Why am I successful? Pardon my arrogance but I am successful because I was kicked in the ass early enough to wake up to the masses of the real world. It started at University. Just after I’d graduated, I took on an architectural job in England and was given the task to draw out some plug points on a drawing which represented a wall. Not realising the importance of scale and measurement without computers back in the day, my lines were lackadaisical of nature and I got shouted at by my boss. Big time.
That day I learnt that every millimetre counted. Similarly, the words that we use on a daily basis, have effect and impact on the ones who surround us. The tonation of the word changes everything in the delivery and understanding of the recipient. Hence I became a marketing expert because very quickly from construction, I learnt sales and marketing in the construction industry, and then reinforced by a strong sales driven British company trained to death with fortnightly changes that threw all staff off their balconies, I survived. I once heard an Australian MD say that if you’ve ever worked for Regus, you could work ANYWHERE.
So forgive me if I appear Nazi.
It is how I have been trained towards excellence. In my camp, we do not sleep till the job gets done. And not just done but done FABULOUSLY. And what is the benchmark of fabulous? We compete globally. Being the best in Malaysia isn’t enough. We have to be top tier globally. THAT is the standard I strive towards every single day.
Not everyone wants this of course and not everyone is even cut out for it and that is OK. But can I just be honest to say that my heart cries every time I am exposed to the level of education and skills of human resource in Malaysia? I keep telling myself, next year, stop work. Stop work so I can go do something for my country. At the rate we are growing our people, we are just moving further and further behind the rest of the world. It is so sad.
If nothing is done, my kids probably won’t have a future in Malaysia. My daughter is already eyeing her penthouse in Manhattan. Malaysia is such a beautiful country. We have the best food. We could make SO MUCH MONEY from the world but instead…..
Anyway, we trudge on. Baby steps. Let’s make things better.
Ultimately, this is all about contribution. Life fulfilment is all about contribution.
**************************************************************************Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
