What if you had 2 minutes to change a thousand lives?

Earlier today, I watched the video of Simon Squibb pitching MrBeast.

(For context, Simon Squibb is a serial entrepreneur who helped fund the dreams of thousands of people)

It happened by coincidence.

Simon’s cameraman saw Mr Beast while going to the toilet, & they decided to chase him after.

He initially got rejected.

But by sheer grit & resourcefulness, he got a 120-second window in a room to make it happen.

And because he was prepared… because he was sharp… because he didn’t waste a second… he closed the deal.

(He even sealed it with a thumb war, which is legendary).

He maximized those 2 minutes, and because of that, thousands of lives are going to be changed.

Quick thought:

You cannot change lives if you cant even manage your time.

Its good to have goals...but its GREAT if you actually have a CLEAR gameplan to go after it.
𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐈 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐞𝐥 😅

Yesterday, I hopped on a call with a new client. The twist? She’s my current client’s fiancée.

There is no higher compliment (or scarier stakes) than when a client trusts you with the most important person in their life.
But here is where it got funny.

We spent the call digging deep. I asked a ton of questions about her values, what drains her energy, and what truly lights her up.

My goal was simple: To discover the exact path that would be the most suitable for her in this specific season of life.

I’ve done this process 100+ times now.

So, after looking at the data, I connected the dots and shared the strategy.

I confidently told her: "This is the direction that fits you best."
She went quiet. Then she burst out laughing.

I asked, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

She said: "Marc... this is exactly what [Fiancé's Name] told me to do two months ago. I ignored him!!!"

We all burst out laughing.

How many of you can relate to this?

You give your partner (or friend) the perfect advice. They ignore it. Then a stranger or a coach says the exact same thing, and suddenly it’s the best idea ever. 😂

It’s funny, but there is a real insight here.

Her fiancé wasn't wrong. He was dead right.

But reason she accepted it from me wasn't because I'm smarter. It’s because we went through a process.

We filtered the noise. We looked at what aligned with her life right now. And when we arrived at the answer... she didn't just hear the advice.

She understood exactly why that path was meant for her.

That is the difference between feeling "stuck" and having clarity.

One feels uncertain & there's resistance to move forward.

The other feels light because you trust it's the best choice for you.
In short...

Many times, you don't need someone to just give you more tactics.

You need a process that helps YOU see what you’re actually built for...so the execution feels automatic.

That’s exactly what we install in the Master Implementer Workshop.

We don’t just throw advice at you. We build your Personal Operating System so you can stop fighting yourself and finally build a business that fits your life.

(And yes, it might save you some arguments with your partner too 😉).

If you’re ready to stop ever feeling stuck & lost over what to do to grow your income & feel alive again...

#INFO below and I'll send you the details.

You got this.

If you’re someone who is actively working towards your goals, there're 2 powerful reminders to start the week right.

Happy Monday everyone! 💪

14 years ago, I asked my mum to let me cancel my university enrollment.

𝐈 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝'𝐯𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐦𝐮𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬.

Before I even stepped foot into NTU, I was already deep into learning about entrepreneurship, sales, and business.

I'd observed the entrepreneurs around me had more time and presence with their families. Meanwhile, the "proper" route folks looked stressed every morning on the MRT.

So I went to my mum and said: "Can I just...not go?"

She thought I was crazy.

Fast forward to today as a father & lifestyle entrepreneur, I'm genuinely grateful she pushed me through. But here's what I couldn't see at the time...

He trains global clients..but couldn't control his own calendar.

Last week, I was on a coaching call with a client who's certified from prestigious organisations, trained teams from global companies, and doing great work for his clients.

But despite all that success, he was struggling with something many folks face: The Curse of Capability.

Because he *could* help anyone, he felt he *should* help everyone.

Here's what I told him as someone who had to learn the hard way myself…

People thought I was going crazy at my father's funeral

Because while others were in a solemn, grieving mood... I was smiling. Even laughing during conversations with family and friends at the wake.

Many kept asking if I was okay, and I deeply appreciated that.

But here's what they didn't understand.

I was honoring him exactly the way he taught me to.

My father used to say one thing to me over and over: "DON'T WASTE TIME."

