if you are not a hundred percent feeling the rapport applies for the job anyway. Build your confidence.
(7:50) Write down three things you did well for your sake. They can be really small.
(8:00)But I realized when I started doing that I never realized I would spend every single night thinking about what I did wrong, thinking about what went wrong rather than what went right.
(8:14) This is what I did well really helped build my confidence and itās a great track everyone does it!
Regrets Let go of your fears to unleash the potential within you.
(8:41) What would you do if you werenāt afraid?
(8:48) Thereās a lot of data behind what people are afraid of in the world. And people will always regret the things they didnāt do.
(8:58) They do not regret the things they did even if it didnāt work out.
Key takeaways:1. Dream big and pursue it.
Be bold and donāt let fear hold you back.
You are a woman and you are capable of great things.
Donāt use bias as an excuse to remain mediocre.
Always try, donāt just give up.

FWEP0009 Never Give up with Carrie Lee Sze Kei
In this episode Never Give up, we have a very special guest Carrie Lee Sze Kei who won the Miss Chinese Cosmos International in 2004. She is the founder of Cosmo World a pageant organizing company based in Malaysia.
Being a Woman of Influence in the Pageant world
Carrie Lee is not just a woman with beauty but she is a woman thatās full of courage and ready to take every circumstance whatever it takes. When she was 20 years old she struggled with how she can pursue her studies. Eventually, Carrie chose to give up her studies. But when she gave up her studies she did not stop there. She used it to build her confidence and took a step to create and achieve new goals.
(4:03) āYou must believe a lot of things... you must try! It's okay to fail when you fail you learn from all the mistakes. Whether you must believe in yourself, you still have to tryā.
Managing our Choices
When it comes to choices, itās very hard to choose especially if we donāt have any choice. Sometimes, we regret our choice but most of the time our choice will lead us to success. For Carrie, she chose to give up her studies and choose her career.
Carrie joined pageants when she was 18 and won the Miss Cosmo International at 19 and started a business at 20. So her choice in life leads her to where she is right now.
(5:36)āEveryone has a choice. If you take this what are the consequences? And you can learn from yourself.ā
(6:26)"The choice that I made in my life is that I gave up my university and I chose my career, a faster path. The basics that you learn in University are very good but at the end of the day you still have to face the real world.ā
Facing the Giants in life
As a businesswoman, weāre not exempted from challenges and struggles. As Carrie ran her first business, she also encountered and experienced challenges especially that she did not finish her university. Sometimes, it varies how we deal with our challenges and how we conquer them. According to Carrie, we will face different kinds of people but all of them will train us to be good people.
(8:41)āSometimes we as humans we meet a lot of obstacles, we meet a lot of people, which is bad people. But it's okay because you never know until you've reached that circumstance. Actually these people will train you to be a better person, they will train you to be a smarter person, so I've learned from the obstacles that I have met.ā
YOU CAN DO MOREProductivity is not solely based on a degree it is a mixture of a lot of things, including perseverance and determination.
You can do more beyond your limitations.
(9:26)āYou can do more and when you do more things that you learned is much more than the ordinary person. When you work more than 8 hours a day, the things that you have gained from yourself is much more than the people around you. Those are people smarter than you but if you put in the hard work you can actually get things done. I really worked hard for all the things that I want to. For me, nothing is free lunch. When you want something out there you still have to work very hard for what you want to achieve that is the goal that we need to set in our mind.ā
How do you handle peopleās judgments?
Sometimes we cannot dictate peopleās mind as Carrie said
(10:34) āYou cannot change people's minds. You have to prove to people. Time can prove everything, sometimes you don't need to argue with the person. Time can prove everything, just wait for the time!ā

Being a Woman of influence
āBe a better person, not a bitter personā A statement from Freda.
Being an influence is quite hard especially if thereās a lot of people who looked up to you. You need to do your best not to disappoint them. But we canāt please everyone in the same way. Being a better version person is not that easy especially if thereās a lot of people who will grab us down and those are the bitter person.
