hmm...interesting discussion...seems like a selling thread had
became a debate. hoho.
1. AK became a millionaire at 26. (The company AK started got all
valuable contracts for a major company in sg. Hence it became a
million dollar business. The MD of the company giving the contracts
was Vince Khoo, his father).
2. AK inherited his father's multi million business. The company
was around even before AK was borned. FYI, AK's parents are both
multi-millionare to begin with.
3. The stuff in his books is widely available, esp from others
speakers like anthony robbins, buzan, richard blander, etc etc. He
didn't really created all those stuff he's teaching. He just
renamed and re-phased it. Even some of the stories and examples he
used in his books are exactly the same as robbins's.
For me personally, respect comes from people who lead by example.
If my school teacher keeps coming late for school, who is he/she to
tell me I can't be late? If AK himself did not became a millionaire
through own's hardwork but by inheritance, then who is he to tell
me I should do this do that to be successful?
Although I have a copy of Master your mind book (the stuff in it is
good, a compilation of some success theories from Anthony robbins,
think and grow rich, and NLP stuff) , I dun really respect him as a
person. He may earn much much more than me, but wrongfully claiming
credit is immoral.
But to be fair, he too puts in his hard work. He is a good
marketeer.
If today u are AK's fan, then by all means go all out to do what u
aim. It doesn't matter whether he's good or bad. What matters is at
the end, whether you are successful/achieve ur goal.
