I'm back !

It's been days again I abandon my blog. Just to update my friends, I'm back to study life ;) I'm back to University Nottingham Malaysia Campus. I got so excited when I know I got accepted by Nottingham and right now I'm in Bsc Applied Psychology and Management Studies. 

It's been tough days for past few months Facing quite number of failure and I'm glad that I'm once again stand up and ready to fight. To be honest, I hate that process but I guess this is life. Life's hard and if it's hard then let's do it hard. Failure will never is an excuse for me to give up because I always remembered there's no failure only learning experiences. I facing experiences that people never had and from there I gain my knowledge . 

One thing I learnt from this long holiday was - You don't have to explain yourself to everybody because the moment you start to explain, you already losing half side of it. It's always not how people look at us,  but it's how we look at ourself.  Short and fat ? I still rule myself in the world, I still get what I want with my effort and hard work. 

Till then, I shall wish everyone all the best in your studies. Next update coming up soon. (: 

Mani and Pedi

Mani and pedi with Ching on Tuesday :) Met with Bryan, the so call Taylor Lautner.  Had fun with the girl, a lot laughter inside the car especially the fart story of us. HAHA :D 


Satisfied with my color :) I think my toes look cute with this color ? One of Ching's friend we will got addicted with mani and pedi, will you ?? 


A lot more to share, stay tune <3 


p/s I think I got addicted because of this cute color on my toes. 

Easy is not an option.

There are few reasons why people fear to be involved in direct selling or sales department.  One of the reason is the basic are dirt low, some don't even have their basic. Secondly, they are afraid of rejection and the word NO. Few friends of mine always ask me this question " Pei Ying, are you in direct selling or network marketing like Amway, Cosway and etc etc ? My answer was " Is that a problem for you if I join or I don't ?


I don't see any problem of joining in direct selling or involve myself in sales department. From my opinion : direct selling it's just an another word for promoter. For an example : When you're working in PC fair, the crowd are keep coming in and you are so aggressive therefore you keep on hard sell on your products. In fact, in our lifetime, we're keep on selling ourself to others. 


Let's say you graduated from Taylor College, you got a good result and looking for a secure job but ask yourself " Why employer needs to employ you but not others" ? It is because you're from Taylor or you can sell your professional to your boss ? In future, is either you sell your ideas to your business partners or you sell your professional to your boss. 


Due to I'm so in love in marketing, that's why I don't mind to receive tons of rejection and tons of critics because from there I learnt form my mistakes and from my mistakes, I've grown to be someone better. It's not a big deal to be failure because I believe there's no failure only learning experience. 


Why join a direct selling company if you plan to start up a company ? 


~ Starting up a business is never an easy task. Statistics has shown that 90% of small to medium businesses fail within the first 2 years of operation. Many individuals struggle as they turn from employees to being self-employed. Newly born entrepreneurs simply do not understand what it takes to make a business successful. Despite so, many dive into a business with the hope of making big money without proper planning. More often than not these group end up with a huge business debt and a ruined reputation.


According to international best seller Robert Kiyosaki (author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad), a business is made up of 8 elements. When you are involved in a direct selling company, you put these 8 elements into practice. Applying these practices will build up the experience that is needed to start up and run your business successfully. 



1. Mission
An individual who wants to own a business must have a mission in life. The mission of a business owner drafts out the goals and objectives of his or her business. A direct selling company always emphasizes on their mission and their vision. Distributors are often encouraged to set their own targets so that they will be disciplined to achieve their goals in life.


2. Leadership
“Leadership is the ability to get extraordinary achievement from ordinary people.” Brian Tracy. The purpose of leadership in businesses is to guide the many opinions of people within the organization to one direction so that they will head towards the business’ goals. If leadership skills are not present, distractions often occur which prevent businesses to be effective. In direct selling, all members are given leadership training either by their company or by their up line. Training is provided free or at a low cost as members are encouraged to recruit, develop and maintain its’ own down line.


3. Team
The top companies in the world become successful not because of luck, but because they employ the right people to do the right job. Not only do they do this right, they also chose the cream of the crop to work for them. In the direct selling business, new members may not have the chance to be parked under a good team. Nevertheless, they have the right to select a talented team for themselves whom they can build their business on. By being involved in network marketing, an individual is able to obtain skills to determine who he or she can work with. In the business world, having these team-working skills will prevent unhealthy politics to take place.    
   
4. Product
Product; be it a good or a service is the element that generates income for a business. Many small businesses fail because the owners sell what they desire but not what consumers desire. Insufficient research is done to determine if the product will sell in the market. A direct selling company usually does a thorough research on market demand before it launches its products. This simplifies distributors’ quantitative research and it increases opportunity for them to conduct qualitative research. In other words, distributors are aware that there is a demand and he or she is able to find out what consumers are looking for specifically. These first hand information obtained are useful for the business that they plan to start up in the future. However for this to be effective, a direct selling approach must be accompanied by questions to probe further on identifying prospects’ desires. 


