Do you ever wonder what it is that allows some people to become so very successful, while most of us struggle just to get by?
It’s easy to think that they have something special, something the rest of us have no access to. This is half right. They do have something special. But it’s not something that’s out of our reach. Anybody can get access to that secret ingredient that makes those people successful.
And many people have already done just that. They have tapped into and are using the same “Patterns of Excellence” that have helped those special few to achieve their success.
And you can join them. Here’s how.
Adam Khoo, millionaire and best-selling author, has created a seminar where he teaches others those very Patterns of Excellence. The seminar costs $1,600, and that may be out of reach for a lot of people. But now, he has decided to make the information available to a wider audience at a small fraction of the price of the seminar; as a home study program version.
That home study program contains the following:
10 CD-length audio files
10 transcripts of the audios
a 153 page workbook/manual
and a bonus book: Minds of Winners
All of it is downloadable either as mp3 files or as pdf files.
Since you may be wondering how anything could possibly have that kind of transformative power, Adam starts his course by sharing his own story: Contrary to what you might think, he wasn’t always a millionaire. He was actually kicked out of school and had extreme difficulty to find any school that would even take him in. But then he encountered the exact mind set technology you’ll learn in Patterns of Excellence, and he turned his life around dramatically. He became a valedictorian, and then, within just a few years, a Millionaire when he was 26 years old. He also became a best-selling author and one of the top peak performance coaches and speakers in Asia.
And in his home study course, you will gain access to the same strategies Adam used to achieve his own success. You’ll discover how to copy and model the strategies of success that you see in the successful people you admire, and, as you start applying them in your own life, get the same results.
If you have setbacks, and you will, you’ll learn how those super achievers deal with setbacks, and how you can do the same.
The key technology you will learn in Patterns of Excellence is something called Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). And the 10 CDs of your home study program provide you with some of the clearest and most immediately usable explanations and directions of how to apply NLP in your own life that I have ever come across.
CD1 - The Ultimate Success Formula
The first CD gives you a detailed preview of the whole course and also introduces you to Adam’s Ultimate Success Formula and how it holds the key to achieving any result you want in life. This is the secret that separates those who achieve what they set out to do and those who don’t. It explains how anybody, if they put their mind to it, can become a success. It’s also what helped Adam achieve his own success.
Even the most successful people experience setbacks, but somehow, they bounce back quickly. We have all heard of stories of millionaires and even billionaires who bounce back from near-bankruptcy to being millionaires and billionaires once again at record speed. Donald Trump comes to mind, as does Bill Bartmann. How do they do that?
Adam walks you through that so that you too can overcome setbacks and failure and use them to achieve your goals even faster.
CD2 - The Power Of States & Physiology
The second CD teaches you how to use your body to program your mind for success. It helps you to stay in that high-achiever mindset at all times by helping you to gain control of your emotions. Of course, some of the finer points will become a lot clearer as you move through the program.
CD 3 will delve more deeply into the technicalities of NLP. It will introduce you to something called “submodalities,” a key to how to achieve desired emotional states and break through setbacks and undesirable patterns.
CD 4 deals with your beliefs and how they determine whether you’re successful or not. It will show you how those beliefs are created and how you have complete control over them – so you can change them so they will serve you instead of sabotaging you.
CD 5 helps you to design your life and introduces you to another extremely powerful concept in NLP: Reframing. Between those two, you can gain control over just about anything that has been holding you back to date.
Of course, there’s much more in the remaining five CDs. You’ll learn about the power of values and how to make adjustments to your values so that serve you and help you achieve your goals. You’ll learn about how to build rapport with literally anyone and how to communicate effectively, both crucial ingredients to success.
The next two CDs are my favorites: they introduce you to extremely powerful language patterns that will help you to have such powerful influence on others it will absolutely amaze you. There’s the so-called Milton Model, named after Milton Erickson who developed it. And then there’s what’s called the Meta Model.
Both of them are powerful tools to change people’s beliefs. And as a fringe benefit, you’ll be able to claim back your own power as you see through the persuasive techniques of politicians and advertisers who are using some of those techniques on you.
The last CD pulls everything together into usable strategies you can use every day. It also helps you pinpoint dysfunctional strategies you might be using right now that are holding you back, and replace them with ones that help you achieve your goal.
What’s included in the package?
The 10 audio files. Complete transcripts for all 10 audios. And an excellent 153 page workbook that will accompany you as you work your way through the CDs. It has illustrations that will make some concepts easier to understand, summaries, key points, check lists, work sheets, and plenty of room for notes as you do the many exercises that Adam will guide you through as you listen to the audios.
Exercises? You bet. They are what really makes this work. It’s a transformational program, and, if you will forgive my using a phrase that has almost become a cliché by now: It works if you work it. But if you don’t work it, all bets are off. You might feel momentarily inspired, but unless you actually follow through on the inspiration with real action, not much will change.
So go ahead and do the exercises. Work your way through the workbook. You will be very glad you did.
Imagine you had paid the full price for the workshop. Would you skip a day? Heck, no! So don’t skip “a day” here either. Just do it all.
Of course, once you have filled everything in, the workbook will also serve as an ideal refresher course whenever you need to review some of the concepts. And the more care you took when you filled it in at first, the more valuable it will be to you in the long run.
Like Adam’s other programs, Patterns of Excellence provides you with powerful and actionable information. All of it is presented in easy-to-follow step-by-step fashion. And the sum total of it is bound to change your life – if you do the work. It’s literally a blueprint for achieving the success you desire. If you just want pretty book to add to your hard drive, skip this one. If you’re ready to do the work and take your life to the next level, though, this is a must-have.

