I first heard about Byrd Bagget from my Success University membership. 

Through a quick online search, I realized that Byrd Bagget is the author of 13 best-selling books on the topic of sales, leadership, customer service and motivation. His books have sold in excess of one million copies! He had also trained many leaders in many Fortune 500 companies.

When I heard his audio CD that was shipped as part of my Success University membership, I was amazed at the number of nuggets that he shared. One of them he repeated several times was this quote:

“Simple acts of daily discipline compounded over time can change your life!”

Byrd Bagget gave a couple of interesting examples like how he walked everyday and lost more than 80 kg!  I can relate to that totally as I recalled the days when I trained for my first marathon…

Being a non-runner, I drew out a 6-month plan. This comprise of running on at least 4 to 5 days a week culminating in a long 20-km run on every Saturday morning. It was not even a daily affair but by simply following a disciplined approach to training, I completed my first marathon in less than 5 hours at the age of 35.

Another example that came to mind that one of my early mentors shared with me is: If you smoke a cigarette for just one day, would it affect your health? Of course not. But what if you simply smoked a cigarette a day for a year? This example is of course somewhat a negative application of the above quote by Byrd Baggett.

Last but not least, Byrd shared the amazing example of the Chinese bamboo tree. When you water that tree, nothing seems to happen for five years. But on the 6th year, it starts to grow almost two-and-a-half feet per day! In just 6 weeks, it grows to 90 feet!!!

If you need personal finance advice, I highly recommend you read and of David Bach’s books like Start Late, Finish Rich: A No-Fail Plan for Achieving Financial Freedom at Any Age (Finish Rich Book Series) that I almost finished reading last week.

Among some amazing advice, David Bach gave some stunning revelation to the uninitiated about personal finance such as putting aside just a small amount of money every day like $10 or $15 - which he affectionately called the Latte Factor. If you faithfully put away and invest $10 per day for 20 years, it will compound to over $200,000!!

In fact, that’s what I heard from an audio by Byrd Baggett, a personal development guru, as I was driving along the Malaysian Federal Highway on the way to Klang and I can’t wait to get that book the very next day from Borders, Times Square in KL.

Armed with such a revelation, anyone in their 40’s or 50’s can safely retire with hundreds of thousands of dollars when they reach their 60’s or 70’s. (I hear some skeptics say that it’s not enough! Well, then - apply David Bach’s Double Latte Factor - see his book for more details - and invest up to $30 a day to bring your retirement nest egg up to beyond a million dollars if you wish!)

Apart from the above nuggets, David Bach also gave wonderful advice and tips of how to recover from credit card debt. To me, that advice alone is worth much more than the price of the book.

When I watched the DVD that comes with Success University’s Success Express Edition #7 featuring Johnny Wimbrey, I was literally blown away…

Recorded during Success University’s 2nd anniversary, Johnny Wimbrey - the Training Director and top-earner Ambassador - shared some amazing truths in “7 Critical Character Distinctions Between A Producer And A Procrastinator”.

I was totally absorbed for the entire duration of the video that lasted a couple of hours and here are a sampling of the points he shared:

1. A PRODUCER is a winner while a PROCRASTINATOR is a whiner.

   The winner has a winning mindset and sees possibilities, and he has mentors. A winner establishes accountability in order to succeed. For instance, you simply tell someone what you want to achieve and that itself holds the winner accountable.

   On the other hand, the whiner focuses on external or personal limitations and has no accountability at all.

2. A PRODUCER is responsive while a PROCRASTINATOR is reactive.

   When someone said something you don’t like, what do you do?

   A producer responds by thinking before he acts while a procrastinator reacts emotionally by taking actions without thought.

3. A PRODUCER is optimistic while a PROCRASTINATOR is pessimistic.

   A producer entertains success and stands strong under pressure while the procrastinator entertains failure and cracks at the side of pressure.

4. A PRODUCER takes risk while the PROCRASTINATOR makes a wish

   It reminds me of the New Year resolution - which is coming soon for 2008 anyway or those birthday wishes we make - where a procrastinator simply hopes for the best.

   The producer, on the other hand, invests in what he says is his passion. For instance, Johnny made a 5-figure investment to learn public speaking.

5. A PRODUCER has vision while a PROCRASTINATOR has only illusion

   The producer has insights while the procrastinator acts on eyesight. Thus, the former makes a plan as he sees past what’s obvious while the latter wait for moments based on sight.

6. A PRODUCER believes in preparation while the PROCRASTINATOR lives by improvisation

   A producer makes efforts, then inspects what he expects while the procrastinator expects without effort.

7. A PRODUCER executes while the PROCRASTINATOR makes excuses

   The producer implements, participates and has a sense of urgency in taking their projects from start to finish while the procrastinator keeps postponing because of a dead end mind and thus finishes before he starts.

I can’t help but to add one more post on T. Harv Eker’s Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar …

Although the seminar was about money and how to get rich, something T. Harv Eker did won my total respect!

• It’s not his millionaire mindset
• It’s not his guerilla business tactics
• It’s not his training systems
• It’s not the way he runs his well-organized seminar
• It’s not his money advice and techniques
• It’s not his many experiential games we played that helped us realize who we are, our strengths and weaknesses and what caused us our money problems
• It’s not even his impressive 60+ back end programs!

It’s the way he impacted the audience with his call to contribution as a human being!

He urged us to get rich as long as we have the wherewithal, so as to help people who are by themselves totally helpless, those who are in the state of poverty…

… and he reminded the 5,000 audience that there are MILLIONS AND MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF SUCH PEOPLE AROUND!!!

He taught us not to get rich entirely for the sake of ourselves, nor entirely for the sake of other people but to seek a balanced way of using our wealth.

That, to me, is what impressed and impacted me most!

Think about it for a moment …

… there are 5,000 people there who heard this. Just 10 per cent heed his advice seriously, and there’ll be 500 rich people soon who cares enough to help the poor and needy and touch their lives. Wouldn’t that make a difference to the world? I think it does, in a BIG way!!

T. Harv Eker, a multi-millionaire business educator, conducted his first ever world famous Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar in Asia (held in Singapore) from 23rd to 25th November 2007.

Attended by around 5,000 people at Singapore Expo, many people rated it as one of the best seminars they ever attended because of its experiential nature and highly effective action-based style it was carried out!

It’s really pretty amazing how T. Harv Eker and his co-trainer Rob managed to organize the people to even form groups in an exercise to identify our ‘money type’. I am really thankful that Success Resources, the event organizer, brought T. Harv Eker and Peak Potentials, one of the world’s fastest growing personal development companies to Asia.

Throughout the 3-day seminar, the participants followed the instructions with workbooks with exercises as well as participate in lots of kinesthetic exercises in an effort to reset our money blueprint, which Harv said is responsible for our financial successes.

Real life examples were quoted such as the following:
