WEALTH ACADEMY - CONGRATULATIONS ON BATCH 13

Congratulations to the folks on the right of the photo who completed Batch 13 of Wealth Academy on 18 - 21 Sep 2008.

As I told my fellow coaches, there is always a reason for everything. I am not going to AKLTG to coach for money. In fact, I came out with my own money to be a coach. But why did I spend my weekend there at the expense of many things which I could otherwise do? I sincerely believe that as I meet people from different walks of life, it will inspire me and sometimes I do learn something from the others by understanding their questions, and talking to them. So, there are values I found in engaging conversation with different people.

Thanks Adam for his thoughtful remark at the closing ceremony by framing me as the "Best Options Trader in Singapore". This is despite the fact that my readers jolly well know that AKLTG offers an options trading program and there is a perceived competition between AKLTG's options trading program and the options trading program along which I tag. He does not mind doing the introduction. To me, Adam has inspired my life since I joined Wealth Academy in May this year. I learned so much from him in terms of how to be empowered by doing just simple things every single day.

Conrad? Well, there is nothing more than I can say. This guy rocks and he is what I call one of the best day-traders in the world. Who can compare with him on his knowledge in candlestick patterns? I can't because I am a beginner in candlestick analysis. Actually, I don't need to use candlesticks so much in my options trading as I am primarily a premium collector. However, I found the knowledge in candlesticks a must in my forex trading because there is no premium collection strategy but purely directional play. So, it becomes a MUST for me to learn it.

Thanks Terry for doing a fantastic job as the Program Director. He is an amazing chap with a lot of energy, and he led the team to provide the participants, Adam and Conrad with tremendous support. Of course, to my fellow coaches, you guys are great because I learned something from you too - Kavin, Michelle, Serene, Joshua, Vincent, Bernard, Vivian, Allan, Ruben, Cheryl, Melvyn, Lawrence, Justin, Alicia, Mark (I hope I did not miss out anyone ...)

That's why I keep going back to AKLTG, a place to allow me to be energized and empowered.

Finally, I would like to thank Arthur, one of the participants for providing the picture so that my blog can now be updated with a graduation photo!

So, if you wanna come back to be a coach in WA 14, it's going to be fun.

WEALTH ACADEMY - CONGRATULATIONS ON BATCH 12

After completing WA Batch 11 in May 2008, I returned to WA 12 as a coach on a part-time basis. What I learnt as a coach is the team spirit. The coaches aren't paid for spending time in AKLTG. However, it is the passion that drove every coach to do more than 100% to make sure that the participants benefit from the program.

For those who are WA graduates, I encourage you to seriously consider to come back as a coach. You may not realise the fun in the coach room. There were lots of happenings and with Adam and Conrad in the room, there was fun and laugh I can say.

I always believe a project cannot be accomplished if the team members don't have chemistry. However, this was not the case for this team. Some of us were already friends from POE and some of us were from Conrad's Wealth Academy Trader - like Justin, Sean and Kavin.

The only regret I have is that I missed the happening on Friday and Saturday whereby from word of mouth, our Mr. Terry Seah did a pretty good job in the game we play in WA. As by popularity, Mr. Terry Seah (our Ah XXXX) will be the next Program Director for WA 13, who will be assisted by Kavin Chia - the Assistant PD.

Enjoy!
