How Has Adam Khoo Changed Your Life?

Mr Adam Khoo,

Humbly speaking, you are my titan and i can lovely assure you that am a great fan of success, and because of the things i witnessed while i was growing up that made me to have faith in God and in myself. And i can assure you that i “MUST” make it in life with the help of God and hard work.

I always call myself a “goalgetter” because in the words of John Mason, he said that: “the road to success is always under construction” and i always find that quote pretty good. I just want to say thank you in a million times for being on the council for me. Atleast, if earth were to have thousands like you the world would have been a better place for us.

My humble regards to you and your organisation. And may luck continue to smile on you.

Yes, you are very right dear !! Previously, I used to be very ’sian’ in waking up, going to work and prepare anytime to get retrenched or quit cos the working environment & colleagues just simply dont suit me, but after I graduate from your POE Program, I change my working attitude by being more committed and energized to add values to my organisation, I start to feel that the working environment and the people around me also started to change !! That’s is really amazing !! For things to change for the better, I must change positively first……

I also change my girls using POE, who are used to very ’sian’ to wake up and go to certain boring class, into more ‘willing’ state whenever they wake up to go for that class….

BIG THANK YOU TO YOU ADAM AND STUART, I will promote your program to anyone who want to improve their lives and their children who want to study well !!

Kindest Regdss

HI Adam!

I know i owe you a testimonial, my apologies for sending you this extremely late. =( I’m Clara, the teaching intern whom you met when you did IAG in punggol sec few weeks back…if you can recall.. haha. Here’s my A levels results by subjects :

H1 GP: B
H1 PW: B
H1 Chinese: A
H1 Mathematics: A
H2 Economics: A
H2 Geography: A
H2 Literature: A

It is really unbelievable to see myself getting these results. From a PSLE aggregate of just 196 , to a raw score of 14 (L1R4) in O levels to getting 5As in A-levels. . .

When i participated in your IAG three years back, in 2006, i could never have imagined being able to be one of the top students in my jc. In fact, before IAG, i didnt even thought of going to a jc! i didnt know what i wanted, or where i wanted to go. Or perhaps subconsciously i knew, but i was just too shy or afraid to come into terms with them…

The issue is not about how much fun people can have or how much they can enjoy the camp… it is not so much about how the camp can bond the whole class/school together either. But rather, how we can use the knowledge that we were taught to apply in our studies and lives so that we can reach our goals. IAG has opened up a new platform for me to find out more about brain-based learning and ways to motivate myself even AFTER the camp, enabling me to maintain the momentum and drive to study and do well in school.

I also want to thank you for inspiring me in doing what i like. I remember you saying: ” do what you like, and when you do what you like, you be the best in what you do…” Previously a pure science student in secondary school, i followed my heart amd switched to the arts stream in jc. No regrets for doing that! I enjoyed doing the subjects tremendously.. and perhaps that contributed to my nice results as well…

Lastly, i would like to show my appreciation to YY and danny.. for keeping in-touch with me even after the camp, willing to lend me a listening ear and give me advice whenever i needed.. Especially yy, whom i constantly PESTERED AND IRRITATED during my O levels and JC years… THANK YOU! =)

I know i will be meeting people from all walks of life in university… people who are smarter, more intelligent, more ”lucky”.. etc. I’ll have work extra hard and be even more motivated to do well!

p.s This is a little piece of interview (ignore the picture, you will faint)

Hi Adam,

I can into the camp with low self-esteem, though I have made it to NUS, I had the mentality that I am always just an average kid with nothing to be proud of and having no strengths. From the camp, I did manage to discover who I am, especially after the activity of listing down the things which I have achieved from my childhood till this point of my life. That activity made me realise that I do have things I should be proud of and my life so ar had not been a total waste, it is a matter of perspective. Previously, I have only focused on what I have gone wrong and allowed myself to bury in self-pity, yet now I have realised that there are no failures, these are just stepping stones for one to grow stronger in life, the will move on from there and learn from mistakes.

On day 3 of the camp, when I looked into the mirror that morning, I have no longer seen myself as the living dead, living life with the expectations of the socitey and with no focus in life. I see that I have made it so far in the education system in Singapore and I can see the potential I had.

Though till day 4, I have pretty much changed the way I think about myself, I am still someone who was very reserved and didn’t want to move out of my comfort zone to take initiative in things. When you were up on stage, asking what do we want, everyone just sat there, not doing anything, I still fear the judgement of people. Even when you did the 2nd time, using the “36hr plan” as a stake, I took action only after people had gone off. When you gave all of us the last chance to be paired and ask us how much do we value success, that is when I realise that I really wanted to succeed in life. Not only in studies, but in other aspects as well. I realised that i didn’t do stuff in life for my mum, I did it for myself. Thank you for that activity, which became my turning point and will always be remembered. It had such an impact, I still remembered those strong emotions I had when I claimed for that “piece of paper”.

I would like to thank all the people who has made this camp a success. The coaches, every single one of them has been really commited. Trainers have been doing their best to enable us to achieve the goal of self-discovery and some really important principles in life. Standing on stage to thank them yesterday was only a very small gesture as by doing so, I have achieved my first goal of wanting to stand up for myself and speak before an audience.

I appreciate all efforts that was made by everyone contributing to this camp experience.
Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
Nicole Lim

Subject: A note of appreciation

Dear Adam,

My son, Jerome, attended your superkids camp 16-20 June 2004 and I was there for his graduation. Before I
enrolled him for this camp, I was skeptical as to how it could possibly help my son. He is a sensitive and
nice boy but lacks the motivation and focus to carry him through both in his studies as well as in other
areas. I was also concern about the long hours he had to be away from me. My opinion changed when I fetched him home on the first night.

He was not only still energetic but very keen to return the next day! I thought it was only for the first night but all through the five days, I could feel him slowly changing into a very mature and sensible boy. He appreciates his family more and now tries very hard to keep to his timetable. He no longer tells me that ‘I
am so bored’ and ‘I find life very meaningless’.

I thought I should know him better than anyone else and that my teaching and preaching methods about life are the best suited for him. How wrong I was! Although I often told him before that he has to love himself
first before he even tries to love anyone, it did not seem to work as well as when you told him. To cut the
long story shorter, I just want to tell you that I am very happy with the way you handled the kids, together
with your trainers, of course. One of Jerome’s coaches, Desmond, called the other night to check on Jerome’s progress. I told him that I noticed his enthusiasm waning. Any suggestions from you how to stop it from waning further?