(3:51) āI think it was something a down period in my life and I remember that during that down period I just said, God. I know I want to come out a better person, not a bitter personā.
How can we really be a better person physically, spiritually and how can we be a better person of ourselves? No matter what happens just do your best to be a good influence.
Position of influence
The position is good but how do we use our position? Is it for fame or for authority? We canāt ask people to follow us anytime because we have a position.
(5:08)āWhat do you do when you are given a position of influence? Do you then use your position of influence for good? Or hide under a shell?
(5:22)I've been placed in this position to let me see how else I can be of a positive influence on others. I have been given this opportunity I haven't just sort of arrived here. I have done the work. We shouldn't shy away from our contributions.
We all have something to give to other people. And we all have something to learn from other people as well.ā
Fixing your goal
Every person has a goal and this goal will serve us our direction. If you are a person without a goal youāre just like birds flying without direction.
āThe reason why you need to have goals in all the different areas is, imagine if you don't have goals for family and you're very successful in your career. And then after you look back, where's my family? Cause you never spent time setting any goals in your family area.
So all these little things will make your life a little bit more complete. If you have a goal make it a measurable goal.ā
Challenges/Obstacles/Difficulties
Difficulties and challenges are everywhere. Sometimes the challenge that we encounter is self vs. self-wherein we fight with our mind.
(5:56) āOne person suffers from is imposter syndrome we always feel like weāre not good enough. Of course, thereās a lot of difficulties but the question is how then can we improve? We shouldnāt hold ourselves back.ā
Freda asks herself:
(6:33)āAm I really that good? Can I share everything?ā But Freda is very brave and she used her experienced to proceed and continue to the next level and knowing that she leans on God every now and then. Freda is very dependent on God when it comes to her decision, she knew that God knows what the best is for us. And that God allowed you, us to experience challenges but remember that God placed here for a reason.
Secret sauce
As we live this life how can we be a better version of ourselves? Hereās a secret that Freda shared;
(9:24)āBetter and not bitter. How can I improve myself spiritually, how can I improve ourselves financially, how can I improve myself mentally.ā
Whatās your priority?
We have a lot of tasks, works that need to be done right away. But the question is what is your priority and how do you prioritize your priorities?
(11:06)āTake more your priorities, when my son younger my priority was my family I was working at home very happy staying at home but the priorities change. I did have goals in different areas. But the focus was the more important goals.ā Freda managed her time by prioritizing her priorities. And thatās very important one way maximize our time is to set our goals.

FWEP0007 Be a woman of influence with Deborah Bailey Women Entrepreneurs Radio
In this episode, Be a woman of influence weāre going to meet our special guest she is known as Coach Deb in her Woman Entrepreneur Radio Podcast. She is a writer and storyteller who loves to share real-life stories of her guests including their life experiences. Our special guest is Deborah Bailey.
The Power of influence
Coach Deb is well known for her passion for writing books and for her Woman entrepreneur radio podcast. Coach Deb emphasized the power of influence as a woman. She shared about her journey on how she became a woman of influence.
(4:14)āYou could influence other people by just sharing your own story. And I wrote about my journey in the corporate, in how I had to change the way I thought, so I could now move out of that mindset, and really be trusting myself more, my intuition, trusting my creativity. Thatās what I realized about influence. You never know how you could influence othersā.
Being a person of influence starts with our mindset on how we think about things but we should not just stick to what our minds are dictating, especially if itās holding us back.
What is a woman of influence?
Coach Deb said:
(5:06)āA woman of influence is someone who will help others and share what she knows, and mentor others and also be a supporter and someone who is really authentic like really knows who she is, doesnāt mind learning and making mistakes and really being a role model. Not perfect but someone who can say Iāve come to a certain place in my life and now I want to help other people as well, where I can.ā
She emphasized that how we live our lives can influence other people without us knowing; because the most important thing about being a woman of influence is doing your best to help others and share what you have.
