Allen Chan: Hey guys.
Allen Chan: Welcome to another episode of
our podcast with our Maya here
Allen Chan: and Maya World, where you're
gonna be talking about today.
Allen Chan: Important topic and that's
finding the greater purpose in
Allen Chan: life.
Allen Chan: Hope. Alright.
Allen Chan: Greater purpose.
Allen Chan: Alright.
Allen Chan: Well, we've anything that we do,
we need to define, I mean, well,
Allen Chan: let's talk about my my purpose.
Allen Chan: I feel at different life stage
of your life or journey.
Allen Chan: You may have a different purpose
right when you're young, right?
Allen Chan: It's gonna be different purpose
compared to when you're a bit
Allen Chan: more mature or have family.
Allen Chan: It's a different life stage,
right?
Allen Chan: So I think it's not something
that you find your life purpose
Allen Chan: and that's it.
Allen Chan: It may change, but I think I'm
finding your why so.
Allen Chan: I mean, we were talking about it
a bit earlier.
Allen Chan: So have you searched what your Y
is at the moment or where you're
Allen Chan: at?
Allen Chan: Umm, it's still trying to
discover.
Allen Chan: Sure.
Allen Chan: Yeah, answer for why and it's OK
to to be like that as well,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: So you don't need to know
exactly what it is, but once you
Allen Chan: do, then it's really powerful
right to kind of like what is it
Allen Chan: that you're living for or what's
the reason why you do what you
Allen Chan: do right?
Allen Chan: Even it comes all the way to
like driving.
Allen Chan: Yeah, I feel for example, I'm
not saying hey, links to
Allen Chan: purpose, right?
Allen Chan: I mean back I was your age or
younger.
Allen Chan: I was reflecting on it's like,
OK, I drive, I don't care.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: Because I didn't have a family.
Right?
Allen Chan: So I drive a bit erratically,
right?
Allen Chan: Yeah, not getting to road rage
or anything, but it was just a
Allen Chan: bit annoyed.
Allen Chan: Likewise, this person and you
wanna raise that person, right?
Allen Chan: You wanna prove a point, but now
because the two girls in the car
Allen Chan: like there are people that drive
like that, but I don't
Allen Chan: necessarily get as frustrated as
before because my purpose now is
Allen Chan: making sure that arrive safely
with my whole family or what's
Allen Chan: the point?
Allen Chan: Like before, there was a time,
and then my wife would get a bit
Allen Chan: annoyed because what's the
point?
Allen Chan: You beat that person, right?
Allen Chan: Yeah, you made a point, but you
could be in danger.
Allen Chan: Ring the whole like, you know,
passengers in the car.
Allen Chan: So therefore, you kind of
reflect what's the ultimate goal
Allen Chan: here, right?
Allen Chan: So is it, is it to beat that
person and say, yeah, I beat you
Allen Chan: right or raised you right.
Allen Chan: And I got a faster car.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: Or to arrive at the destination
safely, right?
Allen Chan: So that's the key.
Allen Chan: So what's the question that you
have, right.
Allen Chan: I mean, you had a few questions
to ask.
Allen Chan: OK, question.
Allen Chan: But like what does purpose mean
to you?
Allen Chan: And why do you think it's
important for a fulfilling life?
Allen Chan: What his purpose?
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: For what's the definition of
purpose?
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: So I think it it, it gives life
meaning, right when you find
Allen Chan: your purpose, right?
Allen Chan: What you're gonna be doing
everything.
Allen Chan: And if you don't have a purpose
and and then you you won't come
Allen Chan: to hey, why am I doing we doing
that right or if you set
Allen Chan: yourself a bigger goal and then
you achieve it sometimes it's
Allen Chan: like ohh is this all there is
right.
Allen Chan: So you find another, bigger
purpose to strike from.
Allen Chan: Strive full if that's your
character, right?
Allen Chan: So the reason you have purpose
is to allow you to grow right?
Allen Chan: I feel like now reflecting a bit
more right, so recently had of
Allen Chan: course we have Father's Day, we
had live my anniversary, my
Allen Chan: birthday.
Allen Chan: So it's been a very.
Allen Chan: Writing like weeks and I reflect
on some photos and I put that
Allen Chan: meeting that life is too short.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: Or anything can happen in life.
Allen Chan: So therefore why I have these
purposes?
Allen Chan: Because you just making yourself
purposeful.
Allen Chan: That's one thing, right?
Allen Chan: Give your life a bit more
meaning, right?
Allen Chan: So I'm at that life stage where,
hey, I'm doing it with more
Allen Chan: legacy and impact, right?
Allen Chan: That's my drive.
Allen Chan: If you were to ask me 10 years
ago or even earlier, maybe to
Allen Chan: make money, right.
Allen Chan: So that's the purpose.
Allen Chan: So I feel like it's gonna change
as you mature or life
Allen Chan: circumstances come in the way
and it's like kind of that art
Allen Chan: that it's that artful question.
Allen Chan: Why?
Allen Chan: Because what's purposeful for me
doesn't mean necessarily
Allen Chan: purposeful for you.
Allen Chan: Right, But what I find is useful
and maybe you could answer some
Allen Chan: of the questions down the track
is like in this moment in time.
Allen Chan: What is it that you like and
enjoy doing right when you say,
Allen Chan: hey, life is too short?
Allen Chan: Then what it means is that I
don't want to do things that I
Allen Chan: don't like doing right?
Allen Chan: What is it that that you enjoy
now?
Allen Chan: Now, having said that, there's
some like greater goals that
Allen Chan: needs to do the unnecessarily
things right.
Allen Chan: The hard work, which may not be
enjoyable, but having that
Allen Chan: enough patience to kind of like
reach out you progressing
Allen Chan: towards its attainment, right?
Allen Chan: Yeah, I feel that by having a
greater purpose, it allows you
Allen Chan: to grow when you grow like you
have more skills, you become a
Allen Chan: bit more fulfilled, right?
Allen Chan: Because your life progressing
right compared to when I was a
Allen Chan: young kid now is that mean I'm
more happier?
Allen Chan: Like I learned some tools,
right?
Allen Chan: And this is one of them having
your purpose.
Allen Chan: This gives you a bit of
motivation.
Allen Chan: Why you're doing what you're
doing?
Allen Chan: Like, do I get excited Monday?
Allen Chan: Not all the time, but it does
tell me what we often go.
Allen Chan: Hey, why are we doing this?
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: So you wouldn't answer some
questions, right?
Allen Chan: So either an empowering one or
disempowering one.
Allen Chan: Is that Help?
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: Umm, thank you events in your
life when you feel connected to
Allen Chan: your letter for. Uh.
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: So that's basically when I first
joined the gal Kalinga like in
Allen Chan: the Philippines, UMI kinda
realized right?
Allen Chan: Because I grew up in an Asian
country in Hong Kong, to be
Allen Chan: specific, like we were already
in a in a concrete jungle.
Allen Chan: So it's not like those kind of
like places that you climb a
Allen Chan: tree, right?
Allen Chan: So brought up in modern society,
so to say, me and my sister.
Allen Chan: So when I went to 2010 and back
to Philippines, where it's very
Allen Chan: like some places are bit were
all like it's not as advanced.
Allen Chan: But what I realized is that it
was probably the most happiest
Allen Chan: time in my life, right?
Allen Chan: Connecting like yourself, I know
you like nature like it's just
Allen Chan: been a kid again, right?
Allen Chan: Climbing trees, playing around
and talking to people having
Allen Chan: fun, right?
Allen Chan: Just having things simple is a
lot like a grand meal, but it's
Allen Chan: just a simple meal right?
Allen Chan: And gave me like that
distinction of hope right back
Allen Chan: then I didn't have my if you
call it success or businesses or
Allen Chan: the level of income that I'm
making of course is very
Allen Chan: different.
Allen Chan: But I wish one day I can do
something right, so it's kind of
Allen Chan: like I wish I dream, right?
Allen Chan: So at that time, because I was
working for the bank as a
Allen Chan: graduate and I did have a few
weeks leave, so it was four
Allen Chan: weeks annual leave a year.
Allen Chan: But I asked the question what if
I could do this?
Allen Chan: Umm, you know for a long time,
right?
Allen Chan: Whenever one it still make the
level of money, if not more.
Allen Chan: So it kind of gave me that
purpose.
Allen Chan: What I wanted to strive for, and
it wasn't for me, right?
Allen Chan: It was more how can I come back
and serve again right and
Allen Chan: volunteer again or add value,
right.
Allen Chan: So that's kind of a moment that
I felt, hey, man, I found what
Allen Chan: I'm truly about.
Allen Chan: Like I need to grow, I need to
have more skills.
Allen Chan: I need to earn more like resolve
certain challenges as you go
Allen Chan: along and come with it.
Allen Chan: Of course, like walls having a
family too, right?
