Like It Or Not, You’re Governed by Rules
March 1, 2010 by admin · 9 Comments
There are rules governing you that attracts or repel you from success. The Universe have ‘rules’ – that’s how Law of Attraction principle work so well for many.
Tiger Woods made me aware of this in his latest public statement. If you haven’t read that before, you can read it by clicking here.
Extracted from the website above:
I stopped living by the core values that I was taught to believe in. I knew my actions were wrong, but I convinced myself that normal rules didn’t apply. I never thought about who I was hurting. Instead, I thought only about myself. I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple should live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted to. I felt that I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame, I didn’t have to go far to find them.
I was wrong. I was foolish. I don’t get to play by different rules. The same boundaries that apply to everyone apply to me. I brought this shame on myself. I hurt my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife’s family, my friends, my foundation and kids all around the world who admired me.

In life, you’re given a set of rules to follow that are not written in words. Your job is to be alert and know them. As a matter of fact, Success has already laid out to you how to win the game! For instance, the core values like being persistence, have confident in you, stay positive, abundance mentality and so on are just part of the rules to achieve your dreams and goals. Can you argue with me that if you live fearfully, always think negative and so on, you can achieve success? Of course they don’t help and that’s not playing by the rules of success!
By now, if you didn’t get it, I’ve just given you the greatest hint to success.
But the good news is, you can play the game of success with extra advantages and it’s allowed as long as you don’t break the rules.
And these advantages can be found in KNOWLEDGE.
For instance, you could be a self-confident chap right now but the fact is, you can be even more self-confident if you know the strategies how to improve yourself. How would you know your limit or potential if you are having the assumption that you already know? Big mistake.
And this is not just towards being self-confident or something like that, but EVERY KNOWLEDGE, SKILL AND TALENT you have right now in you. Crazy, huh?
This is why, I’ve continue to read books and listen to courses related to personal development and success achievement - it’s not because I don’t know how what I don’t right now, but because I don’t know what I don’t know yet.
Only with the right knowledge, I can play the game better.
You don’t win the game by just knowing the rules. Wouldn’t you be able to play better Tennis if you know how to hold the racquet firmly, when to swing and how to swing it than just knowing the rules? I rest my case.
One last point, the opposite of winning is losing. Don’t worry about others lossing if you win because in the game of life, everybody can still be winning when you win.
Feel free to leave your comment - I read every single of them and always appreciate my reader’s feedback.
Thanks.

Where Whiners Come From?
February 28, 2010 by admin · 8 Comments
I’m going to talk about overcoming fear today and there’s a reason why I choose that - because I don’t like whiners. Whiners are irritating and energy-sucking. And if you drill deep inside, it’s really not their fault, it’s because they don’t have fear inside them to overcome their problems. That’s why they whine. 
In my opinion, fearful thought is a disease! It comes largely from distorted mental habits. You see, our mind is consistently dwelling upon thoughts of doubt, failure, and inefficiency - that’s just how our brain functions. And this leads to many kinds of fear like fear of poverty, darkness, ridicule, microbes, insomnia, dogs, lightning, burglars, cold, solitude, marriage, Friday, lawyers, death, thirteen, accident, and ghosts and most importantly for our discussion, fear of failure.
At the same time, it’s not wrong that one should fear, however, when it’s not being acknowledged, it weakens the personal character.
Here’s an interesting research…
Thousands of people when asked can say truthfully, “I have all my life feared things that never happened.”
It means that, WHATEVER YOU HAVE FEARED COULD BE JUST AN ILLUSION.
Indecision is another frequent cause of the fear. People hesitate to take a step one way or the other for fear that they might do the wrong thing, and this spirit of irresolution and hesitation often leads them into the very mistakes they would avoid. It’s like a man on a bicycle, endeavoring to steer clear of an obstruction on the road, but all the while keeping his eye fastened upon it so that a collision is inevitable. There is nothing more disastrous to success than lack of purpose. If you give an impression that you are afraid, you will elbowed aside and imposed upon at almost every turn.
Personal experience:
I was in a casino last week and I was playing Baccarat. And if you have played before, you would know that it has nothing to do with skill. After start playing for a while, I’ve started losing my bet and a negative thought caught my mind - I lost confidence and fear of losing again. And you can guess what happened, I lost all of my chips after that. How did that happened? How did I end up playing on the wrong bet all of the time after that? It’s unexplainable, it’s what I meant by ‘attraction’.