A typical reason why people fail to be a person of influence
Being influential doesnāt mean you have to be rich, famous, and powerful. But to influence is to set our lives as a good example to other people. Doing our best and taking seriously the things that we need to do. Coach Deb stated:
(8:20)āI think maybe because they donāt take seriously what they know, what they can contribute, and maybe they feel fear in a crowd, leads to a mentality of: āI canāt contributeā āI donāt know what Iām doingā āWhat Iām saying is not importantā
You are not becoming influential because you are not stepping up, afraid that you will end up being a disappointment.
How to gain the power of influence
Confidence is the key!
Being influential is not that easy. There are obstacles that we encounter along the way. But how are we going to conquer it? What are the means that we need to do?
(9:01)āI think first we have to start with confidence. Appreciate what weāve done and what you can share. Because without confidence itās really hard to step up into anything.ā
The lack of confidence will lead you to belittle yourself or thing that you are not enough or worthy. Sometimes we are afraid to take risks because we are not that confident of what we are going to do but we must push ourselves to go out from our comfort zone. Thatās very important.
The role of mindset in becoming a woman of influence
How we act sometimes depends on what mindset or perspective we have. Sometimes we just have to change our mindset in a positive way so we can be productive.
āChanging mindset, to me is important. Because sometimes people are not sure what to do and maybe you can help them to see that they have it within them but they donāt know it yet. And they just need a little guidance and support. So I look at influence as something positive and helpful.ā
Key Takeaways:
Just by being yourself, you can already influence others.
Confidence gives you the power to become influential.
Go out of your comfort zone and be fearless to take risks.
Mindset matters a lot to becoming influential.
Influence is positive and helpful.

In short, she is an Instagram expert. Our guest that will enlighten our minds and encourage us is no other than Sue B. Zimmerman
How is the power of influence being manifested?
Sue B. shared about the power of influence and how she influences others. According to her:
(2:43)āThe power of influence is when other people talk about you so you donāt have to talk about yourself. Itās the amplification and broadcast from other people sharing your knowledge.ā
Being authentic
Sharing posts on Instagram is valuable.
(3:23)āMeaning you educate, empower, or inspire in some way where someone scrolls to your feed and stops their thumb from scrolling, itās a thumb-stopping content and they look at it and it changes something in their mindā
You must be careful in the posts that you will share on Instagram because thereās a lot of people who can see it and it can affect you a lot. After all not all you see on Instagram is true.
Sphere of influence
Being influential is quite challenging because you canāt please everyone. No matter what you are doing people can always comment on your act whether itās good or bad. Sue stated that:
(3:46)ā I think that thatās influential I think that, that is opportunistic, I think, that is a way to attract other people that youāre meant to be serving and to your point growing your business, growing your leads and sphere of influence.ā
Donāt believe everything youāre looking at
Sometimes what we see is not always true. Because we are being played by some people.
(7:30) āYouāve got to be showing yourself consistently over time and the space that you want to influence. Because there are many people who want to make money on Instagram like I want a hundred thousand followers so I can get paid to be an influencerā well number 1 is: Do not ever ever ever ever buy followers 2. Not every follower is equal itās more important to be attracting the perfect follower who will ultimately buy your products or services or believe you when you endorse another product or service because they like you they like your brand and they like your business and they trust you.

FWEP0005 Win your money mindset with Denise Duffield Thomas The Lucky Bitch
In this episode, we are talking about a woman of influence. We have a very special guest, a money mentor for the new wave of online entrepreneurs who wants to make money and change the world. She helps women charge premium prices, release the fear of money and create First Class Lives.
Knowing the Power of influence
Knowing influence will serve you as a leader in your family, community, and friends to the people that surround you. Being influential can be learned as Denise stated about the influence
(2:30)āYou could learn how to influence, you could learn how to be more charismatic and you could learn how to be a leader. You could persuade people, you could influence people to behave in a way that you actually want them to behave. But that would feel really good for them as well. And thatās when I got the concept of being a leader and leadership.ā
A woman of influence is a challenging role because you must be careful with the way you act and speak.
