Happy New Year!

It’s great to celebrate the start of a new decade with you.

Remember that people always over estimate what they achieve in the short term and under estimate what they can achieve in the long term.

Each year brings a fresh approach as new opportunities emerge from the lessons of the past.

There seems to be an obligation to make resolutions each year without any real commitment to achieving them.

As long as you tick the box, you can enter the new year. Don’t buy it.

It’s better to discover the best version of you than measure yourself against a standard that doesn’t serve you.

Growth occurs when you stretch beyond your comfort zone.

It’s said that a mind once stretched, never regains its original dimensions.

That’s because you were designed to shape your life.

The constant contrasts of wins and challenges crafts a character and soul that synergizes your inner beliefs with your outer expectations.

What do you really want?

It’s probably one of the most confronting questions you’ll ever answer but the sooner you gain clarity around the question, the more aligned your actions will be to achieve your desired outcome.

With the recent devastation of widespread flooding in our community, I’ve been asking my top clients this question:

“If You Lost Everything But Had Your Current Knowledge, Experience And Contacts And Were Given $10,000…How Would You Start Again?”

How would you answer that question?

(Please send me a private message if you have time and I’ll make sure I send you a special short recording to reward you for your efforts)

For me, I would help speakers, coaches and seminar leaders to develop innovative programs and support for their members and work on a “performance plus” arrangement.

I love seminars because it gives you the opportunity to discover new strategies, meet new people and share the experience of personal transformation.

Sure you can read books, listen to audios and watch videos online however, the problem is that you are learning the content through your “own” filters which is one dimensional.

Perspective gives you “fresh eyes” to see beyond the trees and marvel at the forest that surrounds you.

The multi-dimensional shift you experience from live trainings and events cannot be duplicated.

It’s a mixture of the people, the energy in the room and the execution of the program to ensure the environment is engineered for personal change.

You never know who you are going to meet at these events and I know people have done more deals and started their new careers from the “back of the room.”

The biggest lesson I learnt last year was during the mastermind tour. I got an insight into Napolean Hill’s greatest business concept for entrepreneurs with the mastermind group.

Mastermind is a great currency that transfers ideas from great minds. In fact, I often call these meetings as the “league of extraordinary minds”.

I hope we get a chance to meet you this year as I’m committed to expanding the Mastermind program through Pow Wow Events this year.

In the meantime, I encourage you to do one important exercise that I have done so far this year and have found it to be very powerful.

Get a plain sheet of paper and write down your top 10 major achievements of 2010. Then write down your 5 most important goals this year and prioritize them.

Under each of those goals, write down the reasons why achieving this goal is important to you.

This is very important. Your “why’s” drive the what and how’s.

Thank you for your support again, it’s much appreciated.

Remember, nothing is missing…success is creating opportunities for others.

Live Your Legacy,

CHEN

P.S If you enjoy these posts, make sure you post your comments. If you are new, you can also view some of my past issues on http://www.chentay.com

P.P.S If you have any topics you would like me to discuss, please private message me directly. Thanks again for your support.

I’ve had many people ask me what’s happened with Conversations with Chen. As I told members last year, CWC will be monthly now.

I am working on a “paid” weekly version and that will be released next month. So the next issue of CWC will be 30th January 2011.

In the meantime, I wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to the people affected by floods.

I must admit, I was paralyzed to the “news” on tv and couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

The scale of devastation and tragedy of lives lost will make this disaster a permanent chapter in our nation’s history.

I’ve been asked by people affected by the QLD floods for my advice and have tried to help where I could.

We can all do something. And I encourage you to “do something” because it’s going to take a massive effort to rebuild again.

Last year, I did a video training with Brendon Burchard and he spoke about managing a crisis.

I want to share my notes with you because I have used the “lessons” to refocus my life. Enjoy!

*When the world goes into chaos – get yourself centered
*People let chaos drive their emotional energy – stay focused
*We all have a gift to help others
*The world needs you “being guided”
*People need your PRESENCE
*Be accountable to people around you
*In giving, we receive
*The world wants more of you
*Are you fully alive?
*The gift of presence is more powerful than the place you are in
*How present can you be in every single moment
*Don’t leave them wondering, let them know
*Forgiveness and letting go is the higher path of living (“grace”)
*To live in past events is cheating you of life

I hope you learnt something from the notes above. I know it has allowed me to become a better leader, be more present and be more willing to share my gifts with others.