Jerome has a brother who is in J1 and after having done well for his ‘O’s (he was last in class in sec 3)
he is starting to get very complacent. I wanted him to go for your ‘I am Gifted So Are You’ camp this september, but he was very adamant about going. He said you had given a talk in his school (ACSI) once
and that was good enough for him. No amount of convincing could change his mind. Any suggestions?

Lastly, my daughter is on summer break till end August and so impressed was I with you guys that I have
enrolled her for your ‘Patterns of Excellence’ seminar this thursday 22 July. She is also very curious to see
and listen to the people who managed to put that sparkle into Jerome’s life!

May I take this chance to thank all at AKLTG, especially you. Hope you can bring more meaning and
sparkle to all who are willing to let you help them discover their own strengths!

Best wishes and warmest regards,
Jessie Lee

Dear Mr Adam Khoo and Mr Stuart Tan,

First of all, I like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, for giving me the courage to achieve anything I want in life. Your life stories have always been an inspiration to me, reminding me that if you guys can do it, so can I.

Whenever I’m feeling down, or I’m not doing what I expected, you become the voices to ‘kick my ass’. Both of you have pasts that are so similar to mine— being underachievers, inept speakers and were unable to form rapport with people. I can’t say I am an effective communicator yet, but I’m working hard and I will never give up until I reach my goal.

Speaking of this, I actually couldn’t believe that I can be here today, writing this. I told myself I will only write to you until I achieve this target—attending one of your programs.

YES! I’ll be attending the ‘Patterns of Excellance’(Mod 1 Empowerment) from 16th July 2009 to 19th July 2009.

This dream has been living on for three years. I first heard about this course by reading the book, ‘Master Your Mind, Design Your Destiny’ back in 2005.(The cover I got doesn’t have Mr Adam Khoo’s handsome face on it though. Haha.) Actually, I had been to your workshop once as a student in 2004.

My school, Bendemeer Secondary, has organised ‘I Am Gifted, So Are You.’ for us, three days just for S$300+. POE may costs ten times that amount, but at that time, most students still considered it very expensive, and that includes me. Like most people, I wasn’t looking forward to it as firstly, I find it very intensive. I already couldn’t stand the school’s long hours, and heck, this workshop takes freaking 9am to 9pm for three consecutive days?! Oh dear.

But the most important factor is I doubt that it can change my life. In fact, I actually thought you guys are so overrated and it‘s the media who makes overstatements. Why, it sounds like a bloody fairy tale.

I’m so pleased that you have proved me wrong, so wrong.

Those three days have opened a whole new world for me, the power of NLP. Of course, I get to meet you guys.

Well, only one of you.

I heard a lot about Mr Adam Khoo and was rather excited to meet him in person. (and I’m also elated as I could skip the dreadfully boring classes to attend this!) But it ended up Mr Stuart Tan was the one who came to my school, and I’m satisfied nonetheless.

Mr Stuart Tan is so ravishing and encouraging on stage, and it’s still entirely imprinted in my mind even now. I couldn’t believe that you’re such an excellent speaker that you made me cry on the second day of the workshop, ‘scolding’ us to have the gratitude for everything in life. It felt kinda like a hypnosis. But I never feel so happy being lectured, ever.

Thank you, Mr Stuart Tan and the trainers, and definitely, to my school eternally for giving us such a great gift. We’re too spoiled.

I said that ‘neither self-help books nor seminars can change my life’.
Yes, that’s true. It’s because right after the workshop, I just sit down and wait for external circumstances to make things work. I did feel motivated, but this feeling is like drinking coffee, taking drugs or smoking for energy boost. It gives you the goody-goody feeling, but only temporary. Then when it’s gone, you’ll only be there cursing, “Damn! Not another peak talk again!!!”

Sorry but of course it won’t work, unless you make it work yourself, that you have the right beliefs and values to change!

However at that time, I didn’t learn my lessons. So I keep doing what I’m doing while the universe is always nudging me with signals. Life goes like this. Sometimes, it throws you into a wall, hands you a lemon or keeps you going in circles. We get hit by little pebbles, first as a warning. When we ignore the pebbles, here comes a brick in your face. Ignore that too and sooner or later, we get wiped out by a boulder with a sledgehammer as a bonus. If we’re honest and have the gut to face our fears, we can see what we went wrong and improve upon them.

Easier said than done, I was scared out of my wits for many years.

Drawing.

I’d been doing it as a kid, but it was until I was fifteen which I acknowledge this talent of mine. It was then I decided to pursue a dream as an artist, or more specifically, a mangaka. (Japanese comic artist) I set a target to enter NYP(Nanyang Polytechnic)‘s DMD(Diploma in Digital Media Design), one of the most recognised program in Singapore’s creative industry. Sadly. I didn’t do well for O’level, but I managed to get into a course related to my passion.

I studied in NAFA(Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts) for Fine Arts but I dropped out within a year. I was working part-time at the time and my schedule is so hectic to a point, I couldn’t handle juggle both of them well at the same time. As a student, it should be my utmost responsibility to put studies as the and the highest priority. But I did a very silly act. Nonetheless, within a few months or two, I bounced back by doing something phenomenal.

Hearing the news that my dream course, DMD is conducting an art interview, I went forth for it. I make it a MUST as I don’t have the result to enroll, so this has become my only ticket. Within a week or two, I built an impressive portfolio that allowed me to enter the course. I did it. I really did it!

This sounds like a happy ending, until I made the same old stupid move again.

I had to work as I came from an underprivileged family. And so, all my siblings have started working since secondary school. I stopped taking pocket money from my parents since sixteen, and all these years, I am able to afford to pay my own bills and get the things I want by my own. So I still work while studying in NYP. But this time, the stress I felt was tripled by my previous experiences, due to a even more packed time-table that I didn’t expected and my failures, reprimanding me that failure is not a option.
I was burned and broke down completely, without even letting my closest loved-ones to know. Overwhelmed by fear and despair, I started skipping school and I hid the fact that I had stopped school for almost half a year before I revealed this to my family. They were devastated, not just by my actions, but I chose to bear the burdens all by myself.