Allen Chan: Or whilst being a relationship
too, right?
Allen Chan: So it's kinda juggling things,
but gave me a reason because
Allen Chan: like I mean you we even
listeners out there like we can
Allen Chan: attest that life can be hard at
times, right or challenging,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: Things come up.
Allen Chan: It's not as exactly what you
plan, but you don't need to show
Allen Chan: up.
Allen Chan: OK, this is what's happening.
Allen Chan: What are you gonna do about it?
Allen Chan: Are you gonna cry about it, or
are you gonna do something else
Allen Chan: that's different to achieve a
better outcome?
Allen Chan: So therefore, I've been coming
back to the Philippines, as you
Allen Chan: see my videos.
Allen Chan: Or have you researched a little
bit about myself?
Allen Chan: I just fell in love like just
the simplicity of life.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: And because often we kinda go,
hey, we wanna earn a lot of
Allen Chan: money and you know, do do this
and and the key thing is
Allen Chan: probably getting your time back.
Allen Chan: That's number one.
Allen Chan: You can have a lot of money in
no time, but that's miserable as
Allen Chan: well, right?
Allen Chan: So yeah, you got it.
Allen Chan: A lot of zeros and a piece of
paper with dead people on it,
Allen Chan: and that's great.
Allen Chan: But if your purpose is to really
like, hey, enjoy it holidaying
Allen Chan: and you don't have the time to,
does that really a line with
Allen Chan: their values.
Allen Chan: So therefore, you gotta get
clear.
Allen Chan: What is that you want and why is
it that you want to?
Allen Chan: I think it's very important.
Allen Chan: And then yeah, that's that's
what I'm still doing.
Allen Chan: So therefore, in December, I'm
very excited because I'm kinda
Allen Chan: like doing this for my family
and and you're coming as well,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: So a lot of other people to
experience that journey, what's
Allen Chan: what is their purpose, right.
Allen Chan: And my goal is to purpose is
very different to my purpose
Allen Chan: now, right?
Allen Chan: They're purpose is to study and
and just learn more skills.
Allen Chan: I don't want them to have top
marks, but I mean even I always
Allen Chan: share with them, but I want them
to learn.
Allen Chan: Hey I'm asked this this new
skill where there's
Allen Chan: multiplication.
Allen Chan: There's division or whether it's
playing, whether it's Business
Allen Chan: right, that's that's my purpose.
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: Umm, good to hear that.
Allen Chan: Have you ever you want purpose
evolved overtime like you have
Allen Chan: saved it does change over the
time your purpose in line.
Allen Chan: So have you ever felt lost or
disconnected from your purpose?
Allen Chan: Yeah, for sure.
Allen Chan: Yeah, definitely at different
times, right?
Allen Chan: So I remember this story.
Allen Chan: And of course, when I was 18,
right, you would go to uni,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: So I got into the course that I
wanted wasn't actually music,
Allen Chan: which was what I was studying.
Allen Chan: I got into a course called
Mathematics and Finance that UTS
Allen Chan: and then I was working and I've
been working but this time
Allen Chan: during when I was 18 I was
working full time and back then
Allen Chan: I still remember it was like
after tax may not seem a lot but
Allen Chan: I had like $385 and $485 is a
lot back then right after tax.
Allen Chan: So you kind of questions like,
hey, why do I have to go to uni,
Allen Chan: right.
Allen Chan: I'm making this money anyway,
right?
Allen Chan: So yeah, I'm sure I can be fine,
right?
Allen Chan: Why do I have to study maths and
Finance when trees on my life
Allen Chan: and so forth?
Allen Chan: But obviously the answer is that
I did go to uni.
Allen Chan: I did do other stuff while I was
in UNI and because of that
Allen Chan: experience led to being a
graduate position in NAB, like
Allen Chan: just cascaded, right?
Allen Chan: So and then in the early stages,
like my family grew up not
Allen Chan: having much money.
Allen Chan: So I kinda like always asked
myself, like, hey, where do I
Allen Chan: wanna be?
Allen Chan: Like I I wanted to work in
Privatbank, right?
Allen Chan: So private bank is looking at
the top 1% of bank's clients.
Allen Chan: So you may perceive it.
Allen Chan: There should be rich.
Allen Chan: Little did I learn that it's
not.
Allen Chan: Yes, they are in the top 1%, but
not all of them made money,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: Some of them, like always, had
to extend their overdraft or
Allen Chan: some sort of debt facility.