And that one lesson has driven every major decision I've made since—from rejecting the 9-to-5 grind, to investing over $100K in coaching, to building a business that lets me work 20 hours a week while being present for Baby K.

Why I used to get angry playing Mahjong (Confession)

It's embarrassing to admit this…but I used to get angry playing Mahjong.

Every Sunday after dinner, we'd play as a family. But we started late. Sometimes until 1-2am.

And the "Productivity Obsessed" version of me was screaming inside.

I was sitting at the table with the people I love most, but secretly seething about my sleep schedule and Monday morning performance.

One night, my ex-girlfriend (now wife) looked at me and said:

👉 "Oh please. If you don't want to play, you don't have to play."

It hit me like a truck because she was right.

From this, I realized I was doing something that so many of us do in business and life...

This is my 5-Minute Ritual that beat 1000+ productivity strategies.

Early in my journey, I was obsessed with high performance.

For the past 10+ years, I studied globally renowned productivity gurus, bought programs, watched videos, read books...so I could learn how to get way more done with less.

But while I was getting more productive & helping hundreds of people along the way...I was also getting overwhelmed by all the possible strategies out there.

That's when I stumbled upon a framework used by 2 partners at Google Ventures.

These guys came from a trillion-dollar corporate environment & had access to the most sophisticated tools in the world...

But their secret to productivity wasn't a complex algorithm.

"You need to be a man of your word."

Earlier this month, I had a client conversation that broke my heart.

He's a successful sales professional making multiple 6-figures, married with two kids. But when I asked about his calendar, his reply stunned me:

"I don't use one. Because deep down, I know even if I write it down, I probably won't do it. So why add to my suffering?"

Then his voice cracked: "Marc, I realized my son is a big procrastinator because he modeled after me."

That hit me hard as a new father.

What I realized next changed everything...

"I think we can only afford Malaysia this year."

That's what I told my girlfriend (now wife) when she asked where we should travel for our end-of-year holidays.

After investing over $30,000 in courses, workshops, and seminars for 10+ years... I was still stuck in the exact place I was trying to avoid.

I felt frustrated. Like a failure. Like I wasn't good enough.

That night, I had two choices: give up and just save my way to the future I wanted, or take MASSIVE action.

A few days later, something changed everything...

The Loving Husband Who Couldn't Sleep With His Wife.

A year ago, a client came to me with a problem that shook me.

On the outside, he had it all—running a family business, coaching leaders, bringing in decent revenue.

But when we got on the call, he admitted something that stopped me cold:
"Marc, it got so bad... I can't even sleep with my wife anymore."

Here's what he meant: He was working until 5-6 AM regularly, and because he didn't want to wake his wife up when he finally crashed, he'd sleep on the couch.

The more he did it, the more normal it got.

When we started working together, I thought we'd focus on business strategy. But I realized that wasn't the real problem.

The real problem was he'd built a business that was eating his life.

I set up Clawdbot to change my life.

I asked it to:
• Stop me from procrastinating or to avoid doing what matters
• Prevent me from playing small & being passive in my life
• Be more courageous, intentional, and focused
• Be a better husband, father, family member, and friend
• Be a man of my word and keep my agreements
• Be more authentic in everything I share & do

I waited all day & nothing happened...then it hit me.

AI can clarify, create, and guide EXTREMELY well & I use it everyday.
But it can’t choose for you.

It can’t feel & overcome fear for you.
It can’t replace you 100% to be more human.
It can't design your compelling vision for you.
AI can definitely help...but that part is still on us.

So I’m curious:

What’s your version of what AI can’t do for you?

Happy Saturday💙

#MasterImplementers

P.S. Was inspired by Bryan Johnson's post to do this!! Super powerful reminder. So nopee, I haven't installed it yet HAHA

P.S. It's less than 2 weeks before the Master Implementer Blueprint workshop.

Yes, we'll give you different AI tools & strategies, but it can't tell you what YOU actually want.

It can't help you choose your trade-offs or make you follow through when things get hard.

(this is why clients who paid multiple 5-figures for coaching programs, AI tools, & mentorship still work with me today)
In 2.5 hours, you'll walk away with:

Your compelling vision for the next 12 weeks (what you actually want, not what you "should" want)

Your top 3-5 priorities & tactics to win (so you stop spreading yourself thin)

Your Perfect Week Blueprint (so your calendar protects what matters)

The systems that make execution automatic (so willpower isn't required)

So if you want to upgrade both YOU & AI all at once...#MIB below and I'll send you the direct link for details.