When you have fear inside you, it frequently attracts what you don’t want.
How to overcome fear?
Well, be fearless. Develop self confidence in yourself.
The development of self-confidence begins with your own intelligent self-examination. The mind must be closely scrutinized, undesirable tendencies checked; faults eradicated, and correct habits of thought and conduct firmly established.
Sounds complex right? In a nutshell, you have to be strong in your mind to pull this off.
And good news is, confidence breeds confidence! The building of self-confidence is not difficult, but it requires patience and intelligent effort. There should be no straining, no anxiety, and no haste. Get it going and your self-confident will naturally ‘grows’.
–
We shouldn’t apologize to ourselves (of course unless you’ve done something really wrong). We should be too big for that little habit of making excuses. Depreciation of yourself, self-pity and so on, never won a single battle of life. It has, on the contrary, killed ambition, weakened the will, and incapacitated thousands of men for noble work. That is why I hate whiners so much.
Suppose you put these practical questions to yourself: Does negative thinking pay?
Is it desirable for me to encourage thoughts in my mind that break down, hinder, and incapacitate me for good work?
Do I want negative thoughts that inevitably bring discontent and unhappiness?
Your answer will be, of course, that you don’t want them. But such thoughts work insidiously, and will find an entrance into your mind if you’re not extremely vigilant. The surest way to keep them out, however, is to fill the mind completely with vital positive thoughts, to think constantly of yourself as a person of unlimited possibilities, growing daily in mental and spiritual power AND STOP WHINING why your life is not the way you want it to be.
Realize that no weak-hearted, intermittent efforts will achieve your desired purpose. Hold in your mind the supreme assurance that you can and will achieve this indispensable power, and your reward for your energy and perseverance will be great!

When You Can Achieve Success? When?
February 16, 2010 by admin · 8 Comments
You know, the word “Success” is very broad and everyone would have their own definition of it. And of course - there are many components of success, ranging from health to wealth.
But let’s take wealth as part of success for an example (since wealth is rather easy to quantify) - someone making $10,000 a month could be a success but that some amount of money, could be a big failure for other people. Weird right?
So I guess it’s fair for me to say that the ‘numbers’ is not an ultimate benchmark because each person’s goal and expectation are different.
I can tell you one thing for sure — achieving success is a very interesting ‘quest’ or journey. Seems like the longer you wait, the least possibility that you’ll achieve it.
My piece of advice? If you want to achieve success, be it a $10,000 or a million dollar goal, better do it now.
But I know, a lot of people can’t do it now because they’re waiting for the right time or they think that something else is still missing before they can ‘go all out’ to make their dreams come true for themselves.
There are plenty of reasons why. As a matter of fact, lack of confidence will also influence this decision, although most people will never admit that they don’t have confidence. Come on, who will admit that they’re weak or inferior?
Then there’s the reason of being fearful. As we know of, there are many types of fear and I guess the most dreadful one would probably be the fear of failure. Funny thing is, I’ve never seen a successful man or woman who never fails before and yet, people who never achieve success are worried about failures when failures is actually what ‘help’ them to achieve success.
The strategy to get started on your goal and achieve success is to take impactful “baby” steps. Many are dreamers who will ALWAYS be dreamers because they don’t see the ’small’ things.
Put it this way, Rome wasn’t build in a day.
I mean, I have so many conversations with people who told me about their great million-dollar ideas but when I ask them who’s going to do it, to make the idea a reality, they either shy away or give me an impractical answer like, “Oh, I’ll partner with someone to do all of the business building part.” O-M-G. Unless you happened to be Sir Richard Branson or Steve Jobs, I don’t think anyone wants to work on your idea and slave their time to build your dream. Wake up.
This is why, I’m so passionate with the success formulas that I share with my Private Members - they’re quick and precise. You don’t need to apply all of them and here’s the cool thing; even if you can just apply one success formula a week, you’ll start to create small impact in your life that will snowball into huge success.
Get them now at www.successtrace.com. Really.
I want you to start seeing the way to success in a different way (that is, if you like to follow my formula).
