Happy New Year 2022

This year new year eve di Tawau. Tak de celebrate apa2 except buat live video dengan kalamsclan kat KL. diorang yang gather satu family kat rumah mama ayah. TH and i lepak kat rumah, makan bbq wings yang kami grab, ada satay hati and pedal, and also dengar karaoke dari jiran depan rumah kitorang. bising jugak.

Professional Coaching Service

What is coaching? 

Coaching is a developmental approach to working and interacting with other people. It can strengthen their ability to use a range of influencing and leadership styles. Coaching can help people feel more empowered to make a difference and improve their own effectiveness.

In coaching, fundamentally, the coach is helping the individual to in other words,

• learn more about themselves,
• find out how they are perceived by others,
• and improve on areas of their personalities that they are not satisfied with.
• improve their own performance.
• helping them to learn.

Further, coaching takes learning to a level beyond remembering and understanding. Put simply, coaching is a process that aims to improve performance and focuses on the 'here and now' rather than on the distant past or future.

Stay Positive? [NOT the Covid! - nauzubillah]

everyday cuba jugak nak put the positive vibes in myself. tak mudah sebenarnya. especially when you are really really at the stage yang tak berapa nak positive. masih ada lagi lah saki baki. kalau tak de, korang takkan tengok aku masih tersenyum, masih buat lawak nak menghiburkan semua orang (sedangkan kat dalam hati menangis).

memang kadang2 tu tak ada mood langsung, tak ada mood nak buat apa2. tapi bila start buat tu, enjin memang berdesup pulak. 😂 cuma sekarang ni - well dah berbulan2 sebenarnya aku tak berapa nak consistent. 

aku nak tulis banyak2 pun sebenarnya tak ada mood - still trying to stay positive. for now, check out the image i am sharing below.

What is FEAR?

we had our super friday yesterday and the speaker was COE Ichiro. a very humble man who started of as a dancer and represented Malaysia internationally. he decided to close his dance company at his peak and focus on this business with Nu Skin. 

and he asked us:

• why are we here?
• who are you fighting for?
• what are your dreams?

and what triggered me was when he talked about fear. and he also shared there are 2 ways to define fear. i know what my fear is and we talked about it during the post meeting. it wasn't easy to open up but since the post meeting is for all of us to improve ourselves, i opened up. and thanks to COE Dawn (Ichiro's wife), i got it cleared up. 

so today, i actually faced my fear and just picked up the phone and call up a few of my colleagues from the office and chat with them. alhamdulillah i get result. thank you Allah... alhamdulillah. 

and i will talk more with SR and make this work.. insyallah.. ya Allah i am so grateful today:

1. i had a delicious dinner with my son and his friend
2. i got up still breathing and healthy
3. i get to connect with so many people on LinkedIn
4. i always get the support from my uplines in QEBP group chat
5. i have a loving husband whom i miss so much right now
6. i get to do a few tik tok postings.. yey 😆 [if you want to watch, go to my facebook story, while it is still there ok]

Health - Life- Relationship

Attended an online training semalam. For us training ada banyak jenis, about health, business and also mindset. So this poster was shared. Aku tambah bahagian atas tu sebab kesemua amat penting dlm kehidupan kita.

Health: If u dont take care of it earlier, you will end up getting all sorts of illness and got to be on meds. Akan lebih tersiksa & kos perubatan meningkat as we aged.

Life: Kita tidak bekerja atau usaha sara hidup untuk orang lain sampai kita mati, kena ada simpanan untuk diri kita di waktu kita dah berusia.

Relationship: Pada aku, kalau relationship tu toxic, lepas kan lah sebab sampai bila kita nak bela relationship yang memenatkan minda kita. Have a relationship yang menyokong & make us a better person.

How Do I Define Success To Me?

this question was given towards the end of our post meeting tonight. and my blog is somewhat like a diary or a notebook for me so that i know where to refer to someday. before i proceed, i really like to express my gratitude to Allah swt coz i got extension for my 2 loans payments during this pandemic. alhamdulillah. like i said in my previous posting, there will always be ways to settle certain issues, just believe in His plans. 