It doesn’t matter where you are in life, it’s about asking better questions. And two questions that many people often ignore are:
What do I want?
Who do I love?

When you get the “big rocks” in your life sorted, the pebbles (people) and sand (problems) are solved with water (solutions).

The more thinking time you spend on these questions, the more clarity you will develop.

Nothing is missing…in every adversity, there are great opportunities to serve.

I hope you had a great Christmas celebrations with your family and friends. I always love the morning whispers of joy and excitement as the kids wake up and discover the surprises in their Santa sacks.

Beyond happiness, there is joy. And whether you are a child or big child at heart, the feeling of joy is always amazing. Joy is internal. It comes from within and is the true expression of the alignment of your heart and mind.

With the year coming to an end, it’s important to reflect on what you have achieved and learnt this year.

If you uncover the major breakthroughs and lessons, you are one step closer to achieving your goals.

Plus, you will create a strong foundation for the new year and beyond.

I am a serious lifetime student and this has allowed me to establish an unique perspective in this industry.

I’ve had several leaders leave amazing messages of how I contributed to their businesses and lives and it’s very humbling.

So today, I want to share some of these lessons with you. Here’s my gifts of lessons learned this year:

* You cannot inspire people based on negative energy in any form (hate, revenge, jealousy etc)

* You cannot give what you don’t have

* Always go back to the original communication when there’s a misunderstanding or disagreement

* Greed kills all partnerships…eventually.

* Discover your message, develop your voice and leverage your strengths

What are your biggest lessons learned? What lesson would you love to share with people. Please take the time and share them with me. Please send me a private message.

When you set new goals in 2011, do something different. Unless of course, you have found a system that works.

If you haven’t, I would focus on 1 – 3 major goals. I have had to narrow my focus due to my new role and goals. And I have found that the more you focus, the more you can accomplish.

I am grateful for the opportunity and excited to harvest from the great seeds I have planted in the last decade. What have you done in the last decade?

Think about your life. The last decade:
* I graduated as a Chiropractor (with a business degree)
* I married an amazing woman and soul mate
* I bought a business (2 Chiropractic practices)
* I bought investment properties
* I had the gift of two beautiful boys
* I bought a home and sold that home
* I traveled the world from UK, Asia and USA
* I’m in the process of building a dream home
* I’ve bought into a seminar company

And while I have done so much already, I realize there’s plenty more to do. I love being a constant “work in progress” and I love serving the bigger vision.

I’ve noticed that while the faces and names change in my life, the characters are always the same.

When you are aligned with your purpose and make decisions with actions based on “behavioral congruency”, the path to prosperity occurs so quickly and abundantly that you wonder where it has been in all those lean years.

I don’t know what 2011 has installed for you, but I can assure you of several things:

* There will be a constant battle for your attention
* There will be great opportunities to invest in
* There will be great learning experiences that will expand your consciousness
* You will be disappointed
* You will be challenged
* You will grow
* You will meet new people who will shark or shine you
* You will have at least ONE defining moment

My only wish is you discover who you are and can convey with clarity, what you want in life?

As 2011 approaches, remember one very important thing…You are a creator. If you are not creating, you are out of alignment.

If you don’t put yourself first and create space for you to learn and grow, then 2011 will just be another year.

I encourage you to buy “The Pledge” by Michael Masterson as a gift for yourself in the new year.

Create moments for your family, your friends and your clients.

For it’s these moments that will stay with you for life.

Nothing is missing…Live, Love and Legacy.

Live Your Legacy,

CHEN

P.S To new clients, business partners and community members, I look forward to sharing the journey on the “insiders track”.

Other ways to connect with me is on my blog at: http://www.chentay.com or follow the conversation with Pow Wow Events on Facebook.

Remember, Conversations will Chen will be monthly next year. Thanks for your support in 2010 and all the best with your dreams in 2011…

As this year comes to a close, I want to say thank you so much for being a part of this community.

It’s because of your feedback and generous support that I am able to share my best insights, knowledge and experience with you.

I’ve discovered that as I become a better leader and communicator, I am able to draw out the strengths of others around me.

As your internal desire burns strong, it’s only a matter of time before you ignite the flame for others around you.

As you share your message, remember, you are making a significant difference in the lives of so many!

There are so many people that need to hear you voice, your message and know you are the catalyst to their best life.

In the new education era, we are all teachers creating a curriculum of self-discovery leveraged around our strengths, fueled by passion and aligned with purpose.

