The Foreword By Sir John Shin
It’s important to share your stories, whether it’s through a movie or writing a chapter in a book. Each story has the potential to uplift and motivate others to take action towards their dreams. We all have a Landed for Success lesson that can be passed on to the next person.
Introduction: Gordon So
How many of you know someone who has experienced Burnout or been personally affected by it? For many, Burnout has impacted our personal or business lives. For others, it has turned their world upside down. But, most importantly, we want our readers to see that these individuals were able to find their strength and resilience to bounce back in some of the darkest hours. We hope that you too will find your story in their stories and will personally ‘Land for Success.’
Chapter 1: Garage Qualified – Gordon So
No matter where you got started from, a garage, coffee shop meetings, home meetings, hotel meetings, Saturday training, one of the lessons that I have learned to this day is never to give up and never to let anyone steal your dreams.
Chapter 2: Something Negative Can Be Positive – Dan Gray
Navigating relationships in business can be tricky; my experience is that no matter how low things can bring you down, you just have to hold on and start climbing back up.
Chapter 3: Fandom; From Japanese Rockstar to Chief Marketing Officer – Jason Hunt
It’s incredible to see the power a person has when their back is up against the wall without any options. When your mind is set on one clear objective or a wildly audacious goal without distractions, amazing things can happen. You can focus on what you’re best at, push all those weaknesses to the side, and let those who possess expertise in those areas where you have weaknesses take control of responsibilities. But the first step is letting go so you can focus on what you do best!
Chapter 4: The New Way – Keith Williams
If you have a direction, all you have to do is set your sail. Life is all about choices. And I’m so glad I made the decision to pave my own Success, discovering the ‘new’ way of doing things. So keep learning, educating, and expanding your horizons. Take chances and allow yourself to find your new way! It’s so important to find your purpose in life. Once you do, passion and commitment follow.
Chapter 5: Chasing Victory – Lester Bailey
If you simply go after that thing that you want with all your capacity, strength and sagacity, faith, hope and confidence, and stern persistence. If neither cold, poverty, famine, gout, sickness, or pain of body and brain can keep you away from the thing, you want. That’s how I began my victory search for Success.
Chapter 6: Unstoppable – Nathan Balasingam
My success story is that I did not lose my desire to live, succeed, and make a difference in my World. That makes all the difference.
Chapter 7: We Landed – Okezie Oluikpe
“Never lose sight of the great and consoling truth that nothing happens in this World but by the command of God, or at least, with His divine permission; and that, whatever He wills, or permits turns infallibly to the advantage of those who are submissive and resigned” Anytime you find yourself in a valley of indecision, recite this: “The man of ‘decision’ cannot be stopped! The man of indecision cannot be started! Take your own choice.” And it will move you forward into action. To your Success!
Chapter 8: Create A Life You Love – Pamela Geiger
From Burnout to Victory: what does it mean to you? To me, it is the process of traversing the depths of Growth and Embracing the good, the bad, and the indifferent, the boring and the anxiety-inducing. It is Embracing it all. So, embrace the Burnout, Embrace the Growth, and Embrace the Victory of traversing all that Growth and all it has brought you! I want to restore faith in humanity, prove to the world that there is always a light in the dark, and remind people to BE KIND. Sometimes we have to be the light for others, and sometimes others are the light for us.
Chapter 9: The Importance of Time in Life and Business – Paul Joseph
I have experienced both the effects of being wealthy and losing everything. It was an eye-opener at a young age. But my parents had given me all that they could at that moment. Being an only child has that effect. It brought me to be Co-founder of 24H Virtual.
Chapter 10: From Victim to Influencer – Rick Kaye
In my journey from Burnout to victory, I’ve learned to follow my passions, take calculated risks, use my skills in a way that’s authentic to my personality, and keep working towards becoming my best self. Two mentors of mine helped me have gratitude for everything I’ve gone through because it’s all shaped me into who I am today. I have so much to offer the World. It’s my time to shine!
Chapter 11: Never Stop Believing – Robert Polk
The word fear has more power than anyone can imagine. It can suffocate your belief to dream and rob you of truly living to your fullest potential. It has the ability to make you feel alone in a crowded room, isolated, and, for some, a deep-rooted faze of depression that most don’t recover from. The hope and desires that were once motivated by just thought are now a distant memory of what could have been. I know this firsthand because that was me at one point in my life. Yet, I never stop believing—believing that it’s possible. “Your true measure of growth is determined by what you are willing to let go of,” so I had to understand what I was facing and be willing to forgive the past in order to live past it.