So, my definition of success to me at this point of time is when i am able to be healthy, debt free and enjoy my days, with my loved one, (not in any particular order) my husband, my parents and kids. having the financial freedom and to be getting whatever i want for myself or for my kids, and to be able to give more to the society, to whomever in need, without thinking twice - that, is success to me. 

when i look at the 9 stages of financial freedom photo below, i actually remember back my dreams that i once had.

i used to be complacent in what i am doing. i was already grateful with what i have achieved. but you know what, because of those achievements, i did not grow. i actually stopped growing. and in this business, to be in ST team, the people and culture, and environment really help me, to really stretch my talent and capability. it also meant that whatever that i have done in the previous company that i worked for, at this point of time looking back, was not challenging at all if i were to compare with my journey now. 

i truly had a wonderful session today with ST members, and i really love Super Friday as it is a very strong training session to train our mindset and get us back on track. to be positive about things, to belief in ourselves and omg too many to state here. must make it a point to attend every friday.

Zerolimits

Wahh... we both looked so glowing! 😋

Originally I wanted to write a short posting on LinkedIn but I got excited and my write up exceeded the number of words for the a post? 

Confession: I don't read books. The only 'book' that I read now daily is 'Facebook' 😜 And now I am less on Facebook but more on LinkedIn especially after 'knowing' Aziph Mustapha and his active interesting postings. 

Yesterday I met up with an ex colleague of mine from Malakoff 😊 we chat about why and when we both left the company and our satisfaction level before we left and after we left. 

(Thanks to Protege, I learned about scaling during my coaching certification course last year) 

For the scale of 1 to 10 on the satisfaction level, my satisfaction level was at 9 when I left the company. She was surprised that I left after 24 years to complete or achieve my full satisfaction in working or perhaps in life? 😁 To be honest, when I graded myself, I was only thinking of my Customer Service & Marketing Team, and being with them throughout the years and yeah, about myself growing with the company itself. It gave me the experience in many areas, being patient with people is the most valuable one for me 😂 other than leadership skills, coaching & mentoring, and many more or too many to mention here. I am very grateful, alhamdulillah for the years there. 

Have I achieved 10 now after leaving the corporate world and being on my own? I will be there, insyaAllah. Pey Char mentioned to me about a book called 'zerolimits' that I have bought the book but haven't read it yet. And how the book can help me in my business and also most importantly help myself first to clear other issues. I have this habit of buying motivational books but not read them. 

Today, I actually woke up extra early than usual, had my Jumpstart energy drink 😉 and started to read the book. huhuhu 😁😁  Even just from the introduction, I have already started to enjoy reading it and looking forward to finish the book! And as I was reading, I thought of making a video to read out the book by chapters and perhaps share it on YouTube? Should I? The idea came because I used to listen  from YouTube 'The Magic' while driving to work last time. 

I am sharing this because I am so happy that I decided to read again 🙈 And insyaAllah, I want to be the previous me, who would spend at least an hour a day to read - I was more positive then than now. Well, I am a positive person but at times I would be a little bit off track? You know what I mean. 

Being Lazy is NOT Good For You

had a short reflection of what i am now, what i was before and what do i wanna be in the future. and i must be honest to you and myself that i am ashamed of myself right now? my revenge is not doing me any good. although on a more positive note, i do get to really relax and to my defense, i was injured so... yeah. 

maybe it is true what N3 said about me. i had a total burnt out at the office. my previous office. i live love the company, otherwise i would not have stayed for 24 years in total and true too that other companies may not afford to pay me as much. i love building people which i have done in my csm team. everyone of them has made me proud. but somehow throughout the years i have not gotten the satisfaction anymore.

i wouldn't say taking the VSS was a mistake. it was an opportunity to fly. to expand my talent further and be what i can be. only if i do what i have or need to do, of course. food does not come to the plate themselves. we have to look for them, prepare, cook and finally put them on the plate, right?

my mentor would tell me over and over again that i have talents and i agree to that. i know i do but at this point of time i am really really taking it easy and soon enough it is not good for me! goshh.. astaghfirullahalazim. how can i help people by being like a potato couch? whenever i stepped out of my house, i helped many. that is the real satisfaction. 

and i found this article as i was browsing through. and it sank in, my head! people, do read this!