I am so grateful for you and want to say thanks from the bottom of my heart. For you have journeyed with me so far.

I hope it has inspired you to get better at what you do.

I hope it has inspired you to take those next steps in faith, knowing that with each step, you get closer to the dream.

I hope it has given you depth with distinctions but most importantly, I hope it has helped you discover your core values and beliefs as they will drive your decisions and actions.

The world demands your best. Stepup!

I have been blessed to be able to help those in need; and yet I know there’s still so much more to do.

Today, while you celebrate with your family and loved ones, I encourage you to continue to invest in this ongoing journey to offer hope and leadership to those who are suffering or living through challenging times.

Because “When you succeed, you create a platform for others to follow.”

Stepup and Shine!

CHEN

Have you ever made the impossible…possible?

Honestly, the last few weeks have been challenging and there were times when I simply had to ‘surrender’ and go with the flow.

You see, there’s many days where you can’t get everything done on your “to-do” list. There are days when people let you down…and days where you let people down.

There are times when you feel completely overwhelmed by all the opportunities that are presented to you. And times when you feel truly blessed and are grateful for your gifts.

And to add to your already full inbox of tasks, duties and responsibilities, your wife or significant other reminds you it’s Christmas next week. Yikes, where has the year gone?

You know, I really love this time of year. Firstly, my wife is usually happy for the whole month which is pretty exciting in our household. She loves Christmas and makes a big effort every year. (She’s like my done-for-you Christmas in a box service)

I think she still forgets that I’ve only celebrated Christmas in the last decade. Prior to that, I never “experienced” Christmas. But each year, I’m learning more about it and having children makes a big difference.

I didn’t get Christmas for a long time being an “outsider.” So many patients would complain about making an effort to see people you don’t really know, buying presents for people you don’t really like and complain about running out of toilet paper!

I know you are busy so I’ll stop ranting and give you one key thing to do over the next few weeks. Christmas is a time of giving. I encourage you to take time out and really connect with the people around you.

Engage in conversations that expand your mind. Reach out to people who you have neglected and fill their hearts. Hug those around you and remind them that you care. Because when you give your time and create a moment for someone, it becomes a gift that keeps on giving.

Giving is all about service. Giving grows you because your love expands as you serve. Giving with frequency cultivates a habit that puts deposits in your emotional bank account. So the more you give, the more you can serve.

Giving can also reveal the truth. If you believe in “giving to receive”, then you support the transactional, zero-sum game world where no one wins. Real giving is a gift that releases your resistance without expectations.

Don’t be afraid to be humbled by the truth because when you face the truth, you will grow. And you will expand beyond your current comfort zone and experience a whole new level of depth with distinctions from your heart.

Thank you for supporting “Conversations with Chen” this year. Although I didn’t reach my goal of 500 members, I got close. It’s a great foundation to build on.

I want to take a moment and thank those who posted comments on my wall and sent me private messages. By making that effort, you have contributed to helping me enrich each edition from my heart.

I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and safe and prosperous New Year. If you are ready to make big plans for 2011, then I have an exciting gift for you next week.

Next week will be the final Conversations with Chen for 2010.

Until then…nothing is missing…grace is the gift that heals the deepest wounds.

Live Your Legacy,

CHEN

P.S Remember to focus on the people around you. These days, it’s so easy to be there without being there. Turn off that phone, ignore those messages and really be present with the people around you. When you disconnect, you’ll discover you’ll be more connected to real people in the real world. That’s all…

Hey There,
What a week?

Thank you for all your kind words of support. I really feel inspired by the private messages, txts and phone messages I have been receiving on a daily basis.

And I have great news to report back to you. While I inherited a “dead” list, I’m pleased to announce that we have a “pulse”! (Woohoo!!!)

The first email campaign was a huge success with over 976 responses to the survey so far. We were expecting 100. Some people have told me that this could be the largest survey completed in the personal development/wealth creation game.

All we know is that the feedback has been simply amazing…

But enough about me, let’s get back to you.

Today, I want to share with you “The Greatest Success Secret Ever…”

Okay, it sounds hypey and most of the know-it-alls have probably tuned out already. But I really want to share this with you. Consider it my special gift to you.

It’s taken me over a decade to appreciate and practice this concept in my life. And it’s only been in the last 9 months that I have really understood it’s impact.

If you have read many success books, listened to audios, invested in homestudy courses and attended seminars, then you would know that the secret to success is “action”.

