On Google … PR 0

Haha…

I’ve just installed the Google Toolbar for Firefox, and checked my very own PageRank. Zero. Kosong.

Hee hee… What do I expect right? I hardly update this site, and hardly anyone visits anyway.

At the very list, it seems google has at least cached my page, but nothing to be proud of, the cached snapshot was from February, the “Who is Rich Schefren?” post.

So what have I been so busy with these few days? Trying to get my site www.tweak-me-site.com up. You can take a look now… quite empty, but I will be working full steam ahead. The seminar will not be too many days away now. MUST COMPLETE ONE MORE VIDEO!!!

I’ve decided to redefine myself as a video blogger. Most of it will be posted on tweak-me-site.com. This blog shall remain my personal blog. Hwei Min could be coming on very soon as a guest. She will have a cool ‘super hero’ name, Pepper Mint.

So this page might be called TWeaK Me and Pepper Mint! Cool?? COol??

Shameless Promotion

Yeah! I’ve got my name cards!

Let me tell you, nothing can describe how thrilled I was to get hold of these as they were printed and cut.

I overhead the staff joking as she passed one of my cards to her colleague, “Wanna play poker?” When I hear that… I know I have something good.

I can’t wait to give these out. I can’t do so until www.tweak-me-site.com is up, though… So full steam ahead!

It’s all about hype

It’s been confirmed. I will be going for Stephen Pierce’s seminar from the 23rd March to 26th March. So I have a few tasks to complete by that time.

The idea now is to bank on aggressive offline marketing first, to get the first influx of traffic. I am targetting Singaporeans who are interested in Internet Marketing first, since I am going for a couple of seminars this year.

So, I’ll be creating hype using a cool name card, and at least 1 fun video which I hope will be viral. I say hope because there is no way you can predict such things…

These are the tasks at hand:-

  1. Print cool name card.
  2. Complete 1 viral video.
  3. Complete 3 training videos.
  4. Complete www.tweak-me-site.com
    1. Sign up for autoresponder.
    2. Set up autoresponder form on site
    3. Write the thank-you email. With free ebook.
    4. Design site.
    5. Put up videos and articles.
    6. Pray hard. 🙂

So far.. I am behind time.

  1. Cool name card. Done. Not printed.
  2. Completed viral video. Very fun.
  3. Completed 1 training video.
  4. Not started on site.

Raffles Institution


Just popped by my alma mata Raffles Institution today.

We were viewing a unit at a condominium nearby, and I thought I just walk in to take a look. Wow… a lot has changed. The school is well maintained, (Rich school lah…), looks ten times better than I remembered it. New additions were made, the canteen had the most changes made to it. Now there is a foyer area just above the canteen. I can’t really remember what used to be there.

Of course, now that RJC is sharing facilities with RI, the running track had been removed, and the field looks VERY well maintained. So did the tennis court.

But on the whole, everything I remembered was still more or less there. All the old photos (which I did not appear in), all the pictures of former headmasters (Mr. Wijeysingha will always be my favorite), all the classrooms. (some of them seemed air-conditioned, those lucky kids!)

I am thankful that I had a chance to study at RI. I am not sure I will enrol my kid to study there, however, but I do not regret studying at RI at all. I have learned confidence, and leadership at an early age. I was inspired by Mr. Wijeysingha. He managed to exude regality and calm, and yet remain fatherly and kind.

I don’t regret not going to RJC, however. I have learnt that RI and RJC attracted a certain group of kids that I nearly became. Thank goodness I came from Ai Tong before that, and YJC after that, so that I ended up pretty balanced. And of course, because I met Hwei Min in YJC, hee hee…

The condominium we visited on the other hand, gave us a very bad impression. Maintenance was poor, that whole place needed a repaint. There was one disgusting bald patch of grass next to the swimming pool. On the newspaper ad, it was stated that the showroom was open from 10 a.m., and when we were there at 12p.m, the guards told us no one came.

Multi Task

Had a huge aha today as a couple of things i’ve learnt over the past weeks seem to line up to give me the same insight. All of this is triggered because I observed my friend Hoe Swee when we were in office today. I was sharing with him the power of Tony Robbin’s Personal Power program and how I felt a change in me. I asked that he tried the first of the whole series of tapes, and see if it worked for him. “If it works for you, it could well change your life” was what I said.

Well, he did try listening. He switched it on quite softly (understandable, since we were in office), and he was doing his coding at the same time. After a while, I heard the track repeating from the very beginning again. He was multi-tasking.

Zig Ziglar mentioned in his tapes how some of us do not have goals for the things we are working on now. Some think about their families when working. They lament about missing out on spending time with our loved ones when they are in office. When they are at home, however, they wil start thinking of what they have to do when they get back to office! No wonder they always claim to have no time!

Well, this ties in nicely with what Rich Schefren shared in his preview about the tasks we are doing and how much they are really worth. Basically, if something can be done while ‘multi-tasking’, it is not worth your doing them in the first place.

How much are we guilty of this? I know I am. I’ll be staring at Hwei Min while she is talking, and my mind would wonder off. Otherwise, I’ll be staring at my computer screen while listening to something Hwei Min is saying, and not really concentrating on either. I can accomplish so much more if I gave my 100 percent to each task at one time, and ironically, multi-tasking accomplishes less.

So, reminder to self:-

Regardless of whether for work or for play, concentrate on what I am doing, until that thing is done.
