FPAM ANNUAL LUNCHEON TALKS AND NETWORKING 2016

Very blessed day, everyone.

Time flies, this is the second time I am invited to attend FPAM annual luncheon talks and networking, just a few weeks away from Chinese New Year.

It's really a blessing to meet so many new people in this function. It is really a small world that I have met up with numerous familiar friends there. As usual, we managed to catch up with each other at this meaningful function.

In this connection, I write to express my thanks to the FPAM for inviting me to celebrate its annual luncheon function together with its sponsors, key speakers and financial players from various industries. Hope this will help to enhance our relationships further, better and deeper.

This celebration also made me proud to be there for being able to continuously play my new role as a trainer in the financial industry, apart from allowing me to network with others from other financial sectors. Mindful that networking is your net worth. Trust this is just the beginning of our collaboration and we will grow closer in the many good years to come. Who knows we all can collectively work together to prosper the financial industry further by blessing larger magnitude of people. So, never underestimate the power of networking.

Use your precious time to view those photos taken at the Sime Darby Convention Centre, Taman Tun area. Wow! I really enjoyed myself there.

Now it’s your time to either post your comment just below this post or send it to jamesoh2003@yahoo.co.uk. Thanks you in advance for your kind action.

NEVER TOO LATE TO REALIZE WHAT'S IMPORTANT IN YOUR LIFE

The picture below, aptly describes exactly what I saw from my daughter’s ballet dancing journey and similar to what I had gone through when writing my blogs, 8 books and training programmes specializing in value creation.

1)      Accumulated at least 10,000 hours (I have lost count) in isolation writing, practicing and meditating daily, without much social activity. Whatever label you used, be it the Law of Accumulation, Attraction, or Abundance. All are still applicable here in today’s world. What you are today is the accumulation of every effort, work and thing you do. In short, you reap what you sow.

2)      During the last 7 years, I had begun to build blogs, books and business in writing and training. At times, I had to minimize all of my expenditures which include cutting my social activities, travelling and entertainment to a very minimum level.

3)      However, for the last one year, I have conducted several training programs in other states in Malaysia to outreach larger magnitude of people so that they too benefited from these courses. Consequently, more doors are opened to me. Fortunately, I still enjoy my journey despite I felt worn out at times, but I was determined as I felt that I was on a race to finish where my journey start. Yes I must admit I was worn out, with some bruises and scars along the way. Yet I find it was worth all my effort, sweat and energy.

4)      “This is not the end, this is not even the beginning of the end and this is just perhaps the end of the beginning.”Winston S. Churchill. Stay on and explore more invisible, so that you too can achieve what you thought not possible. In line with the dance what my daughter had choreographed in her former school, Chung Hwa Independence High School, recently. See the photo below.

5)      I was so touched and inspired by it which describes life as struggling journey. The powerful message - “it’s never too late to realize what’s important in your life and fight for it.” I was caught by surprise by this dance.

LAW OF ACCUMULATION

 “Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty… I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led difficult lives and led them well.”― Theodore Roosevelt

 "Do not measure yourself by your proximity to perfection, measure yourself by your efforts to achieve it."
- Erik Archer Smith

The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.

GREAT START FOR ANOTHER AWESOME YEAR OF 2016

Dear Friends, Followers and Fans,

Thanks everyone for your kind support and encouragement that enables me to have a great kick start for January 2016 to yet another awesome month for me. As usual, my article will be featured in the Money Compass and Financial First. You may also find us at profile

My flagship book, Looking beyond Financial Statements – Third Edition was also recently published in Smash words and just in time to be kicked off with my next course on this topic on 5th Mar, 2016 in Ipoh. See what an awesome month of January brings to me; blessings after blessings and I pray that you too will receive much more blessings from Above. 

See my first and invaluable gift of 2016 from another great author, Kelvin Kiew. Attach below please find the front and back page of his physical book that I have recently received in my first visit to his office, Eurogain, at JalanTasik Selatan 3.

