This man failed by learning by his mistakes. Some of you pointed out that he had many former employees behind him in his new venture. Do any of you realise how difficult it would be to keep your employees motivated, and completely on your side after you’ve gone bankrupt. He must be a great leader, and I doubt that he was born with some lucky charm to teach him how to lead either. No doubt he will have learned how to do that from his mistakes.

Thanks again for a wonderful uplifting post.

Borned in 1964, I am a 42 year old regional business manager. Consider me the ‘baby-boomer’. Most of the people I saw in Adam’s blog and seminars are the gen X, Y or the latest Gen C. Gen C stands for generation CONTENT. Tis is the thing that most Baby-Boomer does not know. We are brought up in an environment that is protected.. and during our time when we came up to work, Singapore was full of work and salary rate went up every year. People buy HDB flat. Upgrade every 1-5 years and make lots of $$ from the stocks. Curing those time, buying a HDB will SURE TO make money.

Singaporean in my age group (41-50), by and large, do not have the fighting spirit. This story comes in timely.

I have travelled around the world while working as WW product marketing, later Sales Director for Asia and so on.. I have met many corporate managers, earning high income, being retrenched after working for a long period in MNCs. Suddenly, they become desperate and at the age of 40+ and more…. very difficult to find work.

Mr Lim’s story tell us that irregardless of our age, we can still strike.. all we need is to have that REASON. We need to find that WHY. And this is the hardest thing to do.. ie to find that WHY. Mr Lim has found that WHY..

For these reasons, I have found my WHY to start internet marketing business to help people at my age group find that. I have started a blog site http://entrepreneur-2b.blogspot.com while I’m still working in MNCs.

Adam has also inspired me with his work. And for this WHY, I have asked my sons to learn from him.

The recent GST increase is also another lesson I want to take this opportunity to let everyone who read this know. We cannot always depend on our government to take care of us when we are old. How much can CPF help us? Is it enough? It is better for us know to find the WHY, and the WAY to get rich. The only way to get out of this problem is to be rich.

Why Internet Marketing?? I have always encourage my friends around me ( even non-Singaporean) to involve in Internet Marketing business. ’cause it is one business we can do it anytime, anywhere and while we sleep I understand that Adam Khoo’s Learning centre also started Internet Marketing education (by Stuart Tan). This is something good. Hopefully, many older guys enrol into this program. While Mr Lim has the 2 key factors ( ie Business Experience and Contacts and Employees that gave him that emotion and WHY), Ordinary folks who do not have these factors can try Internet Marketing. Internet Marketing is good for age 8 to 88 ! No age limit.

So, if there is any one reading this that falls under my age group, my encouragement is that we should not stay status quo and depend solely on our government. We have good government, but they cannot help everyone.. we need to help ourselves.

I have read your latest book, really very good…

Now I have started a blog about Navision (ERP Solution). This is my first blog.

Thanks Adam.