Paving The Way To The Top
Discover The 6 Simple Steps That Propelled Me To Make My First MILLION in less than 5 years and How You Can Too:
http://www.adamkhoo.net/go.php?offer=edwinlcy82&pid=4
http://www.adamkhoo.net/go.php?offer=edwinlcy82&pid=4
Adam Khoo had a goal. He wanted to be a millionaire. And he achieved it by the time he was 26 years old. Not only that – he was a best-selling author to boot.
How would you like to follow in his footsteps? You can!
In Paving the Way to Success, Adam will tell you exactly how he did it. In 6 CD-length audios, Adam gets grilled by his business partner Stuart Tan, and he really spills the beans.
Stuart is an excellent interviewer, and with his friendly and personal style, he gets Adam to open up and tell the whole story, in detail, with plenty of step-by-step advice that you won’t find anywhere else.
Still intimidated? Don’t be.
Adam was no wunderkind. In fact, at one point, he was a pitiful student and failed to be accepted at all but the very lowest-level schools, where he promptly sunk to the very bottom of the class. He was a loser by any definition.
But he didn’t stay a loser for very long. His life changed when he discovered Neuro-Linguistic Programming, also known as NLP, which he studied voraciously and diligently applied to every aspect of his life. And with that, the loser turned into an over-achiever.
He became a top student within a very short time, started several successful businesses, including one where he taught thousands of students how to be successful in school (notice the irony here?), became a sought-after speaker, and wrote his first of many best-selling books by the time other young people haven’t even finished college.
And in this audio program, he shares with you exactly how he did it, and gives you the steps that can help you do the same thing.
Here are the six sections of the course:
1. Success Psychology: Selling and Influence
2. Becoming a Best-Selling Author
3. Building and Running a Business
4. Driving Yourself to Success
5. Becoming a Millionaire Pt. 1
6. Becoming a Millionaire Pt. 2
Sound intriguing? It’s great stuff!
In the first part, Adam talks about how he got started, and it quickly becomes clear just how much the mind affects our ability to achieve our dreams. Adam found that most people hold themselves back, and discount their own talents. They also feel that things that come easy couldn’t possibly be worth much, and, well, the things that are hard for them are generally not the ones they get good enough at to really achieve success. I bet this sounds familiar. Well, Adam made it his mission to turn that attitude around.
In the Success Psychology section, he covers all that and more, including how to sell, the difference between selling to different customers and how to convert them. He also covers another key issue that often holds us back: How to deal with rejection. How many times have you given up after having been rejected. Adam helps you get over it.
I find that the most inspirational aspect of all of Adam’s courses is that he has done it himself. And Paving the Way to Success is no exception. The step that got me especially excited was step two: Becoming a bestselling author.
Adam wrote and published his very first book, “I Am Gifted, So Are You,” when he was only 24 years old. Not only that, but it also became a national bestseller. And before you start feeling intimidated, he immediately puts you at ease as he breaks down the seemingly overwhelming process of writing a book into the basic components: One article or chapter at a time.
And lest you may still feel daunted by the time and effort involved in writing a book, he goes on to really motivate anyone who might still want to hang back: he talks about the unbelievable benefits of publishing books:
There are the financial benefits, of course, and those are really impressive, especially since they have the potential of turning into long-term automated streams of passive income. As he and Stuart walk through a number of examples, the potential becomes really mind-boggling.
Another key benefit is the kind of credibility you can get almost automatically when you’ve published a book. It becomes clear very quickly that any work invested in writing a book is very much worth it. And you don’t have to be a big expert to do it either. Adam is wonderfully encouraging, saying that everyone really has at least one book inside them, and he also provides a step-by-step blueprint.
But a book is only worth so much unless you have a business to go with it, and so Adam and Stuart proceed to cover how to build and run a successful business. Adam himself owns three businesses that together pull in more than twenty million dollars. There’s no job in the world that pays you anywhere near the kind of money you can make from owning a successful business. So if you have any kind of financial ambitions, owning your own business is a must.
However, owning a business does not mean doing it all by yourself. Adam gives some great advice on how to find the right partners to help you run it. He even has great advice on which industries are the best ones to pick for your new business.
By now, you’re probably very excited about the potential, but you may still wonder how to get yourself to actually do what it takes. Well, Adam shares his own strategies here as well. He shows you how to stay focused and motivated, how to do what it takes, and especially how to overcome the big bugaboo, procrastination.
Finally, in the two part grand finale, Adam provides step-by-step instructions on how to become a millionaire. He quickly dispels the myth that it takes an insane amount of work. To the contrary. His principle is much more on the side of working smarter and not harder. Unfortunately, a lot of people have no idea how to play that game, but if they
listen to this tape, they’ll find out quickly, at least most of the key principles.
You’ll even learn about the stock market. One of the many millionaire secrets that Adam shares is this one: All really rich people have multiple streams of income. And so he provides you with an in-depth survey on how to set up those additional income streams, especially those you can build online. And last but not least, he shares how to hang on to the money you’ll earn.
In terms of what specifically you’ll get: six CD-length downloadable mp3 files as well as the transcriptions of the conversations, a special summary report on how to focus your energy, plus a motivational bonus book called “If I Can, Anybody Can” that will keep you going when you encounter a rough spot.
All in all, this program is a great combination of solid information and secrets shared in a comfortable fire-side chat. The friendly format makes it fun to listen to and gives you a glimpse of a more personal side of millionaire Adam Khoo than you may get in some of his other programs and books.
And that may well the most motivating thing of all since it reminds us that if he can do it, we may be able to pull it off as well, and even if we don’t make it all the way to the millionaire level, we’re bound to make significant progress, especially with all the info in this course.

Secrets Of Self-Made Millionaires Ebook
How A Juvenile Misfit Who Got Kicked Out Of School Became A Millionaire And Now Earns $549,078.40 A Year:
http://www.adamkhoo.net/go.php?offer=edwinlcy82&pid=12
http://www.adamkhoo.net/go.php?offer=edwinlcy82&pid=12
Do you ever wonder what it would take to become a self-made millionaire? Do you wish you had the resources they had? Do you believe that sadly you don’t have a chance?