Common Myths about the power of influence
Sometimes we canāt escape the fact of being scared of something. (4:04)āSo,one thing that I found a lot of woman is scared about. They are actually scared of their own innate ability to be a leader and to influence others. Because theyāre worried that itās kind a bit manipulative. And theyāre worried that they might use that power to do not so good things rather than do good things.ā
A lot of people want to be influential but they donāt have the courage or sometimes they are too weak to withstand others that they are often taken advantage of. But most women want to become influential to touch and change lives
(4:31) āA lot of women, want to influence people so they can help them transform their lives, they want influence people so they can encourage to do something good for themselves. But I think that's the misconception that people think or worry. That if they really enhance that power in themselves that will be very manipulative.ā
Maximizing Women of Influence
An empowered woman can do great things with her influence and touch many lives in wonderful ways.
(10:12)ā It has massive opportunities for women to have their own business to make their own money, empower other women, hire other women to inspire other women to do the same, thatās what the world needs at the moment to make the smoothest shift to shape the world in ways that would benefit a lot of people.ā
How do you measure influence?
(10:51)āInfluence to some people means power. It means being on top, being the winner making and earning money; beating everyone else. For women, we can use our power for good so everyone thrive not just a few people and itās not about beating other people. Thatās why people shy away from this feeling of wanting to be influential, because we feel like, one person can do it.ā
The downside of being influential
(13:05) I donāt want to be political and controversial.
I donāt want people to think badly about me.
(13:43)You have to consider your words a little bit more.

Be a woman in power with Elena Cardone Grant CardoneEmpire AUTHOR | PUBLIC SPEAKER
In this episode, weāll be empowered through the words of wisdom of our special guest. She is the Queen of her Empire, she has designed, constructed and protected a life outside of the ordinary. She has inspired a legion of followers to create their own empires ā lives that are truly fulfilling and beyond the average. She counts her current job as her most important one ā Chief Family Officer, where she is a loving mother, fierce wife and loyal friend.
Overcoming roadblocks
Elenaās life is quite challenging because she experienced a lot of struggles at a young age. She witnessed a fire across their house and killed two people despite their efforts to put out the fire.
(4:47)āAt 14 years old not having anything so traumatic occur in my life I just wasnāt skilled enough at my age to deal with something like that and my father had fought in World War II and he was a military person and weāre just very conservative family. So it wasnāt like there was any time to really to cope it was life must go on.ā
Despite all this roadblock she pushed her way to move and step forward which led her to become the independent woman that she is now.
Passion and desire
(5:55) āSo at 17 I decided Iāve got to get out of here Iām going to Los Angeles Iām gonna be something Iām gonna become an actress.ā
Indeed, because of her passion and desire she got her 2 and half month contract in Tokyo as a model and actress and became somewhat successful. She did modeling, acting and commercials as well.
Independent woman
(6:21)āWhen I met Grant the first five years of our marriage I was still doing this woman independent thing like we were married and I thought marriage is monogamy. I thought it was only about that. I didnāt realize that if Iāll partner up with someone it strengthens the numbers.ā
(7:23) āWhen economic collapse occurred thatās when I decided to trade in my acting career which I was terrified to do because it was what I depended on for my survival since I moved to Los Angeles by myself at 17.ā
Getting used to being independent as a teenager it was a challenge for Elena to see how a husband can contribute to her success as a woman.
āWe had a power struggle because I am super independent and I donāt want anyone to control meā
Financial Freedom
(8:29) ā We wanted to take that power in our own hands, so I have this idea about this empire, okay if he is the king and I am the queen and this is our empire what do I want it to look like? Who do I want to surround ourselves with? Do we hang out with the people with drugs and alcohol?ā
So, Elena and her husband cleaned up their lives because itās part of being a positive influence. They focused on building their empire, foregoing all luxuries they enjoyed before to pool all their resources towards their business, until they become successful and gained financial freedom.