Chapter 12: Building A Business – Roy Cleeves
You are never too old to start something new. Everyone can take something you are passionate about and turn it into a very profitable business! So, if things are not going the way you want them to in your present career, put on a brave face and start a new career today!
Chapter 13: Desire – Stephen M. Coon
Desire is the mechanism that activates the universe for you to receive good continuously over & over again. It’s always working to provide you with what you need to fulfill your dream. You will be amazed at how things seem to come from all directions at the very time it’s needed, not too soon & amazingly not too late. It literally comes at the exact time you need it.
Chapter 14: The Invisible Scar – Sutha Arulanantham
I’m successful not because of what I achieved or accomplished, but I never stopped believing in myself, and I never gave up hope. Of course, some days are more difficult than others, but I keep reminding myself that each day is different, each day is fresh, and how we make out of it; is all in our mindset. “This too shall pass” is a quote I religiously live by as time is the biggest healer of all. No matter the setback or the challenges that have come my way or are yet to come, I will continue to grow as I am a work in progress, each time trying to define myself. Until the day when my eyes close for one last time and the sunsets itself into endless sleep: I decided to treat each day as a gift, a miracle, and a new beginning!
Chapter Fifteen: Life By Purpose – Terence Lushington
Be your own conductor in your life, and the World will sing with you. The World is what you choose it to be, but the end results you achieve are what you choose to make out of your life. An Orchestra only sounds beautiful when all of the players are in sync. So be your own conductor in your life. If you do, the World will sing with you.
Chapter 16: Finding The Superhero In You – Tom Chesser
We all have a time in our lives when things have happened that we did not ask for or expect. It is not what happens to you in life; how you react to what happens to you counts the most. I genuinely believe there is a superhero in each of us with superpowers that no one else has. We all face a time of Burnout. Only when we realize that our lives matter and our story can we make a difference we can see our actual God-given superpowers. Yes, you will face adversity, and there will be villains that try to steal your superpowers. Some of them might be your friends, family members, or business relationships. However, you never know when all that could turn around and become a blessing in disguise. So, let’s find the Superhero in you and work together to save the World!
Chapter 17: Gold Mountain – Tony Ning
My life has been blessed with the ability to learn and simplify what I know. I am blessed with the skills to teach, coach, mentor, and help people find their own personal ‘Gold Mountain.’ It is my humble and heavenly mission to empower others. I am so grateful to be able to do it! In addition, I am currently building my global Real Estate agency, where I help Real Estate Agents build multiple streams of passive income as a realtor. That elusive Passive Income is one of the greatest secrets to building wealth.
Chapter 18: Further Away – Zach Greaves
For me, Burnout is a lack of control – of feeling trapped and at the whims of life’s winds. But then, it’s important to recognize that Burnout is an arbitrary concept and can therefore be viewed very much in the same way as mental health. We all have mental health, in both physical and emotional capacities. Consequently, it’s difficult actually to define Burnout, but it’s important to recognize when you are on the path towards it. The dictionary definition of Burnout is ‘physical or mental collapse caused by overwork or stress.’ But I’d argue that you can’t really have one without the other. Or at least, physical Burnout follows emotional Burnout and vice versa. Looking back, I can recognize times in my life when Burnout led to periods of very real depression and anxiety. But then, particularly more recently, I have found myself emotionally and physically exhausted without necessarily suffering from mental ill-health. But the biggest change is that I no longer feel the need to constantly strive and prove myself. The business is strong. I know who I am. I know who we are as a business and what we represent. I am in control of my destiny. I set my own boundaries. I truly know myself, my capabilities, and my purpose. So, Burnout could not feel further away.
Chapter 19: The Light Within Break Free And Fly – Jey Jeyakanthan
Napoleon Hill said, “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” Perseverance and getting back up after life knocks you down will be one of the biggest lessons you will ever learn. I knew that I wanted to work with people who also hoped to make a difference and contribute to the World. Success starts with your own definition! Be ready to step out of your comfort zone, manifest a burning desire, and have a strong sense of purpose. The reward will be contentment! There had to be a secret ingredient missing in the formula to attain everlasting Success. As a result, the final piece for me was to accept failure as a part of my journey. We could only learn from our failures, not Success. With so many setbacks, I am exactly where I’m supposed to be on my timeline. In each failure, I found out a way it won’t work for me, and in the process of elimination, I gained valuable knowledge and insights into what will work!