1. First, success happens when you start with ’something’. Like, if you want to drive a Porsche but can’t afford it yet right now, get another brand’s car that you can afford. Then as long as Porsche is still in your intention, I believe you’ll find a way to get it. But if you don’t start with another car first and just want to have THAT Porsche, I think it’s going to be a tougher goal.
2. There’s no one formula to success, bucko. STOP TORTURING YOUR MIND TO LOOK FOR IT. Even Law Of Attraction has so many methods to go about it. The trick is to keep on ‘pilling’ more success formulas into your life and “snowball” it.
3. The more you delay, the less likely you’re going to get it. I know it sounds cruel but hey, like it or not, that’s the fact. You better start achieving your success now or else it might never happens at all because there are going to be so many events and circumstances in your life.
4. It’s very important that you can ‘taste’ success now, regardless of how small it is. That itself will propel you to continue your journey and ignite your flame of passion to keep you excited.
5. Finally, ask yourself, WHEN? When you’re going to experience success? Of course, success could be define as anything but in this context, we’ll stick to financial wealth to make it easy to visualize. So can you see yourself driving the BMW or Porsche that you want or living in your ideal house? Just imagine that you don’t have a timeline but you just say to yourself that you want to own your dream car or house on one fine day. Now, that sounds like a loser’s wishful thinking. If anyone’s reading this is offended by what I’ve said, I’m sorry but unfortunately, I’m in the business of helping people to achieve success in life, not a consoling doctor.

The Secrets I’ve Learned From Them
February 12, 2010 by admin · 1 Comment
In the past 10 months, I’ve been having conversations with some of the most successful people in the world for their expertise — best-selling authors, multi-millionaires and world-class speakers. I can tell you that they are the people who have my highest respect in what they do.
And I’m going to share with you what they’ve taught me… what I’ve learned from them that have helped me to achieve success in leaps and bounds within 10 short months. Today, their secrets can be yours.
These are just one of my many lessons learned from what were shared by them:
(All of the audio interviews will be released when The Success Trace relaunch on the 9th February at www.successtrace.com):
Bill Bartmann
What I’ve learn from my interview with Bill Bartmann, the “Billionaire Business Coach” who has been named National Entrepreneur of the Year by NASDAQ, USA Today and Merrill Lynch and Harvard Business School use him as a case study:
People are held back from opportunities because the fear of the unknown. The biggest myth to wealth is that you need to know the characteristic of the opportunity to take full advantage of it. Not true. For instance, do you need to know about burgers to start a McDonald’s? Nope. But this is not a good example because McDonalds’ a franchise that comes with a complete system.
So to relate another example – do you need to know about programming and web design to start an internet business and create an income stream? Of course not.
Don’t let opportunity slips away from your hand because you’re worried that you don’t have the knowledge and experience to take advantage of it because everything is UNKNOWN in the beginning before you explore it.
John Harricharan
What I’ve learn from my interview with John Harricharan, the top authority of spirituality and featured in a book with His Royal Highness, Prince Philip of Great Britain, the Dalai Lama and Paul McCartney:
The reason why it’s possible for you to attain wealth by using the power of spirituality is because you are now living in an abundant world – plant that thought into your mind now. Spirituality is not related to feelings, emotions and so on or it is your mind. It’s everything. In the spirituality world, you don’t ‘need to take’ from someone to be yours. Meaning, someone doesn’t need to be unhealthy for you to be healthy. Because I’m breathing now, it doesn’t mean that you cannot breathe, we do not take away from each other – there are enough for everyone. At the same time, our lives are consistently guided by the Universe with Signs and your only job is to have the awareness to ’see’ these signs.
Dr. Joe Rubino
What I’ve learn from my interview with Dr Joe Rubino, the internationally acclaimed expert on elevating self esteem and author of 11 best-selling book that are available in 19 languages and in 48 countries:
You’re influenced directly and indirectly to be who you are today when you were a child. And let’s say you were told that you’re not smart and believe into that, you’ll look for the evidence to support your belief.
It’s the same thing to why most people fail to achieve success because they don’t believe that they can. So instead of doing the best to achieve, their minds start to find reason why they CANNOT achieve success and guess what will happen… they’ll find the evidence that they look for – to fail. You got to always stay alert and be aware of what your brain is actually looking for – is it helping you to get closer or away from your goals?
