Fight Your Fear

Hey,

Do you know the reality of fear?

You are not afraid of dark, You are scared of what's in it

You are not afraid of height, You are afraid of falling.

You are not afraid of the people around you, You are afraid of rejection.

There's so many things that you afraid because your own mind created it for you. Look at the list above,
You already imagine that there will be something scary in the dark (what if there's a door that lead you to ultimate happiness?)
You already imagine that falling will be so much pain in your body, do you know that you can see the best scenery in the top of the mountain?
You already imagine that you will get rejected, do you know that maybe the person you will to talk actually your new business partner, or your future husband/wife, or future boss, or someone who will bring happiness to you?

Human always imagining about something and the sad truth is majority always imagine about negativity. You need to look for positivity, go forward and imagine something bright. When we were in the age of 4, we used to ask about many thing, we always curious, wanted to learn new thing, wanted to experience new thing, smile often, laugh a lot. Do you still the same like that nowadays? Many people already scared to do something new, they think about the consequences and I think that good but don't make it too long. Majority they think too long about new thing and BAM they never do it.

Some people afraid to open a new business or become an entrepreneur, they afraid that they will go bankrupt and fail. They see the negative things, why don't they think about what will happen if the business going so well and they can become rich with the business? The positive things. Am I right?

Even his business has not been opened yet but they already think about getting bankrupt, it's ridiculous. How you can make a business if the first thing you talk about is "what if the business bankrupt?" not "How we make this business make profit?" 


Some people afraid to face a new challenge or getting out from their comfort zone, they already imagine what if the new place is not the place for me, what if the new place or the new career is not the one for me, how do you know that if you are not in that place? Why don't you think more positive like "what if the new place can make me achieve my dream, what if the new place or career can make me become the top person in the company" always imagine the positive things.


Think more positive with a lot of situation, you can be more aware and calculated the opportunity but don't make it toooooo damn long that will make your competitor take the opportunity from you and you only regret it because you only think and do nothing with the action.


In this dynamic world, all the people have the same opportunity and the same resources plus the same amount of time, so the one who can react fast is the winner. -Emir Zakiar

Entrepreneur Mindset

Hey,

Do you know that mindset is the greatest thing that you need to have in order to achieve everything. Skill, education, networking, can not be effectively used if you don't have the right mindset. If your mindset say that you can do it then you can do it!!

Many people want to be a businessman, business owner, entrepreneur, you name it. But the sad thing is not every person have the balls to achieve it. I've seen many people talking about how they really want to have their business but do NOTHING. They only dream and keep dreaming about their dream. You can say they are the people who NATO (No Action Talk Only).

As a person who want to build their business empire, the most important thing you can do is change the way you think. Of course education, skill and money are important in determining who will become an entrepreneur, but these factors are by no means the only criteria.

Thousands of businesses get started and then fail every year. These business owners have the education, skills and money needed in order to succeed; yet they don’t. What they lack is the proper mindset.

One key trait of a successful entrepreneur is Confidence. They have confidence in themselves and in their ability to overcome any adversity. No one ever said that starting a business, online or off, was easy. It's so damn hard hehehe. The exact opposite is true. Starting a business can be one of the most difficult and trying times of your life. You need a great confidence in yourself. and your business If you don't trust yourself then who will gonna trust your business.

Successful entrepreneurs also have The ability to see business opportunities in unlikely places. The only way you can develop this trait is by getting into difficult situations, experiencing failure, then learn from and overcome that failure. Unlike the rest of the world, an entrepreneur will persist despite the obstacles in their path. Not only will they strategize alternative solutions to problems but they will also take action toward that end. Replacing hesitation with action is what will get desired results. They don't whining if the path to success block them, they just make another path, because they have a vision that take them to their dream.

The last quality that sets the successful entrepreneur apart from other people is that They embrace new opportunities and are not afraid to step outside their comfort zone. They confront the unknown head-on and use unfamiliar or uncomfortable tasks as learning tools. Once mastered, these undertakings become valuable weapons in their ever-expanding entrepreneurial arsenal.

The capacity to master these skills lies dormant in everyone. With a focused vision of your desired goals, a belief in your ability to overcome any challenge and a positive attitude, you are much more likely to achieve success as an entrepreneur.

According to Donald trump only 1 to 2 percent of us is capable of being an entrepreneur, why don't you become the 2 percent?

Have a Great Day

Hard Time are Like a Washing Machine

Hey,

I found this great insight, really wonderful and really motivated me. Believe me that good time will come after bad time. The thing is not how we go through the rain but how we dance in the rain.

"Hard time are like a washing machine.
they twist, turns and knock us around.
but in the end
we come out cleaner, brighter, better than before"

Love Yourself

 Hey,

 Do you know that You are powerful when you believe in yourself? You are beautiful when your strength and determination shines as you follow your own path – when you aren’t disheveled by the obstacles along the way.  You are unstoppable when you let your mistakes educate you, as your confidence builds from experiences – when you know you can fall down, pick yourself up, and move forward. If you don't love yourself, how you expect anyone else to love you? Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter.