Allen Chan: Some invest it very well and
then purchase property so you
Allen Chan: get to learn that, hey, not all
rich people like perceive reach
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: Like I was trying to learn what
they're doing with their money,
Allen Chan: basically.
Allen Chan: So I can do the same.
Allen Chan: So then you get to a stage where
very young you wanna earn a lot
Allen Chan: of money, right?
Allen Chan: So a lot of money.
Allen Chan: It's great.
Allen Chan: Then you earn a lot of money.
Allen Chan: Like, what's a lot to you right
at that time?
Allen Chan: It could be 5010 thousand,
100,000 right and then going
Allen Chan: into business, it's not even the
ability to earn.
Allen Chan: They can earn that, but then is
it active income versus passive
Allen Chan: income, right?
Allen Chan: So your purpose evolves because
you go through that experience
Allen Chan: is you achieve certain things.
Allen Chan: I'm sure, like yourself, I like,
you know, in the beginning it
Allen Chan: seemed impossible coming to
Australia.
Allen Chan: Maybe.
Allen Chan: And then you came here.
Allen Chan: Is this all there is right now
you have the European here now.
Allen Chan: So what's your bigger purpose
now? Right.
Allen Chan: Is it to get a job or you get a
job?
Allen Chan: OK, what's the next one?
Allen Chan: Is it a business, right?
Allen Chan: Is it investment?
Allen Chan: So you constantly need to review
and check in and there is no
Allen Chan: perfect answer.
Allen Chan: But if you're not checking it,
and that's where people will get
Allen Chan: a bit lost, right?
Allen Chan: So there's times I feel, you
know, I got a bit lost.
Allen Chan: So other like especially
obviously marrying lie not not
Allen Chan: because marrying her got it says
that the social expectation
Allen Chan: after getting married is what to
have kids right.
Allen Chan: But obviously we did think about
the implications that having
Allen Chan: kids because now in the modern
society having kids is not an
Allen Chan: easy task.
Allen Chan: Why?
Allen Chan: Because my mom always said, hey,
I looked down for ratio.
Allen Chan: I go.
Allen Chan: Mom, it's in the 1980s and
1990s, right?
Allen Chan: One household income could look
after everything and the other
Allen Chan: one is to stay at home.
Allen Chan: But now in Australia, I'm not
sure with the audiences out
Allen Chan: there like it may take two
people to have a comfortable
Allen Chan: lifestyle.
Allen Chan: That's what you choose to.
Allen Chan: So therefore, juggling kids with
their education or support
Allen Chan: activities and bits and pieces.
Allen Chan: Maybe just a bit hectic, like
not to say one, but if you had
Allen Chan: two or more right, it's also a
bit of a juggling act for
Allen Chan: logistics, so therefore at that
time I did get a bit lost
Allen Chan: because especially when Isabella
was going my elder 1 towards
Allen Chan: primary school.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: So because back then there was
childcare, so it was 9 till
Allen Chan: five.
Allen Chan: So you did a good working
business day and then you picked
Allen Chan: up and then with primary school
if you're not using after
Allen Chan: school, our services, right,
you're picking up at 2:30 or
Allen Chan: 3:00, which is what I'm doing
today. Hi.
Allen Chan: Oh my gosh, how can I achieve
that work right then?
Allen Chan: Then I've rephrased it like and
found a bit of purpose and
Allen Chan: reflect on it.
Allen Chan: So I was a bit annoyed, to be
honest at that time and
Allen Chan: frustrated.
Allen Chan: But they now change the like.
Allen Chan: How many dads or people get to
spend more time with their kids
Allen Chan: at school?
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: So changing that, what the
purpose like you know, I know
Allen Chan: they're gonna grow up and later
on, they're gonna have their own
Allen Chan: friends and not talk to me.
Allen Chan: And I kind of like expected
that.
Allen Chan: So what better opportunity now
to connect with them, especially
Allen Chan: after their school and just
checking in to see how they are?
Allen Chan: Because I feel that's what they
will remember the most rather
Allen Chan: than hey, buying them a gear for
doing this and certain things.
Allen Chan: So and why I'm sharing this is
because at a different life
Allen Chan: stage of the business, because I
was focusing on, hey, man, about
Allen Chan: me like like how can I run my
business right?
Allen Chan: It was like if I was just have
little time.
Allen Chan: Well, ask yourself better
question.
Allen Chan: That's the cure role, which I
did.