5. Legal
Businesses that face legal lawsuits risk damaging its’ own reputation. A network marketer who understands the reason behind each direct selling company’s rules and regulations minimizes the risk of failure for his or her own future personal business. 


6. Systems
A business system is a structure which specifies the pathway of how it runs. It is a collection of steps that has to be carried out to ensure the long term growth of the business. When there is a system in place, work can be carried out productively. Being involved with a direct selling company offers members the opportunity to manage a ready built system. Upon understanding the system, entrepreneurs can then creatively modify and integrate the effectiveness of this strategic system to their new business model. 


7. Communications
Businesses communicate to the public via its marketing strategies, public relations and customer service personnel. For long term survival, it is vital for every business to build its own brand awareness early at the startup stage. The most cost effective method is to use the word-of-mouth strategy. Despite so, many direct selling companies move into advertising in the media to promote their products. Joining a network marketing company will enable you to identify and learn from the methods used by the company to engage the public’s involvement in the business or as loyal customers. The strategies used can then be innovatively duplicated to reach your future customers.      


8. Cash Flow
Businesses rely on cash flow for survival. When there is cash flow, businesses can start to plan for expansion. The way direct selling members manage their personal income and expenditures in most cases reflects the way they manage their future business’ cash flow. This is because in direct selling, distributors are not given a basic salary. Likewise majority of small business owners do not get any funding. These two groups of people have to initially rely on their savings to keep their business in operation. Thus a good indicator to find out if you will be successful in starting up and running your own small business successfully is if you are able to generate a consistent income from a direct selling business for at least 2 years.


People are so afraid to take risk when they don't even take their first step. When friend A said : Pei Ying, why are you working so hard right now ? You afraid you cannot work in the future meh ? Friend B said : Sales very hard to do, I don't like. I don't like sell items to people.  



To be honest, I'm practicing this 8 elements in my job, especially in the specific field. Maybe it's still under the progress, no result, just talk but I believe someday I will shine. Not today, not tomorrow but I know someday :)


Dear friends, there's no intention on this post, just sharing but what I'm trying to tell is easy is not an option. Start learning about value of money and figure out what is your pathway. Easy comes, easy goes. Life's hard, if it's hard then do it hard. There's always no short cut for success ! 




Agree or don't ? It's okay for me.. 




Till then, xoxo :) 
  

I mix it.

Good morning everyone :) Just woke up from my tight sleep, hiding myself under blanket is a good thing. It's been a while I did not get a good sleep. As those friends who know or chat with me lately, they know well how busy I am. I've been busy since raya week till now. 

Woke up early in the morning, was browsing all my pictures again. I love to do this ! I found one of this picture of mine, I was thinking " wow, I look good in this picture, young and pretty " Look at me now, my eye bags, my face ! :( Big and round face, I know I know I'm a typical woman here again, complaining how fat I am, how ugly I am. I shall zip my mouth before all the bullets shoot on me. 

Goodbye is the saddest word in the world, it is ? I remembered you don't say goodbye to me because you said you don't like it. Somehow, you just simply put a smile on my face by doing this silly thing.  I've been busy for so long till I slow down everything, till my mind start thinking about you, my friend. 

Your quotes always keep me accompany, and I know I'm not alone. Maybe you're not around me but in my heart, there's always a position for you. Your words still running around my mind which show how supportive are you. We got this strong attach, same aim, same ambition, common topics to talk with. You're are a wonderful person to me, with amazing personality. 

Tough we are apart, but we share the same side of the moon. Friendship doesn't count miles, it measured by the heart.  This is a long journey, I will walk till it's end, till it's okay, till it's alright.We will be friends, as long as stars twinkle in the sky, as long as angels are there up high, till oceans run dry, till the day I die.  

Dear Woman, I really really really miss you. *tears :( 

Till then, Xoxo. 

Fun Fun Fun

I guess I'm pretty lucky because I got to have fun with my best friend before knowing my result of my reassessment. Well, what I can said is I really did my best, I put in 100% effort but results did not come out what I want. In the pathway of being success, there's definitely a process of being failure because we always have to learn from mistakes. There's no failure, only learning experience. I hope I can finish my degree at Notts. Hope all my friends will see me running around at Nottingham on this coming semester.

Back to the title, I was sharing I had fun with my best friend at Viva Home. We had our brunch as there also, we ate "Kam Lin Kei". When I first saw the shop, I was so excited because this shop original was from Petaling Street, famous Hokkien Mee at there. My first attempt was at Lot 10, treated by a nice friend. Right now, totally in love with the hokkien mee.

After had our brunch together, we walked around and chat around. We bought some childhood stuff !  Let's check out :D

Tadah! :D The high 5 pen and peace sign pen. :D

There's a video of us playing with this awesome pen. I will post it up to facebook someday :) REAL SOON ! :D Hopefully la.. Before we ciao, of course we camwhore ! OH myyyy, I got this swollen eyes, round face. Scary des.

