Be a True Lifestyle Entrepreneur (w/ Marc Teo)

[Budgeting Method to Reach Financial Freedom!] The idea behind the six financial jars is to allocate your income into different "jars" or categories to ensure that you effectively manage your finances and achieve your financial goals. Each jar represents a different purpose for your money. 💬Here's a brief overview of the six jars: 👉Necessities Jar (50-55%): This jar is for covering your basic needs such as rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, transportation, and other essential expenses. Ideally, this should not exceed 55% of your income. 👉Financial Freedom Jar (10%): This jar is dedicated to saving and investing for your future financial security. You should allocate 10% of your income to this jar to build wealth over time. 👉Long-Term Savings for Spending Jar (10%): This jar is for saving for larger expenses like vacations, a new car, or major home improvements. It's money set aside for planned future expenditures. 👉Education Jar (10%): This jar is for investing in your personal and professional growth. It can be used for courses, books, seminars, or any form of self-improvement. 👉Play Jar (10%): This jar is for enjoying life in the present moment. You can use this money for entertainment, dining out, hobbies, and other discretionary spending. 👉Give Jar (5%): This jar is for giving back to the community or supporting charitable causes. It's a way to contribute to causes you believe in. The key to making the six financial jar system work is discipline and consistency. You allocate a fixed percentage of your income to each jar as soon as you receive it. This approach helped me prioritize savings, investments, and financial goals while still allowing for enjoyment and giving back! Hope this helps! WATCH VIDEO HERE

Here is a list of things that are not doing “the thing”: “Preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing. Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on other people who have done the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on the obstacles in the way of doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Fantasising about all of the adoration you'll receive once you do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how other people did the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading this essay isn't doing the thing. The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.” — Strangest Loop - got this from Chris Williamson. Really good stuff.

It's fun & exciting to attend events, become super inspired, and feel like everything is possible. But life only changes when you're finally committed to take action...ESPECIALLY when you don't feel like doing it.

After 3 years, here’s the weirdest thing I found out about my business that was making me money. I didn’t think much of it when it first happened, but I knew I couldn’t ignore it after it happened many times…aka this: https://www.facebook.com/MarcTeoo/posts/pfbid02bxV9JP8A17PEtQHknfjsyWwPCQt8W9X22TKdYBwKfKJjSkJoTTVLmVh5qArbhqfPl P.S. Some people will definitely NOT like what I’ve to say from this…but please note it’s all based on objective data and research. If you have ever joined or know someone who has participated in a “premium” coaching program before…do have a quick read. It could save someone up to tens of thousands of dollars!

The day you stop whining and feeling bad about yourself... and actually do something about it is when you take charge of your life. Many people are unhappy and dissatisified with where they are - and you'll find them constantly complaining, feeling bad, and/or whining. But only a select few will do something about it. Which group are you in?

The Top 10 Investments that I am the most Grateful for (in no particular order): Let me know if you've read this by dropping an emoji to this post k? :) 1. A Personal Development Program 2. LUNA - even if it dropped 99% 3. Personal Training - post on this coming soon 4. X-Factor Marketing w Mel & Jo - even though it cost half my previous annual salary 5. HLF - a sell put option that started my entire investment journey 6. BOS Coach - to learn how to present, communicate & speak effectively while being a better investor too 7. TESLA - not just for the ROI gains, but to be vested in a company that I have so much respect & admiration for 8. Funnel Hacking Live - I didn't have much cash then, but did whatever it took to raise that amount to fly to US for the live event 9. Stuart Tan - to upgrade my mindset & mental models even further 10. Strategic Systems with Darius - to upgrade myself to grow & scale my business further === You realise that these investments have provided me way more than just money. It has provided me with high income skills I can monetise over & over again, helped improve the quality of how I live my life, and lessons + mindsets that I will take away for a lifetime. And if you feel that all your best investments are simply those that give you the highest ROI... It might be something worth pondering about.

