THE GROWTH OF SHARE MATRIX

The Original Matrix

LOOKING BEYOND FINANCIAL STATEMENT IN IPOH

One more for the album. "Looking Beyond Financial Statements - An Investor's Perspective I" workshop in Ipoh. Thank you organizers, thank you participants, thank you friends for your kind support and attendance.

From Mr Tam Wing Kwong

FPAM Ipoh Chapter Chairman 

A GREAT BLESSING TO JAMES OH

Awesome day to everyone,

I have more than 20 years of experience in broad industries of auditing, trading, construction, aviation movies investment and distribution. As such, I am having wide expose in both local and international market particularly in dealing with the world leading aviation financiers, insurance and reinsurance brokers. The aviation company I worked with offers me ample opportunities of obtaining external funding for its organic expansion programs and that’s prompted me to explore a wider range of financing products to lower down its financing costs and provides flexibility in term of collateral and terms. The hands on experience and insightful aviation knowledge prospered me with a very varied and valuable experience, which I later discovered to be so useful to part of my business.

Initially I developed in the key operational areas of the company and constantly redefine them through extensive search in accelerating the business progress of the services and the effective  implementation of the processes, taking to the practice many new tweaked processes and procedures with the purpose of reducing both the times and costs. 

In the process of vetting through the sales, leasing, charter, purchasing and financing agreements with the Providers / Clients; I have managed to make faithful and favourable long term business relationship with the clients / providers. Thus I achieved and established a win–win situation for all stakeholders.

I am always searching for new better ideas according to both the internal and external environment by keeping abreast of the rapid external changes that the company has to response in a timely manner. To redefine my thinking skills in securing both, the direct and indirect benefits are my trademark at all the relevant and material times that earned the respect and the full co-operation of all levels of staff.

I was also involved in the development of all the strategic and operational plans together with all the policy matters of the company, from the development to the implementation and armed with providers' networks.

The in-depth and insightful experience enables me to be an organized and effective person to align the strategies of the business, with its intended purpose. As a result, I am able to develop the required confidence, competency and credibility in establishing sound interpersonal relationship with the teams to deliver the desired results through sincere communication

MY REAL EXPERIENCE OF TURNING AROUND THE COMPANY

Awesome day Everyone,

In view of much greater uncertainty, volatile and changing global business environment ahead, perhaps it is timely for me to share my turn around company’s experience with some of you with the intention to stimulate our thoughts and success oriented plans further. Sharing our experience, skill and insightful experience will benefit larger magnitude of people for a better world ahead.

I still recalled when I first heard about the turn-around guru, Lee Iccacoa who turned around the General Motors during the seventies when I was a student. I was amazed with this guru who inspired me to study this topic with much great extent and interest. I never expected that I would have a chance to put it into a real test.

During my professional service with a trading company, I was given an opportunity to work with the General Manager to turn around this poorly managed company. We were able to turn around the company with a small profit after about six months of hard work, commitment and effective strategic profit rationalised plans.

We have prescribed some success oriented formulae which stopped the company from bleeding further. Various measures such as stay focus on higher profit margin products; contain operational costs, shortening its cash conversion cycle and reduce the bad practice of the cannibalized machine. This bad practice in fact increases our inventories holding period, thus eroding our profit margin.

However, that General Manager left for a better offer from other company and leaving behind the company without a head. I eventually left the company after realizing that a new general manager was leading us to a clueless direction. The company was sold off to third party not long after I left.

No doubts, I didn't really complete my mission as a Turnaround Manager and my dream never end there. I was put into a real test again when I was with another new company when I helped my then employer to grow his private limited company into a publicly listed company. With such fantastic results, I was then promoted to be the Financial Controller of the company.

Thereafter, the company was badly hit by the Asian Financial Crisis in 1996-7 and this enabled me to put my partially incomplete mission and skills into a real test. Because of my strong desire, determination, direction, I managed to deliver the required turnaround result. Just imagine how I had acquired the new skills by laughing it out more often so as to release my pressures especially when my company was hit by numerous occasions such as receiving Section 218 notice, Seizure notice, etc.

Fortunately, my boss and then the owner who earned my trust over the years gave me full support by granting me more authority to effectively implement several drastic strategic and operational plans to keep the company afloat. There I had even take up new roles to sharpen my business development skills. It is a real rewarding and memorable for me to have such a wonderful experience as turn-around manager. This experience shaped me into a more-handy and complete person to face much greater challenges. The company finally continue its services and fulfill its other commitments. The rests are history.