Those were one of the darkest days of my life.

I was so depressed that I tried to commit suicide, twice.

For the first time, I tried killing myself with drug overdose. I prefer to die a peaceful and rather, a pretty death. Silly, I know. It’s instructed that you shouldn’t excess 8 caplets in a day, so I took 9 at once. Heck, It didn’t work, even though I was in a coma for a hour.

So I proceeded to Plan B, the most common way of suicide in Singapore, jumping from buildings. It’s ugly, but it’s the fastest and easiest way to die. Before I took my life, I ate a banana and realized I had forgotten to write suicide letters to my loved-ones, and so I went to do them. After that, I was about to step on the chair and fly out of the window, you know what happened?

I stepped on that very banana peel which I ate and littered on the floor, ran into walls and was unconscious for the second time of the day.

I can laugh it off like a joke now, because it sounds ridiculously comical. But when I was there at that moment, I cried.

I was so close to death, so close to it. Just one more step and I will throw myself to death. How can I be so selfish to my loved-ones? How can I be so selfish to myself?

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless I live so cowardly that I might as well not have lived at all. In a word, I have already failed in the first place by not trying.
In order to succeed, you dare to fail.

I’ve always been living in the mindset of a victim, ridden with guilt and fear. I used to think that I was here to be punished. But in the pain that accompanies adversity are lessons worth searching.
We’re here to be educated. Everyone who walks into our lives and everything that happens to us is our teachers, and they’re here for a reason. So once you figure out the problems and conquer them, opportunity comes knocking on your door.

I failed to get a diploma, I failed not to make the same mistakes twice, I failed to realise my dreams. But what I was given, are true gifts that are painfully won— wisdom, strength and perseverance that are more worthwhile than any qualification acquired in schools.

Of course that doesn’t mean I will stick with my O’level forever, even though I believe that success in school has very little to do with someone’s abilities and skills in the real world. Rest assured, as I will continue my studies to expand my options, both in counseling and in art.
Dreams never die , but they just become a smaller part of your life. But whenever you’re ready, they will come back nonetheless. Drawing will always be something very special to me. It’s a gift bestowed to me and I will make sure I use what I was given to give back to others.

I attached the very goals I set when I attended “I Am Gifted, So Are You” many years ago. Even though I revised many versions, this remains as the most genuine of them all. Most of my goals today, are still very similar to this one. This plan is not specific, especially the part about being the young millionaire which is …very silly and too vague. But let’s see if I can become one before 26…Teehee.
I’d achieved some of it, like scoring A1 for my Mathematics. I got B3s for both subjects at the end. That’s good enough, and this is from someone who has failed Maths for almost her entire life! (But I absolutely love Maths to death now.) Another one is learning Japanese. I learnt Japanese for four years, and planning to retake my JLPT 2 (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), which is the second highest level of the test.

So I did realize another one of my dream recently. I finally met Mr Adam Khoo for the first time as I went to the preview of POE on 29th April 2009! You may not know but I just mention it anyway. I was the girl who sat at the first row. HAHA!

I wanted to come forth to introduce myself to Mr Adam Khoo on that night after the talk. But at that time, I was busy being ‘kiasu’, signing up for the special price. Well, I actually do not have enough money to pay for the program, but whatever. To hell with it, I decided to put myself on the line. After all, I waited this for three bloody years!

So I will see you, Mr Adam Khoo and Mr Stuart Tan, when POE has arrived. I can’t wait for the ‘reunion’, and I’ll be sure to introduce myself and thank you personally. I can assure you, this won’t be the last email I have for you. But I will also assure you not to agony with such a lengthy one for the next time.
I’m so sorry.

Meanwhile, thank you so much for spending your precious time with this email, even though you have such busy lives. Please continue to inspire many other people. Best regards to you and I’m looking forward in seeing you two soon.

Thank you.

Yours Truly,

Hi Adam

It was not me who attended the ‘I am Gifted so are you”, it’s my son whom I have registered.

He just finished the 16 to 19th March 2006 workshop. I have meant to write you an email to thank you today. Since you have written, I might as well just reply directly.

You have done my family a very big favour. Jon was super charged up and his outlook in life changed drastically. He is a very good natured boy and has a wonderful heart; but he is lazy and playful; is hot-tempered and did badly in school, and never quite believe he can make it in school; hence I sent him to you. You are fantastic Adam – I could kiss you for what you have done for my dear son. Jon is my heart-throb.

After attending the workshop in March, Jonathan came back all excited about what he’s learnt and he brought home a totally changed outlook in life. Even I the mum and his dad were encouraged by him and we learn from him. Every night (without fail) before we sleep, he keeps talking and talking and talking and talking about what happened in the workshop and how you taught him. You are really funny and cool. You have gone a long way teaching 1 child – you have actually reached out to several others when they go about sharing what they’ve learned form you; because, it didn’t stop at us. I went back to office and I started telling my friends how blessed I was by my son; about what he learned from AKLTG. AKLTG will get more and more famous because I encouraged my friends to go for the briefing and to attend the workshop. Hence, through Jonathan 1 person, you have reached several others. A few engineers in my company now asked me to lend them your books which I did. I believe after reading it, they too will be interested to attend. I work in a French IT company, taking care of the HR Dept; I work with all engineers basically.

Jon came home from school yesterday telling me how he’s applied what he’s learned from the workshops. He helps his friends in school who always think lousily about themselves. He told me what he said to them to encouraged them and to help make them pick themselves up; and to believe they can make it. For instance, in a basket ball game; one of his friends told him he cannot do this and cannot do that. Jon patiently talked to this friend of his and taught him how to shoot. Guiding him and telling him no one is born a basket ball player; and how he too used to be lousy and today, is good…..He likes to share what he knows so that others can be helped. He told me that he likes to see people being helped and he wants to be that person wherever possible, this makes him happy. I think, all our family has the same gifting from God. We owe it all to you.

My son, Jonathan Joel Sng Li Ren, was so disappointed to receive his certificate without his full name; could you ask your staff to generate a new one for him with his fall name “Jonathan Joel Sng Li Ren” – because he is so proud of it and treasure it so much, but was disappointed his full name is not stated in there). Do give him a surprise this Saturday – TOMORROW!

