Online Business – Veronica Tan

Story by Veronica Tan – Home Based Online Business

Hi, my name is Veronica Tan BK.  I would like to share my experiences on how I started out in the home based business doing internet marketing, affiliate marketing as well as network marketing and threw thousands of dollars down the drain because they all somehow did not work out for me. I was eyeing the top earners in the industry who were earning above $10,000 every single month.  How were they able to earn that sort of big money and here I was spending more than what I was earning every single month? This carried on until I realized that I was doing it all wrong.  I had the wrong mindset.  I was a college graduate.  I had a higher diploma.  I was doing well in my JOB.  I was heading a department of almost 200 employees.  I was being head hunted.  Why should I listen to the school dropouts?  What could I learn from them that I could not do on my own? Plenty as it were…  They were laughing all their way to the bank!  I was penniless!  Or almost on the verge of being so.  Being egoistic was not helping me.  In fact, it was slowly eating up my bank account, like an invisible monster.  I was already maxed out on most of my credit cards and bleeding pretty seriously. I had a wake up call one day when my ‘minimum payment’ cheque started to bounce.  I had to sit down and urgently decide what I was going to do to turn my life around. Either I stop messing around with the home based business and just concentrate on my JOB which included:-

• spending 60 – 80 hours in the office every single week,
• being at the beck & call of others,
• suffering the moods of the big bosses,
• listening to complaints every other day,
• having no time for myself, my family, let alone my friends,
• being constantly stressed by the various deadlines and
• being literally a ‘prisoner’ in my JOB

OR find a mentor(s) who can show me, guide me and lead me to the way of success! Around this time, I started reading the book “The Secrets Of The Millionaire Mind” by the best selling author T Harv Eker.  If you have not read the book yet, I would strongly encourage you to pick up a copy for yourself and start reading.  Also attended a seminar where T Harv Eker mentioned that “Every master was once a disaster”.  It was this quote that made me realize that I could still be successful!  I just had to change my paradigm. Plus the fact that Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad”, another ‘must read’ book, also believed in working to learn and not working for money.  Kiyosaki firmly advocated the fact that if you want to do something, you should find someone who has done it before and learn the tips of the trade from them. That got me to start searching for my mentors.  I knew I wanted to be financially free.  Passive residual income every month was what I seriously yearned for.  I also knew that I wanted the freedom of time to spend with my loved ones as well as those less fortunate.  Not forgetting to be able to travel around the world which has been my life-long passion. I realize that I have been able to be successful once I decided to ‘empty my cup’ and accept and follow the teachings of my mentors.  At the same time, success also came in a shorter frame of time due to leverage. Just a word of caution though.  During my journey to success, I have learnt 3 major lessons that I would like to share with you.

• Be focused
• Don’t quit
• Be coachable and take massive action