Wow! Best Jalan (Path) for Entrepreneurs & Intrapreneurs; sounds awesome with the tagline that we are all born entrepreneurs. This book serves as an eye-opener to the actual behind-the-scene of entrepreneurial world for those who aspire to be entrepreneurs. It also invites us to challenge ourselves whether we believe this statement or not. I must say that there is no coincidence and I consciously chose to believe the accuracy of the statement as I have also written a book of a similar nature before. Mindset Shift: Employee to Entrepreneur is the title of my book. It immediately ignites my flame working towards who I intent to be, in line with the saying, energy flows where intention goes.

The above event took place when a mutual friend, brought me to meet up with Kelvin It is a small world and he is another seasoned entrepreneur with solid 20 good years of experience. It was very timely as I was approached by a contact overseas in pursuit of this new field. 

Last but not least, I write to record my sincere thanks to him for giving me such a great book which discuss 5 best paths for entrepreneurs with much in-depth provoking thoughts.

This book is not only informative, but the readers will have much deeper understanding of the secrets of making any business successful especially in today’s fast changing and fluid world of government, business and community service. I have been so fortunate to have access to this book.

Stay tune for more exciting stories ahead. I can sense much more blessings coming along and I shall report to you guys as usual, from time to time.

Let us work together to make 2016 another awesome year. Please feel free to contact me at jamesoh2003@yahoo.co.uk should you have any ideas to explore further.

Another great session with Daryl Wong for his inspiring sharing of what to make a successful trainer, at the Horizon, Bangsar South City, KL. A new and fantastic location for a good year ahead!!!

CATCH MY LATEST ARTICLE IN MONEY COMPASS

“The key to success is for you to make a habit throughout your life of doing the thing you fear.” Brian Tracy.  

Those who know me long enough will agree that I was an introvert  and never will deliver any speech or publish any article to the public. However, throughout the years, I have been doing the things I fear. Finally, I managed to build my muscle to even overcome the no 1 most fear according to the American’s statistics. As such, I do hope we will encourage and support each other to overcome our fear, one by one, for our mutual benefits.  

This is my second article featured in Money Compass and I am deeply grateful for this opportunity. Success breed success and I hope I can take a much bigger role in financial literacy since I have been in this field for nearly 30 years. 

I will try to stretch out my boundaries into publishing my financial-related knowledge into other magazines to reach out to more readers. This has helped me  build a much stronger foundation to move to higher level of success. You can reach me at at jamesoh2003@yahoo.co.uk should there be any  such opportunity.

This collaboration with my existing and new strategic partners, followed by more initiatives and more innovations to move ourselves to another level by focusing on developing our core competencies to be a leading specialist in achieving sustainable value creation. Leveraging has its magic power.

I don’t mind to share with you that I unknowingly subscribed to this recipe to advance my business to what I am today. No doubts, it is still a long journey to go, but one thing certain is that we will constantly develop our new capability to serve the new and under-served markets.

We believe that by staying focused to doing what we do best using our gifted talents and experience to serve people around the globe, we have achieved sustainable business growth and profitability by setting a good role model.

This is our best practice that every time we accomplish a project or get a compliment for a contribution we have made to the world, we will take a moment to let it sink in our hearts. Allow satisfaction and fulfillment to enter our hearts. It will then continue to energize us to take up another bigger task. That’s how the momentum will build up.

One thing we are very sure is having more actions and innovations to have much greater impact. This is also in line with our belief that we must pay back to the society where we have been benefiting from.

To play a larger role with much greater impact, we will actively participate in what is the next big thing in our fields. Where the opportunities are right now and the highlights we should look out for in the near future regardless of what is our situation?

We must be in control at all times no matter what. Always direct our energies in the area of our focus. Slowly and surely we will achieve what we desired.  

Please help us to spread around if you find it inspiring. By doing so, we are able to serve a larger magnitude of people. Hope you too can begin to imagine the immense nuggets of gold waiting for you.

To your success,

James Oh