You gotta take ACTION. You’ve it heard it many times before. And each time, it reminds you, are you taking action on what you see, hear and learn today?

And yet, after all these years of action, are you any better off?

For most, the answer is definitely YES. For others, it’s unsuprisingly NO. And for a few, well…it’s SORT OF? Sound familiar.

Listen, there’s many directions I can take this conversation but I want to focus clearly on one concept. And I believe if you really understand this, you will change your life and experience a whole new level of appreciation and gratitude.

So what is the greatest success secret ever?

Are you ready? Here it is…

“Aligned Actions”

When you take “aligned actions”, you attract more people, resources and relationships in your life. You can reach your destination faster and progress along your path with certainty and confidence when you take aligned actions.

You will experience a whole new level of energy and focus. You will be inspired and flood your heart with a desire that will fuel you body and mind and nourish your soul.

“Aligned Actions”

Listen, I’m not here to prove you right. I’m here to share something that has not only helped me grow…but expand my depth and distinction.

So many people in this game keep growing but reach a point where they max out. They lack the innovation and ‘emotional’ support to expand further.

Real education is not a “box-solution” but an ongoing process to discover your core self. It’s confronting when you expel all excuses and realize you have everything you need right now.

So the first step to taking aligned actions, is to define your “life purpose”.

What’s your working model for your “life purpose”?

Do you have one?

And that’s a conversation we’ll continue next time.

Nothing is missing…being humble is better than being right.

Live Your Legacy,

CHEN

P.S I want to share the Learn, Leverage, Love framework with you:

Live to learn to expand your mind with knowledge, skills and experience.
Leverage your strengths to increase your influence, impact and income
Live to love by magnifying the meaning in your relationships

P.P.S Keep a lookout for a special email in the middle of the week…

What do you want?

Think about it. Stop. And really think about it.

What do you really want?

Are you sick of making more money but don’t feel any better off? (Your income seems to always match your expenses???)

Are you tired of growing your business, only to have the same problems come back…again?

Are you stuck? Or are you struggling to get started?

What do you really want?

I found myself asking that question last year. (In fact, I ask myself that question every year) And I was really surprised with the answer.

My ultimate goal is to lead a global education company. That’s why I worked for a leading mentor for four years without pay. (Yes, it was the apprentice years!)

My world has always circled around education because it was my ticket out of poverty. At the moment, I love social entrepreneurship and can see how social business will really change our society in the future.

I’ve also noticed new opportunities are always aligned with that vision. And each time I stepped forward in that direction, I moved closer towards the goal.

For example, I loved working with speakers because they would share their knowledge to large groups of people. This mass education was a great way to accelerate your message to the world.

I loved working with authors who could change lives and command attention with the power of their words. When you write authentically, you create synergy in your soul and express the essence of your greatness.

I loved working with coaches because coaches worked with winners. And as I discovered, winners would always win more because it’s embedded in their “winning DNA”.

What do you love to do?

What do you want?

We distract our lives with stories that serve us. These stories are told over and over again to justify our current position.

They can often disconnect us with our true purpose and create roundabouts on the journey as we try to uncover our true self.

On the weekend, I met someone who was amazed with my new level of energy and purpose. I simply told her, “I was in alignment”. She understood exactly what I meant.

“Are you in ALIGNMENT?”

Do you know why success in isolation never works? Because when the only thing you do is think about yourself, you get depressed.

If your fantasy doesn’t equal your reality, it creates a gap. And that gap of expectation can destroy your life if you don’t know how to bridge it.

That’s why it’s easier to be busy in life than you address your problems. While time does heal everything, making an effort allows you to accelerate the process.

So if you are struggling or have had a difficult year, listen to this:

You were designed to serve others and add value.

Some get it, others don’t.

Your game is played at the level of your thoughts, feelings and actions.

Nothing is missing…give yourself permission to succeed.

Live Your Legacy,

CHEN

P.S I have made a big decision moving forward which means I can only help a small number of clients next year. Things happen fast around me. With Christmas coming up, it’s the best time to prepare for 2011. If you want a quick chat or to find out more, please send me a private message.

P.P.S I had a client and friend who resigned on Thursday and picked up another great package on Monday. The power of connections and relationships means you are one step away when you declare what you want…

Imagine you only had to do one thing in business?

And if you focused on that one thing, your wealth would grow.

The reality is there’s lots to do as an entrepreneur. But there’s only a few key leverage points that will accelerate your growth.