Cheer up. You do have a chance. There’s an easy way to get access to the very secrets that helped self-made millionaires become who they are. And they’re not just the fluffy generalities you find in many books. They’re the real deal.
Adam Khoo’s Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires, doesn’t just provide a list of the kind of information that enabled the self-made millionaires to make their millions. You don’t find just pep talks although there are plenty of those. In fact, as you go through the book, you’ll discover, there’s real effort involved, and those pep talks can come in handy. You’ll have to work on your mindset as well as on your business. But it can be done. It has been done many times before, and Adam’s book gives you the tools to do it too.
The only problem: No more excuses.
So how will it work? In Adam’s typical style, he shares his personal history and plenty of motivational stories to get you excited and show you that you do have what it takes. If the people in his stories could do it, surely, you can too.
Adam gets you started with a little soul searching: Under the heading, “Reasons why I’m not rich yet,” you’re invited to list the reasons why you, yes you, are not yet rich. Then he proceeds to teach you how to overcome each and every one of those reasons.
He continues with an overview over the 9 habits of self-made Millionaires: from always exceeding expectations to being proactive, taking total responsibility, doing what you love, and more. The last one: Millionaires respect and love money.
Now here’s the rub for a lot of people. So before moving on, Adam deals with those money beliefs. So many of us have been brought up with very counterproductive beliefs about money. We were told that it’s evil. Or that we don’t deserve it and that we can never get it anyway. And if we do, it will only bring problems. And sooner or later, someone will take it away. So wouldn’t it be better not even to get started?
With beliefs like that, is it any wonder if money stays at a safe distance? Adam proceeds with helping you install new beliefs, beliefs that are much more likely to help you draw money into your life. In fact, lots of money.
As he moves from chapter to chapter, he unpacks each of the nine habits he introduced and helps you make them your own. Not only does he provide numerous examples but also plenty of work sheets for you to fill out. This is a book that’s not just to be read, but also to be worked. If you don’t, it obviously won’t bring the results you’re hoping for. If you do, chances are very good that the sky will the limit for how far you can go.
Adam himself is a case in point, and he uses his story as a motivational example throughout the book. From his start as an academically weak student at the very bottom of the class, he turned himself into a top student. He also set himself the goal to become a millionaire by age 26 – and achieved it.
Inspiring as he is, he doesn’t rely just on his own story to make his case but provides us with many more inspirational examples throughout the book, including Warren Buffet.
In the chapter about the first of the habits of self-made millionaires, Adam gives us insights into cash flow strategies of the rich. And most of us are in for a surprise. There’s the myth out there of the extravagant millionaire who drives fancy cars and basically throws money away. Adam shows that nothing could be further from the truth.
While millionaires will pay for value, they can be outright stingy when they don’t feel the expense is necessary – or worth it. They also keep close tabs on what they spend, and every dollar that goes out the door has to basically earn its keep.
But the most fascinating – and toughest part – comes with the worksheets that are included. You, the reader, are challenged to take an assessment as to where exactly you stand with your own net worth.
There is room for income and outflow, and when Adam talks about spending less than you earn and invest the rest in a way that will make it grow with compounded interest, until it turns into a tool of positive cash flow, you may think of putting the book down. You’ve read that one before. Probably because it’s true.
Don’t give up yet. While Adam stresses the importance of the basics, as so many books do with good reason, he (unlike many of the other books) doesn’t stop there. In fact, it’s only the first of nine principles.
In fact, the very next chapter is a real eye-opener. The four levels of wealth. When most people think of “rich,” they actually have very murky ideas as to what that means. However, in order to actually become rich (and we’re not talking lottery here), it is necessary to have a very clear idea of what “rich” really means.
And Adam’s four levels of wealth is priceless here. He differentiates between four levels, as the chapter says: financial stability, financial security, financial freedom, and financial abundance. When I read through that chapter, it was the first time I began to get a picture of what I really wanted. And I also began to understand why it had been so elusive.
The coolest thing about the chapter: together with the lists that were created in the previous chapter, Adam guides you to create a financial plan to achieve your desired level of financial abundance, complete with work sheets. It seems so much more doable once it has been taken out of the realm of vague wishes to concrete plan and what it will take to achieve it. Now if that’s not motivational, I don’t know what is.
And he doesn’t just leave you with this dream, only to refer you to his high-priced coaching program like so many other gurus. No, he delivers the exact how-to right here in this book.
In fact, the very next chapter gets you going on that very path: How to massively increase your income. Again, with detailed worksheets and examples, he helps you make plans and actually implement them. From changing your mindset from thinking about your value rather than time put in, to very specific ways in which you can increase your value to your employer, almost no matter what you do. And he makes it sound so easy.
Next, he provides numerous ways to maximize and increase income in just about any career. And that’s even before he gets to creating multiple income streams online.
That chapter, on how to create those multiple streams of income online, is worth many times over the price of this book alone. To say it was excellent and comprehensive would be an understatement. I really wish I had read this book about a couple of years ago, or even five or ten years ago. It would have changed my life dramatically.
But as they say, better late than never.
So what makes this chapter so special? If you have tried to make money online, you probably have been bombarded with must-have offers and have spent thousands trying to learn how to do it. The problem, the vast majority of people have been left utterly confused, intimidated, and especially broke.
This chapter cuts through the smoke and mirrors of the online marketing world and provides a basic but highly effective plan for people to get online, set up their online business, and yes, make money. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read it. It’s so clearly explained. I have paid people thousands for this information, and Adam’s book helped me fill in some crucial gaps the others have conveniently left out.