(9:18) āNow that we have created so much success in our lives financially we do have financial freedom not just financial independence.ā
Tips on How to work with a partner(9:46)āA few little adjustments to get you both operating on the same page so that you can really utilize each otherās horsepower to push yourself instead of without even realizing it working against each other or you might go like this or you must like go straight down. But if you actually know how to work together and know each otherās roles, strengths and weaknesses and how you can build together, like push yourself on. Just eliminate the few incorrect pieces of datum because as they say āknowledge is powerā.
(10:22)āIf you get rid of bad key elements and then tweak and get on the same page it so much easier than you think. Thereās still gonna be work, thereās still gonna be sacrifice, itās still gonna take time but you will be able to exponentially up the rocket fasterā
Solving Problem
(11:02)āStop thinking so much unless itās a broad picture of possibility.ā
Start looking for the possibilities, start looking for the opportunities sometimes your biggest problem can be your biggest solution. If you are having that problem you figure out how to solve it, chances are if you solve that for other people you can scale that business out.
(11:45)āIf you need to have help, if you need to, hire somebody while you figure this out donāt feel like you are a superhero and do everything yourself at some point maybe ask your friend to help you until you can afford to pay someone to help you but you just have to go out and do something. Take action, stop thinking and do and you can do even if your knees are trembling, even if you think itās not going to work and you feel ridiculous.ā
Equipping womenās confidenceWomen's are powerful. As Elena stated:
26:27 I wanna equip women with the confidence.
(26:36) I want women to mind their own goals who are they, not only a brand but as their contribution and not with hold that from the world like if we all lived up to our potential or try to fight for the greatness how could that impact the world. We could make a big difference wouldnāt just be a fairytale idea in my head like there would be real transformation. If people actually deliver their gifts and I want women to expose that and give it to the world and stop with holding and stop thinking their not good enough. And stop thinking they have nothing to contribute. Itās so selfish women are so powerful, and so dynamic and there so aesthetic just imaging if the world operated that aesthetic wavelength you know how difference just that could be.

FWEP0002 Regrets will scare you shitless with Gary Vaynerchuk VaynerX Vaynermedia
Our special guest today is best known for his work in digital marketing and social media as the chairman of New York-based communications company, VaynerX, and as CEO of VaynerX subsidiary, VaynerMedia.Please sit back and relax while listening to Gary Vaynerchuk. In this episode, weāll be moved and inspired on how he differentiates men and women of influence.
Embrace your Differences
Being influential can sometimes be natural or forced. It can be forced simply because people are expecting you to step up or someone is watching you. The influence that comes out naturally and willingly will be determined in the ability to adjust to individual differences. As human beings, we all have a fair shot on being influential.
Gary stated his point of view on influence by saying:
(3:03)āMy viewpoints on women are exactly the same as my viewpoint with some men. Theyāre human beings that ran the world. Iām intrigued by the notion of the conversation of anything men, women, minorities, to me I think itās pretty binary , I think itās humans versus other animals so you know obviously I understand the differences I think thereās an unbelievable amount of advantages for all sexes, all races to me Iām optimistic about that.
Advantage of being different
Sometimes we are led by fear and lack of self-confidence to embrace our differences so we shy away from being influential. We fail to realize that what makes us different can make us shine. We just donāt recognize it.
(3:42) āEmbrace your differences because theyāre your advantages. I donāt ever have a great answer for other than I think thereās a lot of advantages to being a woman and that you should figure those out and execute against that.ā
Character mattersIn life, we face different people and obstacles but we must never let go of our values and character. They are essential foundations to the kind of influence we will have.
