These last few days of August really take the cake for excitement . LoL .
June saw MANY of us sluggin' it out and sloggin' for our " fast track " awards and 4 from our Famille hittin' it . Their Travel packs comin' down yesterday Friday28th Aug'09 in their pigeons' holes . For the UNfortunate few who've missed it , GOOD NEWS !!!! =
chances are .... you'll NEVER hit it anymo' .
"Why Why WHYYYYYYYY ?!?!?! " you may ask ? it's 'cause Fast Track is a chance to introduce NEW advisors to the wonderful world of Incentive Trips or letting veteran advisors who've NEVER Qualified for any trips in their careers to experience the Magic . Hence as long as you haven't gotten FastTrack or just missed it ......... by 3 days !!!
Like our Dear Brother Alan !!! ( Shakes head and smiles to self in demonstration of Disbelief )... Then as soon as you hit Quality Club Elite / A & H challenges ... no mo' Fast Track .
August saw many comin close to the 19,000 A&H challenge and hittin it and comin short and RE-hittin it and Comin short again and finally hittin it again for some ... Why Ley ? Can't be helped , check out John's and wing's Blogs for explanation . NOT Our Fault hor .. and just in case those who're readin this say submit Earlier Mah ..... Here's news for you ..... We DID !!! Some as early as July .
Know what's the Wonderful Thing about Life Tho' ? It's the Journey that counts .... Not our Final Destinations . So Smell the flowers and admire the scenery along the way .
Know what're the Differences and Similarities that our individual Career Paths have when compared to Life tho' ?
When we're Gettin there we usually don't have too much time to look around and admire the sights and views .
When we've gotten there is when we spend time to take in all the sights , smells and sounds ...
" what a treat ! " ~ our senses scream .
Get there if you can but don't forget to smell the roses along the way . =)

Welcome Back 10Chin !
First Off , a warm welcome back to our Brother Alan !!!
Time really does fly , doesn't it ? In the Blink of an eye it's August the 18th Already and you're back with the Famille that holds you dear and you hold dearly as well .
We could Really use some help , not just from you as i so callously stated in your Blog but from each and Everyone !
June saw many of us fighting towards Fasttrack and all hitting it .
As it stands , John , Danny , Wing and Lauren have cleared fasttrack and Brother Alan has just missed the dateline by 3 days ... 3 DAYS !!! MAN can you believe that ?? LOL . no worries Bro , as far as i'm concerned , you've cleared , so we'll see you in Bangkok all the same !
July saw us standing our ground , BANDing together , Arms Locked and Facing the same direction and refusing to bend to external factors or forces that would seek to dampen our spirits , increase our workloads or bully and threaten us into submission ... INDOMITABLE's what we are .
August once again sees many of us come to life !! and striving towards the A and H challenge .. Seoul here we come !!!
Danny , wing , john , Alan and Kristy are more or less tied at around the 12,000 to 13,000 mark .
Uncle Sam is as yet closest to said finishing line of 19,000 at around 15,000 plus and
Lauren leads the rest in the below 10,000 group .
Do NOT give up nor Despair , ALL of you !!!
That does NOT , in any sense , hint that the fight is done or our fates are sealed , etched in stone .
Keep in mind tho' , that the cut off for Shield plans is on the 20th of this month so fight on Family members !
Here's wishing all who're fighting all the Best and to have the clarity of mind to know that nothing great ever came easy .
To have the Wisdom to understand that what you put focus and attention on WILL grow .
To have the Discipline to , when you're so sorely tempted to give up and try again , NOT to do so but persist till the end of the month .
NOW .. For some of you , you already have 1 of the 4 trips PROMISED to you in the Bag.
Regardless of who That someone was , whoever that is who introduced you to this career months back . Some of you will soon get the second trip in your shopping bag as well , it seems .
Make no mistake tho' , even if you're interested in NONE of these trips , the trips actually serve a FAR Nobler purpose ........ To help you keep track of your journey in this career . Be it in Growth and Development in Character OR Finances . [ kachink kachink $$ !!! ]
In Retrospect ... Have YOU kept YOUR promises so far ? to your introducer , your Friend , your colleagues , your Famille , your Clients ...... your SELF even ?
Go forth and Prosper , ALL of us . =]

Leading By Example ..
Leading By Example , Myth .... Or Fact ?
That was the focus of a pretty heated Debate i had with a fellow manager/Facilitator in Prudential This week .
Her : ...How can i ask someone to do a starclub when i've NEVER done one myself ??
Me : If that was true then you've doomed yourself and whoever joins you to NEVER achieve anything more than a QC in their careers . i'd strongly advise anyone keen to join your "family" to drop the notion !how will they feed themselves ??
Her : But you look at my Boss , She motivates me . She Inspires me . I should be a better leader .. i'll NEVER be like her ! *sighs*
Me : Why you wanna live in her shadow ? *Guffaws* Why [should ] be a better leader ? i don't wanna be a second rate / imitation Zinc , Tony Low Or Raymond Tan ! Even though they're the ones i always run to for advise or to save my impulsive ass and i respect and admire them !!!i constantly strive to REMAIN a 1st rate Kenneth Chiew and you know what ?? i Always succeed at it and i'm most Definitely happy all the time !!! O_O
Her : How do you and zinc get your agency and the peeps UNDER you two to come on time , and stay as motivated and driven as i've observed them over these past 8 months ? Teach me .. pRease ..
Me : Baby i can't man , you're crazay .. First off .. we're worlds apart , you and i , not to say i'm superior to you in ANY WAY but that we play according to our own , innate , personal Rhythm , our own innate tune ..and the sooner you come to terms with that , the better you'll perform .. and the happier you'll be . They're not our agency ... They're Family ... and they're not UNDER the two of us ... we're with THEM . we ARE them .

A Dear friend lent me a book recently , "Teach your team to fish "by Laurie Beth Jones .. i read an excerpt from the book and i've found it to be quite apt for what we wish to launch on Friday's meeting . , "I have told you all this so that you will not fall away"(john16:1)
~ Jesus prepared his disciples for adversity .
My Family members , we're not so different , you and i ...
Lead with passion my lovely , Beautiful siblings ...
Be it life , career , peers , juniors , seniors , family .. But Lead , so that others may Lead .. or follow your LEAD .