You'll just need to install this Operating System once & help you make more with less, become more present with family, and live to your fullest potential...forever.

P.P.S. Was inspired by Bryan Johnson's post to do this!! Haha what a powerful reminder. So nopee, I haven't installed it yet HAHA
I Don't Want to Be a Master Anymore.

For a long time, I wanted to be like my mentors — the masters of their craft.

People like Melvin Soh (9-figures in sales), Bryan Ang (8-figures behind the top trainers), Stuart Tan (legendary NLP coach).

I've invested $150,000+ learning from them.

But recently, I realized something that changed everything about how I see my business...

And it's NOT about becoming a master myself.

I’m a "Coder" now!!! 🥳

Well... sort of HAHA

Last night, I spent 3 hours building an AI biz + life coaching bot using Claude Code. Considering I used to suck at Excel formulas, this felt like a miracle hahah

But before you rush off to do the same, hear this:

👉 You do NOT need to learn this right now.

I’m treating this as a fun experiment for my downtime. It is NOT my core priority for this quarter and I have zero guilt or worry about that.

If seeing new tech gives you FOMO or makes you feel "behind"... It just means you aren't clear on your own Strategic Priorities.

There are a million cool strategies out there. The only one that matters is the one that fits YOU.

If you want to stop ever feeling FOMO and get clear on YOUR personal gameplan..."#MIB" and let’s get you focused once & for all.

Happy Monday!

"Why do some people get massive results while others stay stuck?"

This question haunted me for years.

After helping 1200+ folks and 10+ years in this space, I realized the answer isn't about strategy or motivation.

It's something far simpler — and it's the same thing that helped me scale my lifestyle business to 20 hours a week while still having fun during stressful times.

Last week, I put everything I've learned into a private training.

And now I'm giving it away as a bonus.

"I loved today because you were present the entire time."

That's what my ex-girlfriend (now wife) Sharon said after I took her out for an entire day.

I almost teared up because it hit me so hard.

You see, we had been spending loads of time together. Going out. Eating meals. Exercising.

But I wasn't truly present.

I could blame work — it was a busy season with massive opportunities.

But that's when I made a commitment that changed everything...

The #1 Most Powerful Framework I Learned from Warren Buffett

Most people think of Warren Buffett as an amazing investor.

But what most don't realise is he's an even better decision-maker.

It's called the Punchcard Theory — and it changed how I approach every major choice in business and life.

She Quit Her 7-Figure Agency to Move to New York. (Here's What I Learned)

Last week, I attended a sharing by a Singaporean powerhouse who quit her 7-figure agency to build a content studio in NYC.

She's helped scale 100+ brands to 7-8 figures using powerful storytelling.

Naturally, I was excited to learn from her & waiting for the "Secret Hack."

But after her presentation, I felt a little confused.

"Wait... I've heard most of this before."

She was teaching things I already knew & even shared with clients myself.

And then... it hit me like a slap in the face.

If I "knew" all of this... why wasn't I getting her results?

I'm 34 this year, and I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this.

1. I'm not a millionaire yet.

I've invested over $150K in programs, coaching, and mentorship.
Some of the people I learned from? They've built 8-figure empires.

Me? I've generated close to 7 figures online... but I'm not there yet.

And when I see peers my age (or younger) crushing it harder than me or flexing their results online... part of me feels like I should be further along.

Some of it was my own doing. Over-investing. Poor allocation. Not-so-smart financial decisions.

But I'm learning. And I'm building something sustainable... not just impressive on paper.

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐞 "𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐈'𝐦 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐭" 𝐅𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭!!

"I know what to do...but I just can't seem to do it."

This is one of the most common things even my top clients tell me. And when it happens, they assume they're lazy, broken, or need a better system.

But after 2,200+ coaching calls, I've found that's almost never the real reason.

So I created a simple diagnostic framework that walks you through exactly what's actually blocking you — and the specific action to take based on it.

It's helped clients generate multiple 5-6 figures, get consistent with their health, and be more present with their families. It's also what helped me lose weight and become a better dad.
