Roger's Rant…

Last week was pretty EXCITING for me…

Here are THREE updates to share:

UPDATE #1: My FIRST iPhone workshop

I conducted my first iPhone workshop last week. It was supposed to be a mini workshop from 7-10 pm. Guess what time we finished?

Well… it was the LATEST workshop I ever conducted!!

The class left at 11.30 pm!!!

There was SO much to teach and I promised the participants that they will know about the iPhone MORE than 80% of the iPhone
users out there

Frankly, I’m not sure if I fulfilled my promise in such a short time but they all got:

• 15 pages of notes
• an Video Tutorial blog on the iPhone!

And all that for just $45

UPDATE #2: I sold a SECONDHAND iPad

I helped my nephew sell his iPad because he seldom used it. It was the ORIGINAL model.

Well, at least this iPad (only 6 months old) went to someone in need of it who will use it to DOUBLE her productivity!

Why am I so sure?

Well, because she’s going to attend my FIRST iPad Productivity workshop on 2 July 11

UPDATE #3: G.O.A.L.S. Networking

On behalf of WIN WIN Networking, I invited more than a dozen people for a SPECIAL brand of G.O.A.L.S. networking which stands for:

G = Goals
O = Occupation
A = Achievements
L = Leisure
S = Skills

Participants had to share their G.O.A.L.S. with one another and as a result, got to know each other rather quickly, thus speeding up the networking process. For more information on networking, visit

Business Networking IS the most beneficial event to invest our time in.

I just want to share with you … last nite, I attended Bon Ami networking session at Yakun Coffee, Orchard Central and benefited alot!

Here’s what happened in less than two hours well spent:

…won the FIRST book prize (worth $18.60) <— it was my Beginner’s Luck as I couldn’t attend a single Bon Ami last year due to my frequent holiday trips in 2010. Thank GOD for His Blessing!

… met many good contacts, including a Book Publisher (someone whom I wanted to meet for a long time)

… participated in a joint book publishing project to get my article in so that it would generate a lot more business in future!

… had coffee and tea and 2 slices of bread (Shh! Don’t tell the organizer I ate more than my fair share

… learned some stuff about business and entrepreneurship and book publishing

… even struck up a business deal, expecting to convert to REAL $$$ for a long, long time to come

NOTE: Just a word of caution: this is a BONUS and NOT an often occurrence; when we attend networking events, our primary purpose is to get to know more contacts and then follow up to build relationships and explore possibilities, not to solicit for business there and then.

Well…

Can you imagine if I did’t go to that event? It would be such a GREAT LOSS!!

Networking IS truly very beneficial if we know how to harness it to market ourselves, our business, our products and services and NOT to treat networking events as prospecting events. That’s a *BIG* NO NO!

And… that’s the reason why I meet people for coffee almost every day, just to explore opportunities, exchange ideas, knowledge and get to know each other better… it’s so fun and so cool and yet, so few people realize the benefits

I hope you go out there and network the heck out of it… next week, I already committed to TWO networking events:

… visiting BNI Prosperity Chapter on Tuesday 22 Feb 11, 7.30 to 9.30 am

… hosting our own WIN WIN Networking Nite on Thursday 24 Feb 11, 7 to 10 pm <— do join us if you can, the details are at http://www.Autoprofit-team.com/winwin