While it provides outstanding information on how to select a market, how to find or create products to sell to them, how to sell them, and how to help the market find your offers, there are a couple of small points that aren’t entirely up-to-date anymore.
The online world changes very quickly, and especially the way Google ranks websites. So Adam’s recommendation for keyword density would have to be taken with a grain of salt. However, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, don’t worry. The rest is so good that if you take the steps he recommends and also interact on the web, by the time you get to the keyword issue, you’ll know how to find updated information. And chances are, that this downloadable book will have been updated by the time you’ll get your hands on it.
Next, Adam goes into more depth about other millionaire habits, including keeping track of the money and not spending it frivolously. Once again, his book reads like your basic financial advisor handbook: stay away from credit cards, spend responsibly, and so on.
However, that seemingly conservative approach doesn’t extend to investing. In the following chapters, Adam shows how to invest safely yet with impressive returns. And over several chapters, he gives you such an outstanding guide to investing, including how to pick stocks, I was tempted to get started on the spot.
Finally, he wraps it all up by helping you design your very own Millionaire road map.
Once again, numerous worksheets guide you along, and by the time you’re finished, it’ll be just a matter of getting yourself in action.
Overall, an outstanding book. It promises a lot in its title, and while most of the other books with similar titles leave much to be desired, Adam’s book lives up to the first of the Millionaire Secrets: not only does it live up to even the kind of exaggerated expectations a book with this title might inspire, but it exceeds them.

There are a lot of books out there on how to become a millionaire, and quite a few on investing as well. Mostly, they’re disappointing. The millionaire books might be inspirational, the good ones anyway, and they may have some advice that’s useful, but in order to actually making them work, you would have to sign up for follow-up seminars and the special, proprietary coaching programs of the authors, all of them expensive.
And about those books on investments – they tend to be disappointing for a different reason: Either they’re too basic and conservative, in the vein of promising you that you too can become a millionaire if you invest 10% of your salary for the next 40 years.
Or they are, once again, too vague. They might provide introductions into some of the basics of certain aspects of stock trading, but if you’d try to actually follow their advice, you’d soon find yourself in hot water.
Not so with Adam Khoo and Conrad Lim’s book, Secrets of Millionaire Investors. Just from looking at the title, I would have probably expected more of the same. But Adam and Conrad actually provide the blueprints – and the details – on how to make investing work.
The book starts with a bang – taking us right into the world of trading stocks, and the challenges Adam faced during his first attempts at making it work. Let’s just say it wasn’t a pretty sight. For two years, he played it safe after that.
But the failures were just stepping stones, prompting Adam to seek out mentors and models from whom he could learn, something he discusses in much detail in some of his other books, for example in Master Your Mind and in Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires.
His key role model: Warren Buffett, arguably the world’s most successful investor. He studied what Buffett had done and quickly saw where he himself had gone wrong. His other investing books were of the sort I mentioned above – providing good but incomplete information, and Adam learned the hard way that a little knowledge, even if it’s good, can be very dangerous.
So he set out to learn everything he needed to know to become a successful investor, and started to apply what he learned. First he focused on Singapore, but he quickly moved on to the U.S. stock market, a much more dynamic marketplace.
But even skilled investing in the stock market only gets you so far. He soon noticed that some of his friends doubled their money in weeks... by buying options.
So he attended seminars and quickly expanded his expertise to options as well.
Next, Adam’s co-author, Conrad Lim, shares his own rags-to-riches story. He decided to learn about the stock market after going through several business failures and a bankruptcy. I actually find that inspiring. It means that even after thorough failure, you have a chance to better yourself, and become wealthy.
On his quest to learn about the stock market, Conrad too suffered the failures caused by good but incomplete information. He quickly learned from his mistakes, though, and slowly, he was making gains. After about a year, he was consistently earning a nice full-time income just from trading stocks, and things went uphill from there. He went from failure to becoming someone people sought out for advice.
Next, the book goes into the meat of investing, starting by dispelling the myths perpetrated by most of the other books, especially the one about the correlation between low risk and low return on one side, and high risk and high return on the other.
A poignant quote by Warren Buffett underlines that point:
“Risk Comes from Not Knowing What You Are Doing”
And that’s the situation the book sets out to remedy. I was amazed at the wealth of detail the book went into – efficiently and clearly explained in its 272 pages. And not just regular stock investing either, but all the fancy stuff, including options and short-selling.
Here’s some of the kind of information covered in this book:
1. Basic principles of how the stock market works, and how to work the stock market successfully, including such gems as how to make sure you get out early if you picked the wrong stock without getting burned too badly.
2. In a chapter, called “The Idiot Proof Way To Making Money” the authors explain the first and most basic system for making money in stocks. They argue that with the information they provide, it’s possible to achieve just about risk-free annual returns. The only “skill” you need is patience.
Have you ever been at those teaser investment seminars, where they tell you about surefire ways to make money in the stock market and show you some fancy charts that they say will tell you exactly when to buy and sell and so on? I have. And then they say that we’d get all the info we need to actually apply this information if we bought into their $5000 or so program.
Reading this chapter brought back those memories because all the charts they showed (and many more) are right here in this book, starting with this chapter. The difference: They’re explained in so much detail that you can actually apply that knowledge. That’s when I really started to pay attention. This was good stuff.
It teaches you how to buy, how to sell, when to buy and sell, and so much more. The “more” is key, of course. If you did just the idiot proof techniques, you could make a nice chunk of change, but it would probably be hard to become really wealthy that way. That’s why the authors added many ways to turbo-charge the process. And, something very important, especially when the economy goes through challenging times – they’ve provided plenty of ways to make money no matter what the economy does.
The next chapter is about Value Investing, Warren Buffett’s secret. But this goes way beyond the kind of information you can buy at a regular bookstore. And one of the key skills you learn in this chapter: How to evaluate a business and the potential of its stock – in great depth! Worksheets are provided.