One thing if you allow me to suggest : could you encourage these teenagers to control themselves not to get involved in the opposite sex till they finished their studies? I think getting involved will definitely affect their studies as they lack time. He met several ‘chio’ gals in the workshop too. You know what I mean? I hope he would pay more attention to his studies.

Another thing you will be interested to know. I’m so glad you get the friendships they made in the workshop going. Organising meeting up sessions. Jon simply cannot wait for tomorrow, 25th March to go for the booster course. He can’t wait to meet his new friends. Said they are all so ‘cool’ and even the coarches. He said he wants to be a coach but wondering how he could get it fitted into his tight schedule. Please help him make the right decision as he is taking his ‘O’ Levels this year.

Thank you very, very, very, very, very much for creating the transformation in my son Jonathan. I told him to keep up with that spirit, and he can be the next ‘Adam Khoo’ haha. Don’t worry, you will always be the ‘Si-fu’. Cheers.

God bless you always,

Dear Adam,

Thanks for your coaching on wealth academy. I am really inspired after the course. I had totally changed the way I used to think which is worry, blaming and complaining instead of taking corrective & positive action most of the time.

I am running 3 businesses and I had been running the first company for more than 5 years with a total revenue of more than 1 million but I had never enjoyed running the business even thought my companies are growing and making money. After this course, I realized that I found my goal and I had a better vision & mission for my businesses. Throughout the past few days after the course, I had changed many things that create value to my companies as well as my staffs. I am starting enjoying doing business and appreciate things that I possesed.

Hi Mr. Adam.. I am Cindy from Jakarta. I joined your 4-day POE program on 14 May-17 May..
I feel so lucky that I have the chance to join your program. At first, I thought that this might not be useful for my studies and I have lots of other doubts. All I can conclude in the end is that I SHOULD have joined your program much much earlier. On the last day of your program, I had the thinking that I would forget some of your motivating and inspiring words. I really don’t want that program to finish. Ya…. Fortunately, you gave us this “homework” of reading our goals, mission and succeed creed. It does really help me you know. Thanks!

For the succeed creed, the phrase that I remember the most is “I THINK BIG, I BECOME BIG.” Somehow that phrase keeps on echoing in my mind. And for the goals that I have written down, I have done some practice on it. For instance, one of my goals is to continue learning my German language. So what I did some revision on it from books and internets. Previously, I almost gave up in studying that language because as usual I did not have much time on revising and practising it(excuses). However, thinking of the fees that I have paid for, I felt “stupid” for not continuing it. I am committed that I will continue learning it too in Spore, even if there will be many many assignments from school.

In the workshop with your & Stuart’s explanation, I realized that all of my thought was wrong.

And because of my ability to make good decision, I don’t delay my work anymore.

Hi Adam

Thought I’ll drop you a note to thank you for the Wealth Academy session the last few days. I have had very little exposure to NLP, motivational & wealth management training programs before this and must admit that I went for your preview with some skepticism.

I stand corrected today having completed the WA program. For me the fees is nothing compared to the solid value you delivered.

The WA is a very comprehensive programme covering business & life philosophy, personal finance management and investment techniques catering to beginners and intermediates. In addition, the millionaire game is well-designed to incorporate elements of personal finance management and investment know-how, especially for newcomers. Meeting like-minded participants is a bonus and I’m already looking forward to your booster sessions.

The friends I’ve made all agree that this is an excellent programme which is very well executed. I’m sure it can only get better with future runs. It is inspiring to hear about your struggle and effort and I’m sure you’ll achieve and exceed the clear goals you outlined. Your passion and committment to your teaching and business is obvious and contagious. My money is where my mouth is – I already own three of your books/products, in addition to WA.

I have some feedback which I hope is useful for you, based on my understanding of the Indonesian society and culture.

1. The level of English in Indonesia is substantially lower than that of Singapore. While interacting with Indonesian locals, I typically use simple English or Bahasa (I do try) so they understand what I’m saying.
2. Not sure if you agree but I would think that the sophistication of the attendees is probably lower than that of Singapore. As such, they may require more time to cover basic terminology and concepts. This is also based on open feedback during the last part of the programme.

Do feel free to share your comments and thoughts.

I’m wondering if you’ll like to raise awareness of the programmes you’re running in Indonesia. I have some friends and contacts in the media industry and can explore whether we can do an interview (semi-putting myself on the line) to raise your profile.

Don’t hesitate to let me know if you ever need any assistance.

Cheers,
TAN Yong Han

Hi Adam,

I just want to say, that this program really helps me to be in focus of my goals and kept pushing me to move forward to my goals. I felt more confident, more focus and more willing to take action, it also helps me to stay and think positively throughout the day.

I’m not easily tired, I felt more in control of my emotions. And now I’m anchored to the intro of “Eye of The Tiger” song, whenever I heard that intro song I get this sudden feeling of confidence and power, man that feels awesome.

Thank you so much for the help and support, I’m really grateful to you and for the people that supported me.

Warm Regards,
Chris

Dear Mr Adam Khoo,

Hi! I am a 15-year old singaporean boy and i am greatly inspired by your life story and am currently reading your book Design your life, Master your destiny. Apparently i haven’t completed the book but after reading and listening to your various audio programs and reading some of your books, I realise modalling was an essential part of your success. When you were 13 u went to a superkids program and after that within 3 months you was among the top students in your school and you did that by modalling. One question sir, is that how do u modal people who are extremely good at mathematics? I have a good friend who doesn’t practise much mathematics except at the eve of the exam and yet he still tops the class with flying colours(in math related subjects like physics and additional mathematics). In mathematics and math related subjects like physics and additional mathematis it seems that we have to duplicate the intelligence of this type of people, but like you have said, we all have the same neurology, so if others can do it, so can you! I can see this motto of yours emphasize in many of your books and audio programs. But the question is, how do you duplicate one’s intelligence?

I was awed by your determination and courage to put yourself on the line by telling everybody that you were going to Victoria Junior College when you were in Ping Yi secondary school. Back then everybody was discouraging you and telling you that you couldn’t but you proved them wrong. But like you I have great goals to top my school in GCE O levels which is next year but i do not put myself on the line like you did afraid of losing friends and being accused of being proud. Are there other methods to put myself on the line or make it a MUST?

