Acknowledgement and pre-reading message

This book is dedicated to my parents, family members, partners,

future partners, friends and all those who believed in me all this
while;

For all true happy hippies at heart, who understand the meaning of
living in abundance;

To you, for taking the time to read it;

…and also to all those nice people who work VERY hard EVERY DAY
to make money, sometimes holding 3 jobs just to survive and make
the rest of our lives richer!

There are too many good Samaritans out there who get ripped off
and taken advantage by this ruthless world, causing them to lose
hope, reconsider their good deeds and not bother about others
anymore.

Although my intentions are NOT really to be a preacher of good

deeds, my hope is that everyone who reads this book will be able
to just realize that unsystematic and unsymmetrical application of
positive and negative values will only lead to misery and confusion,
causing us to be stuck in a reality that we do not really want to be
in.
Confused? Sure?

Are you really sure that you absolutely love what you’re doing?

Let’s play a game. Just follow the next few trails of random
questions relating to what you do.

1. Do you really love your job or what you do for a living? If

YES Go to question 2, otherwise go to Question 4.
2. You go to work almost every day, in fact some of you go to
work not because enjoy what you do but simply as a
means of making money. You work every day, looking
forward and saving earnestly for your retirement, or your
annual vacations. In fact, honestly, (you don’t really have
to say it out) which would you prefer?

a. To HAVE to work every day?

b. Spend your time with your family on vacations
and only work when you need to?

If you still say you prefer to work, or if you are passionate

and love what you do, go to question 3. Otherwise, go to
question 4.
 3. CONGRATULATIONS! You have the potential to be a top
corporate executive and if you work hard on leveraging
your resources, you have the potential to become a
millionaire or even a billionaire!

Those who make it big are the people who simply fall in love with
what they do, forced themselves to leverage their resources to pull
through the toughest times and more importantly,

They couldn’t care less about what the world thinks of them!

They live within their own realities or their own universe and
expect others to come into their universe to understand them.

Some manage to build a universe for themselves that is SO BIG,

it ends up sucking parts of our world into it.

However, what differentiates the boys from the men is the ability
to FORSEE THE FUTURE; but the tricky part most people don’t
understand is that the future is simply what YOU believe it to be.

Great men are simply not interested in what others believe in,
unless it gets in the way of what they believe; they do not believe
in common sense because they see beyond logic, know exactly how
to use their resources efficiently, plan 10 steps ahead of you and
know exactly what to do and how make YOU follow THEIR 10th
step, even though you’ve followed 9 of your own steps perfectly.

In every aspect, it’s NOT the POUNDS that matter; it’s really the PENNIES
(details).
If you want to succeed, you need to be passionate about what you
do. If you are doing it just for the sake of money, there better ways
which are far less complex than what you are doing now that can
earn you more money than you’ve ever dreamed of.

In fact now, with the internet, you can actually generate money
with just a few clicks, everyday!

So, why not learn to trade or build a business on the internet,

which may need you to only spend a couple of hours a day to
leverage and generate you millions of dollars, allowing you to just
sit back and go for vacations your entire life because “PayPal is
paying for it”?

Passion helps us pour our heart into our work. However, being
human, there always has to be a balance. The balance will come
when you realize that money, just like everything else in the world
is merely a concept.

Money is everywhere when you don’t need it, but nowhere when you
seem to need it.

Why do you think this is so?

It’s your projection of value that makes you who you are. It’s YOUR
projection of value that differentiates YOU from the rest of society.
If you value yourself highly, you will put yourself into a position
where you will try to impress the people around you and hang out
with those you aspire to be.
You’ll do things right, put in your BEST effort in whatever you do,
work passionately and pour your heart into everything you do.
You’ll be fearless and won’t complain; in fact, you love to be put
into tricky positions which require fast and impromptu judgments’
and start planning the risks instead of merely calculating it.

If you feel as though you are already in this stage, yet you are still
unable to achieve the abundance that you desire, it simply means
that you haven’t stopped to ask for it, or given back enough to
receive it.

You will ALWAYS get whatever you ask for. If you are honest and
dedicated to what you do, all your wishes will come true ONLY
WHEN you truly believe that you deserve them.

Thus, analyze and constantly ask your creator for what you want,
then, be patient and go on living your life as though you already
have it.

DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE

Remember, all good things come to those who wait; learn to watch
and listen to your surroundings for clues on how you can attain
your hearts desires.
 4. It looks like you’re stuck in the SYSTEM, however, don’t
worry about it too much; we’ll fix it together in a while.
First get your act together and prepare yourself mentally
and psychologically to achieve abundance.

Learn to dream and take small steps towards self improvement.

Living in abundance and achieving greatness has nothing to do with
money, fame, power or all the wealth in the world. It comes when
you reach a point in your life where you find yourself content,
satisfied, and with a deep sense of happiness which in turn gives
you the power to control the environment around you.

To achieve this point, the first thing you need to do is to be grateful

for the life you are living and realize that the only similarity that we
all have is time.

Time is the greatest gift of life; in fact, time is the only gift you have
in this lifetime.

