Mastermind with Gobala Krishnan

Our first mastermind session for 2010, same place @ Starbucks Jaya One. Saw some regular faces and new ones as well.

Met up with Kevin and Stanley (Kuala Lumpur Real Estate), Adam (our internship student), Bob (Microg2) and Fariq Hamdan (Forex Review).

Since I am launching a new link tracking and cloaking software in July, I also gave a free lifetime account to everyone to test it out. The idea seems to be very popular with everyone, and I’m sure it’s going to be explosive when it launches.

My KL Marathon 10km Medal

Early this year, I could barely make it up two flight of stairs to my office without panting heavily.  I was in the worst shape of my life, thanks to many years of not exercising, eating out, and working like a freak.

That’s why today when I ran the 10km race at Standard Chartered KL Marathon and finished at 1:25 I felt a real sense of accomplishment. I had about two months of no-so-desciplined training, and frankly I was just hoping to finish the race without collapsing.

Yeayyyy… I have a medal now.

I do feel much better nowadays. I can work longer and more focused, and I feel less tired. I think, I’m going to make my thirties (and way till past 40) the fittest years of my life.

Crazy Affiliate Marketing Software

Do you want to make money from affiliate marketing, without a website, list, money or even Google?

Then I strongly recommend that you head on to LinkTrackr.com and register for my pre-launch list. In July 2010, I will launch a brand new, crazy affiliate marketing software that will change the world forever.

As you may have guessed from it’s name, it’s an affiliate link tracking and link cloaking software. But it does much, much more than just help you manage your affiliate link – it actually helps you make more money from affiliate programs with little or no effort on your part.

Here’s a teaser screenshot:

I have to warn you that only 2,000 active accounts will be available at any time for this software. If you’re late, you’re going to lose out big time.

Stay in Your Comfort Zone and Die

Do things seem to be going very well for you? Have you mastered everything there is to master that you can now do it with your eyes closed? Are you comfortable with what you’re doing, and satisfied with your progress?

News flash: You’ve been lingering in your comfort zone for too long.

In life you’re either moving forward, or you’re slipping back. There is no such thing as staying still.

Comfort zones are just an illusion of control, when the reality is that you will never really be in control. The longer you delude yourself, the harder you fall and the longer it will take for you to catch up.

In Internet marketing at least, you always have to learn new skills, new tools, and new concepts.

Take the last year for example, I had to learn all these things from scratch:

  • How to create a WordPress plugin
  • How to setup WHM and cPanel
  • How to use iPay88
  • How to use Amazon S3 and AWS
  • Everything about cloud hosting
  • How to create a web application
  • How to use jQuery functions
  • How to use WHMCS and setup a web hosting business
  • How to record and sell PLR videos
  • How to sell on stage
  • How to conduct a hands-on workshop
  • How to sell websites online
  • How to interview and recruit people
  • Managing a small company and office
  • Etc etc

Each and every one of those things were uncomfortable to deal with. I had to set aside a lot of time to learn the jargon, and a lot of money to test out a few ideas. It was definitely not in my comfort zone.

This year, I’m doing something even more extreme.

I’m attending Affiliate Summit East 2010 in New York, in August this year. I know nobody there, it will cost me a bomb, and it will suck up a lot of my time. But I have to do this if I want to tap into a different crowd, get JV partners in the future, and expand my business.

I know from previous experience that you need to keep moving forward.

I have been too complacent in the past two years, and I can feel the effects right now – lack of exposure, fewer contacts, lack of growth, and over-dependence on the same group of people to promote my products.

I was slipping back, and never realized it. I was comfortable, content, and enjoying the good life. When it hit me though, I realized that catching up is much more difficult than keeping up.

Ask yourself: Are you comfortable with your online business?

If you are, it’s time to start worrying.