Next, something really cool: “Momentum Investing.” I must admit that I had never even heard of that before. The idea is that you catch stocks that are about they take off and rise in value so quickly that most other people don’t catch on till they have to buy them at a premium. Many detailed charts and instructions help you to figure out which stocks are good candidates, and how to catch them just before they hit it big.
Of course, what goes up often comes down, either temporarily or, sometimes, permanently. So this chapter also provides detailed strategies on how you can protect yourself from losing what you’ve just earned.
If the book ended here, it would have already surpassed my expectations, as well as most of what you can find elsewhere, and probably most of those $5000 seminars as well.
But it doesn’t end here. It goes on to cover stock options, the real secret to making lots of money in the stock market, and quickly. Of course, you can also lose your shirt, but after learning and carefully applying all the strategies in this offer, that chance is much reduced.
The beauty of stock options, according to Adam and Conrad, is that you can make money with them in any kind of economic climate, that results can come quickly, and that you can leverage whatever funds you have by controlling a much larger amount of money. That is also the key to the risk, which is why options are something to be approached with caution – and knowledge of how they work.
There are a few warnings in this chapter. Don’t try this at home... (unless you know what you’re doing). Yet there are also techniques that are much less risky – and the authors point them out and proceed to explain them so thoroughly, I wanted to stop reading the rest of the book and just have a go at them.
In fact, options are really the heart of this book. They are the key to making significant financial gains in a short amount of time, and so they get a lot of extra coverage. How they work, how to understand the information you need to gather to make informed decisions about them, and how to best go about making money with them.
There’s even a super safe way to make money with options. Yes, you can still lose money but the amount is very limited – and you stand to gain a great deal if your bet pays off. Plus, of course, with the information you have gathered using the other techniques, your bet will always be informed.
Another whole chapter is devoted to the fine art of short selling, a technique that can pay off big during bear markets. You’ve probably read about them in the paper. Well, here’s how to do it, and, of course, with lots and lots of detailed info along with work sheets for help with assessing funds and their performance so your chances at success are maximized.
The last chapter guides you towards putting all this information into action. Once again, it comes with work sheets you can use to assess your risk and the probable movement of the stocks. And advice on how to keep track of your gains and losses so you can tweak your system and make it turn mostly profits.
All in all – it’s an outstanding guide to how to make money in the stock market – with charts and plenty of work sheets where you can track and evaluate the stocks you’re interested in.
It’s a how-to book that really lives up to its name. Just one small disappointment – there were a few places where the authors mention some even more advanced strategies, which are only available to members of their proprietary Wealth Academy program. So there’s still a bit of the old tease.
But on the other hand, the book provides a wealth of actionable information, which is plenty to keep its readers busy for a long time, and, if they apply it diligently, it should quickly pay for Adam’s Wealth Academy program, where they learn to accelerate their income even more.
And come to think of it, there’s always more to learn, and considering the value that this book provides, the fact that Adam and Conrad offer a way to learn even more is actually great news.

Secrets of Building Multi-Million Dollar Businesses
Adam Khoo has done it again.
He has created a comprehensive guide to making money -- this time it's a book on making money by building million dollar businesses. As he has done in his investment book, for example, Adam has packed several books' worth of information into one big and very readable volume.
And don't feel intimidated by the title. If you believe that aiming for a multi-million dollar business may be reaching too high and that you'd prefer something a little -- or a lot -- smaller, suspend that thought for now.
First of all, the strategies in this book can be used to build and especially grow a business of ANY size. So just because you may have a small consulting firm, for example, or a local specialty restaurant, and would like to keep it that way, aside from wanting more clients or customers, don't think this book isn't for you.
And the second reason why you should keep reading is this:
As Adam points out in all his books I have read so far, your mindset is crucial for your success. Unfortunately, most of us place too many limitations on ourselves in terms of what we believe we can achieve. You'll discover ways to break out of those limitations and set your aim at higher goals.
In fact, after sharing his own rags to riches story, Adam provides a manual on creating that success mind set. Doing this kind of work for himself has started Adam on his journey from failure to millionaire, and he continues to provide guidance on how to do the same in his training seminars as well as in his books, including this one.
And you won't be just reading about it, but there are exercises included and worksheets to fill out, so you'll have the opportunity to get actively involved and recalibrate your own mindset.
You may find that you've been holding yourself back all these years, and that now is the time to break free and go for what you'd really like to accomplish.
From there, Adam continues with a wealth of very solid information on how to set up and run a business, and how to take it to the level of a million dollar business (and beyond, if you so choose).
In fact, at the end, he even shows you how you can take your company public and/or turn it into an international corporation. High aims. But it's your choice just how far you want to take it. Adam himself discusses his personal choices in this regard -- and the reason why he has made them. I found that very interesting and helpful.
Here are some of the specific things you'll learn:
* What kinds of skills it takes to be a successful entrepreneur and how to acquire the skill set you'll need.
Here, Adam demonstrates how a pattern of blaming is holding most people back, and he offers concrete how-to steps to overcome that limitation. He also provides examples, as he does throughout his book, from his own experience as well as other businesses. Those examples make the chapters highly compelling reading and effectively illustrate what not to do -- and what to do instead.
He provides a case study from his own experience -- when he first tried to market a
seminar on NLP for business success. First it flopped -- just one person signed up. But Adam didn't buy in to the excuses those around him offered and instead took responsibility. He asked his customers why they hadn't signed up, got the three main reasons, took care of those as he redesigned his presentation, and bingo! People started signing up.
Another skill set is constant innovation. Nothing works forever, so regular tracking is crucial -- that and flexibility.
He provides more examples here, from his own company and others. Remember Alta Vista? It failed to keep up, and Yahoo took over, at first, and then Google came along. Now, when we talk about looking for something online, we just Google it!