Thus, how you value your time will greatly determine how you
value your life whereby if you spend your time doing things you
don’t want to do, you’re simply wasting your life.

However, by realizing this, it does not mean that you need to jump
into conclusions, leave whatever you’re doing now and turn 180
degrees towards another direction right away.

What it simply means is that you need to start to value your life by
prioritizing the things that matter to you, realize your goals and the
things that make you happy, make small changes towards them and
take systematic steps that allow you to achieve what you desire.
Start by connecting the dots

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so"

Shakespeare

Our life is just a collection of lessons and a journey of realizations.

Therefore if you feel lost of disillusioned, and things don’t seem to
be working out for you at this point of time, you need to stop
thinking and just keep on doing what you have to do first while
slowly readjusting your goals towards the type of lifestyle you
desire. Life always has a funny way of making things work and in
order for you to see the truth behind this statement, just start by
connecting the dots.

To do this, first start by making a list of all the problems that you
are facing and all the decisions (work, love and relationships,
businesses, etc) you’ve made in your past, to the people you have
met throughout your life no matter how little or insignificant you
thought they were, to your present. List them out in chronological
order. You do not need to crack your head over this. Start with
what you can remember and just link all these occurrences
together.

Next, start extracting all the important lessons you have learned
from each experience and note down other details that you can
remember.

As you do this, you will start to automatically connect the dots and
see for yourself HOW you ended up being where you are now and
you will realize that you are the only one who is responsible for
everything that is happening in your life and every decision you
made played a part in bringing you towards where you are now.

When you connect the dots, you will also see how you’ve pulled
out of some of the most impossible situations, how everything has
actually worked out for you this whole time and how everything
actually happens for a reason. This will give you the confidence to
believe in yourself and abilities.

Next, plan your future (the future that you want for yourself @
your goals) by choosing a target for yourself and set up little
milestones towards your targets. Revise your mind-map from time
to time, whenever you pass a milestone.

Look deep within yourself and start to plan your life like how you
plan a project. Name your project.

Use this mind-map to plan 10 steps ahead of yourself. Start placing

tangible milestones and building exit strategies as you go; you will
slowly start noticing the details more clearly and start to be more
alert of your surroundings. Follow your steps until you reach a
stage where everything starts to flow smoothly as if it were going
on autopilot mode. I call this stage “the autopilot to greatness”.

You’ll begin to build your sixth sense.

The second this happens, just follow the flow of energy, you CAN’T
go wrong and you WILL get whatever you want.
The autopilot to greatness

The autopilot to greatness can be built by anyone using a simple

build-up of activities that can be practiced un-awkwardly ALL DAY.

Some of these simple exercises are contained within this book so

practice them diligently whenever you can. Most of the time, the
results are immediate so you will be motivated to try out the rest.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about or what I mean by “the
autopilot to greatness”, then you’ll have to start reading and
applying everything you read until you achieve this realization.

You also need to constantly remind yourself everyday and tell

yourself that you are already on your way to achieving your
dreams.

In essence, every human being is put here for a reason.

If you fully desire greatness, you have to

be prepared for God to overhaul your life.
When this happens, at times, you will feel like as if everything
you’re doing is not working out. However, if you are honest,
persevering, and sincerely believe in what you are doing, put in
your BEST effort in whatever you do and remove all distractions
that hinder you from doing this.
Everything that can go wrong will go wrong at the
RIGHT time.

Always be grateful for what you have and realize that EVERYTHING
happens for a reason. Therefore, if things are somehow NOT
working out for you, just be patient and keep on going at it until it
all starts to make sense to you.

If all else fails, fall on your knees and beg your creator
for help, wisdom and understanding.

Take the leap of faith. Believe in yourself and change your priorities
to put others before you to help them to also achieve their dreams.

We are all put here for a reason. Most of the time, the person you
least expected to help you will be the one who is standing by your
side when you need them the most. Thus, do what you have to do
first and everything else will be provided for you. Then, once you
arrive at the stage called “the autopilot to greatness”, just sit back
and enjoy the ride. You’ll get whatever your heart desires.

Backwards

Every morning, you wake up and get prepared for work yet at the
end of the month, the stress hits you hard; the bills just keep piling
up. You don’t know what seems to be the problem. You tell
yourself, I need to do this for without it I simply will not survive.

You cannot understand the reason you work so hard every day yet
money always somehow seem to somehow elude itself from you.
It’s inevitable you tell yourself.

You see your life spiralling downwards and you do not know why.
You just keep on going like you used to but somehow, you feel like
giving up.

You’re stressed. You wish you knew why but somehow the answers
do not come to you.

Have you felt this way before? Do you know what’s going on?

The concept of money will give you the answers.

When you start to understand the concept of money, the world will
become your oyster and opportunities start to open up before you.
As philosophical as it sounds, money, just like everything else is a
mere concept, and once you grasp it, it will forever be within your
reach.
Simple statistics

Oddly enough, many people think it’s hard to become rich so much
that some people say it’s a SIN to even think about it.

