SkyQuestCom ranked by Deloitte as Singapore’s #1 Fastest Growing Technology Company

As a winner in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific 2008 Awards, Singapore-based multimedia e-learning company SkyQuestCom experienced the highest level of growth in
the history of the rankings while other industries and markets have been struggling amid a slumping global economy

Singapore, 12 December 2008 – SkyQuestCom was the only Singapore-based company to have emerged among the Top 20 in the 2008 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific programme.

To determine the fastest growing companies, Deloitte calculated the revenue growth percentage over 3 years. Judging from the stringent requirements, making this list is quite an accomplishment for SkyQuestCom, whose leadership has shown the vision and determination to grow and flourish even in today’s difficult conditions.

Mr. Richard Tan, CEO of both SkyQuestCom and Success Resources, insists there is no secret to the company’s success. He puts it simply, "We work harder than others."

Richard’s entrepreneurial spirit and vision have greatly inspired his staff and distributors to achieve incredible results. Overall, companies that ranked on the Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific 2008 programme had an average growth rate of 707%. SkyQuestCom, on the other hand, achieved a sustained revenue growth of an amazing 2,724.33% during this period! This is nearly 8 times the average of the other fastest growing technology companies. This makes us the #1 fastest growing technology company in Singapore and the 11th fastest in the Asia Pacific region. Given today’s up and down economy, it’s no surprise that 2,700+% is a dream that many companies, including MNCs, have found challenging to attain.

“Attracting enough customers to attain such fast growth over three years makes a strong statement about the quality of a company’s product and its leadership,” said Mr. Ian Thatcher, partner-in-charge of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 Asia Pacific programme. He added, “SkyQuestCom has shown the right stuff for growth.”

In his usual humble self, Richard dedicated the win to his staff and distributors. He also revealed that it would highlight the creditability of the company and allow us to penetrate new markets more easily.

Not resting on his laurels, Richard shared this important advice, “We have to be careful not to be complacent. We must continue to work hard and prepare for the challenging times ahead. Let’s make a positive difference in the lives of others and make our world a better place.”

Read the Latest Scoop from Asia Internet Congress 2008

Despite the current financial storm sweeping the world, the Internet still remains a haven of vast new opportunities as discovered by the guests at Asia Internet Congress 2008

It’s not very often that large-scale Internet Marketing seminars are organised from within Singapore, by Asian speakers, for a regional audience.

The 3-day Asia Internet Congress (AIC) was one such event which took place on December 7 at the Singapore Management University. It was packed to capacity with close to 300 guests, who were mostly from Singapore. From marketers to entrepreneurs, the guests, coming from different backgrounds, had gathered to learn how to start online businesses.

But you may be wondering...in these troubled times, should we even be thinking of doing a business?

The statistics tell it all.

Asia has topped the world in terms of Internet usage and cheaper broadband rates means it’s now available everywhere. And industry experts say that the key to doing a successful business online will be from the growing percentage of Internet users who conduct online transactions. Surveys have also proven that the longer someone has been online, the more likely they are to buy more products online.

In times of recession, more people have turned to shopping on the Internet for cheaper deals to reduce daily expenses. Let’s not forget the fact that we are now living in a time where job security is fast becoming a myth and bonuses are being cut. There has never been a better time than now to start an online business, which is low-cost and low-risk.

The guests discovered how to do just that from some of Asia’s leading Internet Marketing experts who gave away their money-making secrets in a truly open way. They even went the extra mile by interacting with the guests during rest breaks and shared their knowledge with those who were eager to learn.

Internationally Acclaimed Financial Guru T. Harv Eker 'LIVE' in UK for the First Time

Extremely popular Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar to educate individuals how to set the right course for financial success and get the savvy to survive lean times

Asia’s largest seminar organizer Success Resources has announced that they would deliver the 3-day "Millionaire Mind Intensive" (also known as the “MMI”) seminar for the first time in the UK.

As individuals around the globe struggle to make it through the up and down days of a fragile economy, the MMI could never have come at a better time. Therefore, it’s no surprise that the MMI has fast become a worldwide hit among millions of individuals from all walks of life.

