My Milestones for 2009

In a few days more, it will be year 2009. In the meantime, I would like to believe that I am busy at drafting and outlining what I will do for the rest of 2009. Make no mistake that I will be busy doing mistakes and making mistakes, that’s for sure. For what I know, mistakes are good. Mistakes are the indication of my path towards my dreams. If I never commit to any mistake, then probably I am not doing anything at all.

The main problem is, would I commit the mistake twice? Okay, that hit my thick skull with a bang! How can I make sure myself will not do the mistake twice? It’s a question that yet for me to ascertain, indeed.

For whatever it is, year 2009 will mean a lot for me. I grew quite a bit since I got back from the States in the past 3 years. This time, I am sure the future demands me to be more decisive and courageous.

Yes, I put a personal dateline for myself to hit my target – a millionaire by 35. I have also mapped my career and business venture inline to that financial goal. At this moment, I have nothing in my coffer except some ideas of how to reach that goal. Whether it works or not, I don’t know for real until I commit some actions upon that goal.

Linda (my upline) sent me an inspiring sms in 2007 (which I still keep it till this day). It says, “Great ideas, great goals and great intentions are meaningless without great actions. People achieve success in life not just because they take charge of their thinking, but because their thinking propels them into taking action”.

True to its very word – success requires more than just some plan or some ideas. It relies heavily on the action for one to achieve something.

So here I record my goals for year 2009.

  1. Keep my financial ledger in order, clear any outstanding debt and increase my annual income by 50%.

  2. Applying for pre-seed grant to establish a company which focuses on IT for agriculture. I am partnering with my old school friend for this matter. We are looking to secure RM 150,000 to fund our first prototype. We are in the midst of preparing the application documents and doing some research to complete the business plan. Thus, the plan is to submit the completed documents by March 2009. The company will most probably commence its operation (pending to approval) in September 2009.

  3. Establish a company to deal in agriculture – we become entrepreneur in growing domestic vegetables and tropical fruit to cope with local market demand. This I share with six other investors. We aim to accumulate a minimum of RM 100,000 of cash saving by the second year of the establishment. This will be the seed money for next agriculture venture for export to international market. Dateline for establishing this small enterprise will be in May 2009.

  4. My promotion to Agency Manager by June 2009. Therefore I need to raise a total group sale of RM 2,000,000 by May next year (I kowtim already for personal total sales, it is in excess of RM 650,000 now). I am also recruiting more talented and independent business associates into my business group. I figure out to have a total of 30 new business associates.

  5. I qualify myself for incentive trip to Seoul, South Korea by June 2009. Speaking of the trip, I will be retreating to Bandung/Jakarta for holiday somewhere in June as well, yeayyy (at Public Mutual’s expenses)!!

  6. Start getting serious in personal relationship. Oh yeah, I know it’s very touchy issue here. I am planning to get married by 2010. Being married at the age of 30 seems a good year for me. Seriously!

  7. Sending my parents to the pilgrimage in Makkah by the end of the year.

  8. Locking my time of 4 hours a week to teach free tuition in Modern/Additional Mathematic, Physic and Chemistry for SPM candidates at an orphanage house in Hulu Klang.

  9. Bring down my weight to 70 kg. Need to do this for health and fitness reason (padahal nak fit sket main golf 18 hole). Dateline June 2009.

  10. Get an iron set of Taylormade Burner xD with Taylormade Burner 3 & 5 fairway woods by March 2009. Wohohohoo!!!!

Oh Lord, please help me to achieve these goals successfully! Good bye 2008. Welcome 2009.