The last thing I want to is to annoy you with my email so feel free not to reply.

Regards,
Yew Kit

Hello Adam,

I have read many financial and self-motivation books since the last 9 years until I saw your book (actually discounted 20%) last year when I was in book fair, to be honest I didn’t know who you are, because I have read many books I came across many non genuine authors who after I read their book I became dissappointed so usually I will not buy just any book because I don’t trust all authors

With your book I gave it a chance and bought it along with many other books, after long time I almost forgot your book and keep delaying myself to read it, one day in sep or oct last year I found myself reading your book and guess what the timing was really right, the US financial crisis just about to hit my country and as soon as I read the warren buffet part of your book I called my banker to open up brokerage account for me and straight away without any hesitation I practice all your teachings in this book and bought huge sums of carefully selected stocks with very good fundamentals with a hope it can beat my previous investment record of 7-8% net profit every year, I was just hoping if I can get at least the same this would be good enough. To cut the long story short, today I checked all my stocks portfolio I have accumulated about 31% capital appreciation, WOW! For your info, the book was Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires and it only cost me nothing and today if I sell my stocks it will already gives me about 31%. The financial crisis is not even over yet, as you said the economic recovery probably takes from 3-5 years, imagine when the index reach the peak again how much money will I make, probably easily 100% net profit or more from my investments.

As I mentioned, I have already had my motivation and quite good financial literacy background before I read your book but I gained more after, I have already had quite good situation financially and earned a huge income that I am proud off (active and passive incomes) before I read your book and I am only slightly older than you but with your book it gives me more way to make much more money i.e. High Growth Stocks incomes.

Thank you so much, I hope we can meet one day, share and learn from each other. Also I hope you can share with me about your choices of stocks currently if you don’t mind so that I can learn more from you, my e-mail as above

Subject: Adam, you unleashed my full potential!

Dear Adam Khoo,

How are you feeling today? It was awesome to attend your workshop, I was really recharged! My friend and I can’t stop talking about how much we benefit from what you shared.

Today, I would like to share my wonderful experiences. My life has been literally transformed since I attended your workshop for the first time. It was about 2 years ago when I was seriously searching where to look for help. I was depressed and felt totally lost after my brother, grandmother and mother passed away within 3 consecutive years.

At that time, somehow I kept on seeing your advertisements and passed by your centre often. I was not so convinced yet though it spoke to me a lot, but I decided to at least give myself a chance to know more
about it. Fair enough, when I attended your workshop, my heart said, “This is the one I have been looking for!”

After I attended your seminars, I was super motivated and strove to find a job I really love. Soon, I happened to be asked to join Tempstaff Singapore Pte Ltd, the 2nd biggest recruitment agency in Japan. Currently, I enjoy working as a personnel consultant to match jobs to job seekers. (I called myself Job Cupid :->) Many of my friends saw me working with passion and said, “Wow, it is so suitable for you, finally, you found your calling!”

New job scope is totally different from my background in Finance & Accounting and administration. The major career change was challenging and required a lot of hard work, but I was confident because I know I
can apply what I learned from you into my work. With your proven methods, I was able to shorten my learning curve and closed 3 deals on the 1st month while it usually took for 3-6 months or more just to have the first one since we focus on niche market. I was recognised as a top performer immediately! Not only that, after 6 months, I got a phone call – a headhunter tried to headhunt me to be a headhunter.

When I travelled to Japan for business trip, I even had an opportunity to be introduced to our president and founder of Tempstaff Co., Ltd, Ms. Yoshiko Shinohara. I am so proud of myself to meet her as she is the only Japanese woman to be on Fortune magazine’s list of the “50 Most Powerful Women in Business – International” for 9 consecutive years. With a friendly smile, she acknowledged my efforts and asked for my name card in order to remember me! I would never forget the moment in my life.

I am really grateful for your amazing work till I don’t know how many times I should say to you, “Thank you so much!”. It was only a few years ago when I lost hope and cried almost everyday. Now, I see myself with full of potentials and believe I can succeed. Thanks to you, I am sure more and more people will have transformation. You are truly source of inspiration, I am looking forward to coaching for your upcoming seminars and being a part of transformational life journeys. See you soon!

Love and gratitude,
Yumi Kitahama

Hi, I’m Bobby Sidharta (16) from Jakarta, Indonesia.

First of all, I want to THANK YOU for all the trainers, coaches and especially ADAM KHOO that really change my mindset and lifetyle.After having a GREAT CAMP, I feel really motivated to do everything, I started to talk to everybody, gaining confidence talking in public, respecting parents more, how to study effectively and enjoyed it, and how to LOVE MYSELF MORE.

After the camp, I quickly do what The “Congratulations paper” say what must I do:

When I read and revise the manual & notes, I regret that I didn’t make much notes that like everybody does, that’s my mistake, I DIDN’T PARTICIPATE 100% ON CAMP

Then I Put Motivational Posters in My room, that makes me feel better. If I met something that discourages me or makes me depressed, I know that I keep FOCUS ON MY OUTCOME NO MATTER WHAT DISTRACTED ME AND HARRASING ME

Next, I Complete My Goals and Life Path, that goals empowers me, my GOALS is BECOMING NASA TECHNICIAN, so, I’ll DO MY BEST to MAKES THE GOALS COME TRUE NO MATTER WHAT. And I started to realize that my family, my entire family supports me to the goal, that makes me very motivated and should do my best to make them proud of me

Later, I did my Monthly Planner, whaen I did that, I achieve the BELIEFS if I DO WHAT I SCHEDULED, I WILL SUCCEED. If I DO EVEN BETTER THAN I SCHEDULED, I WILL SUCCEED EVEN MORE.

CHOICES HAVE CONCEQUENCES, IT JUST HOW I CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHOICE.

Then, I did the weekly planner, with it, MY LIFE WILL BECOME MORE WELL-ORGANIZED.