Yet another key skill set includes money management, as well as operational and systems development. He provides McDonalds and its founder Ray Kroc as an example here.
Once the basics are in place, Adam proceeds with the how-to for actually setting up that million dollar business. Here are some of the things you'll discover:
* How to come up with a million dollar business idea. The key here is to develop a revolutionary product or find one that exists and deliver in revolutionary way.
If that, and the requirement to be the "best," sounds intimidating, just keep on reading. There are countless ways to achieve that. Adam lists what it will take, from passion, and specialized knowledge to a unique competitive advantage. And one of the best ways to get that advantage is to solve the problems that your prospective customers have, often with competing service providers.
One of his examples is 7-Eleven. At the time they got started, convenience stores were open for much shorter hours, making it impossible for people to get what they needed later in the evening or earlier in the morning. Now, of course, 7-Eleven has its stores all over the world.
To help with that, Adam shows you how to select your target market and analyze what that market wants so you can give it to them.
Next it's time to actually plan your business, and the section that shows you how to do that doubles a guide to creating your whole business plan.
Then, once the business is in place, you'll need to know how to run your business (rather than letting your business run you). Part of this section includes information about effective hiring and employee management.
The following section on how to market your business is my favorite:
This is in fact a chapter that's highly valuable for any business. It includes all the key ingredients, including how to set up and implement a marketing plan, how to write a sales letter, how to sell face-to-face, (an excellent primer on sales!), and so on. And yes, lots of great examples to illustrate how they work, and worksheets so the reader can actually implement them.
One of the most powerful tools in that chapter is Adams Profit Multiplication Formula, where you basically just plug in your numbers and can see instantly how you can improve your profits. Of course he also provides detailed plans for how to increase profits over a period of time by implementing a variety of strategies. Included is a list of 46 ways to increase your leads.
In the next chapter, Sales and Profits, he shows you many ways to connect with your leads and converting them into paying customers. From building rapport to asking the right questions and listening, it's comprehensive primer on sales skills. This chapter includes several lists of things you can do to increase sales and revenue.
Once you've gotten that far, your business should be humming along. Now you'll need to build an effective team, so he gives you a manual on hiring, training, and how to turn your employees into a team that can operate without constant need for hand-holding.
And that's crucial if you want to expand because otherwise, you'll run yourself ragged and set yourself up for failure.
Finally, there's a big section on money management, and one on taking your company international (and public, if you so choose).
All in all, an excellent manual on how to build your business, one that will be useful to any business owner as well as those who would like to become business owners.
If I had to criticize something about the book, it's the fact that the title might scare off a lot of people who might really benefit from reading it. Yet I realize that the title also represents the unique selling proposition of this book, and Adam definitely delivers.

Profit From The Panic
How To Make Your Fortune From The Worst Financial Crisis Since The Great Depression!
Profit From The Panic
Inspired by the global financial meltdown, Adam Khoo and his co authors have come up with another best seller book called “Profit From The Panic”. Their primary objective of writing this book was with the hope that it would assist more ordinary people to be more investment savvy. We cannot deny the fact that the global financial meltdown had affected every economy in the world. From Wall Street to Main Street, everyone was affected. However, it is without a doubt that main street, the ordinary people, are most affected by this economic downturn. Many have not only lost their retirement nest but also their homes and jobs. Thus, this trio has come together in order to produce this insightful book about the global financial meltdown that is specifically geared towards bringing awareness to the general masses. In addition, they have also pledged to donate the royalties from this book to charity in order to assist the down trodden.
For the majority of the public not schooled in financial wizardry, the reasons for the global financial meltdown are baffling. This is where one of the authors, Ryan Huang did an excellent job in explaining and outlining the reasons for the global financial meltdown. The trio of authors who came up with this book comprises of Adam Khoo, Conrad Alvin Lim and Ryan Huang. Adam Khoo is one of Singapore top best selling author with seven bestsellers to his credit. An extremely successful entrepreneur and a peak performance trainer, he had touched the lives of over 355 thousands people positively over the duration of 15 years as a trainer.
Conrad Lim, on the other hand, is one of the very few successful online traders based in Singapore. His intimate grasp of technical analysis and online trading strategies has made him one of the most sought after online trading master. He was also the co-author together with Adam Khoo for the number one bestseller in Singapore for 2007, “Secrets of Millionaire Investors”. A journalist by profession, Ryan Huang works with Channel NewsAsia. His coverage of international news allowed him to be very well informed about the circumstances surrounding the global financial meltdown.
“Profit From The Panic” is not merely a book that seek to enlighten us about the global financial meltdown. In fact, the book goes deeper than that. It also explain how instead of just licking one’s wound as a result of the biggest financial catastrophe since the Great Depression of the late 1920s, one can actually turn the whole scenario around. Each chapter of the book lay down the ground work towards a deeper understanding of how the current downturn in the economy is actually a blessing in disguise for even the novice investor.
Flowing from explaining the reasons for the global financial meltdown in chapter one, chapter two of “Profit from the Panic” explain in a simple but clear manner how the financial market works. With case studies based on historical data, the book explains the intricacies of the financial market in such a manner that even a lay person will have no difficulties grasping the concepts and principles behind the inner workings of the financial market. For example, with the use of the S & P 500 index, the authors managed to illustrate the point that regardless of the short term fluctuations in the financial market, in the long run, the financial market will always be on the uptrend. This illustration also permitted the authors to introduce the concept of long term investment strategies into the picture.
