Prosperous Bum’s Internet Marketing Blog

What’s it with this guy Joel Christopher? He’s known as the Master List Builder, he made his fortune through internet marketing, he networks with people of significant influence, has joint ventures with numerous “Big” names in the business, personal development, internet marketing industry (to name a few). And yet, there is something about this man that is beyond comprehension. What makes him tick? Why does he, in spite of all the wealth, fame and fortune that he’s accumulated, decide to spend time nurturing people to become successful entrepreneurs? Knowing that many of these students are “energy vampires”, simply waiting to plug in their fangs and suck his energy (and resources) dry. The ultimate question I’m trying to figure out here is… What’s it about this man that makes people resonate toward him?

When he arrived in Singapore, he appeared wearing Bermudas and T-Shirt. A warm welcome, a quick hug and we were off to his hotel to help him get settled into Singapore and prepared for our evening networking session. Details of the networking session you can get from Martin, Sam and Jag. The objective of my post is to share with you the things that others don’t get to know about Joel.

Through the journey, we chat about “stuff”, business and social, had a few gossips and a few good laughs. Later into the journey, I realized something strange about the man. He doesn’t flaunt his wealth, did not wear any ‘branded’ goods, doesn’t wear jewelry, doesn’t wear a watch and Oh My! Doesn’t carry his cell phone??? Not a Prima Donna kind of speaker? He flies economy class but when he’s with his family, he flies first class because he wants to give them the best? At this stage, the busy / kiasu Singaporean in me starts to wonder, is this how a successful business person carries himself? Cos the interpretation I have of successful people look like Donald Trump and Oprah Winfrey. So what then is this kind of successful person? Is it the kind that is reflected in “The Millionaire Next Door”? Let’s find out. (more…)

Qn: Do you need to give yourself Permission to become a Millionaire?

Interesting question yeah?

“What do you mean give yourself permission to be a millionaire?”

“Of course everyone wants to be a millionaire!”

Well interestingly, I realised that becoming a millionaire starts with first giving yourself permission to become a millionaire. Let me share with you some experiences.

Many of you have heard of ‘The Secret’ right? I learnt about the Law of Attraction since 1999 but have never really been a faithful user of the law. Thanks to The Secret DVD, I started using the law again. All with a simple mantra recommended by Rev Michael Beckwith on The Oprah Show. That mantra is “I’m available to more good than I’ve ever experienced, realised or imagined.”

What happened over the next few weeks…… well I can’t really find the word but I can only best describe it as magical. (By the way, I still am not the most faithful of users…… not very consistent) The things that have been presented to me as a result were totally out of my expectations or calculations. Here’s what happened.
