Train The Trainer - By Gerald Chuah

I HAD a fabulous time at Train the Trainer (TTT) Certification. T. Harv Eker’s signature programme held at Singapore Expo from April 14 to 18, 2009. Like 400 other participants who showed up.

I was so glad I went and it was no mistake that TTT was indeed one of the best and most fun, thorough, and complete training course on leadership and training you can find on Planet Earth. The five day intensive course started from 9am to 12midnight daily, but you just don’t feel the time because so many things were happening at the same time.

Time passed quickly as we were totally caught up with the energy, the learning, the sharing and the wonderful people in the room. Now with all step-by-step lessons and template at hand, it is now a matter of practice, practice, and practice to put it all to work and to turn my “training dreams” into reality.

One thing about attending seminars is there are so many things to learn, that if you don’t revise immediately, you may soon forget, so one of the rituals of the day was doing a partner share going through flipcharts hung around the room to recall the lessons learnt.

I took a lot of notes during the seminar to help me recall, after the training so they stay fresh in my mind.

As they say practice makes perfect. This time around Blair Singer took the stage instead of T. Harv Eker. Blair has been a successful businessman and trainer for the past 27 years, so it was amazing to see his passion and dedication in teaching a subject which is close to his heart.

Blair lived up to his promise to make it worth the while, and taught participants everything he said he would, as he knew no other way than to be transparent so he gave, gave and gave, imparting his knowledge and wisdom to participants.

Training is all about connecting with people, and during TTT, we learnt many ways on how to connect with people, from scanning the room, to asking two enrolling questions, introducing yourself, and earning the right, selling your products and benefits, giving an irresistible offer.

These proven formula was given in a two–page template, which makes sense whether you are selling one-to-one, or in front of the stage. It takes a lot of skills, guts and confidence to pull through.

One of the biggest challenge of being a trainer is to stand in front of the room. Without a doubt, one of the greatest fears most people face is wondering what others think about them, which stops them from doing all that they can do.

So one of the compulsory exercise at TTT was Outrageous Night where participants had to go on stage to perform in front of the audience. To me that one of the “scariest moments” and the biggest stretch, worst than the firewalk, and all the other challenges combined.

But Blair knew a lot of people would be struggling with it, so he was sensitive in dealing with the little voice, saying for whatever it is worth, it is only 90 seconds so we should not let it stand in out way or success.

The purpose of the exercise was not to embarrass us, but for us to be in touch with our own greatness for one mere second.

Some people may get on stage feeling like a mouse, but when they get in touch with their bigger self, there is crack, and the bigger person emerge. Blair said if it was about looking good, you can look good enough. So with all the advise, I stepped forward with faith, consciously and unconsciously expecting breakthrough. And even in the dark with the spotlight shining on my face, I looked at the crowd and connected with them.

And for one brief moment I felt I was one with the room, and I could do not wrong. I was energized, people saw it and congrajulated me. I just received their support and love with my outstretched arms.

The lesson I took home that night was sometimes in life we judge others and we judge ourselves, but somewhere along the way we need to let go so we can be free again.

We need to stand from a platform of strength and confidence as for many people, they have been told they were not good enough when young, so it is important to regain courage by feeling strong and accomplished.

Being diamonds in the rough with a lot of polishing to do, the participants were in full concentration to absorb everything they can during the course. One of the most interestings lessons we learnt was about selling from the stage. Harv “appeared” several times to show and guide us on the skills of selling from the stage.

Although it was only a video projection, he was so charismatic we felt as though he was there, speaking directly to us, not mincing his words but giving it straight like what it should be.

As Harv said this is his area of speciality which makes him who he is today, so he doesn’t want people floundering around, taking things lightly because with the skills they now learnt, can take them places, command respect and make money.

Bottomline was everybody was in the room for a reason – to teach, and for most people who come from far and near, there was no mistake.

Think about it, there are 6 billion people in Asia, why are 400 people in the same room learning to be a trainer.

The world needs teacher, and what’s best than to teach what we love and make money.

Altogether there were a lot of exercises, and sharing throughout the five days training, it was hard to remember all of them.

Looking back it seemed unreal that TTT only happened last week, but because the intensity was so great and overwhelming, it was not something that will be forgotton soon.