You need to be the person that you love, You can love someone else with all of your heart but I know there's someone out there that actually kinda don't love him or herself. Are you one of them?

You need to stop judging and begin to appreciate the beauty within you, stop thinking that you are worthless and can do anything. You need to learn to walk a lifetime comfortably in your own. In every people's life there's beauty, love, and wisdom.  In every human being there is a soul, there is life, there is worth, and there is the ability to see all these things in everyone, including one’s self.

You can love yourself if You treat yourself the way you want others to treat you. Be you, just the way you are, in the beautiful way only you know how.  The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others.  You must love who you are or no one else will either.  And when you are truly comfortable in your own skin, not everyone will like you, but you won’t care about it one bit.

You need to know your strong point, it can be anything. Let say you are one of this list, a caring person, a lovable person, a person with great communication skill, a person with a lot of friend, a person with happy family, a person with great career, a person with positive mind, or a person who like to smile. You can see and know what your strong point is, it can be your skill, attitude, passion, anything. dig deeper and you will find the amazing strength that you have.

Focus on the positive. Do not let the pain make you hopeless.  Do not let the negativity wear off on you.  Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness.  Even though others may disagree with you, take pride in the fact that you still know the world is a beautiful place.  Change your thoughts and you change your reality.  Our thoughts are the makers of our moods, the inventors of our dreams, and the creators of our will.  That is why we must sort through them carefully, and choose to respond only to those that will help us build the life we want, and the outlook we want to hold as we’re living it.

Work on goals you believe in. Never put off or give up on a goal that’s important to you.  Not because you still have tomorrow to start or try again, but because you may not have tomorrow at all.  Life is shorter than it sometimes seems.  Follow your heart today.

Keep looking and moving straight forward. – Moving on doesn’t mean you have forgotten; it means you have accepted what happened in the past and choose to continue living in the present.  Moving on doesn’t mean you’re giving up; it means you’re giving yourself another chance by making a choice to be happy rather than hurt.  Through all the problems you have faced, the burdens weighing down on your shoulders, the pain in your heart, you have only one thing to say, “I survived and I now know better for next time.”

So, Start enjoying your life, go out see the beauty that the world will give you, have some fun, take a challenge, find a lover, get a pet, eat delicious food, make a lot of friends, keep in touch with others, have a conversation, exercise, laugh a lot, and many other exiting things. Sometimes you have to stop worrying, wondering, and doubting.  Have faith that things will work out, maybe not exactly how you planned, but just how it’s meant to be.

Have a Magnificent Day

Believe in Your Self

Hey,

Do you believe in your self?

Do you believe that you can be what you're dreaming? Do you believe that you have the skill to achieve your dream? do you believe that you have the network to achieve your dream? do you believe that you have a friends, family, lover, acquittance, and partner to get you through your dream?

if no then you have a problem here. How can you get what you're dreaming on when you don' have faith in your self? You live in this world to become a great person not just an average person, if you can't be a great person for a lot of people then be a great person for one people. You can be a great person for your love one, you can be a great person for your family, you can be a great person for your son or daughter.

all you need is some faith in believing that you can do it, believe in your self that you're great.  I have a friend that believe in himself that he can be an entrepreneur in agricultural business. He don't have the money to get it at first, but he believed that he had the skill and network to get his dream. at first he was planting his product in rural area in Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia. He don't have the money, so he negotiated with the landowner, the term was he can used the land to plant cassava and he was the one who responsible for the system, seeds, cultivating, and sell the product to the market. He got 50%  of the income and the landowner also got 50% of the income.

He worked so hard because he know what's his dream and he believe in himself. You know what, now he is the owner of 300 hectare cassava plantation in west Java and he make a plan to expand the land for plantation to achieve 2500 hectare in the end of 2012. He's rich now and he do what he love.

You can do it also, let's take a silent moment, imagining what your dream. put a deadline, let say 10 years from now I will have 15 restaurant in my city with profit exceed more than 100% of the cost. I will live in a big house with happy family, I will have a car of my dream ( picture it), I can go to many different countries, and I am a great person.

The list before is an example, you can make your own list and your own dream but you need to be precise with it. imagine the feel, the sound, the smell of your victorious life. Believe in your self, if you don't believe in your self then who gonna believe in you?

Live not only Exist

 Hey,

Do you know what's your purpose in life? Do you feel that you only exist in this world but not exactly live? remember The proper function of people is to live, not to exist.

You need to be something in this world, you need to fulfill your dream, you need to help others, you are you and you are unique, no one can tell you that you are worthless because you are worth it in this world.