The 5 Things That Make Some People Magnetic

1.   Personality: a MOTIVATED leader

Who do people want to be around?

A happy, motivated leader communicates joy, passion, and excitement.  We do not want to be FAKE.  However, to compliment others, welcome them with a smile, and be positive is an attitude, not a personality.

2.  Power:  A PASSIONATE leader

I can tell when I am around a person of depth.  They have tapped into personal truth.  They are deeply committed to their values while still wanting to learn from others.

You only develop passion with exposing yourself to people of passion.  Read, watch videos, attend meetings, and digest the truths that transform.  People will become fascinated with what you are passionate about. 

3. Purpose:  A VISIONARY leader.

People follow CLARITY.  I am amazed that they seem to follow clarity over character!   Take the time to give deep thought to your goals, ideas, and strategies so that you can easily communicate them to any and every person.  A leader who has clarity will always have followers.

4.  Pattern:  An ORGANIZED leader

Follow the format.  Develop a consistent pattern of life.  In your work, work the plan.  Be predictable, loyal, and faithful to the pattern you have been given.

Work on time and money management skills.  If you can’t organize your day or calendar into a pattern, how will anyone want to follow you?  

5. Potential:  A REPRODUCING leader

Everyone has potential.  They have gifts, talents, and experience.  The question is, “Who is going to take the time to find those gifts and mine those gifts? People love to be around someone who is genuinely interested in their development.  Someone who is coaching them.  Someone who believes in them. When you believe in people and develop them, you reproduce yourself.  You develop your successor so that you can rise up in the organization and take a higher role.

It has been great days in 2020 and i have tonnes to tell and share. lots of incredible and wonderful things happening around me. i might do a backdated posting. just stay tuned! 💋

Inspiration to Change

have you ever asked yourself what/who inspire/motivates you to change? tak kisah lah change dari segi apa pun. samada your behaviour, your financial, your career, your belief and banyak lagi. sometimes we were told of a story, someone's life story, and how some other people punya daya kehendak/keperluan yang sangat kuat untuk berubah ke arah yang lebih baik in life. kadang2 benda2 baru yang kita nak buat tu tak nampak logic tapi sebab kemahuan untuk berubah itu kuat, we will just move forward. and act towards the goal in life. 

i was introduced to a company called NuSkin accidentally sebenarnya. all started with when i see the changes on in my younger sister, N3 in terms of physical and also health. so, i did a background check on the company. yes, that's what i normally do before i want to do something new. actually kalau kat office ada issue dengan customer, i would do the same background check also. and i also have been exposed to the diagram shown below. but sejak berkali2 tu jugak lah aku tak berapa faham until i joined NuSkin. ye, kadang2 penerimaan aku tu agak slow. 😋 so basically what we should be doing is moving from 1 quadrant to the other. or another way of understanding this is to gain passive invome, one should be in the B quadrant. 

my understanding on the above is:

E - Employee which means i am employed like now. yes, i have a job now, and money but when i retire, i don't have the monthly income anymore. 

S - Self Employed which on myself it is my fitness company called AKO Fitness. with AKO Fitness if i don't teach, i don't earn money.

I - Investor, which i have started few years ago and i will just leave it there till it matures.

B - Business Owner, which i recently found in Nu Skin. a networking company with lots of experiences and researches have been done on its products and business plan. AgeLoc Technology, Nu Skin's exclusive solution to the signs and sources of biological aging. ageLOC science can reset the ultimate sources of aging to a more youthful profile in order to reduce the VISIBLE SIGNS of aging.

one of my fav photo as evidence would be shown below. Dr Joe Chang is the Chief Scientist and he did the test on himself to see the result.