Here’s a breakdown of the most important skill that helped me to successfully grow my coaching business and generate 6 figures via my side hustle - all in the comfort of my home. Whether you are an entrepreneur, side hustler, or simply a 9-5 who wants to find a way to increase your income with less time and effort…I am sure this will be useful for you 🙂 In short, it’s the simple skill of writing profitable posts. A quick disclaimer: I never received an A for my English or GP exams. I took Literature before but barely passed. This means as long as you are able to read whatever I’ve written so far…chances are that you can succeed too. And so, here are the exact lessons & actions I took that helped me ever since I started out: https://www.facebook.com/MarcTeoo/posts/pfbid0AMECKHrKtVv6tJ1E9UY4sbv7V6ffiwymmimjzHJP7VJTyY6dekcy1srf858s3FWDl P.S. In this post, I also share how I was able to generate hundreds of leads for my side hustle when I was starting from scratch, how I generated >600,000 impressions from just one post alone, and my writing “hack” that allows me to create high-quality content even if I am feeling stuck too - enjoy!!

Don't go around faking yourself. Your image. Your accolades. Your results. Your life. Because when people see the "real" you - it simply creates a worse impression that it is already giving. Yes, it might be scary or uncomfortable to show the "real you". But authencity always triumps at the end of the day.

Happy Sunday! Here’s what Master Implementers has been up to this week: 1. Biggest Lessons from My Private Conversations with 6-7 Figure Entrepreneurs in August As an introvert, I’m someone who loves to stay and work in my cave alone. In fact, I used to hide in the toilet whenever I had to go to networking events in the past… But last month, I made it a priority to "get out" and meet more people to connect and expand my perspectives. And besides meeting some amazing people in KL, here were some of the folks I met and some of the best lessons I took away during the past 2 weeks: Find out more about it here: https://www.facebook.com/MarcTeoo/posts/pfbid02vFMHFMvWwoEPynjSfKzsCZM9fr9bTvheNSHoW3iY42BpKuw6nMNFtseSMKn3qyN3l 2. Why I Invested $3,000 for just a 3 Hours Consultation Session If you’ve joined multiple programs, watched many different courses, and participated in different workshops but still not where you want to be…this is for you. Yes, while we are all taught to "think positive" and never give up, I know it must feel tiring, and frustrating to do our best but not succeed. However, the reason is likely because there is one missing ingredient, and it’s coming from someone who has bought thousands of dollars of courses (on mindset, sales & marketing, investing, business, etc.)... But what finally propelled my income to grow my business to multiple 6 figures was this: PERSONAL SUPPORT. Find out more about it here: https://www.facebook.com/MarcTeoo/posts/pfbid02LtFqLHmuAS1gqojNmQPze76XmS7MWvaPCiEYpzwNV4zjmzP6D3JUADKhZgQn93AKl 3. My biggest insecurity when starting a business "Am I really good enough for people to trust and listen to me?" And over the years, I also realised that many of my clients & community members struggle with this same exact insecurity, This is why today, I’ll be sharing exactly what I did to help overcome these limiting beliefs, which helped me finally grow my dream business to where it is today. Find out more about it here: https://www.facebook.com/MarcTeoo/posts/pfbid0qoQ1y7n7Qa81vwtnssADtg1fZNBmLi3fQigFKuVwUHvNMhXpdnoKPBcVdV49gtL5l Alright, that's it for now.

As an introvert, I’m someone who loves to stay and work in my cave alone. In fact, I used to hide in the toilet whenever I had to go to networking events in the past… But last month, I made it a priority to “get out” and meet more people to connect and expand my perspectives. And besides meeting some amazing people in KL, here were some of the folks I met and some of the best lessons I took away during the past 2 weeks: https://www.facebook.com/MarcTeoo/posts/pfbid0rPua4gzh6Hwffx91Zh34URGDtQPoYeB8bV34jutxkw8t3pb2dRBxgnf8PyVrYAUJl

Had feedback from many people that I should be sharing more of my own successes and clients’s results. Not that I’ve never heard of it before, but perhaps there’s some intrernal resistance of doing so? Suspect is because I have some limiting beliefs or conversations about “showing off” - aka I don’t find it useful or beneficial to share them. Something worth reflecting deeper on and to potentially rewire my conversations about. What do you think?