We will always be reminded again and again what we have learnt, our commitment, and how we performed.

TTT was great from beginning to end and participants got great value from it. It was not just another seminar but one with real benefit and practical value and it is time to put all the lessons to good use.

Exciting highlights from the intense 5-day event:






What Will I Learn from “Train the Trainer”?

Being a trainer is one of the most exciting and fulfilling professions on the planet, but if you’re missing critical knowledge and skills, it can be a major struggle. That’s why most people in the training and speaking arena are poor presenters and don’t make any money.

The secret to success in this business is to learn from the masters – professional trainers who speak to groups of hundreds or thousands at a time and consistently earn massive amounts of money in coaching.

The only problem is that most trainers in this category would never reveal their innermost secrets to success and the psychology behind every move they make. T. Harv Eker, with his team of master facilitators, will!

You will come away knowing exactly how to earn a fortune teaching what you love.
The “Train the Trainer” certification programme will increase your confidence in this arena by a thousand-fold. You’ll be shocked at what you can do once you’ve been properly educated in the intricacies of this field.

“Train the Trainer” will change your life -– personally, professionally, and financially.

Does Money Really Make You Rich?

Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki
reveals
the truth about money

It is typical to grow up believing that if we studied hard, excelled in school and landed a good job, the fairytale of having a luxury car, a dream home and being able to live the good life would come true.

But the reality is, there are many people, including highly educated ones, who work hard for money and yet plunge deep into debt with every dollar earned.

Some take the short cut by placing bets on the lottery. While millionaires have been made overnight, they can become bankrupt just as quickly if they lose all of their winnings to extravagant lifestyles and frivolous spending.

Even today, the downward spiral of the real estate markets has completely shattered the dreams of ordinary people hoping to create wealth. It is worse for those who have been driven out of their dream homes and into the “poor house” as a result of property foreclosure.

Luxury cars, too, have become liabilities as fuel prices increase drastically and people are more concerned about survival than seeing their dreams come true.

It is your knowledge about money that makes your dreams come true

While the recent news over the mis-selling of investment products highlights the importance of financial literacy, it was my personal experience with gold that taught me to take financial education seriously.

Gold was my first real investment as a young adult. I invested in gold before I began my foray into real estate. In 1972, at the age of twenty-five, I bought gold coins when the price of the commodity was approximately $70 an ounce. By 1980, gold was valued at $800 an ounce.

My caution gave way to temptation when rousing speculations about a gold rush spread like wildfire. Gold prices were expected to skyrocket to about $2,500 an ounce! That sparked a buying frenzy among investors, who bought piles of gold, even though they had never done so before.

Instead of selling my gold coins to make an instant profit, I waited, like everyone else, hoping their value would go up. That proved to be an unwise decision. About a year later, prices plunged below $500 an ounce and I had no choice but to sell my last coin. The situation never improved and the value of gold finally bottomed out at $250 an ounce in 1999. In retrospect, many who speculated in gold when it was valued at $800 an ounce, lost huge amounts of money.

Although I was unable to take advantage of the high price of gold, that experience taught me priceless lessons about investing. I realised it wasn’t gold that was going to make me rich. It was the knowledge concerning that asset that ultimately determined if a person became rich or poor.

Having the best golf equipment does not make you the next Tiger Woods

A friend of mine is crazy about golf.

He spends thousands of dollars a year on the latest high-tech golf clubs and nearly every new gadget that arrives on the market. Despite being a fervent fan of the sport, he has never invested a single cent to improve his game. Not surprisingly, my friend’s golf performance remains the same today, although he owns some of the best equipment money can buy. Had he invested some money to upgrade his skills, he would certainly have risen from average to great.

In fact, that same crazy phenomenon occurs in the game of money. Billions of people have thrown their hard-earned savings into assets such as stocks and real estate, but few have ever invested in information that would help to improve their financial knowledge.

A powerful lesson to take home

Many believe that “only the rich become richer”, but that is not true.

Always remember this: it is not gold, real estate, stocks, mutual funds, businesses, or money that make you rich. It is what you KNOW – your financial IQ - about gold, real estate, stocks, hard work, and so on, that will make you rich!