Basically at the B quadrant there should be a system that is created/made to work for us and generate passive income.

i have been attending training to enhance my knowledge and alhamdulillah i believe i have found my retirement plan. to be honest i wish i could leave my job now to focus fulltime on this business but was advised not to until i have build my team in this business. i remembered last time when i started to work here (the current company), i build my team in 3 years. so i guess, apedehal kalau kena build in another 3 years and get a strong and highly motivated team members, kan.

our tuition class :D

point is, my inspiration to change is my own future. this is not the era that we can depend on our children. kalau anak2 ingat jasa ibubapa alhamdulillah, but kalau anak2 dah start buat hal sendiri, siapa nak jaga diri sendiri, ye tak? so, i have been doing a lot of thinking on what i love to do. then i decided, i love helping people in changing themselves to be in a healthier state of mind and body. and in order to do so, i need the tools to help them, and with Nu Skin, they have the tools and the system to help me first, to change to be a better person in health and career and then with that, i can help others.

vision board and me

how to make a vision board that works - law of attraction: i want to share something educational to all my readers today and the reason why i am saving this in my blog is so that i can watch it again. i have done my vision board many years ago and whether you want to believe it or not, some of the things that i put in my vision board - i have achieved. #alhamdulillah. 

i don't know why but i have been thinking of creating another vision board for the past few days. and today when i browse through the internet, i find that some people creates their vision board on a yearly basis? uurmmm well, it is good so that you work on certain goals in life but if i were to do that, it will end up like an office KPI which i do not want it to be. i want my dreams to be achievable and having fun going through life without being stressful in achieving what i want in life. 

so the above are a few examples of vision boards that i found online - which, not to my liking coz i feel that some are too cluttered, but i just want you to get some ideas about vision boards. what i have done before, i think... let me try to recall, i divided them into: spiritual, financial, professional, family. so i think i will do the same for the new one. 

by the way guys/gals, "Creating your own vision board is considered the key to success. It is not enough to simply have a positive mental attitude. The secret to achieving your goals is to dream about positive, focused, and specific goals."

so you need to remember, create or visualize something that is achievable and work towards it. dreaming without action or working towards it won't do any help. 

there is another thing to take note on. certain dreams that you have, might involve another party, or another person. question would be, 

should you put that person/party in your vision board? 

i have been thinking of this too. the thought of, 

if you focus or dream about it hard enough, it will come true. 

true at some point. but what if the dream is only 1 sided? wouldn't you feel frustrated later? so, think and decide what is best for you and also not for you to feel demotivated in looking forward to a better and prosperous life. 

all the best! 😉

“Vision without action is a dream. Action without vision is simply passing the time. Action with Vision is making a positive difference.” - Joel Barker

not today satan!

i found this yesterday.. well we are no angels. so memang kadang2 terasa nak buat jahat.. astaghfirullahaliazim.. cepat2 istighfar.. kalau dah terbuat tu cepat2 mintak ampun dengan Allah swt and dgn org yang awak buat aniaya tu. so anyway yeah i had that thought lepas tu terjumpa gambar ni and i stopped my thoughts. in a way powerful jugak la kan. coz kejahatan tu datang dari syaiton kan 😅 so yeah.. 
not today satan!

Everyone's rizq is fixed

Got this from one of my whatsapp group, lets read and understand. J Happy Tuesday.

A brother moved to Makkah many years ago. He was a high flying manager of major departmental stores in U.K., Malaysia and China.

He had been brought in by Bin Dawood stores as a regional manager for the Makkah region. He was from England.

After living and working in Saudi for some time, he later narrated how he found it so strange, unique and uplifting in how business was done in Saudi.

Here were the examples he gave:

1. In Makkah, next to a major Bin Dawood superstore a rival new company were entering the kingdom and decided to open a mega store right next to Bin Dawood, within metres.

The brother was perturbed/disturbed, "Why can't they open just somewhere else."

The owners of Bin Dawood frowned on his outlook. They ordered him to send his workers to the other store being setup and offer them tea and food and any help they needed to setup!

The brother was left astounded/shock. The Bin Dawood management simply replied, "Our rizq is fixed, they cannot take even one Riyal from what has been decreed upon us. So why not gain 'ajr' and help them."

2. The owner of AlFakieh poultry in Saudi, he has a famous mosque in MAKKAH (Masjid Faqih). He is very rich ماشاء الله تبارك الله and religious. He found out that his major rival AlWatania was floundering/struggling with huge debts of a million plus riyals. So he one day sent a cheque to the owner of AlWatania and said, "Pay off your debt, and pay me back, whenever you can." He had the opportunity to become the sole major distributor of chicken but instead he decided to help his main rival.