Those who want to break free from the mold and truly live more of their life – to experience it and enjoy it to the fullest, instead of settling for a mere existence can try some of this way that I usually do:

Ignore other people negativity,  there's no use to listen to other people negativity. It like they actually know your capability right? If you allow people to make more withdrawals than deposits in your life, you will be out of balance and in the negative before you know it.  Ignore unconstructive, hurtful commentary.  No one has the right to judge you. They may have heard your stories, but they didn’t feel what you were going through.  You do not have control over what others say; but you do have control over whether or not you allow them to say these things to you. It' Your life anyway.

Be who you really are, If you’re lucky enough to have something that makes you different from everybody else, don’t change.  Uniqueness is priceless.  In this crazy world that’s trying to make you like everyone else, find the courage to keep being your awesome self. And when they laugh at you for being different, laugh back at them for being the same.  It takes a lot of courage to stand alone, but it’s worth it.  Being YOU is worth it!

Love Yourself,  If you can love children, in spite of the messes they make; your mother, in spite of her tendency to nag; your father, even though he’s too opinionated; your sibling, even though she’s always late; your friend, even though he often forgets to return what he borrows, then you know how to love imperfect people, and can surely love yourself.

Do Things that your future self will thank you to yourself today, What you do every day matters more than what you do every once in a while.  What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.  Make sure it’s worthwhile.

Have Fun, Sometimes you need to take a few steps back to see things clearly.  Never let your life become so filled with work, your mind become so crammed with worry, or your heart become so jammed with old hurts or anger, that there’s no room left in them for fun, for awe, or for joy.

Don't get drowned by the Past, Don’t let the past steal your present and future from you.  You might not be proud of all the things you’ve done in the past, but that’s okay.  The past is not today.  The past cannot be changed, forgotten, or erased.  It can only be accepted.  We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past.  But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future.

Grateful with You have Today, you can see there's a lot of people not lucky as you are. I assume that you read it from internet connection by pc, laptop, blackberry, ipad, or any kind of device. There's a lot of people out there who can not afford to have an internet connection. If you are living under the roof then you are richer than 78% people in the world, if you can have a proper meal then you are richer than 84% people in the world. If you have a lot of friends or let say just a few friends but really loyal to you then you are lucky enough, because there's a lot of people actually feel so lonely and wanted to kill his or her life.
See every little things that can make you grateful, let say you don't have anything, but you can see and read this blog. There's a lot of people who can read and there's a lot of people who can not see because they are blind. Grateful with you have today and you will be grateful with you will have in the future.

Have a Lively Life

Sell Something

Hey,

Nowadays, a lot of people complaining about their income that don't go along with their increasing of expenses, expenses that they spend to life usually getting higher than income. Are one of those people? 

 If no then congratulation, you are one of the 8% people in this world that actually enjoying their life. If not, then you got a problem here.

What will you do to overcome this? From my observation, a lot of people only complaining and complaining about how sucks their life be if the expense will go up and blaming to someone else, it can be the government, parents, family, lifestyle, kids, anything. I want you to think that it actually YOU who can change it.
Rather to think that the price will raise and you will have a hard time to saving more money because your income not increase, You can think how can I increase my income.

You can increasing your income by become a trader, merchant, businessman, for instance, You can be someone who sell something to somebody. You don't need to leave your current job to become a merchant, you can start by selling to your acquittance in your office, for example you can sell bag, shoes, food, apparel, jewelry, hat, jacket, drink, anything. The best part you can have it without spend a single dime for the capital. You can ask about the capital things by comment in this blog.

I have a new business partnering with my lovely wife, we are selling woman's bag. She's the one who choose the model and calculating the price, let say she's the active one and I am the passive one. The business is starting today and You can order it too hehehe.

Whatever it is you doubt you can do, begin to do it and watch the doubt quickly dissolve into meaningless as your action take over. Start selling something and watch the passive income cover your expenses.

Winner

 Hey,

In this couple of weeks I had some of new project with my business. One of the business is a big shot, it's like you're a fisherman who always get a Tuna but suddenly you can get a whale. I was trying and working so hard to get this project done. And you know, I loss the project. It's a big blow for me because I already imagining the result and the profit that I can get if I get the project hahaha such a loser. (it's good sometimes to laugh at yourselves)

If I was still the "past Emir" I would be mourning all day and blame someone for the lost project, but I am the "new Emir" now. instead of sulking, I was thinking what is the reason I lost the project, suddenly I learn new things from it and start to search for another opportunity. You know what, the next day I get a new opportunity, new project, and it's pumping my spirit. That's what I called spirit of a Winner.

A lot of people blaming someone or something when they loss, they begin to depress and sad with the losses. I don't say that you can not feel sad with it, you can but never make the sadness overwhelmed your spirit to be success. keep the spirit of a winner deep inside your mind and your heart.