In chapter three and four, the authors introduce the concept of “Crisis Sectors” which tie in seamlessly with the notion of long term investment. A point of interest which the authors highlighted was that 80% of investors actually lose money due to the fact that their investment strategies were based on the short term. As they pointed out in chapter two of their book, the financial market is prone to unpredictable short term fluctuations and it is only in the long term that the market will continue to rise. As such, they keep stressing the importance of investing with a long term objective. The case for long term investment strategy is even made stronger with their example of comparing a person’s lifetime earning with a stock portfolio running across the same duration. Here in these two chapters, they also introduced the use of Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) to buy into the market. For many of us, ETF is a relatively new concept in financial investments. Nevertheless, the authors were able to convince me about the benefits of ETF over unit trusts.
The preceding chapter five and chapter six discuss about how one can learn to pick winning stocks amidst the chaos of the financial market. Here in this section of the book, the authors teach readers how to buy stocks base on its “Intrinsic Value”. They also illustrated with examples of how to arrive at the intrinsic value of a stock. Coupling this concept with a long term investment strategy, their analysis shows that investors will always be on the winning side. In retrospect, all the steps are clearly defined by the authors. Any novice investor will have no difficulty at all in trying to follow what the authors are trying to share with their readers.
In the ending chapter of the book, the authors provided a summary of what was covered inside the book. In addition, they also leave a few cautionary advices for readers to follow to avoid the mistakes that most investors made. Financial risk management is also covered within this chapter. Readers are well advised to pay heed to what these successful and professionals have to say regarding the risk management especially in a highly volatile market like the financial market.
In conclusion, the book provides value for its readers and is an excellent read. The tone is light and even on occasion humorous. It is not overbearing as with most books on financial investing. For those thinking of taking control of their financial destiny by investing in the financial market, then this book is a must read. The insights offered by the authors will save readers a lot of grief later on than when one decided to invest blindly.
Nurturing The Winner & Genius In Your Child
Discover How To Transform The Way You Communicate With Your Children And Nurture The Winner & Genius In Them!
For many, being a parent is part and parcel of married life. Parenting can be said to be one of the most difficult as well as rewarding job that a person can have. What makes parenting even more challenging is the fact that the majority of us are never prepared for how our kids will turn to be. In life, we do not have a school that we can go to and graduate as a parent. Many times, we learn to do things through trail and error or follow the footsteps of our own parents. Nevertheless, we find that parenting, much to our horror, is not only about providing food and shelter for our kids but also about nurturing them to be better than who we are. It is here that many of us as parents meet our biggest obstacles as our kids never seem to understand the words that come out from our mouth even though we speak the same language call English.
No doubt many parents face this problem as their children grow older. The gap in communication becomes wider and wider with age and we find that out kids turn to their peers more than to us as parents for counsel. The upside of things is that parenting need not be an uphill struggle between your child and yourself. With the proper strategy and right frame of mind, we as parents do have the power to help shape our children lives positively. The key lies in being able to communicate with them coherently and I find the book by Adam Khoo and Gray Lee called “Nurturing the Winner & Genius in Your Child” an extremely helpful and informative book in this respect.
Adam Khoo, a best seller author and peak performance trainer, and co author Gray Lee, a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming™ (NLP) trainer and an MBTITM accredited facilitator have put together an excellent book that helps explain why our children behave the way they are. Together, these two highly qualified individuals have trained and empowered over 350,000 people to change their lives for the better. Their highly successful Superkids™, ‘I Am Gifted So Are You!™’,‘Patterns of Excellence™’ and ‘Wealth Academy™’ programs have already been adopted in several countries in South East Asia.
This book was written based on the premise that the positive development of a child is built upon on mutual active participation between the parents and the child. This is where this book differs from most of the other books regarding child development. As a parent myself, I have to confess that at times, due to the stress of modern life, we tend to overlook the emotional needs of our children because we took it for granted that they understand the adult world. I also have to admit that the time I invested into reading this book did indeed enlighten me about several aspects of parenting which never crossed my mind. One of the most powerful concepts that I was able to grasp was that in order for us to successfully develop our children mindset positively, is that the changes have to come from within us first. Adam Khoo calls this concept “Reframing the Mind”.
“Reframing the Mind” basically refers to changing the negative mindset and perception of a child to one that is positive in order that the child can be empowered and grow in self esteem. And this takes place at the contextual and as well as the content level of a particular situation. The book was able to clearly illustrate how this reframing of the mind works on both the parent and the child. For example, on the parental level, when a child complain that it is useless to further his or her studies and he or she prefer to start working early, our response as parent should not be to ignore their emotions and give them a typical response like “Are you crazy?” Instead the book advices us as a parent to first reframe our mind and approach the situation differently by recognizing and respecting the perception of their world.
In addition, the book is also filled with exercises that help parents to unlock the potential in their children mind. For example, in Chapter 2 of the book, it explains how we were all born with the innate potential to be geniuses and using the transformational exercises contain in the book, we can actually “unlock” our children learning potential. The book also uses Adam Khoo when he was young as an example. Using techniques like ‘Whole Brain Learning’, ‘Accelerated Learning’, ‘Mind Mapping’, ‘Brain Optional Learning’, ‘Super Memory Techniques’ and ‘Speed Reading’, he transformed himself from being a slow learner into a gifted student.
Overall the book is well written and well laid out. The concepts and philosophy put forward are explained clearly. And written with a personal tone and at times humorous, it is easy to relate to what the authors are trying to say. This is not surprising as the book also reveal the authors own personal challenges and experiences in their lives making reading this book all the more interesting and enjoyable. At times, I cannot help but laugh at what the book pointed out to me as a parent especially when it comes to the ways that we had reprimanded our children.
Our world today has changed tremendously from what it used to be. The ways we communicate with each other have also changed in ways that we could not even imagine 20 years ago. During our childhood years, we were playing with diecast toys or stuffed dolls for the girls; children today have computer games that are networked all over the world. At a single click of the mouse, they can reach out to almost anyone on the internet. Yet, despite all the conveniences of modern communication technologies, we find ourselves drifting further and further apart from our children. Ask yourself this, does your child spend more time on the computer or with you? This is one of the key issues that this book did point out me to me while I was perusing through it.