ماشاء الله تبارك الله

I personally feel we have been affected growing up in the west with the capitalistic and consumer mindset, that is in every part of our lives.

It removes Tawakkul and the muhabbah/love of brotherhood from our hearts.

Just some advice. Don't worry about others, if we do our work with Ihsan and If Allah gives us tawfeeq then we will never have our success limited by others.

BECOME A WELL WISHER.

Travel Log Day 3 & 4

After the not so clear visibility during my 2 dives, i have decided not to go for diving on Monday. i chose to go for ZUMBA instead and you know what? not regretting it, in fact i have also arranged to go for another session on the day that i am leaving pattaya. i met stephanie on fb and zumba.com when i searched for zumba pattaya. and i just tried my luck. i love her class, and she has a beautiful studio. i wish 1 fine day i will be able to have my own studio as well. insyaallah.

for the 2nd session, i arranged with my hotel's reception for someone to fetch me to and fro to the studio on a motorbike. hehehe :D coz it will be faster and i hope i can make it on time to the airport! errmmm let me just share the picture okay. 

taken on the 1st day i was there.

 

 

 

 

 

with the ladies before we start with the ZUMBA class because i had to rush back to the hotel :)

who/what inspires you?

 

wow.. looks like i am really in the mood to blog after many months not blogging like before. before i post this, i wanted to ask my sister, N3 what is the difference between motivates and inspires, but, ermmm malas lah :P you know, i know, should be enough, right? or, you can always Google up the difference or meaning. i would say it means, something/someone who makes/encourages you to be a better person. :) these pictures explained who inspires me. i am very thankful for that.

and you know what? the reason i am posting this is because my trainees inspire me to become a better instructor/coach and i love every one of you! when i see the changes in them, [yes, i do watch and see the difference] it makes me more bersemangat to have more classes, to choreograph and arrange more dance moves. and when i see some of them bersemangat to make changes in their lifestyle, it makes me really happy. i just hope that they will follow through and do not give up. i see some have lose weight. some increased their stamina. some became more fit than before. some can dance/move better than before. you see, when you do things on a regular basis, somehow after awhile (normally people would say 90 days) you will get hooked to it. just make sure its good/positive stuff ok! :D but when we talk about zumba, it doesn't need 90 days okay! you just need 1 class with the right instructor (whom you'd enjoy dancing with) to make you stay. and i can tell you there are many many many styles of instructors out there to venture into! 

for this post i am dedicating it to one of my trainee - i have this plan in mind. i am going to do this project and surprise you :) i really hope that one fine day you will be one of us - zumba instructor. when the project is done, i will post it here in my blog :)

so, before the project is done, why don't you share with your readers, who/what inspires you and tag me so that i will get to read/learn? :) 3 selected bloggers who do this will get a VIP ticket to our ZUMBA PARTY on 12th Oct 2014.

my training plans in ramadhan

okay... let's see if this works... hahaha (belum apa2 gelak dulu). yes yes.. people have been saying that i put on weight... blardy people... akakakaka :D but, it's ok.. yes i gained weight.. i became bloated due to water retention so the doctor said. i have not been drinking enough water, that i know... so.. everything expanded. so, here goes... my plan during ramadhan. 

every year we will break our fast at my parents' house and continue with terawikh. lately i have been too busy and packed with zumba classes. i just can't wait for ramadhan as i needed a break... to slow down a lil bit. joelis' tuition classes will be delayed than their normal time.. ermm they have tuition 3 times a week, so that 3 times a week, while waiting for them to finish their class i will go to the gym for my weights training - my target is to get back my actual ideal weight with a toned body before i start back on my daily zumba classes! yeahhh that seems to be a good plan. 

3 times a week of weights training + 1 time zumba... looks like a good plan.. huh? 

Kami Tahu Tapi Kami Tak Buat

Reminder for me. I read this from a colleague's wall whom i just added in my fb friends list. I hope and pray to be a better person, insyaAllah.

Berkata Imam Ibnul Qayyim rhm, "Seorang remaja perempuan telah meninggal dunia disebabkan taun. Maka pada suatu hari bapanya telah bermimpi berjumpa dengannya lalu bapanya bertanya, wahai anakku, khabarkanlah kepadaku keadaan hari akhirat.