The current odds to becoming rich are 1

out of 10.

Wealth of the Controlling

world Population
(%) (%)
90 10
10 90
100 100

Living in abundance and becoming rich is YOUR birthright; however,

currently, the problem is that an estimation of only 1 out of 10 people
will get it. (An estimated 90% of the wealth of the world is controlled by
10% of the world’s population!)

The thing about simple statistics is simple. You shouldn’t

complicate it; it’s not meant to be complicated. By studying this
simple statistic, you should realize that:

You have a 1 out of 10 chance to control the wealth of the world. If

you still do not have control over this wealth, 1 out of 10 people
you know or don’t know (and this is VERY important) also has the
chance to control the wealth of the world.
Lost? What this means 1 out of 10 people you know or don’t know
already own part of the wealth of the world.

Still Lost? If you don’t know anyone who is part of this elite 10%,
it’s about time you go out and socialize and build contacts.
Although it only takes determination and proper managements of
resources to succeed, realistically, it’s easier to achieve success if
you have someone to guide you through the process. You must
always have great people around you who’ll help you get what you
want and provide you with the necessary resources to get the job
done!

So now that you know the 90:10 ratios, do you think it’s fair that
only 1 out of 10 people will make it? Where’s the balance? How
simple is simple?

The simple reason behind the 90:10 ratio is due to the differences in the
levels of knowledge and experiences we have; and how deeply rooted we
are to the system. However, regardless of how long you worked to gain this
knowledge, it’s important that you understand that this knowledge can be
transferred to the younger generation much faster now that we have the
internet. Knowledge distribution is equal. There is no longer distinct
separation between employer and employee anymore.

We build complicated structures to instil power and fear, when all

we want to do is business; fundamentally, what is business?

It’s simple a practice of exchanging values between two or more parties.

In order to achieve your fullest potential (developing your skills

enough to quit the rat race and join the 10% club), there are only 2
paths to choose from. Both paths have equal possibilities’ in
leading you to success and material things that you want in your
life.

Good, white, pure, positive = Strong

Thin Line

Bad, dark, impure, negative = Weak

You see, quintessentially, you really only have 2 choices, and both
ways have easy and difficult, risky and non-risky practices which
you can apply to get the success you desire. What does it mean by
easy/difficult/risky/non-risky?

The simple chart below will give you a basic understanding of what
I’m trying to say. Expand and use it to form your own matrix to
categorize what you are currently doing now with your life and
what you notice happening around you.

customers who spend all their lives
(most of them even when they are
working!) loitering on the internet for

♦ Help market other peoples useful
products and earning loads of
commissions’, etc
If you’re working for yourself, then you have a choice whether you want
to apply the good way (positive) or the bad way (negative) to achieve
your success.

Either way, these choices will NOT determine the level of success
you get; instead, these choices you make WILL determine the level
of happiness that you have while doing it.

Ultimately, if you truly want to achieve success, you must first be

able to feel it.

If you don’t know what 1 million dollars look or feels likes, how can
you set your mind towards achieving it?

If you can’t visualize it, how can you set your goals and plans
towards this? How do you expect to achieve your dreams if your
mind thinks it is not tangible?

Think of this scenario:

The ultimate billionaire

Donald Trump is truly one example we can use to understand the

meaning of living in abundance. Even when he was about 9 BILLION
dollars in debt, he managed to turn the whole thing around and
now be worth much more then he was before!

How did he do it?

How many times have you seen similar situations like this before?
Getting out of 9 billion dollars in debt is NO FLUKE. It takes PURE
desire, skills, perseverance and determination, strong self-believe
and super duper confidence.

(Think about it, at one point, you were 9 BILLION DOLLARS RICHER
THEN THE DONALD!)

How come you’re still in the same situation as you are in? More
importantly, how did he bounce back and recover?!

Do you think you could be able to handle such a situation? Really?

WITH 9 BILLION dollars in debt?

If you think you can, then you are now ready to achieve greatness,
otherwise, you’re time is just not yet here.

If you can’t even imagine what 1 million dollars look like, how will you
ever make it?

If you know the technical details on how to manage your

environment and take control of your surroundings, money will
always remain an illusion to you no matter how much in debt you
are.

Reframe

Good values instil positivity and motivate your employees. Every

decision we make in our lives will depend very much on these 2
paths we chose. Most of the time, we are forced to chose the path
that leads to darkness simply because of the immaturity of the
people around us, the society and monopolies, games and lies
within them and simply because we are not allowed to live and
believe in OURSELVES and what WE truly want.

However, you have to realize that the more you try to achieve your
dreams using negative values instead of positive, i.e. Through
competing instead of working together, eliminating the
competition instead of working in harmony, etc.; you will just
hinder yourself from achieving your fullest potential.

The MORE you try to install FORCE and use your POWER to control
people, the more you lose out on the POWER and CONTROL that
you already have.

These same principles of life WILL help you throughout life and in
every aspect of it, including work, business, love and relationships.

Hence decide carefully how you plan to achieve your success and
your greatness, then, simply go on and achieve it.