Computer games addiction is a very common theme among youngster nowadays. We adults can never fully understand why as we have never experienced the kind of “stress” that children nowadays go through. Chapter 1 of the book helped me to understand the reason behind the allure of computers games to children. One of the reasons is that, children used computer games as a form of regaining control of their lives although sadly within the confines of the virtual world. And this in turn, teaches children that instant gratification is the norm of life today. Unlike before, we were taught appreciate the principle of delayed gratification. With the exercises laid in the book, we can actually discover the “root” causes of the problems faced by our children and deal with them accordingly.
Unless we as parents take the first initiative to learn to understand our children better from their point of view, we will never to able to bridge this communication gap. We cannot use the methods which our parents brought us up with and impose them on own our children. The world then as we know it is no longer as it used to be. With that, we ourselves must realize that the old ways of parenting are no longer applicable in our modern world. To nurture the development of our children positively, we ourselves need to, as Adam Khoo says, “Reframe our Mind” first. And that first step starts by reading “Nurturing the Winner & Genius in Your Child” and learning new strategies for effective parenting.
Lucky Bastard!
How One 25-Year-Old Makes A Six Figure Income Working Four Hours A Day From Home And The Step-By-Step System How To!
Lucky Bastard!
As a writer, among the countless books that I had read about internet marketing, once in a while you come across a book written in such a manner that you could regard it as a rare gem. Truly simplistic but yet totally inspiring, Adam Wong’s “Lucky Bastard” have managed to captivate my undivided attention since I picked up the book. The internet, a recent technological innovation, for many of us aspiring to embrace the internet revolution commercially, it can be a daunting task as well as an exciting one. What Adam Wong managed to do in his book “Lucky Bastard” is rather thought provoking and view realigning as well. Despite the title of the book, Adam Wong is definitely no lucky bastard. He had managed to achieve what so many of us can only dream off by applying the success formula that his mentor and co author, Adam Khoo, taught him.
Regardless of being a university dropout, Adam Wong is a very successful entrepreneur and internet marketer. At the age of 25 years old, Adam Wong was already making a six figure income, the salary of some multinational CEOs. The book “Lucky Bastard” made it to the Sunday Times Bestsellers list (Singapore) for three weeks amongst other non fiction bestsellers like Malcom Gladwell’s Outliers and Robert Kiyosaki’s Rick Brother, Rich Sister making him not only a successful businessman but also a best selling author as well. His mentor, Adam Khoo, is no less successful as well. A multi millionaire by the age of 26 and a best selling author with over seven bestsellers to his name, Adam Khoo being a peak performance trainer had trained over 355,000 individuals to achieve excellence in their lives.
Adam Wong managed to tie all the concepts together necessary for success in a simple but yet informative manner. Written with a very personal voice, readers will be able to easily interact with his experiences. His clever use of humor ensures that one will never get bored reading this highly informative book. One of the concepts that he puts forward is that age is never a factor. And like what his mentor Adam Khoo also stresses, success only comes to those who take action. He also tells how he got the idea of asking Adam Khoo to be his mentor when he was just 19 years old. His goal then? …was just to trying to be a millionaire by the age of 25…so he can be a year ahead of his mentor.
In fact the beginning of the book begins with how regardless of one’s age, with just a one single defining moment; our lives can change in ways we cannot imagine. He uses his case as a perfect example of this line of thinking. I could say he took what he learnt from his mentor, Adam Khoo, and applied “the ultimate success formula” in laying down the blueprint for building a successful internet business. I guess, in this section of the book, he is sowing the seed for successful entrepreneurship generally and not just for the web business.
For many of us, the cyber world actually represents a paradigm shift not only in the way we thinking but also in what can constitute as successful business models, to paraphrase Adam Wong, “From Bricks to Clicks”. The types of business opportunities for an aspiring web entrepreneur are many but at the same time, we are aware of the various scams that also perpetuate on the internet. Here in this respect, Adam Wong did a great job is showing what types of ventures that novices can look forward to on the internet. He introduces the various options like selling digital products to bring the world of affiliate marketing right to the doorsteps of novices. They will find Chapter Two of the book extremely informative in this respect. There are several market segments that are clearly defined and explained by Adam Wong and with each segments, he gives real life examples of the types of products that can be sold on the internet. For example, in the digital product market, he uses itunes.com as one successful web business that sells mp3 songs for 99 cents each.
Affiliate marketing is also covered in chapter two of the book. For those would be Web entrepreneurs without their own products to sell, this section is a must read. And in plain simple English, readers will be able to follow the exact steps he undertook to create successful business from several of the models he presented in the book. For those wanting to create and sell their own products, Adam Wong guides them along in Chapter Three of “Lucky Bastard”. He starts off by forewarning readers not to create what they think that will make a good product but rather provide what the market really wants.
He does this by reiterating s an example of how he committed this error. Here he is brutally honest as to the mistakes he made during the early years. I estimated with this admission alone, he manages to shave off six month to a year for a novice’s learning curve. In addition, he also seamlessly introduced the concept of internet market niches and how to search for potentially profitable ones here in this chapter of the book.
In conclusion, it can be safely said that the book covers every essential steps that w need to know in order to start a successful web business. From market identification, product creation, website design and web traffic management, each chapter of the book shows the required steps and tools to make the whole process of setting up a successful web business. After reading the whole book, two things are very clear to me:
- Adman Wong absolutely convinced me about the viability of an internet business.
- He is no lucky bastard. Hence, if he can do it, with the steps that he just shown in the book, any reader will also be able to do it.
In retrospect, any entrepreneur regardless of whether he is “brick based” or “click based” can learn a thing or two by reading “Lucky Bastard.”
