More Pay for Less Work is Not a Dream Anymore

As an employee, it is your wish to earn more but work less this year. Otherwise, how are you going to improve your quality of life and work life balance? Unknown to many people, it is possible to work less (really work less hours) but earn more (from promotion, bonus and incentives). The following are the 5 most common ways that we teach to our clients:

Higher Skills - either move up to management level or become even more specialized and be an expert in your work. Higher skills also mean skills that are of higher demand, like leadership, sales and communication skills. Studies in Australia show that if you attend at least 2 courses in a month (totalling 8 hours), your chance of getting a promotion in this year increases by 43%. One of the fastest and free ways to acquire skills is to sign up for corporate training. Your company will be happy to pay for them because they can get $15,000 cash under the PIC Bonus scheme.
Be More Skilful, which means to be very mindful of what you do and watch out for details. This is because most employees are not good at details and bosses know that details can make a big difference in business.
Lead People. When you lead people instead of following people or just staying put, you can get more things done without doing them yourselves. Unknown to many people, you do not have leadership skills after you get promoted. You need to have leadership skills now to get promoted.
Make Money for Your Employer. This means 7 things: higher sales, lower labor costs, lower overheads, lower risk, better cash flow, higher margin sales and lastly higher profits.
Spend More Money for Yourself. Yes, this sounds stupid but we know that necessity is the best teacher. When you have high commitments every month, you have no choice but to think earn more. Initially you have to work harder and longer hours to earn more, but after you get promoted you can work less and still earn more.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