Aku telah pergi ke satu dunia, hal yg berlaku di dalamnya adalah sangat hebat penyesalannya. Sesungguhnya kita semua tahu akan tetapi kita mahu lakukan. Demi Allah ! Sesungguhnya pahala sekali tasbih atau pahala satu rakaat solat, jika ianya tertulis di atas sehelai lembaran kitab amalanku, lebih aku sukai daripada dunia dan seisinya."

🌼 Sesungguhnya remaja perempuan itu telah berkata mengenai satu perkara yg sangat berat untuk dihadapi (kita semua pasti akan menghadapinya) KITA SEMUA TAHU TETAPI KITA TIDAK BUAT. Ramai di kalangan kita yang tidak faham maksudnya (kerana kita belum memasukinya)

🌼 Sesungguhnya kita tahu bahawa apabila kita mengucapkan "subhanallahi wa bihamdihi" sebanyak 100 kali, dosa kita akan diampun oleh Allah SWT walaupun sebanyak buih di lautan. Masa seharian kita berlalu tetapi kita tidak pun mengucapnya.

🌼 Sesungguhnya kita tahu bahawa dua rakaat dhuha itu akan mencukupkan kewajipan 360 sedekah (yg diwajibkan ke atas anggota badan). Masa seharian kita berlalu tetapi kita tidak melakukannya

🌼 Sesungguhnya kita tahu bahawa puasa sunat satu hari di jalan Allah, akan menyebabkan Allah SWT menjauhkan muka kita dari api neraka sejauh 7 parit dan 70 kharif

🌼 Sesungguhnya kita tahu bahawa menziarahi orang sakit akan menyebabkan dia diikuti oleh 70,000 malaikat yg akan memohon ampun kpd Allah SWT baginya. Akan tetapi seminggu berlalu, kita tidak menziarahi pun orang sakit

🌼 Sesungguhnya kita tahu, barangsiapa yg menyembahyangkan jenazah kemudian menghantarnya ke kubur, menunggunya hingga jenazah selesai ditanam akan mendapat dua qirat pahala dari Tuhan. Akan tetapi hari hari berlalu tiada suatu jenazah pun yg kita iringi (satu qirat adalah sebesar bukit uhud)

🌼 Sesungguhnya kita tahu bahawa saham membina masjid walau sebesar sarang burung akan membuatkan Allah SWT membinakan untuknya rumah di syurga. Akan tetapi kita mengambil ringan dalam menyumbangkan saham membina masjid

🌼 Sesungguhnya kita tahu bahawa menolong ibu tunggal dan golongan miskin (pahalanya) seperti orang berjihad di jalan Allah atau seperti puasa yg tidak berbuka atau seperti yg berqiam dan tidak tidur. Akan tetapi tiada orang susah pun yg menjadi tanggungan bulanan kita.

🌼 Sesungguhnya kita tahu bahawa membaca alquran itu, satu huruf akan diganjari 10 kebaikan, kita tidak juga membaca alquran.

🌼 Sesungguhnya kita tahu bahawa kemuliaan seorang mukmin itu adalah berdirinya dia bertahajjud di hadapan tuhannya dlm keadaan manusia tidur. Adalah Nabi SAW dan para sahabat RA tidak meninggalkan qiamullail sepanjang umur mereka walaupun sibuk berjuang menyebarkan agama. Kita pula memandang ringan akan qiamullaill.

🌼 Sesungguhnya kita mengetahui bahawa mati itu bila bila masa akan tetapi kita sering menangguhkan taubat dan tidak bersungguh membuat pahala

🌼 Ketahuilah wahai saudara-saudaraku, setiap nafas yg kita hembuskan, semakin mendekatkan kita kepada ajal kita. Kematian bermakna membawa pahala berjumpa Allah SWT.

🌼 Adakah pahala kita sudah cukup untuk memberatkan timbangan kita?

🌼 Adakah pahala kita sudah cukup untuk menghadapi n yang boleh memufliskan?

Berbahagialah kepada yg membacanya, faham akannya dan bersegera mengamalkannya. Semoga Allah SWT membalas dgn sebaik balasan kpd yg menyebarkannya........