After That, I did the 10 Step study process, even now it’s only 3 steps for now, I will do everything that I must, because I want to SUCCEED

Lastly, I want to THANK YOU, REALLY BIG THANK YOU TO ADAM KHOO, I RESPECTED YOU AS SAME AS I RESPECT MY PARENTS, BECAUSE OF YOUR BOOK, “I AM GIFTED SO ARE YOU™” I COULD PASS GRADE X WITHOUT FAILING, AT THE FIRST 6 MONTH, I GOT 8 RED SCORE, BUT NOW, I GOT BIG IMPROVEMENT, I ONLY GOT 1 RED.

Dear Adam,
I would like to thank you for your inspirational lecture given at Kepple Towers on Wed, Jul,09. I first discovered your book, “I am gifted, so are you”, while browsing books at the Popular bookshop. As I am a retired teacher from Myanmar, I liked the booked so much that I wanted to translate it into Burmese ( Myanmar) in the near future. Our students will love the memory enhancing techniques and mind mapping tips very much. I also like the Secrets Of Self-Made Millionaires. Last year I attended your seminar at Amara hotel. This time I brought my wife ( also a teacher) along and she found the talk highly motivating.

Hi Adam – thanks for the note.

I have benefited a lot from your earlier book authored with Conrad titled “Secrets of Millionaire Investors”. With practical investing principles gleaned from the book and other external read-ups, since Oct 08, I have invested about $400K in both Singapore and US markets. I managed to buy numerous stocks, including blue chips, at very low prices. Based on today’s share prices, my paper and realized profts are around $300+K.

I will secure a copy of your new book by tomorrow. Hopefully, it is available in any of the Popular Book stores. Looking forward to see whether are there any other good and under-valued stocks I have missed out, and also, on “how to exit from the markets” as mentioned by Conrad on TV.

Many thanks to u and Conrad.

I feel that I’m really gifted for I was allowed to meet you in my Life. Since the camp, I’m very open minded and do what ever it takes every time. I even did things that some of my friends who are the TOP 10 in the school refuse to do. I’m able to memorize lessons or my competitions’ speeches which are 2 A4 page full within 2 minutes by mind map. And in my last monthly test, I score 4/7 ‘100’s but I didn’t feel stressful at all. I remembered that there’s no failure but only learning experience. You’re the most amazing friend I have. I joint your camp 2 months ago, and I told the entire camp that I my outcome is to be the youngest astronaut all over the world. But Adam, what do you think about making A and B LIFE path? It’s not because I think that to be the youngest astronaut is too difficult, but it’s because of I must success so that I need to have a very detail LIFE plan.

I’m Jimmy from Prudential. I just attended the your 999 Secret to Unlocking Your Passion & Fire on 9/9/09.

I had just fulfilled the 7-Day Success Conditioning Challenge. I want to tell you how amazing it is.
The moment I just started using your 7-Day Challenge, magical things seems to start happening around me.
I closed 3 cases total within this 7 Days.

The strangest thing is thing around me just seem to go very smoothly, customer who reject me suddenly give me appointment. Even when I get scolding from my boss, I don’t feel anything negative about it and instead I feel glad to hear his scolding because I am able to hear, what I need to hear. I never feel this way before. It is strangely good and I don’t know why.

I also put your picture into my wall paper and want to remind myself constantly. Thank you very much Adam. I feel I really gain a mountains of knowledge and tools from you. I hope to be the winner of Patterns of Excellence CD. If I can’t get it now, I’ll get it in the future when I make enough money to buy the Patterns of Excellence CD.

Thank you very much for giving us a talk and teach us so much. Have a nice day and may all your wishes come true.

Hi Adam,

This is Jin, the Chief Operation Officer from Soul Thai Restaurant. Although you might not remember me but i graduated from WA and just want to say that your course filled me with the right money mindset and skills to achieve my millionaire dream. Although i am not there yet, the law of attraction brought me into this business and gave the opportunity of a lifetime to become an entrepreneur. Although this is my family business, i believe i am very fortunate to be given this chance as there are many things to learn eg: hiring and managing the right people plus thai chef, purchasing, kitchen and front crew

If not for the right mindset i was taught, I could have become like many of my predecessors (ex Soul thai Managers/management people)whom could not last more than 1 month including my own uncle whom collapse under pressure from board of directors and poor biz sale revenue. I always believe in creating a harmonious system that can systematize and standardize the 3 key department in my restaurant(kitchen, purchasing and front crew). That as an entrepreneur, i should work on the biz and not in the biz. With your expertise and wide network of successful entrepreneurs, could you introduce or provide me resources on managing an food and bistro outlet? Currently i am working on systematizing 2 departments, purchasing and front crew. As Kitchen is a vital department to my uncles whom are my board of director, i face a great challenge in creating a system for the kitchen. Thankfully the current head chef is willing to cooperate with us, however there are other kitchen staff whom are creating conflict with my purchasing department and not following his instruction. Only time and numerous meeting(lolx) can tell whether is the kitchen willing to cooperate or just playing us around.

I wish you had a enjoyable time at my family’s restaurant and massage centre on the 13/10/09, and i would like to have some feedback on the overall experience at the restaurant and massage centre. From a customer’s point of view, what are the areas you are pleased with and the areas where we could improve on?

Your presence that night really spur me to keep moving forward although i have working 14 hours every day since i started on 19/9/09 and was starting to crack.
Now, i am refilled with passion and energy that i should never let my family, my colleagues and the mentors in my life down and show to the world, starting from JB that AKLTG WA program made a difference in my life.

Sadly, i could not get a photo taken with my idol. Please Forgive my forgetfulness and rudeness, cos I intended to treat you for the massage.
Do let me know if you having another management retreat in JB or want to have another nice experience at Soul Thai Restaurant and Soul Asia Massage Centre.
This time my treat.^^

Thank you and have a great life ahead!

Yours Trully,

Thank you for being such an inspirational teacher! I attended both your WAT and POE classes in jkt this year and i must say that u teach WAY BETTER than my finance tutors back in the uni. Much easier to understand and much more applicable in real life.

WAT and POE changed my thought life drastically! Even though i am by nature quite a planner, i never quite “plan” what I want to happen in 10-20 years.

I did the 7 day mental diet and am much focused on the areas that i should focus in my life. Everything seems much clearer and easier and much more fun to work on! Your programs are so good that i have told many of my frens how i benefited from it…Keep up the good work!

