Business Approach to Wealth Maximisation

I had a wonderful weekend. There was Mega-Sales all over the shopping malls. They were packed with people spending money. Goshh..spending money is so easy. It is engrained in our head to spend money all the time. Thinking about it in a business context, there's opportunities all around us simply because people spend money.

Several weeks ago, I read an article on New Sunday Times newspaper and I saw an article about "The Ways of Rockefellar and Carnegie are still relevant". If you not so familiar about the business world, Rockefellar and Carnegie is a total stranger. I've just know the two names last two years. Who are these people? Simply saying, they are ultra rich people who don't have to go to work like us in the rat race. ;-)

So, what does it have to do for you? Well, wealth maximisation is generally not for me because I'm broke physically, however we can always have a virtual mindset that is set to a 'wealth' mode. It's like what Napoleon Hill famous quote, "Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.". If you didn't know, Napoleon Hill eventually became broke. Oh well, everything in life must come to an end sooner or later.

Seperation of tasks

Studying about wealth maximisation, here's a number of job function that needs to be fullfilled:

• CEO (chief executive officer)
• COO (chief operating officer)
• Administration & IT manager
• Plan development manager
• Operations manager
• Review and control manager
• Research and development manager
• Various products and service specialists

All the job function is the traditional hierarchy as shown on the below image:

Coming down to our own personal wealth, we need to choose smartly which hat to choose to put on to ensure our own wealth maximisation method. Some of the role can be delegated but we need to becareful of that. It reminds me of the outsourcing job that is mushrooming in our world and taking away small tasks that normally big businesses used to handle.

So, as a conclusion, your personal wealth is the most important business. We should all be wealthy.

What Blogging Buys Me

I've been blogging since May 2004 and there are times that I've almost gave up blogging. While sometimes, I've been blogging crap. I now see a constant traffic coming from keyword search from search engines. I guess, when the database is getting bigger, the search engine's spider especially googlebot loves to come and see what's going on here. Anyway, let's see what blogging has bought me:

NOTHING!

You should read this blog posting by one of the most influential blogger in the blogosphere, Problogger Darren Rowse:

More On What Blogging Is Buying Bloggers

I guess because I have no strategy of blogging, it became sort of like a hobby. I think I'll analyze and model on why these bloggers could achieve something that I could not. However, using my blog's PR4 on Google Toolbar, I can easily link website that I've created and in a short while, the website will get listed in Google. I think that is an advantage of having a blog that grows over time.

Well, need to do more reading and more action to get what I want. Work hard and play hard..

Why Is The 2nd Lesson Getting Harder?

Each Saturday, I now take an extra class. So last Saturday, I went to my second class for my one year Cisco Certified Network Associate certification attempt. Since I'm taking the class on a part time basis, 4 hours of class once a week is not enough. I think I'm struggling to keep up with the huge amount of knowledge and information that I have to gain in order to answer each assesment test correctly. At first, the 1st class was easy. There was nothing much to think and memorize.

During the second class, there was 2 new assessment test and I had to answer the test eventhough I haven't read and understand the syllabus. Because of the time constraintment, I had to do what busy office people do, 'multitask'. Multitasking itself is another practice which requires time and perseverence to master. Since the course is done over a computer with an internet connection, it's not that difficult to open up another browser and try to search the answer by minimizing the test. With the use of search engines and the 'find' function on the browser, it made searching for the required answer way much faster.

Being fast doesn't really mean you can answer the question correctly. You still need to understand what the question is in order to answer each question correctly. It reminds me when I was in school where I was eager to learn during the first subject taught in class. In my mind at that time was, I could score an "A" for the subject with no problem. It then wears off after as the lesson get more and more advance. Well, I think I should take one step at a time rather than just doing an express study/revision or more better known as 'the last minute study'.

Should I Respond or Not?

Yesterday, the Celebrity Fitness call person tried to call me. I purposely didn't pick up my phone because I don't want to upset the sales consultant. Am I too kind or what?

I also made a phone call to the workshop and my insurance company where my car is stored after the theft of my car accessories at the KTM Komuter Segambut Car Park early this month. She said that they are still waiting for the insurance company's approval before they could proceed the job. Since I haven't call my insurance company yet, I made an enquiry call and discovered that the workshop just submitted the documents required 3 days ago. Should I ask the workshop office assistant what the hell did she do? or should I just wait for the approval. So many things to think and so many decisions to make.

I think we all need to be constantly reminded and motivated to get things moving swiftly without delays.

What? Another Gym?

I just got a call from another gym called Celebrity Fitness, Subang Parade. Telemarketers are relentless, I hate them. Oh I forgot, I was a telemarketer before. I know how they feel. Anyway, I guess my contact number just became a victim of someone who knows me and refered me as a potential lead to them. Probably the person just wanted the 7 days trial and paid the gym my handphone number along with a few others I guess. I'm not going to waste my time trying to find who that person is.

I've set an appointment on Wednesday evening to go and see the sales lady. I think I'm going to cancel them and gave up a number of people I hate..haha..Gosh, it was like last two years when I got numerous calls to join business opportunities and Multi-Level Marketing. I wonder who else would call me next?