It well demonstrates the point that no storm can last forever but only the tough people last. Again, it is timely for me to reflect what I had experienced so as to benefit larger magnitude of people at the time of greater challenges ahead in view that four out of five largest emerging economies, BRICS except India are declining in economic growth characterise by weakening commodities’ prices and numerous economic nourishment (Quantitative Easing) by many countries over last decade. This un-precedented economic challenge is the new global phenomenon that requires higher thinking skills to solve this new challenge. 

The hands on experience of the entire turn around process, was a tough but real sweet and rewarding job. I finally realised one of my dreams of becoming a turnaround manager in 1998, at the age of 38. Blessing led to more blessings I even took my new venture in internet to a new height. Again, I have seen the light in my new venture.

Today, my labour of love has been featured in the media multiple times namely in Smart Investor Magazine, Financial First (MFPC) , Money Compass, Corporate Voice Journal (MAICSA), Journal of Wealth Planning and Management (MFPC), FlyMe360 and Hospitality Asia magazines. I have self-published eight books, specializes in value creation. 3 out of 8 books have been upgraded to second edition and beyond.

With my passion in sharing my thoughts and knowledge in both the financial, wealth and mindset fields, I was officially appointed as a trainer and speaker with various local professional institutions, and economic updates with an international business club.

My recognition goes beyond the organization I served in as I was invited to be one of the speakers at the Secretarial Conference in Kuala Lumpur on Dec 2 & 3 2015, a conference organized by Camfori Training Provider that featured comprehensive secretarial and financial strategies and solutions featuring 10+ thought leaders and speakers.

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,

INTERVIEW WITH GUEST AUTHOR , KC LAU

1.James : When did you begin to write?    
                                                                             

My first blog post dated back to Dec 2006.

2.James : When did you first discover that you were a writer?

I was just trying to share some information with friends and clients at that time. But eventually people are more interested in the content I write, and not my grammar accuracy.

3.James : How much did you write before you were published?

My first physical book was published in 2008, called Top Money Tips for Malaysians. I probably wrote about 100 blog posts before I landed the first book publishing deal.

4.James : What is your favourite part of writing?

To be able to share valuable and life-changing information with the readers.

5.James : Tell us about your latest release?

The latest book is an ebook which I give away as free download to whoever wants to get that information about making more money, saving more efficiently and retire early in Malaysia. You can find it here: http://kclau.com/lp/ebook

6.James : Wow! This book sounds really good. Are you planning on writing more in the years to come?

That’s Volume 1. I actually planned to have a series of Money Tips ebook. Volume 2 is also done, and being distributed to my email subscribers. I will be working on Volume 3 soon.

7.James : So far what is your worst criticism/attacks, and how have you overcome it?

When you have many followers, you will also attract a few haters at the same time. I’ve encountered just a few haters who subscribed to my e-mailing list, and reply with cocky statements and nonsense, and claim that they are so great that all I am teaching is rubbish.

At first, I took it seriously by responding to them. But over the years, I’ve learnt that the only way to annoy these haters is to ignore them. I would rather spend the time to serve my fans who appreciate my effort and deserve more of my attention.

8.James : What is the accomplishment that you are most proud of?

To be able to provide financial education to those who love to learn, conveniently and cost-effectively.

9.James : What does your writing process look like? 

First, I’ll come up with a mindmap of the content. Then I will write whatever comes up in my mind. The next step will be thinking of stories and examples to strengthen the points. And I will proofread before publishing it.

10.James :  How did you get published?

I came up with a draft of about 50 pages. Then I send this draft to a relevant publisher who publishes books on financial topics. Luckily, the first publisher I approached came back with a positive response. Then I am required to complete the manuscript. The rest of the publishing process like editing, layout, printing, distribution are all handled by my publisher.

11.James : How do you come up with the title of your book?

I brainstorm a few suggestion and the publisher pick the one they think is the best.

12.James : Can you enlighten us a little more about your books?

In the latest physical books, I’ve included a lot of comics. The writing is even simpler and more direct tone because I think books should be made easy and fun to read to benefit most people.

13.James: Tell us your guiding principle that governs your life?

Life is short. Be happy and work on your strength and passion.

14.James : How have you cultivated these values?

I think just being true to myself, know my strengths and enjoy the process.

15.James : Do you have any advice for writers looking to get published?

Start with a blog. It instantly provide you feedback because you will know if people are interested in what you write. A blog documents your writing. Most people think that authoring a books is a daunting job. But it isn’t when you break it into small chunks, like a blog post a day!
