Friend, we need to talk..

This is serious and I thought I'll write to
you personally about this.

Okay, I'm feeling really nervous about this
right now but I have to make a confession
to you.

***"Okay here goes nothing!"***

==============================================
HERE'S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW ABOUT ME :
==============================================

Late 2006 : I met with an accident.

I could not walk and I was on crutches for
a good 3 months.

In that time, I could not go to work to make
some money for myself, I could not go out to
enjoy myself and I basically could not do
anything but sit on my butt!

That was when I decided to make money through
the internet.

I thought it was going to be easy..

Boy was I wrong!

***I made $23.75 in my first 2 years online***

It's not something I'm proud about but it's
something you need to know because I did
something fundamentally wrong :

I ONLY pursued the money.

TIP #1 :

***DON'T PURSUE THE MONEY. PURSUE YOUR PASSION AND THE MONEY.***

And everything just didn't work out!

So, when I had the idea of starting a blog
about the Law of Attraction, you can imagine
how skeptical I was.

I had just gone through the worst online
marketing experience ever - trust me, I've
not heard of a worst story but luckily, it
does have a happy ending.

I started the blog, got some readers, then
built a community of people I can help and
was doing everything for free.

I loved what I did but after a while the
website following grew out of proportion
and I found myself feeling EXHAUSTED and
BROKE.

TIP #2 :

***GIVING IS GREAT, BUT GIVING AND NOT RECEIVING IS BAD***

Here's the thing, Friend.

You can only give to the extent that you have,
and what you have is determined by how well
you receive.

I thought I was doing others a service by
helping them for free but I was doing them
and myself a disservice because by this
time, I fell sick very often due to late nights
working! (even though I was passionate about it!)

Then, I realized that I needed to start charging
for my services because they're worth a lot!

I set a goal of hitting my first $10,000 and
with that, I started a program called the
Inspired Action Coaching Program.

I launched it in June 2008 and it was a
very successful $10,149 launch for me!

I WAS ECSTATIC!

I (thought) I had finally did it!
This was the turning point in my life!

UNTIL....

Now here's my confession..

***THE CONFESSION***

Before I tell you this, you have to promise me
to love me as you loved me before and no less,
okay! Haha!

Okay, but seriously, all my marketing friends
told me that I must not do this..

That it will hurt my reputation and that I
should hide this from you..

I said,"No way! Friend needs to know this!"

I'm a really honest person and I have to tell
you this, Friend...

I STOPPED The Inspired Action Coaching Program...
and I had to return every single cent my clients
had paid me.

You're probably asking yourself WHY?

Here's why :

1) I was still serving my National Service then and
I would write up my reports and do my coaching
calls into the wee hours of the morning.

2) I fell sick all the time because of it.

3) I was really starting to break down inside and
I could feel my passion for this dying and dying
fast.

4) I was becoming increasingly inefficient in
delivering the value I promised my clients.

In other words, it was killing me and my career softly.

So, I decided to let all my lovely clients know
that I'm sorry (it was a really painful process)
and that I'd return all their money back.

You're probably thinking, "That's stupid! Saiful
should have just persevered abit more!"

But I could have lost myself in that, which leads
me to Tip #3 :

***DON'T LOSE SIGHT OF WHO YOU ARE WHEN YOU HAVE MORE MONEY***

So, there you go, that's my confession :

I did not actually attract $10,092 from that launch.

And that experience has traumatized me.

Which is why I have so much more resistance to allowing
money into my life now thAn I did a year ago.

But I learnt something more important :

***I AM ABLE TO MARKET EFFECTIVELY TO MAKE A $10,092 LAUNCH HAPPEN.***

***PEOPLE WOULD PAY ME BIG MONEY BECAUSE I AM A PERSON OF VALUE.***

And that's why I'm writing this to you right now.

Today, I just finished talking to another millionaire, Noah St John.

Again, why would millionaires talk to me?

***BECAUSE I'M A PERSON OF VALUE.***

And more importantly...

***I AM DEVOTING MYSELF TO A PURPOSE HIGHER THAN MYSELF.***

I hope you've learnt something from this e-mail my friend.

I just wanted to reveal all to you and make sure that you
understand what kind of person I am and it's also a form
of me releasing and forgiving myself from this experience..

(This e-mail is going out to 1400 people! Can you imagine
the amount of courage I had to admit to you that I FAILED
BIG TIME and that I'm not such a huge success as some may
think.)

But Noah taught me something today, and I thought I'd put
it into action. He told me to forgive my past and...

I'm forgiving my past right now...

Friend...

I LOVE YOU.

I'M SORRY.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME.

THANK YOU.

Always Say ICAN!

SaiF

P.S. Noah said something really paradigm-shifting that will
give you one of the most fulfilling days of your life :

Listen to that, my friend.

Forgive your past, Friend! It feels GREAT!
