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.

You're doing everything right... and it's the problem.

Everyone has a piece of the puzzle…but nobody has YOUR puzzle.

Think about it...

You've probably heard all the "secrets to success":

Think big. Be disciplined. Read more books. Build systems. Master sales. Learn AI. Network. Find a mentor. Be grateful. Manage your cash flow...

And you know what? You SHOULD be doing those things.
But here's what I've learned after 2,200+ coaching calls & serving 150+ clients:

You can be GREAT at many of these things and still not achieve the finances & life you badly want.

Not because you’re lazy or incapable.

But because the real skill isn't just knowing WHAT to do.

It's knowing which ones matter for YOU... right now.

As Hormozi says: massive Information Overload, Implementation Underload.

I'd add one thing:

The overload isn't just information. It's OPTIONS.

Too many "right" things competing for your limited time and energy….which will get worse in the years to come.

You don't need another list of strategies.

You need someone to help you figure out which 3-5 things actually move the needle for YOUR situation, in THIS season of your life.

That's the difference between taking action to achieve every goal you set…versus missing the mark every single time.

You got this.

— Marc

P.S. This is exactly why I created the Master Implementer Blueprint workshop.

Not another course. Not another content dump. One focused session designed to help you:

→ Get clear on your ACTUAL priorities (not what you think they should be)
→ Identify the 3-5 decisions that will move the needle this quarter
→ Design a simple weekly structure that supports execution without burnout → Build the mental models that make decision-making easier — for life
→ Walk away with a personalised action plan you can implement immediately

This workshop has helped 1,200+ entrepreneurs stop spinning and start building with clarity.

We're closing registrations this week: and once we do, I genuinely don't know when we'll run it again. I keep it small intentionally so everyone gets real attention, not just a replay.

If you've been sitting on this... don't wait until the doors close and wish you'd moved.

Reply #MIB and I'll send you the link.
24 hours left: turn your 2026 into a 10/10

Listen…

Registration closes tomorrow at 7:30pm SGT.

This is not “fake” urgency as the workshop starts Thursday night, and I need time to prep personalized guidance for each participant.

Here’s what I know about you:

You started 2026 with drive. You set goals. You took action.

But if I asked you right now: “On a scale of 1-10, how confident are you that you’ll hit your 2026 goals?”

Your answer probably isn’t a 10.

And here’s the thing…

We’re already in February.

If nothing changes in the next 24 hours, what makes you think March, April or May will be different?

The same patterns that got you here will keep you here.

The same lack of structure. The same reliance on willpower. The same “I’ll figure it out as I go” approach.

Think about it.

You’ve got 24 hours to decide on my first “no brainer” invitation for 2026:

https://www.marcteo.com/mib-workshop

You also have zero risk as we’ve a 100% money back-guarantee too.

See you :)

Marc

P.S. Practically speaking, you have two paths:

Path 1: Keep doing what you’re doing. Stay busy. Stay hopeful. And 90 days from now, you’ll say the same thing you said last year: “It’s been tough, but I’m working on it.”

Path 2: Install the operating system. Walk away Thursday night (or after the recording) with your Perfect Week Blueprint, your Daily 5, and the exact accountability systems I used to scale past 6-figures while working 20-30 hours/week.

You’ll be using an installed system to use for life.

So ask yourself:

In 90 days, do you want to look back and think…

“I’m so glad I showed up”

Or…

“I should’ve just done it”

$7 isn’t the risk. Staying stuck is.