Subject: Big Thank You

Hi Adam,

I attended your IAG camp from 30 Nov – 3 Dec 2009. It turned my life around 180 degrees, as I was an underachiever academically and personally I felt like that life sucks. I felt extremely motivated and learnt a lot from it, and set myself down to start taking actions for the journey of success, so Thank You with a capital T and Y. Although it is still the holidays and I have nothing much to work hard and achieve on, I am constantly reminding myself to maintain the high level of motivation in myself, and when the school term starts, give it my 100%. To ‘constantly remind’ myself, I put up the posters I bought from AKLTG on my study room walls. I am also reading your newest book, Secrets of Successful Teens. Though most of the book has been covered in the camp, I thought it would be a revision 3rd revision, at the same time learn extra stuff. Also, I am starting to commit myself to reading books on my new personal interests. That includes biographies, of both political and financial greats (Lee Kwan Yew, and the latest Men in White, Obama, Donald Trump, Anthony Robbins), and books on investment and economics. Recently I went to a Popular bookstore to find books to read and guess what? I was overwhelmed by the wide variety of interesting books, and of course, they cost a bomb altogether. I was wondering if the national libraries do offer these kind of books, and at which section I would be able to find them.

Apart from reading books, I also want to commit myself to starting on a little academic studies for next year, though I have not even confirmed my subject combinations for 2010(i was last in cohord for sec 2, therefore I have been posted to the worst class and I am heavily trying to fight for appeal, and I am using the Ultimate Success Formula to succeed in that). I found language improvement assesment books at Popular as well, and it includes a mini dictionary of chinese idioms(cheng yu), and I am putting myself to learn 10 of them per day. For English Language(even though I am already quite good at it), I will be learning 10 new words per day also, like what you mentioned about the Thai lady you trained, who came here without any experience with English but graduated with First class honours degree in English. I was inspired by that. But I would like to know how that could be achieved. I would have already known many words in a common dictionary. Is there any dictionary or guidebook you know of that emphasizes mainly on advanced vocabulary?

On time management, what you taught in IAG was to plan monthly and weekly planners. I am currently looking for a suitable organizer to record my planned activities. I tried bookstores but what they sell are mostly plain notepads. Can you suggest anywhere possible to get these kind of organizers? (Like the samples you provided at the back of IAG Manual)

Lastly, I would like to share with you my personal goals in terms of academic results and future career path(like what you said, public commitment). Though I might be one of the few hundreds that email you everyday with their letter addressed to you, I hope you can take note of this individual’s goals so that when I achieve them I can share my success with you once more.

Here goes;

1. At least 5 A1s in all exams in 2010. (Secondary 3)

2. At least 6A1s in 2011 MYE. (Sec 4 Mid Years)

3. All 7 A1s for ‘O’ Levels, top student in school, 6 points – 2 CCA = 4 Points, enter Victoria Junior College.

4. Top my JC in ‘A’ Levels and win Singapore Police Force Overseas Scholarship (SPFO).

5. Join Officer Cadet School in SPF – National Service. (Required for SPFO)

6. Enter Massachussets Institute of Technology (MIT) after National Service. (With the scholarship)

7. Acquire First Class Honours Degree in MIT.

8. Acquire MBA while entering the SPF. (With SPFO)

9. Strive hard and acquire rank of Commissioner of Police in SPF, 20 years down the road. (Maybe taking my PhD along the way)

10. Be a multi-millionaire just like you by earning a passive income while maintaining main job as Commissioner of Police. (Investing in stocks, real estate, start an internet business.)

11. And when I have achieved more or less of these goals, I will write a best-selling autobiography of my success and life. And perhaps even join hands with you and write another best-seller on motivational topics and NLP!

Thanks a million if you managed to read until here despite how boring my letter might be.(Not that I have low self-esteem…)
But no matter what, I want to thank you once again for everything.

Best Regards,
Daryl Lim, future Commissioner of Police

Dear Adam,
I won a speech competition in the University Of North Sumatra 2 weeks ago. I was so glad at first, but then when my senior told me that I had a great public-speaking skill and asked me how I could do that, it reminded me on akltg, it reminded me on you, it reminded on my couch and it reminded me on Muhd. Amin, our muddy friend who taught me and my friends those dynamic public-speaking techniques in the graduates gathering session. Well, I could hardly sleep that night, thinking of the entire akltg who had been the best friend and had empowered my life, which really changed me and the camp which had been the warmest home I have ever had. My tears went out about an hour. Wondering when and where the entire camp will be able to gather together. Then I remembered what you had told us. A master can be a great master only if he is able to guidance students who can be better than he did. Then I knew that over all, the only thing which I can do to refund all your support and to make akltg proud is to success in my Life and Study. Brighter future are there waiting for me. Adam, thank you for being my best friend and supporting me..you have been an inspiration for me in the every second of my life. Thank you. I’m going to succeed, Adam. I can do it!

Dear Adam,

Hi, it’s a little too late to wish you a merry christmas but I do hope you’ll have a wonderful new year. I just got my PMR results last Thursday and I want to share the good news with you. I got my first straight A in my high school life and it was for one of the major exams in my life. I know you always receive e-mails or letters like this telling you that they used your methods and score great results. However, I am probably the first one to inform you that I have my own ways of studying. I did used your methods like the mind map but I also add in a little twist of my own flavours and they worked great!

Adam, this is one of the highlights of my life. I don’t mean to brag but I’m just so proud of myself. I worked really hard the whole year and it paid off. I was even second guessing myself a few minutes before I stepped up on the stage to receive my results. I’m not one of the students who are very stable. I am the kind who needs to work their ass off to get what they want. Like in swimming(I’m a state swimmer), I am always the underdog, not many will expect me to perform as well as the others my age. I here standing tall telling you that I’m a fighter, I will not go down easily without a fight.

Also, I’m probably the 1st and youngest family member of my entire family to get straight A. My family I mean the Teo family(my family name is Teo). My father is the youngest of 10 children. Therefore I am also the youngest among my siblings and cousins. I am sure that none of them had score as well as I did. Oh god I’m bragging again, forgive me for that. I am really really proud of myself, from the bottom of my heart. I know my parents are really proud of me too and I thank you for your course that helped me gained confidence. Thank you for your time to read this e-mail, I really appreciate it.

Yours truly,

Yang Jiew

I Am Gifted Programme Malaysia 2008 graduate.

