No Clicks Doesn't Mean Fail

2010-05-10T09:58:00.000+07:00

Have you ever feel about one of these feelings?

My business is running slower than usual
I have low sales-income this month
No one accept my visits today
My calls always rejected recently
No clicks for my blogs in past month

...and some other feelings.

Well, the bad news is, if you haven't had those feelings, I'm sure you will have at least one of them one day. Not meaning I pray for your failure, but it's natural, in fact, it's a nature's law.

The good news is, any success persons have already or may be still in those "failure condition".

For instances, Thomas Alva Edition who found the bulb and finally this was "a jump stone" for the next General Electric. The history said that he tried for more than 1,000 times .experiments to find the bulb.
Colonel Sanders offering his recipes to more than 1000 investors that finally it became Kentucky Fried Chicken. The Wright Brothers have failed many times and accepted many rejection and heckling before they finally could made a former aeroplane prototype.

And I'm sure the people around you, the successfull business persons, politicians, artists, musicians, and so on, must have gotten through the condition - not just a down feeling.

I have a friend that recently being broke and have a bank debt for more than 1 Billion Rupiahs (about more than US$ 100,000), because his client denied the contract while the project has done. When I confirmed him, he told me that this was a usual thing. He ever felt into amazing debt for more than 3 times in his journey of success. But he keeps moving, keeps awaking, eventhough sometime he ever felt down either.

See...
so when this is ever happening, just don't give up. Stand up once more, get up once more, steps once more
Keep in mind repeatedly, that you can achieve what you want, and believe that in the right time, it will be given to you by The Almighty.

Focus on what you want to be achieved

2010-03-17T20:16:00.003+07:00

Few weeks ago I had a special inspiring funny moment while my three-years-old daughter asked me to take her out for a walk.

The story began in the morning when my daughter woke up and found me beside her, she quickly asked "Where are we going to go this morning, Dad?"

I answered, "First, you have to promise to take a bath and have a breakfast, then we'll go to anywhere you like. In fact,we'll go with grandma and grandad."

Hearing that her grandparents were joining, she quickly asked for bathing. Enthusiasly, she ate the breakfast, and prepared for the walk. I'm sure in her mind she had imagination - or vision - about what she was going to play in the playground.

Shortly, when the afternoon came, we canceled to go out. At 8 pm, she went sleepy, but she still remembered that we would go out. After I gave her explanation, she began to angry and a bit crying. She continuosly asked for go anywhere in car. Eventhough I rejected, she continuosly asked for it. Even she claimed that if she didn't go out, she wouldn't get sleep.

Finally I got an idea. I got her with me in car, went around the block, not long after, less than 1 kilometres, she went sleep, until the morning came.

Ah...I got it. Maybe this was the way God wanted to show me, the answer of my praying about focus and consistence.

What the point of this, is that we have to focus on our goal whatever it is. For make the goal clears, we have to have the picture in mind - even if we have the real picture that we can see it anytime anywhere. With a clear goal, we always be able to be consistenly and persistenly do whatever we have to achieve in life. But still we have to fight for it whatever it takes. We ought not to stop until the goal or dream is achieved.

After that, the time is yours. It's your choice to continue or not. If we always have another new or unachieved goal or dream, then surely we still continue the journey... the journey of success

Why don't I start immidietly? (1)

2010-01-04T23:14:00.002+07:00

Lately I've been thinking about why I'm not moving soon, why I'm stuck in this biased-confusing, why I always search reasons for not doing, and why I'm afraid of something that eventually doesn't exist.

Actually all of those 'problems' mentioned above come from one basic problem, that is lack of self confidence. If I don't repair it soon, it will go deeper and deeper influence my mind especially, and me and my life generally. Only if I can face my self right, I can move on.

How?

Maybe a mirror can help me. Yes, a mirror that I used to seeing my neat when I get dressed, the mirror that I used to seeing if my hair were combed well, and mostly the mirror that I can see me, my self. Yes, that mirror that reflect my reflection.

As a note, the other medias have the similiar effect are still water and metal, but mirror is better for this topic because it has the most identical philosophy than the others, that will be explained in another article.

Mirror.. What do I see in the mirror? Yes, it's Me. But which me? The present, the past, the future, or the Me I want to be. Whatever I see Me in the mirror, that is Me defined in my mind.

The main idea is to change the current negative, bad, unwanted, reflection become the positive, better, wanted reflection.

Basically it is helped by the history of me in the past, present, and future. And it is supported by any motivational books and seminars, also the positive environment, especially which has the same idea, goal, or profession.

I can't wait to write down the next article that continue this topic, but I have to save energy for tomorrow, where the beautiful day awaits. Just keep do my needed activity ought to do while I repair Me.

2009-12-23T23:05:00.003+07:00

Last December 22, 2009 was a special day for every mother in Indonesia, it is Mother's Day.

When I remember what my mother have been giving to me, it makes me feel sorry of what I've done to her.

Remembering when I mad about her, ignored her orders, made her sad and cry, do not make her proud enough yet, and such other things.

On contradictionary, what she has been giving to me - her care, love, kindness, patience, knowledge, sharings, thought, taught, emphaty, prayers - are so much that I could never ever be able to repaying them.

What she has done to me since I was in her pregnancy until nowadays are very abundant that make me love her much more every day.

Neglectless her faulties she might done to me, her love is bigger than them.

And I can assure that she always still pray for me, my family, and my success everynight during her tahajjud.

Allahummaghfirlii wali wali dayya warhamhumaa kamaa rabbayaani shaghiiraa.

Ya Allah, forgive my sins and my parents's, love them as they love me since I was a little child.

Ya Allah, please allow me to have time to make her proud of me.
Amiin..

I love you, Umi; and I always be proud having you as my mother that Allah has been given to me.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, UMI CHULIF FUADA.

1 Muharram 1431 H, a good time to start stepping

2009-12-19T23:06:00.003+07:00

Yes, 1 Muharram - the islamic new year - will be a good date to start. Not meaning other dates are bad, but I use this date as a beginning of my TIMELINE.

Yes, timeline is important as it becomes my global planning and global schedule of my business. It will be the first timebased-constrain before I fill it with goals and rewarded-dreams in every step I make.

Without timeline, the planning will be uncontrolled, precisely I will not be able to make certain when I have to finish goals, how long they will take, how much progress I should make, and how much tolerance I should give if it had not finished yet.

Furthermore, with timeline I can have a clear life-goals and know the consequences I will face if I failed.

Now, focus ALFA! I can do it.

Tonight, I've found my necessary short term dreams. Those are paying short term debts - about Rp 6 millions, my daughter kindergarten initial fees - about Rp 9.6 millions, urgently stabil monthly income - about Rp 10 millions including enough monthly saving. They should be done maximum at June 2010 and be achieved by my network marketing business in distribution and life-assurance as the main vehicles.

I've made my strategy named 'Beyond 10+' that will be officially start on January 2010. But before it all begins, I should make some adjustments first that start from today. Those are: prospecting, offering and calling. Also reading books and listening to tapes or cd's

For instance, today I've talked to 2 persons, by being care and or searching for informations. It's a good start, I think.
Yes, the key of 'PROSPECTING IS CARE TO OTHERS'.
And tomorrow I'm going to start offering process, either business or products for both vehicles. That means I SHOULD START TO TALK TO MORE PEOPLE. I know I CAN DO IT and I am sure ALLAH WILL HELP.

Ya Allah, thank you so much for the wonderful day. Please allow me to close the day with love to my family, and start tomorrow with tahajjud. Please allow me to walk through tomorrow, with spirit, care and love as today. Only You can make this happenned, so please help me. Amin.