During a high level training with Dan Kennedy, he revealed the “do one thing” business model and strategy behind it.

While many in the room didn’t get it, his message sank deep into my mind. And changed my thinking forever.

You see, in my last post, I received great feedback. But many were stuck with how to apply the “one thing” strategy in their life.

So I’m going to go a little deeper and give you a strategy to help you implement this ONE thing strategy into your life.

If you decide you are a writer, write. If you decide you are a speaker, speak. If you decide you are a leader, then lead.

Write that next sentence, book that next speaking presentation and lead your life. Be the commander and chief.

Once you lead yourself, you can lead your family, then others around you, then your community, then your country and then the world.

A writer that does not write is not a writer. Regardless of how many courses and seminars you attend. If you don’t wake up with an urge to write, then you got to decide if writing is worth your while.

So, when you decide on your ONE thing, take the next step NOW. Not tomorrow, not next week or next month.

Do ONE thing each day that will lead you towards your goal.

Start now. In the last month, I’ve been “doing” more than “learning” more. While I still allocate “thinking” time, I’ve discovered some amazing opportunities and people have come into my life because of my actions.

Your momentum in fueled by alignment with your core purpose.

You can design your lifestyle by choice, not chance.

If it still sounds impossible for you to succeed in this current climate, then there’s five reasons why you may feel that way:

1. You are new to the industry and you haven’t heard or seen anyone in your current circles achieve this before. (Remember, I thought $50K a year was a dream income when I first started the journey)

2. You are trying to make ALL your income in one area and struggling. Remember, incomes are magnified and multiplies when they are combined with existing opportunities. Multiple products, services and events allow you to expand your income.

3. You’re stuck because you’ve become the big fish in the small pond. And while you would like to play a bigger game, you’re not quite sure HOW to do it and WHO to trust.

4. You’re afraid of what others think of your success so you self sabotage yourself. (This is a common problem when you don’t have the right mentoring or support group)

5. But the main reason this all seems beyond you is because – you don’t know how to leverage great marketing around a proven business model.

Listen, before you get mad at me, it’s important to be aware of your current emotions.

I’m not saying you can’t do these things. All I want you to be aware of is the excuses that our minds make up when we are challenged with new things we don’t know.

Stop the excuses and stories and STEPUP.

If you want to create an impactful message, design an exciting program for your members or connect with a like-minded support network of achievers…then join one of my mastermind groups, have a phone strategy session or book a VIP coaching day.

There’s no problems, only solutions.

Nothing is missing…alignment accelerates your influence, impact and income.

Live Your Legacy,

CHEN

P.S You are one step away from liberating your greatness. I have decided to take on a big opportunity next year that will take most of my time. If you have ever wanted to work with me or really need a fresh perspective on your business or ideas, then I encourage you book some private time. Things move fast in my world. You can ask Deano Power. Next week, I will be releasing limited packages before I take on my new role and begin the next step in my journey…

Are you an Over-Achiever?

I remember attending Tony Robbins “Unleash The Power Within” with over 10,000 people at the Rod Laver Arena. It was a great event and one that transformed my thinking around the “success” industry.

You see, Tony admired that Australian’s actually had a name for a global condition where people will tear down successful people.

“Tall Poppy Syndrome.”

In every industry, there are winners. And then, there are over-achievers.

People who over-achieve and consistently deliver results. People who inspire others to believe. They raise our level of expectation and performance.

In sports, they are the superstars. They have the X-factor. They can win games win one defining moment. Some possess natural talent while others work hard on refining their skills.

In business, they are the experts. People who have an unique perspective and deliver value to their industry. These people have learnt how to position, package and promote their ideas.

(If you want to fast track your Expert status…check out Brendon Burchard’s Expert Academy program.)

Go to: http://www.facebook.com/l/b35a0w5w3uDGmeFKjMLK4_pDblA;www.tinyurl.com/cwcexpert

The biggest problem with over-achieving is loneliness. As you climb higher and higher, there are fewer people that understand you.

While they may admire you from a distance, they are trying to “model” and work out “how” they can emulate your success.

And there’s the problem.

Winners will achieve more naturally because they understand it’s more about behavior that intentions. It’s more about strategy than tactics. It’s more about attitude than stories.

After all, the stories we tell ourselves are often what keeps us at the level of our current performance.

You can model people, but you can’t inherit their values and beliefs. Walk a mile in their shoes and you’ll probably want to retreat back to your life.

