Upon arrival, the Nexus Bangsar South car park seems to be full and luckily the guard ask me to park behind which is free of charge. As I arrived at the 3A floor, I saw many people around and quickly went to register myself as the below counter.
As for the next session about digital marketing from 5 speaker, personally I felt that everyone have their own way of doing their online marketing.
Just imagine the feeling to meet up some very old friend after almost 10 year past since I was 17 year old on our last meetup as it looks like a reunion gathering. Somehow I just curious about the reason he is interest in this type of event although he had graduated in the law course and working in the lawyer industry. Anyways, I just get a cup of Butterscotch Milk Tea for RM8+ at Chatime Nexus Bangsar South branch.
The taste is kinda nice but a bit too sweet as I didn't mention to reduce the sugar. The next session is the art of nurturing which related to mentorship sharing by Dato' Michael Tio, Dato' Billy Goh and Dato' CC Ngei.
I just know the first two Dato from social media and just got to know their background today by reading the leaflets we got from the recycle bag.
I guess Dato's Michael Tio really point out a few important point as below.
a) Give first before you take.
b) Meet up with mentor with already successful in their respective field.
c) Mentor is just a guidance and please respect their time.
However, it is kinda hard to practice "thou shall not jealous of other people success" because I felt that the main people change is due to jealously. Just imagine if I'm happy with doing data entry, then one day, someone told you that "Hey, do data entry where got future one, come do insurance lah, can easily more than RM10,000+ etc thingy" and suddenly you want to have a change due to jealously when you saw other people can drive BMW working in the insurance field. On the other hand, Dato's Michael Tio also point out an important point of finding people who is more successful than you to become your mentor. He stated that a people who earn RM1 million should find people who are earning RM10 million to be their mentor, RM10 million find RM100 million person and so on.
This somehow can relate to the "Do You Have Millionaire Mindset Or Millionaire Friends In Malaysia?" blog post which it stated clearly that...
i) If you hang around five confident people, you will be the sixth.
ii) If you hang around five intelligent people, you will be the sixth.
iii) If you hang around five millionaires, you will be the sixth.
iv) If you hang around five idiots, you will be the sixth.
v) If you hang around five broke people, you will be the sixth.
Hence, it might be true that the secret to become successful is to find mentor/people who are more successful than you as if you're earning RM3,000 now, find people who earn RM6,000+ or more to guide you. (Please unfriend / un-follow me now if you want to be successful cause I'm kinda broke)
Moreover, I felt that money will somehow affect your passion in someway but don't take me seriously since I'm not a successful person. During the lunch break, I was searching for food and just get to know the Korean BBQ San Nae Deul RM16 promotion is only applicable for weekday.
The Tenmaya Japanese restaurant is pricey while Edo Ichi Japanese restaurant is full of people. In the end, I skip my lunch while "settling some request outside" for a while. Upon back to the event, I manage to listen to the survivor story session by another 4 speaker at the last seat.
I just felt that the La Juiceria is targeting a higher income customer as I am not really willing to pay RM11 for a healthy juice since I'm in the low income earner as I had tried their cold pressed juice at their Nu Sentral branch back in 2015. However, her sharing is kinda good in term of finding what problem do you solve and the secret to obtain good lesson is to learn from people who have face failure and found a solution for it.
As for Sherlyn Tan from Twenty3 sharing, I just remember the first time I saw her is during Young Entrepreneur's Conference 2015 and don't really have a neutral comment.
Finally the long waited session has come where Mr Joel Neoh from Groupon Malaysia (previously) and he shared his entrepreneur journey in a story mode with a "Steve job outfit" in someway.
From his sharing, I guess he really know what he want to do since 20 year old as he telling his life story from young. Guess it has proven that he is deserved to be in "Top 10 Malaysia's Self Made Rich Young Millionaire (十大靠自己努力年轻的百萬富翁)" 2014 blog post that I wrote as he really a capable guy. Hence, I won't "jelly" about how/reason why he can get the funding for his new startup Kfit. The summary from his sharing is you just need to compare with yourself to be better than the person of you yesterday. During the last session of How to Get Funding, I didn't listen since I have something to rush on.
Overall it is a great experience from MEC 2016 event and over 3000+ people attending as it has been awarded as Malaysia Largest Entrepreneur Convention in The Malaysia Book of Records.
Over time, I still finding the reason / objective to continue blogging if it didn't bring in any benefits to me right? I just can keep on promoting the uberfood88 promo code in order to support my blog while continue my passion on blogging. Furthermore, one of the objective is to help jobless / retired people to make a living when old such as sharing on how to become Uber driver in someway. The reason to post those daily driver is just to create hope for them to find a part time job to support themselves before going into depression for facing stress in life due to financial problem.
Frankly speaking, I don't get any monetary rewards from Property Insight Malaysia for writing such a long blog post today and it has taken me up to 3 hour to complete at 2am Monday morning before starting to work my office job in a couple of hours. Seriously the reason why I don't feel like showing my own picture because I don't want it to affect my real life job if you get what I means. Before I end my blog post, feel free to watch Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford Commencement Address Youtube video as below.
I really like his quotes about "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life". Therefore I think the role of a mentor or entrepreneur is to inspire people. Stay positive.