Gary V. clearly stated
(4:23) āI donāt think a lot of people think about influence, I think itās natural, thereās a lot of words for it, charisma, popularity to me the thing that Iām surprised by is how many people donāt realize that your interpersonal skill set is probably the biggest variable to your happiness and success in life. One of the things I spend a lot of time thinking about is how incredibly naive it is to not be kind, to not be empathetic to not be grateful.ā
Let history be your teacher
You donāt need to experience something to be good at it, sometimes what others did right or wrong can be your ticket to a better future or business that them.
(5:43) āIām a very big fan of looking at history like all the answers have been in front of your face the whole time there are literally, very few people in the history of time that have created meaningful businesses and lasted a decade. So what I would tell people is instead of thinking youāre gonna be the once in a generation person that box the trends of how much time and effort and smarts and hard work it takes to being successful Why donāt you look at the 20 plus years that took Amazon to get here and start realizing that it will take a lot of hard work and a lot of time.ā

FWEP0001 Not Everything Is As It Seems - Women in Power Singapore with Genecia Alluora
In this episode, let me encourage you as a former Miss Singapore and Southeast Asia Woman of Excellence in 2010; and founder of Soul Rich Woman, the number one female entrepreneur network in Southeast Asia that connects more than 12,000 women across the region, with presence in 7 countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
Self-SupportingAt an early age of 14 I have learned to face challenges and took on responsibilities due to lifeās circumstances.(3:33)āA lot of people thought that when I was Ms. Singapore they think that I was born with a silver spoon. But it did not start that way I had to support myself through school since I was 14 years old, teaching Yoga, aerobics and line dancing through my school years so I put myself through college I put myself through university so it was really tough.ā
Financial CrisisDue to a financial crisis, I had to step up and think of ways to support myself and my family. I had to do sacrifices to make it through in life.
(4:06)āAt that time my dad lost everything due to the financial crisis.
(4:20) Because of that I had to come up and do my own stuff and I think that has really molded me through my years and then after that I became an occupational therapist.
(4:53) Back then I was the youngest instructor in Singapore and then I went on to do classes but it was not easy because when Iām seeing other girls doing things in their free time they are going to the movie, going for shopping and then Iām working after school.ā
Empowering WomenWhat I experienced during my teenage years gave me a better perspective on influence and how it can be used to empower others.
(5:47) āIāve come along way with my experiences, now itās time to share and shortcut other woman's journey and empower others because empowered women empower others.
(6:45) After that I took on these skills, I went on to coach and mentor many women to transform their confidence from being ugly duckling to be more confident and become the better version of themselves.ā
The motivation to changeAs I moved up the ladder and gained success, I realized I needed more freedom and not be bound by time and money.
(6:56)āBecause I went through that transformation myself too. That movement actually gave me the confidence to do more in my life. In 2012-2013 I told myself Iām no longer going to trade time for money because as an image consultant you work you get paid when you stop working you donāt get paid. So I said I want to move this online.ā
Process of growthYou need to expand and broaden your horizons to progress in life. You need to invest in yourself too.
(7:21) āSo I went through a process seeking mentors, looking for coaches to coach me on the process spent hundreds and thousands of dollars looking for resources to grow my knowledge.
(7:38)I worked my way up then I took my vision of helping more women to be more confident and then I started a platform called āYou are possible academyā because I launched my own book in 2013, itās about personal branding then after that I went online.ā
A heart for women
Despite the success that I attained there was still something missing, I felt like I wasnāt where I was supposed to be.
(8:25) āDuring this whole period my heart has always been with the women even though I was doing the retail business. It was tough, because there was a calling at the back of my head like āGenecia you gotta do thisā you canāt just give up the women and just do a coffee retail chain. Move up and do more.ā
Stepping stone
(11:15) āYou know back then, I was bullied I was really bullied by mean girls in school. You know I was poor, I really didnāt have any money to change my bag or even to change my clothes besides my school clothes.ā
I faced the roadblocks in my life. From adjusting to our familyās financial situation to being bullied at school and doing jobs while studying. These situations could have hindered me, but instead of viewing them as stumbling blocks I used them as stepping stones to reaching my dreams.
