1. What do musicians and athletes do that others don’t?
Answer: They show up. They practice and practice and then practice some more. That’s why they do so well in whatever career they choose - even if it’s not sports or music.
2. What’s the most powerful force in the universe?
Answer: Compound interest. It builds on itself over time. A small amount of money becomes a large amount of money. Persistence is similar. A little bit improves performance, which encourages greater persistence, which improves performance even more. And on and on.
Take some time to mull this 2 questions and the answers.

I was reminded of this yet again when I attended Joel Christopher’s MasterList Builder Funshop over the weekend.
Let me ask you, if you see an opportunity in front of you, if you have a fabulous business idea, would you jump at the opportunity and work quickly towards it?
Yet, the truth is that many people take their own sweet time to chase after success!
- “The product is not ready!”
- “I’m not ready.”
- “Can this work?”
A series of questions and self-doubt cropped up that choke the budding seed.
Do we know whether it will work? No one can be 100% certain. But what I know is that just doing it, just getting into action, is already half the battle won.
What we need to do is to adjust our sails in sight of our ultimate goal as we plunge in to the sea of possibilities.
A friend of mine, Linda Tan, will be attempting to reach the top of the world i.e. Mount Everest next month. When she succeeds, she will be the first Singaporean woman to reach the top of Mount Everest.
How many times do we focus on the negativities in our lives or the seemingly impossible mountains to conquer?
DON’T!
Choose instead to put your attention on the traits, strengths, and virtues that allow you to believe you can - and deserve to be - rich.
