She Wasted Her Money Hiring The Wrong Coach
“Testimonials are thank-you gifts from the heart of someone who has been touched by our love, passion and commitment.” Evelyn Lim
I was surprised to receive an email recently from an ex-client of mine. She had been wanting to write a testimonial for me since last year but had forgotten about it. Well, she finally got to it.
In her email, Angeline Tang shared her story about hiring a coach who, unfortunately, was not able to assist her in a better way forward. Here is what she wrote….

How I manifested a Dream Home with a $700,000 Price Reduction
“Play the picture in your mind – focus on the end result.” The Secret movie
I am so excited! I finally bought a new home. Not only is my new place located centrally, just minutes away from the shopping belt – but I also purchased it at S$700,000 (US$560,000) below its asking price.
It is like a miracle come true for a number of reasons. We have been looking for a new place periodically for some years. Many weekends were spent looking at places up for sale. Until three months ago, the arduous search that spanned a huge radius did not yield results.
Then, unexpectedly, we found one exactly where we would like it to be. Located near the hustle and bustle of city life but tucked in an exclusive corner, my new home is rather convenient. Most importantly, it is within walking distance of my daughter’s school.
The best part of it all is securing the deal at a price that was below the seller’s asking price and also below bank valuation. The difference of S$700,000 (US$560,000) made it possible for us to own a place in our desired location.

How to Find the Nirvana of Life Balance
Do you find it hard to achieve life balance?
Balance can be a challenging thing to attain if your work schedule is hectic and demanding.
“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.” Thomas Merton
Perhaps, you have been striving hard for the money; climbing up the corporate ladder or running your business. You could also be a mompreneur working hard to balance babies and business at the same time.
And so, up till now, there could have been aspects of your life that you have ignored or set aside.

7 Ways to Remove Distractions for Better Energy Focus
Remove distractions to create better energy focus. Distractions divide your attention. You lose momentum. According to Gloria Mark, a leader in interruption science, the average knowledge worker switches tasks every three minutes, and, once distracted, a worker takes nearly a half-hour to resume the original task.
You may not want to remove distractions for all situations. For instance, distractions can be helpful for temporarily removing anxiety. For example, a doctor may engage in small talk with a toddler while he administers an injection on her arm. He draws her attention away from any pain that she may feel. She feels a prick but her attention is placed on the conversation with the doctor. For her “good” behaviour, she also gets a lollipop at the end of the session with her doctor.
However, in the situation where you are hoping to manifest a dream or goal, becoming distracted and losing focus is not helpful. It is best to remove distractions to get them out of the way. When you are distracted, you put attention on ideas, activities and paths that are not aligned with your original intent. You waste time. You can end up going in circles. Consequently, you take a longer time to attain success…if at all.

10 Fears Related to Leaving the Security of a Job
“Fear can be good when you’re walking past an alley at night or when you need to check the locks on your doors before you go to bed, but it’s not good when you have a goal and you’re fearful of obstacles. We often get trapped by our fears, but anyone who has had success has failed before.” Queen Latifah
Through my conversations with others, I find that most people share the similar dream of being able to leave the security of a regular paycheck, so that they can build a business or do work that they love. Yet, the thought of going into something that seemed unstable look scary. Even as fear keeps them stuck, they experience a lack of fulfillment in their job increasingly.
If the above scenario is what you are going through, read on.
It will be far too easy to paint the picture of running an online marketing business as a bed of roses. However, I will not be telling the truth. Far too many people are sold the dream of a beach lifestyle while running an online business by internet marketers hoping to push their “get-rich-quick” schemes.

How Your Body Reacts to Stress from Money Struggles
“Stress is basically a disconnection from the earth, a forgetting of the breath. Stress is an ignorant state. It believes that everything is an emergency. Nothing is that important. Just lie down.” Natalie Goldberg
We already know this: chronic stress brings down overall wellness. Yet, like the vast majority of people, we may find it hard to eliminate anxiety. Unfortunately, if we don’t address any heightened stress levels, physical health can be compromised. Thus, we become more vulnerable to illnesses from a lowered immune system.
One of the main sources of chronic stress is worrying over “not enough money”. Indeed, money stress is one of the main – if not the top – concerns on the minds of the people that I speak with – including friends, clients and relatives. It’s the reason for sleepless nights and tension headaches for these people.
To a large extent, our body is equipped to cope with stress. We have a coping mechanism that protects us from perceived threats. In caveman days, the threats mainly come from physical predators. In today’s world, our perceived threats usually come from needing to meet the demands of modern living. We have to face the issues of balancing work and family life, making ends meet, earning enough to afford a minimum standard of living and so on. If we constantly perceive that we can’t cope, it is when we get into chronic stress.
Lesson On Success is Not a Straight Line
“The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flat tires called Jobs, but if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perserverance, a driver called Will Power, you will make it to a place called Success.” Unknown
Are you in the following scenario? – You are not able to close sales all of a sudden. In fact, the number of customers has dwindled to a halt. As the days go by, you become increasingly worried.
Up until recently, you had been on a winning streak. Even in a bad economy or where conditions are difficult, you had been garnering sales. It’s been great. And, you had felt jubilant, on top of the world, like megabucks. Your vibrational state rose to an all-time high.

How to Overcome Feelings of Financial Insecurity in an Uncertain World
“But you cannot understand life and its mysteries as long as you try to grasp it. Indeed, you cannot grasp it, just as you cannot walk off with a river in a bucket. If you try to capture running water in a bucket, it is clear that you do not understand it and that you will always be disappointed, for in the bucket the water does not run. To ‘have’ running water you must let go of it and let it run.” Alan Wilson Watts, Wisdom of Insecurity
Are you finding it hard to combat the feelings of insecurity in a world that does not appear to be safe, stable and supportive?
If so, you could be feeling a lack of control. You perceive that there are many uncertain external factors that can potentially disrupt your well-being. It has been one of the main reasons why you are in a heightened state of stress.
You are not alone if you are feeling this way. Insecurity afflicts even famous personalities like politicians, movie stars or models. As American actor, Christian Slater, once said, “I thought I’d get over being insecure if I became famous, but it hasn’t happened. It just gets worse, really. You get more and more on edge, more nervous. These are all the things I’m dealing with. You think if you get famous, fear will go away and problems will go away. But they don’t.”
In particular, as the cost of living rises, you can experience a lot of worry in the area of finance. For instance, you could have the following financial fears: that you will run out of money, cannot keep up with the rising cost of living, unable to service your loan, cannot put food on the table, do not have enough for retirement, do not have enough to set up a fund for emergencies and so on.

How to Practice the Art of Dreaming to Attract Abundance
“All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination. Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth.” Napoleon Hill
It can be hard to believe yourself as a powerful creative being, with the ability to change your current reality simply by directing your thoughts. I have had tremendous difficulty with this myself as well, especially in the beginning when I started trying to practice deliberate thinking. Most of us invariably find ourselves slipping back into a world of victimhood. Any notion about being powerful co-creators gets instantly thrown out of the window when we are faced with stress.
Yet, the Law of Deliberate Creation is a law. In addition, there is already scientific evidence to support how our reality is influenced by what we believe in. Quantum physics has shown that just by the act of observation, a person can alter reality.