Her outfit of the day :) She looks slimmer ;)

The basic simple friendship bond between this two girls :D

Hanging around the mall for 3 hours then we got to ciao :) We had shared a lot a lot of stories together ;) We have been sticking with each other for 3 years, this year going to be the fourth year. Can you imagine ? We did not plan to study the same high school, didn't plan for study at the same University too but I guess fate brought us together and gave us a very strong bond. 

What friendship means to you ? To me it's - To infinity and beyond ! x) 

Till then, xoxo

Believes.

Why am I different from others ?  

Did you ever ask yourself this question ? Why are you different compare to others ? Let's don't talk about fashion, hairdo, or appearance because all this are given naturally. You can change it if you want as right now clothing are more fashionable, technology are more advanced and you can just go Korean make some changes. 

Let's talk about self achievement. Why am I different from her/him ? Why is the guy making hell a lot of money at the age of 18, 19, 20 or 21 ? Why is this girl getting her own business while she still studying ? Why am I not ? 

What did you achieve at your current age right now ? Does this achievement bring you to another stage of better standard living ? If no, please do some improvement. What I mean here is - if you think you have a sex life before age 21 and that's your achievement, please. Kindly re think. Will this achievement bring you good life in future ? Maybe you agree to be a gigolo ? I don't know. 

People just don't believe they can actually do what they want. They just don't believe because they don't believe with themselves and majority of them got influence by friends around them. For an example - Samantha, this business cannot do la, so high risk, slow return. How to earn big money ? 

But the problem here is how your friends know it's high risk and slow return when they not even contribute themselves in something new or that particular field. Believe at here is very important because with your believe, you put your words into action and action brings you reality story. Can you drive Jaguar at the age of 24 ? You doubt it but some other people had proven this to you. It's not about they're smarter than us but it's about how much they believe in dreams and that believe turn it to determination. 

Human being are very funny. They don't believe it until it really happen in front of their eyes. In fact, before you want it to be happen, you have to believe it. Does it make sense here ? If you don't believe yourself you can actually make your 1st million, will it happen ? It won't happen here because you did 0 action on it, you put 0 effort. However, if you believe that you can make your 1st million by age 23, you will start turn your believe to action and will this action bring you amazing outcome ? 

Guess what ? Your action will put you into recognition. Take it or leave it ?  Please allow me to share one of my video :) He's a Malaysian, he believes what he believe. 

Spend some time on this video. Hopefully it can inspire you :) You can google him for more information. Thanks for reading. 

Till then, xoxo. 

Working experience

Just woke up couple hours ago and taken breakfast. :) No plan for Friday. I know it's Friday and it's still my holiday but I got 0 plan today. Plan to slumber on my couch and watch tv shows ! Since I got nothing to do, I would like to share some of my experience with my dearly friends. 

Currently listening to - Celine Dion : Immortality 

Alright, if you're so into marketing, maybe you shall continue reading because I'm a person who is so into marketing too. I learnt majority of it from my working experience.  I'm more major on service line, more on a business developer. 

How to define yourself as business developer or businessman/businesswoman ? 

Businessman/Businesswoman - Always have this kind of mind of "business is not a charity", when money comes first, they will attack the money. Businessman is someone who involve management of a company. Money is a very sensitive issue to them. 

Business developer - In short therm, they more focus on building relationship with customers to gain long term relationship in the future. They are more on generate ideas and initiatives to work with other partners. 

First case I met : 

I was working at this roadshow by a biscuit company. I shall not mention it's name at here. ;) Basically I'm a coordinator for the game booth, take care the children and guide them how to play. Been working for 4 days, it's not that I don't like this job, it's just that this is not much I passion with. On the last day, there's this guy (I think he's the boss) asked me to work at sales department.

Alright, everyone knows biscuit it's a need because it's food. Customers walk in to the booth, definitely they will buy at least one packet. Me myself, set a goal of - every customer of mine must buy at least 2 packets from me. If customer with potential, then I shall ask him/her to buy 4. 

I guess I did it. I kept promoting and telling them the product knowledge, educate them with my passion. When we're in sales, we are actually educating someone with something we passion with. It's okay if you consume a lot time on a customer because you're actually building a very good relationship between him/her with the company. I sold off all the peanut butter and cheese flavor. I got a lot compliment from customers and even sales person from the biscuit company. That's my satisfaction and this satisfaction drive me to another stage. This is my intrinsic motivation, no one can decide it for me.  

I know many people might thinking, I just do the talking, no photos, no videos, no prove at all. But in fact, you don't have to explain to others how much effort you put in, how much time you consumed, all this explanation you can keep it away because when the moment you start explain, you already lose on the game. You don't need to explain because when you got your own result, people will come to you. 

Every successful entrepreneur do not have a lot friends when they just started their business because when it comes to problem, people tend to avoid it, especially money issue. Only few of true friends will be side of the entrepreneur. Believe it or not ? Observe yourself. Once they entrepreneur come out something big and success, people automatically will go towards him/her just to get something that will benefit themselves. People never think of what kind of benefit can they give to others or society  but only think of what benefit can they get from others. 

That's all for today. More sharing on next post. 

Till then, xoxo :)