The good news is, even if you have a messed up childhood, you can actually solve this problem by being aware that you’re having this problem and go through the process of ‘completion’ and move forward.
Jim Britt
What I’ve learn from my interview with Jim Britt, internationally recognized leader in the field of peak performance training and a world-class speaker who has presented to over 1,000,000 people at seminars:
You can’t be happy if you don’t know what happiness is to you. Would you want to wake up one day with a lot of money but your wife/husband and children do not care and love you? Of course your instant answer would be ‘no’ but you’ll be surprised that many people are actually doing that because they have a false interpretation of what happiness really means to them. Stress comes from chasing things instead of allowing them to come to you.
You got to learn how to “let go” — what to let go and when to let go.
Mark Victor Hansen
My interview with Mark Victor Hansen, co-author of Chicken Soup of The Soul Series with over 140 million books sold worldwide:
Opportunities are created by you — there are opportunities in front of you every time so the problem here is actually not lack of them but not knowing how to open your eyes to ’see’ them. And even if it’s recession, it’s never been a better time to create your own opportunities. Use your creative mind to think of what opportunities can be created from the problems faced.
–
You might say this to me, “I already knew all of these, what I’ve read today”.
Don’t you think I know them as well? You see, that’s the biggest mistake we all have in our life when it comes to uncovering valuable wisdom – we let our Ego to take over on how we interpret what we’ve learned.
Let me just put it in this simple perspective…
If I didn’t have these priceless conversations with them, do you think I’ll wake up in the morning from my bed and suddenly go, “Oh, I know about this!”?
If you don’t read this blog today, do you think you would suddenly thought of all these valuable advice out of the blue? Perhaps, but most likely not. And that’s provided what you’ve read today is already known to you in the past.
Secondly, what do you do with what you’ve learned? Do you take them with you and think of how they can be applied into your life, right now?
Because of what I’ve learned from Bill Bartmann, I’m now involved with Forex trading and making good money from it today. And this is the opportunity which I’ve stayed away in the past because I thought I can’t do this, I don’t know how to trade. Today, I still don’t know how to trade but it doesn’t means that I cannot take advantage of this opportunity.
Right now, I’m spending more time pampering myself and also spend the time with my wife and baby because I know what my true happiness is after learning from Jim Britt. In the past, I would work a lot because I thought my business and money would bring the happiness – no, it’s the TIME that it creates that will bring happiness to me when I can ’spend’ it doing what I want.
Because of what Mark Victor Hansen told, I believe that my business in 2010 will probably be the BEST IN MY LIFETIME because I’ve build the confident level that recession is not going to affect me and there are so many opportunities right now.
I hope you get the point.
Listening from them is THE BEST WAY how I discover the secrets to success and make me excited to take action.
And I want you, hopefully, you would not take today’s lesson with a pinch of salt but truly appreciate these ’secrets’ because I want you to experience the same success I’ve gotten from this same source.
All the best,
Patric Chan
P.S: Can you imagine how your life will transform to be wealthier and happier if you were able to access the entire audio interview collection that I have with 5 of these great individuals and 3 MORE? Honestly, even if you will just get ONE IDEA from all of them, it would already worth everything. As part of the Success Trace Package that will be launched on the 9th February, I’ll be sharing the audio interviews I have with them, including additional mystery interviewees. Make sure you’re subscribed at the priority subscription page to be notified immediately when it’s launched at http://www.successtrace.com

The Secret Behind Second Income Streams
February 12, 2010 by admin · 1 Comment
Let me tell you this… if you’re just relying on one income stream to support your life, you’re risking everything you got today.
To clarify, second income stream could be from any source – internet, stocks, real estate, multi-level marketing and so on! But ironically, most people failed to have this kind of wonderful income stream into their life because they miss out this important part…
Mastering the concept of second income streams.
You see, I’ve discovered a secret about second income streams when I was having a conversation wth my student – she said she cannot have a second income stream because her ‘first’ income stream is not working yet. If you undertand how second income streams actually work, you can be financially wealthier than at your current level. In the past, I’ve recorded a video to share with my paid Success Trace members but I’m releasing it to you for free today:
If you like or find value in this short video, I’ll appreciate your comment below? I read every single one of them personally.
Thanks,
Patric
