Remember about 2 weeks ago, I shared with you all about my audio interview with Adam Khoo ? http://www.female50gp.com/2009/blog/merry/audio-interview/
Well, appearantly WordPress has limitation on the size of the file that you can upload. But no worries, because right now, problem is solved!
I have uploaded in youtube, and provide you all with the link. Also, I've written the summary of the audio interview for your reading pleasure. I'm very sure that you'll learn a lot from Adam's sharing. So here it is…
Many people yearn to become successful in their lives, achieve financial freedom, and to realize their dreams. These people, however, either doubted their abilities to do so or blame it on the situation that they’re in. I was very fortunate to be able to interview Adam Khoo. Through this short audio interview you will rediscover and release the innate abilities that you possess to be successful, and the right way to run your businesses. For ladies, you’ll learn the real meaning of gorgeous, how to exhibit this beauty from the inside out, and at the same time, believing that success does not only belong to men, but women can do it too.
Adam Khoo is the Executive Chairman and Chief Master Trainer of Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group Pte Ltd which has branches at various places of South-East Asia, as well as the director of 7 other private companies. While many are still busy experimenting their life directions at the phase of “twenty-something”, Adam is a successful entrepreneur who have already made their first million at the young age of 26. Adam is now a best-selling author as well, finished ten books and his eleventh one is in the making. His education company is also moving towards an international platform, selling his franchise to European country, Holland.
Among all his business and hectic schedules, you would wonder where he got his time to do all these things that he like, such as writing, giving speeches and spending time with his family. In his glamourized world, Adam’s proudest moment is not to helm all his businesses. Instead, he stresses that his proudest moment is when he managed to step down. He says, “The test of a good entrepreneur is someone who can make themselves obsolete because if you got to be there doing everything, then the business doesn’t work. You work. And the moment you die, the business dies.” Holding on to this principle, Adam has a partner who general runs all his self-sustain businesses for him, and thus freeing up time for himself. The essence of running a successful business is to move towards a self-sustain business, quit the self-employed show, and leverage.
People are Adam’s best resources. His advice to you is to leverage. Lower your ego as a boss, and learn to appreciate the work and aptitude of the talented people that you hired. Only then, you’ll have capable and loyal employees who willingly work for you. In addition, honesty is an important prerequisite when you bring in these talents under your wings, “because if they’re dishonest and they’re smart, they’re going to cheat you of your money” Adam says. After leveraging, finding these talented honest people who are loyal to you, empower them as well. Both Adam and I have testified through our businesses that when your people are successful, it will eventually lead to your own success.
In relation to 50 Gorgeous People by Female magazine. Adam describe that being gorgeous does not only limit to physical attractiveness, but also someone who radiant an inner beauty from the inside out, someone who is able to inspire other through their work, and family. All ladies are entitled to be gorgeous and successful. Instead of listening to other people’s success stories, believe in yourself that you’re able to have your own success story as well. “Love yourself, look into the mirror and no matter how you look, or where your past has been, you’re someone special, important. You’re put on this Earth for a reason, for a purpose, with unique talents and skills, and make the best use of it. That’s how you make the greatest contribution to the world,” Adam says.

If you haven’t been reading my blog, you better start reading one. Because from today onwards, I’ll be blogging not only about my own personal experience, but also I'll be sharing with you the secrets of various successful and inspiring people from all sort of lives.
One of the reason why I became where I am today is because I have the attitude of always wanting to learn more. I learn from books, seminar, school of hard-knocks, and many more. Most of all, I am grateful to have the privilege to be able to learn from many successful people that I know.
Just a few days ago, I had this crazy idea, I've decided to interview 10 of the most inspirational people that I know, so that you will benefit too. I contacted them one by one, and guess what?? They were all willing to share their precious time to do my this small little project. I was so excited! Yesterday morning, I actually did my very first audio interview for this project. Guess who was the first person that I interviewed? 
Let me give you a bit of hint: He is young and yet very successfull. He also made his first million by age 26. He is good looking. He wrote many books (you probably read one of his books) He is a peak performance trainer. Hahaha.. enough hint.. just scroll down if you want to know the answer…
In my car, going to meet my first special guest for my audio-interview
He is none other than Adam Khoo ! I first met him about 8 years ago, when he did his talk at my university, NTU. Now he is an entrepreneur, a best-selling author and a peak performance trainer. A self-made millionaire by the age of 26, he owns and runs several businesses in education, training, event management and advertising, all with a combined annual turnover of $30 million. He is the Executive Chairman and Chief Master Trainer of Adam Khoo Learning Technologies Group Pte Ltd and a director of seven other private companies. WOW ! Definitely a lot of things that we can learn from his sharing.
Me and Adam Khoo
In the audio interview that I had with him, Adam shared about his proudest moment (in term of his business). He shared that his proudest moment was when he was able to stepped down as CEO and managing director for his company. Yup… you didn’t read wrongly. I was as surprise as you when I heard that too. But Adam then explain, he said “That shows that the business can run without me, that I build a business that truly runs by itself. I always believe that the test of good entrepreneur is someone who can make himself obsolete.” Also, Adam shared about how he manages his time . I’m sure we all want to know how can he accomplished so many things in his life and yet still can play golf, spend time with his family, and sleep 7-8 hours per day, right?
What is Adam’s hidden talent? What is Adam’s view about Woman & Motivation ? and What does ‘gorgeous’ means according to Adam Khoo ?
All are also revealed in this audio interview. There are so many great things that we all can learn from him. You just need to hear it yourself.