You are not a looser when you lost, you are a loser when you quit trying.

You can read are you a loser or a winner in here


The past can hurt, but the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.

Winners vs Losers

 Hey,

We all want to be winners.  We all want to succeed.  So why then do so many of us struggle indefinitely and come up short?  It has something to do with how we think, what we focus on, and how we live each moment.

Do you know that there's a pattern that always show to determine whether you are a loser or a winner:

1. Losers fail once and quit.  Winners fail a thousand times and eventually succeed.
2. Losers look for success at the finish line.  Winners experience success along the way.
3. Losers work to make money.  Winners work to make a difference.
4. Losers buy things.  Winners build things.
5. Losers see things they don’t understand and get discouraged.  Winners see things they don’t understand and get curious.
6. Losers talk.  Winners communicate.
7. Losers seek respect.  Winners earn respect.
8. Losers stare at the problem.  Winners look around for the solution.
9. Losers are paid for their time.  Winners are paid for their results.
10. Losers want to get ahead of others.  Winners help others get ahead too.
11. Losers let things happen.  Winners make things happen.
12. Losers escape fears.  Winners face fears. (This is the hardest one but trust me the outcome is magnificent).
13. Losers think winners are lucky.  Winners realize the harder they work the luckier they are.
14. Losers frown.  Winners smile.
15. Losers always complain about how hard life is. Winners always be grateful with all they have.
16. Losers hangout with losers.  Winners hangout with winners who are more successful than they are (this is the law, if you want to be fly as high as an eagle, play with eagle not with chicken).

Take a little time to determine which one are you, be a Winner and feel the spirit come within you. There are some of the differences between winners and losers, which one are you?
(If you have another list to put in here, let me know)

Have a Great Day and don't forget to Smile : )

Comfortable Person

Hey,

Have you ever feel so uncomfortable in an environment whether in a meeting, event, cafe, classroom,  or when hanging with bunch of your friend? It felt sucks right? You feel like you're out of their conversation, you also feel the urge to get out of there as soon as possible. It's like you are the water and the rest are the oil, all of you just can't blend with each others.

Let me change the scenario, have you ever think that your presence in a conversation or in an event actually make someone feel uncomfortable?

Hmmmm never wondering about that have you?

Yesterday I took one of public transportation in my country, it called "angkot" it's like a minivan but hmmm let's say not in a proper condition. Really dirty and I think that kind of public transportation need to go to recycling center so it can be a tuna can.
I sit in the front chair beside the driver, it already night and the clock point at 20.30 PM, so it's a common that a lot of people already tired because of all the activity that they do. I was enjoying the ride and suddenly the driver cursing another car because that car cut his road but I believe that car already give a sign. I set aside that curse even though I already feel a little uncomfortable in there. Five another minutes, He started curse another car again and you bet for the rest of the journey He always cursing and cursing to the point that I can't take it any longer. I felt so uncomfortable in there and wanted to punch His face so bad. I asked him to pull over, after I pay, I began to do some inhale exhale kind of thing and make a mental note to myself I don't want that situation make me feel unhappy and finish it with smile. It worked and I don't feel uncomfortable anymore.

I want to point out that You have to think about everyone around you while you do something in your life. Are You a person who always cynical toward others?
Are You a person who don't have a sense of humor?
Are You always serious? From Joker point of view "Why So Serious?"
Are You a boring person?
Are You a person who always insult others?
Are You a person who don't like if someone talk to You?
and more "Are You a person ........?"

Try to make a list about situation that make you uncomfortable, write it, and imagine it, what if you are the person who actually make someone uncomfortable around you??

From the list You can find exactly what's the reason you feel uncomfortable in a situation, it can be the event is boring, the person is boring, the person always talk about someone else behind their back, anything. After that You can make a better situation with the list;

I want to be surrounded by a positive environment,
I want to have a light chit chat after a harsh day at work,
I want to have a comfortable conversation without offending someone else,
(fill the list in here with something in your mind)

Try it and do it so You will be a comfortable person that anybody want to talk and hang around.

Have a Comfortable Day

Thoughts

Hey,

Just some thought of My thoughts;

1. If you are not happy, it’s time to change something.
2. If you dress a certain way, people will treat you a certain way.
3. If you aren’t in love, don’t settle.
4. If you never try something new, your life’s story will be boring.
5. If you don’t Dream, you will live solely as an entity of someone else’s dreams.
6. If you don’t learn from your Failure, you probably aren’t learning much at all.
7. If you don't Grateful there's something wrong with you do.
8. If you talk too much, people will stop listening.  If you don’t talk enough, people will never hear your point of view.
9. If you do not take ownership of your actions, your actions will eventually own you.
10. If you can't make a good communication with someone else then you need to change.
11. If you never stare off into the distance, you’ll never get there.
12. If you are ever confused, don’t be afraid to ask questions.
