Number One Result that Have the Biggest Impact in Your Life

"What is the number one result that you believe would bring you the biggest result in this year?"

This is the question that I have, since 3 January 2017, asked my clients, this year. Not once but 7 times.

People give me different answers, "I want to build my business to a new level this year", "I want to super-charge my career" and "I want to fire my boss" are the three most common answers so far.

As the responses emerge, they reveal something important. Your answer to this question shows what you currently believe would give you your biggest return on investment (ROI) for the time, energy and money that you put in.

I would next ask a powerful question, "Knowing what you know now, are you willing to break out of your comfort zone and do what is necessary to achieve the result you want this year?"

This is where they will give me silence.

Let's face it: most people are just living in dreams. They say they want something, but often it is not a want but just a wish, like new year wishes. A want is more than a wish: a want is your desire. Like now I want a new iPhone 7 this is not a wish.

Until you make your wish your want, you are just living 2017 the same as 2016; going nowhere. It's time to go somewhere, and to do that you need to get out of your comfort zone and do what is necessary.

I will next ask 4 questions:

What are the key factors that influence your ability to create the results you desire, and how can you develop those factors?
What are the obstacles that have been holding you from getting the results you want, and how can you eliminate those obstacles?
How can you leverage on people, knowing that people are your greatest resource, to get what you want?
Are you able to do this with your current personality? As a coach, I know of coachees that possess personality that will never get them ahead, like being soft and indecisive

If you can answer the above questions, you have it!

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...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