Thanks so much for your attention. Your email updates enables us to act or make decisions immediately. At the same time, we also check on your investment updates on your website.

We have been truly blessed by attending your wealth academy seminar last year and are grateful that you share with us whenever you buy or sell anything.

It is because of your sharing that we did not miss out on this bull run. We have the confidence to put our money in stocks again after losing so much money and it attending your seminar was timely. At this time, am sure that there are many investors who get into the market and made money without any understanding on the stocks and chased the stocks higher and higher. We have bought many blue chips last year and are still holding them. Putting money in FD only gives us less than 1% interest but some stocks have a dividend yield as much as 5 – 8%. So we are actually losing money without knowing it if we stay uninvested.

Many thanks.

Best regards.

William and Sharon

Hi Adam,

I am a Wenjie, an 18-year-old student who just finished my A levels. In 2007, I attended the ‘I am Gifted’ Programme in my secondary school Chung Cheng High School(Main). The 3-day programme was a real eye opener for me and it totally changed my perspective of life and the way i carry out my daily tasks. Though the programme focused mainly on studying techniques, the emotional handling skills helped me the most by regulating my feelings and also my thoughts. Thereafter, i managed to obtain 8 points/ straight distinctions for my O levels, and also obtained a scholarship in my JC, Meridian Junior College.

I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to the trainers, special thanks to Amin and Leroy. They have brought to me valuable lessons about life and i am sure these lessons will bring me far in the near future.

Though this thank you comes abit too late, i hope that my gratitude is conveyed, and if it is possible, i would like to join akltg as a volunteer or a staff, allowing me to share my tiny bit of success and also learn more.

Lastly, thank you so much for touching my life and the lives of many others and also teaching me skills that will indeed contribute to my success in the future.

Regards

Wenjie

Dear Adam,

I’d like to send my gratitude for Vanessa has shown her improvement after the “I am gifted” camp.

She is very motivated to study using the strategy you share and she has shown her effort to be a better person in life, either study or relationship. I’m so amazed she has stronger belief and so BIG dream for a
scholarship in Singapore (we went to an education expo last week, they told us even paying is very difficult to enter public school in Singapore), so I felt so doubtful that day… But Vanessa said to me, “Mommy, I only want to study in Singapore if I can get the scholarship. I will work hard to achieve the scholarship. I’m sure scholarship will be easier to achieve than paying.” Wow… !!

I remember your messages at graduation day at Horison Bandung, we must have goals, even if we can not achieve, it will make us improve. “Success is moving towards the goals”.

Please find a thank you card she sent me a few days ago, when her birthday. It’s very proud to read and share this letter to you.

Thank you very much, Adam and all the coaches and ibu Susan for the opportunity to help my daughter grow.

Sincerely,
Vivi – Vanessa’s mother

Hi Adam,

I would like to share some of my experience after I started to read your books.

Firstly, I should mention that I was introduce to your books by a friend who went to work in KL for 6 month.

We used to talk about the fact that we wanted to change our lifes and become self made millionaires. Unfortunately, after reading some books we realized there was not a book which provide us with techniques and well defined way forwards to start our way. Then thankfully she made her trip to KL and everything started to change!

Initially I thought your book was going to be like any other book, so I was not expecting too much. Although, since I started reading your books, I have changed not only my mindset but my fiancée (at the time), my habits and I believe this is the right way to go.

My fiancee and myself used to live from pay check to pay check and used to have debts in our credit cards. I think your books came in the right moment!

We got married in September 2009 and we paid for all the arrangements without using loans at all. On top of that, we have managed to clear almost all of our credit cards (just one to go but should be cleared next month) and we have also started our way into the investment world.

Looking back, I think I have changed so much, being in debt is not longer of my interest and nowdays I spend plenty of my time reading about companies, trying to understand more and more about finances, companies financials, making value investing analisys, following trends, reading news, etc.

Is still early days for me but as explained before I have benefitted so much from your books. I would suggest people to give your books a try because they are worth!

Best regards

Reinaldo

Dear Adam Khoo

My name is Fahreza Okta and I join this camp at 27-30 december 2009.I want to tell you about my story before I join this camp.. Before I join this camp,I am very lazy for study and always play game every day.I don’t care about my goal and I never thinking about that.In school,I’ve never had a place in top 10 rank.
But after I join this camp and learn a lot of things,I feel become different person.I study diligently and know the time to play game and I make my own goal for the future life and I always thinking about that in my head.

You know what….In school,I’ve had top 10 rank for the first time.I feel very happy and I will get the 1st place before I graduate from my school..
I think that enough for me..

Thank you very much Adam Khoo..

Hi Adam,

It’s been a while since I last wrote to you. I just want to let you know that my baby boy was born on 24th Dec 2 months ago and is growing up healthy and strong now. it’s been almost 2 yrs that my wife suffered the miscarriage which i have almost forgotten to remember. Things had been tough initially but it actually spurred me to move on to our life.

Both of us get closer and we spend more time together where i start to care more about her feeling.
As what you said, seeing and playing with my baby now has simply allowed me to forget about the past and plan towards the future. I always remember what you said. But whatever happened in the past will allow me to appreciate my family members more.

2009 has been a great year for me. Using all the NLP techniques i initially acquired from POE, i have earned more than RM 350,000 in 2009 with another USD 100,000 from trading and investing. I just want to say thank you for being such an inspirational figure to me and it’s POE that make me who i am today. I’m starting my trading floor very soon and i believe everything will get smoother when it is in place.

I just want to say thank you and I’ll be going for a 2 weeks Europe tour with my wife next Monday as a reward to her for giving me a baby boy which i always wanted to have. For all the hard work i’ve gone
through in 2009, i actually rewarded myself with a Condominium that worth RM 800,000 in the heart of city centre in Kota Kinabalu. I really like KK and that’s why i bought a unit there. And also, i’m getting another semi d in KL tomorrow, for the family.

Without attending POE and without all the skills i acquired from you, Stuart and Pete, I wonder whether i can achieve all these by myself. So, I just want to say thank you once again.

Oh ya, by the way, happy new year to you and send my regards to Sally. It’s been a long a long time since i last saw and talked to her.

I wish you all the best for 2010 and see you at the top!

Wei Ping, LEONG