A brainchild of T. Harv Eker, who is famous for his New York Times best-seller Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, the MMI is more than just a seminar about finances and wealth. It is a “dynamic, innovative and information-packed” program that teaches participants how to act, think and make money the way millionaires do. The MMI uses unique and engaging activities to accelerate the participants’ learning and involvement right from the start. They will be able to learn the habits and strategies of the super-rich and apply what leading financial authorities have agreed to be the world’s “easiest and most effective money-management method”.

As if struggling to survive the economic crunch were not enough of a problem, Eker disclosed another one.

“There is a secret psychology to money. Most people don’t know about it, that’s why people never reach their financial potential,” he said.

Eker then explained that the outer world is a reflection of a person’s inner world and that the lack of money is a symptom of what’s going on inside that person. The solution, according to Eker, to improving one’s financial situation is to first permanently change it from the inside. Using this powerful strategy, Eker was able to rise, in his words, “from zero to millionaire” in just two-and-a-half years.

He also revealed that there is a money and success blueprint that has already been programmed into every individual’s sub-consciousness. And the key to raising one’s income and net worth is to learn how to recognize that blueprint, which could be related to success, mediocrity, failure, struggle, high earnings, low earnings and other aspects of life.

Explaining further, Eker said, “Unfortunately for most people, your current blueprint will stay with you for the rest of your life, unless you identify and change it.”

So will someone be able to change his or her blueprint at the MMI?

"Give me 5 minutes," replied Eker confidently, "And I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life. You will learn how to completely re-condition yourself for financial success. For many people, the change will be immediate and permanent.”

The "Millionaire Mind Intensive" will be held in ExCel London from the 3rd to 5th of April 2009.

Is it truly possible to find that silver lining in lean times?

For the people in Malaysia, you can be certain that they weren’t going to become victims as the nation heads towards a possible recession. They needed a solution to ride out today’s roller-coaster economic conditions and career uncertainties. Fast.

Hence, scores of well-educated men and women from different backgrounds eagerly attended the "Strategies for Financial Freedom" seminar organised by Success Resources. Held in Malaysia on 22 November, the seminar was the people's ticket out of the economic gloom.

As the name suggests, the seminar teaches individuals to empower themselves with strategies and mindsets for financial freedom. In addition, the seminar aims to help them improve their options trading skills.







It is also interesting to note that one is able to profit even in bad times by using specific techniques as taught in options trading, which was popularised by multi-millionaire finance author Robert Kiyosaki and No Money Down’s Robert G. Allen. On top of that, a person does not have to appear physically elsewhere in order to invest or trade. It all can be done over the Internet. It’s no wonder that more and more finance-savvy individuals are turning to options as a relatively simple way to earn secondary income to overcome the cash crunch.



Addressing the participants was Dr. Clemen Chiang, founder and chief executive of the Freely Business School, a private school in Singapore that educates its students on business and options trading. He is also widely recognised as one of the most dynamic pioneers of the options trading coaching industry in Singapore.



Over 4 full days, Dr. Chiang covered a variety of topics, some of which included the following:

• Designing financial freedom
• Accelerating and protecting financial freedom
• Sustaining explosive growth
• Taking advantage of the Freely Method, a unique trading system that was developed - by Dr. Chiang

To date, more than 7,000 individuals have applied winning strategies that they had learnt through Dr. Chiang’s seminars. And with the help of Success Resources, more people from Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Indonesia and Thailand will be able to learn those exact same strategies they can use to weather the financial storm.

It has now been proven that there is a silver lining for everyone even during lean times. Isn’t it about time you found yours?

Mastering the Game of Wealth

Learning to be cash savvy is crucial, as SkyQuestCom’s IDs discovered in
Robert Kiyosaki’s “Cash Flow Game”

Many of us have been brought up to believe our lives are all set if we studied hard, excelled in school and landed a good job. But the truth is, there are many people, including highly educated ones, who later find themselves struggling financially and unable to get ahead, despite working hard.