Something I will never tolerate: People who are rude towards my team. Yes, it's okay to have questions and to feel a little skeptical at times (i understand because there are just so many crazy claims and poor delivery by many gurus and trainers these days), But if you are ever rude to any member of my team, I'll gladly refund you, remove you, and just cut you out from my community. This will hold true whether you are someone who's able to pay lots of money or not. Yes, part of me will empathise with you because I am sure some horrible things have probably happened in your life to cause you to be that way, But I will not apologise for my policy of non tolerance. And if you're reading this, I hope you have your own non negotiable standards as well. Because remember, money is not everything.

Something I always wonder is why do people like to take their time. "Let me try on my own first" "Let me think about it" "Not now (after they say the goals are improtant to them)" "I will give this opportunity a miss" Time is so precious but you want to "wait" for the goals that are important to you. If something is important to you - wouldn't you want to achieve it ASAP? But most people dwadle, take it slow, and just crawl their way there - even if it's completely possible to achieve what they want. If you are reading this, I hope you don't do this for goals that are important to you.

It's ok if there are days you "slack off". But the worse is you start feeling guilty and bad about it. Instead, remind yourself that it's OKAY to relax once in awhile. We are not robots. We all have bad days. Also, if it happens repeatedly, simply ask yourself what tends to happen for you to stop working as consistently as you'd like. For me it's whenever I sprain ankle - I feel shitty and bad that I cannot even walk - likely because I never want to feel like a burden to others And when I start addressing those conversations, I feel better. So yes - remember that no one here is a robot, and be kind to yourself :)

How to Overcome Fear of making a major decision? Just objectively dissect down what exactly is your worse case scenario. If most of you fail, chances are you simply have to take some time to find another job, get judged by your friends, get questioned by your family, etc. If those are what you are afraid of - then you need to ask yourself if giving up on your goals and dreams for those reasons actually worth it. Most of us exxagerate the fear in our head too much and let that stop us from living our best lives. The more specific we make it out to be, the more we will realise its foolish to NOT go after our dreams in life. You got this. P.S. Even when it comes to your loved ones, most of them are simply projecting their judgments and assessments to you - usually simply meant to survive and protect. Yes - they probably love you for saying whateverthey will say, but note that only YOU know what's worth fighting and risking for.

If you’ve joined the programs, watched many courses, and participated in different workshops but still not where you want to be…this is for you. Yes, while we are all taught to “think positive” and never give up, I know it must feel tiring, and frustrating to do our best but not succeed. However, the reason is likely because there is one missing ingredient, and it’s coming from someone who has bought thousands of dollars of courses (on mindset, sales & marketing, investing, business, etc.)... But what finally propelled my income to grow my business to multiple 6 figures was this: https://www.facebook.com/MarcTeoo/posts/pfbid02LkcKMvkAyjCs9zX7ZSuLiPNpTbpZcidusU6LC1Pdcn9Q9sft1JMfnQcFBojFbWrHl

No matter how attractive or sexy an opportunity might be... You ALWAYS want to look at it from a risk reward basis. If you realise that you cannot handle the worse case scenario, or worse yet, if they are considered as "irreversible consequences"... You might want to hold off taking it.

It's so important to be upfront with your intentions. No matter how rich, successful, or knowledgeable you are, You lose trust if you are not upfront with your intentions from the very beginning.

When I first started my business, I had a massive insecurity that sabotaged my success for a long time: “Am I really good enough for people to trust and listen to me?” And over the years, I also realised that many of my clients & community members struggle with this same exact insecurity, This is why today, I’ll be sharing exactly what I did to help overcome these limiting beliefs, which helped me finally grow my dream business to where it is today.

📚 Learnings from an 8-Figure Mentor 🤑 I once invested $50,000 in a coaching session with Melvin Soh, a figure who's made over 8 figures in business! I met with him last week again and I knew, I had to share my takeaways as soon as I can.  Here's the gold I took away for you: 1️⃣ Your surroundings shape you. If you stay in one place, you limit your thinking. Surround yourself with inspiring energy and people who uplift you. 2️⃣ Bigger results need bigger beliefs. It's not just chanting affirmations; it's believing in your ability to achieve your goals. Don't drown in information; act strategically. 3️⃣ I had to face my limiting beliefs, like doubting my ability to reach 7 figures. Question your doubts and learn from those who inspire you. In the end, it's not about new info, but application. Ask: Have I applied this? How can I do it better? Success boils down to consistent action and effective feedback. You've got this! 💪 Read Here!