When you start a business, when you sell a product or service and when you decide on change, your “core operating system” will over ride your well meaning intentions.

Instead of building a traditional consulting business, I discovered a model that allowed you to make a great ‘lifestyle’ income with a small number of clients.

In the coaching business, I found that many clients out grew their coach within the first 3 months. So I focused on the client and not on the customized curriculum I wanted to deliver.

In the online world, the rules are changing all the time but the fundamental principles remain the same.

Listen. Ultimately, you want to do ONE thing well and transfer that into multiple areas of your life.

Read that again.

“Do ONE thing well and transfer that into all areas of your life.”

It’s not a magic formula. It’s not a secret society shake. And it won’t make you instantly rich.

But if you understand your ONE thing and leverage it to other things, you may find yourself on the winners path.

Expect a big win this week!

Nothing is missing…A leader can start a community but it’s the people that grow that community…

Live Your Legacy,

CHEN

P.S This year will be the last year that “Conversations with Chen” will be weekly. Next year, it will be a monthly edition with bonus issues. Thanks for your support and feedback. If you have any direct questions for me personally, please private message me. I’m looking to address all questions in a regular edition.

P.P.S One of my goals for this year was to reach 500 members for CWC. If you can help me in the next few weeks, I would appreciate your support.

“When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep Stuck in reverse”
- “Fix You”, ColdPlay

Innovation comes with a price.

Whether you pay for it now or learn from it over time.

You must constantly reinvent yourself and make yourself relevant.

Being stuck can often mean you are disconnected with your core vision or purpose. Or as Stephen Covey says, “start with the end in mind”.

When you position, package and price your “widgets” in a certain way allows you to differentiate yourself from the rest of the marketplace.

With great value and support, you place yourself in an unique space in a crowded marketplace.

Recently I described someone as the “Robbie Williams of the Personal Development” game because of his attitude and ability to deliver results. While you should never compare yourself with others (values), you should look at comparables to find leverage (equity) in the marketplace.

When you educate yourself and release your story, you expand and enlarge those around you. Your capacity to influence and impact people will determine your level of income. The problem is it’s easy to forget the fundamentals when you obtain a high level of success.

The higher you climb the ladder, the less number of people “get you” and it may frustrate you. Over-achievers often win in isolation. While they may appear to live amazing lives on the outside, there’s an emptiness and constant battle with dragons within.

There’s a saying, the higher you climb, the faster you fall. This is often due to the lack of fundamentals. Having said that, many people that have a “success blueprint” can often re-create their wealth rapidly again.

Success can be a dangerous drug.

You get seduced in the ego and status. You start trying to impress people that you don’t even like. You buy things you don’t need. And you find entertainment in the drama around you.

These distractions disconnect you from your core purpose. If you find yourself in this space, it’s important to FOCUS on your current ALIGNMENT.

Are you in alignment today?

Are you guided by a compass or by chaos?

This weekend, I was reading a proposal to buy 50% of a seminar company a few years ago for a significant price.

There were many lessons and great questions raised in this document on clarity of value. But the big breakthrough halfway through this proposal was that I realized if you want to change your industry, you got to be a role model. Be the change you seek as Ghandi would say.

You have to do your research and get results in the game before you start dishing out advice. Runs on the board and an unique perspective gives you the opportunity to influence others.

The life of dreamers and doers are world’s apart. But they all start with same spark. If you have read my posts or are a supporter, I encourage you to contribute to “new conversations” in your circles of influence.

Let’s create solutions, build a framework and support ideas that add value to the marketplace. Spitting poison on an industry where you generate your income is extremely disrespected and ungrateful and is a zero-sum game. I’ve always tried to provide solutions when problems arise but in some situations, the truth hurts too much and I am out of my depth.

The reason I joined the TED movement is because I want to raise the bar on our industry. I want to be on the leading edge of innovating the online education experience. But I realize that these worlds are far apart because of their value systems.

Maybe one day, a bridge can be constructed through leaders, educators, trainers, students and graduates. Time is the essence. The birth of a new era of education with the innovation of online technology breeds exciting times ahead…

Nothing is missing…In awe of no one, inspired by everyone.

Live Your Legacy,

CHEN

P.S  With 2011 approaching, I’m looking for new talent and stars. If you know someone who is an expert in their field and delivers great value and results, please send me a private message. The fun part of curating an education program is meeting new speakers, educators and trainers. Thanks for your support and I appreciate your referrals.