The problem, says Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki, is that many individuals do not know how to make their money work for them. As a result, most of them end up not being able to tell why they struggle financially because they do not understand the seemingly concept of “cash flow”.

Recognising that lack of financial aptitude among people, Robert went on to create the “Cash Flow Game”, an educational board game that teaches players how to hone their financial skills in the areas of accounting and investing.
SkyQuestCom’s Singapore IDs gathered recently to play the game at the Achievers’ Club, a regular event organised by one of their top leaders, Mr. Aaron Loh. According to Aaron, the goal of the Achievers’ Club is to help SkyQuestCom’s members to embrace the spirit of learning in a fun and interactive way.

Inspired by Robert Kiyosaki’s concepts on the importance of financial literacy, Aaron chose the “Cash Flow Game” to be the focus of his event. By playing the game, members will be able to learn how to weather today’s economy by instilling good money management skills into their lives. On top of that, they can pass on those skills by teaching others to be more financially savvy.

“By playing the Cash Flow Game, players will be more aware of their money habits and learn not to repeat old mistakes. During the game, we try not to spoon-feed the players so as to help them achieve maximum learning results,” explained Aaron.

However, there was more to the game than simply learning how to be cash savvy. Aaron said, “It’s a good bonding opportunity for members. More importantly, it builds trust into them that SkyQuestCom is serious about cultivating a positive learning environment for every member!”
And the response?

“Very positive,” quipped Aaron, “Besides identifying some of their poor financial habits, the players have discovered where the right tools to build wealth are. They are looking forward to the next game which will be held in January.”

Did you know?

Robert Kiyosaki and his team of “Rich Dad” advisors will be coming to Singapore on the
26th of May 2009.

Making The Stage™

T. Harv Eker and Success Resources team up to deliver a special 5-day training programme that empowers participants with winning strategies to captivate audiences onstage.

Making The Stage™ - a 5-day training programme that was held at the Le Méridien Hotel in Phuket, Thailand

“We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”

Although spoken over half a century ago, these famous words by former British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill resonate even today. Like Churchill and many of the world’s greatest orators after him, they had one thing in common. Their ability to influence and hold their audiences spellbound each time they spoke was more than amazing. Today, the success of how we deal with people in business and personal relationships depends heavily on how well we speak and sell ourselves.

On 25th November, 46 participants from different countries in Asia and Europe came together at the Le MéridienHotel in Phuket to learn how to develop those abilities which will help them to shine on the speaking platform.

As you might have guessed from the words “speaking platform”, the participants were not your common lot. They were personally trained by world-renowned Wealth Coach T. Harv Eker and are graduates of the Quantum Leap programme - a series of practical courses, camps and workshops designed to help individuals achieve their dreams of becoming successful trainers, speakers and coaches. Through 5 days of accelerated learning, participants including business consultants, corporate executives, leaders and trainers discovered powerful strategies from a team of world-class experts on communications, finance and business.


Participants giving their full attention to lessons that were taught by a team of world-class experts

Among the experts was “Rich Dad Advisor” and Sales Dogs best-selling author Blair Singer, who gave participants a glimpse of the lessons they would be able to learn.

Following that, Eker revealed the winning strategies he applies as a professional speaker that has helped him to sell more powerfully and earn his millions onstage.

Participants also discovered how to create a quick, powerful and emotional connection with their audiences from Larry Gilman. Gilman is one of USA’s leading acting coaches who has worked with celebrities including Academy Award-nominated actor Woody Harrelson. They learnt how being authentic and honest are the keys to making the difference between a good and great speaker.

All in all, the training programme was a huge success thanks to the world-class experts who have shared their time and knowledge with a talented group of people who were extremely eager to learn. And even if there would be some who would not take to the stage until they are ready in the future, we can be sure that these individuals, with the skills they had learnt, would definitely achieve greater success in their careers and get more from out of their personal relationships.

As a testimonial to this, one of the participants had this to say, “I am now able to stand in front of a room and be able to move my audience more powerfully and authentically.”
Now doesn’t that call for a round of applause?