Allen Chan: But you kind of think of it more
empowering, meaning like, don't
Allen Chan: know, business owners like make
more money and have more time to
Allen Chan: spend, you know, with your
family or the things that you
Allen Chan: choose to do.
Allen Chan: Right, that's the whole reason.
Allen Chan: So therefore, like I'm already
achieving that, so it should be
Allen Chan: proud of that rather than hey,
getting frustrated because
Allen Chan: earning and working an extra few
hours and making like yeah, 5010
Allen Chan: thousand or 100,000, what's that
mean?
Allen Chan: Like if I like, you know,
compared to spending time
Allen Chan: because they they won't be that
same age again if that makes
Allen Chan: sense.
Allen Chan: So that's how I see it.
Allen Chan: And and yeah, you do evolve as
your lice stage changes, if that
Allen Chan: makes sense, right involves.
Allen Chan: Sorry.
Allen Chan: So what are some misconceptions
that people have about finding
Allen Chan: their purpose?
Allen Chan: Misconception.
Allen Chan: I'm well.
Allen Chan: Firstly, they don't.
Allen Chan: They may be scared, like in
terms of finding what is it that
Allen Chan: they really want to do?
Allen Chan: Like I remember when I was
trying to come out and be a
Allen Chan: business owner, right?
Allen Chan: I was kind of forced, right, so
it's kind of like a certain
Allen Chan: circumstances happen.
Allen Chan: And I'm like putting that
position, but I feel you need to
Allen Chan: have that choice as well, right?
Allen Chan: They're afraid to, you know,
confronted because there may be
Allen Chan: scared of not reaching that if
that makes sense.
Allen Chan: That's one way, or they reach it
beyond.
Allen Chan: Like whatever they imagined,
which is my case.
Allen Chan: And then it doesn't stop.
Allen Chan: You have another purpose, right?
Allen Chan: You take on more so Muthu it's a
skill set that throughout life
Allen Chan: you need to be constantly asking
yourself, not not single day,
Allen Chan: right.
Allen Chan: But if you know it does help you
helps you align to progress to
Allen Chan: the next stage.
Allen Chan: And because if you ask that
question, like for example like.
Allen Chan: Ohh yeah, I'm doing it because
of the two girls and my mother
Allen Chan: back in May or may not motivate
you to work a bit harder or put
Allen Chan: in a bit more effort or make you
question like I said, I needed
Allen Chan: to leave around 233 o'clock.
Allen Chan: How can you be more effective
and the behaviour within your
Allen Chan: particular day, rather than
complaining?
Allen Chan: Oh, I don't have enough time in
the day.
Allen Chan: Well, what are you doing with
the day first?
Allen Chan: And then secondly, are you doing
the task a lot longer than what
Allen Chan: you expected to?
Allen Chan: Is that a 5 minute task or is it
really 15 minutes right?
Allen Chan: So your question yourself or
your efficiency, if you know
Allen Chan: your purpose.
Allen Chan: Otherwise, if there's no
purpose, yeah, like yesterday,
Allen Chan: his Father's Day.
Allen Chan: Like I don't wanna kill like I
don't wanna rush your gender.
Allen Chan: Yeah, we're going to flow,
right, but business is the
Allen Chan: opposite.
Allen Chan: You need to know where you're
at.
Allen Chan: Like what you need to decide
right?
Allen Chan: Execute right.
Allen Chan: So it's given me a bit of
balance like I don't know where
Allen Chan: we're gonna go next.
Allen Chan: Ohh could be he could be there,
right?
Allen Chan: And that's kind of good in a
sense, right?
Allen Chan: So it's having that balance, but
two over like not knowing their
Allen Chan: purpose is too extreme, right?
Allen Chan: It doesn't give you that drive
and motivation and doing
Allen Chan: something to like, hey, this is
exactly my purpose and there's
Allen Chan: so caught up on it.
Allen Chan: But you're not missing like the
SNS in life, right?
Allen Chan: That's also the two extreme we
need to be in the middle.
Allen Chan: Is that cool? Yeah.
Allen Chan: Find their purpose.
Allen Chan: Well firstly you need to write
what you skills in that and your
Allen Chan: passion is and I I I kind of
like when I got into mortgages
Allen Chan: like why kind of aligned with
myself is and you know I I love
Allen Chan: people, right.
Allen Chan: So I'm talking to people and
making a difference in people's
Allen Chan: lives, right?
Allen Chan: So I was an artist in the
beginning, right?
Allen Chan: So now I'm like impacting more
businesses and allowing like
Allen Chan: brokers or helping them grow
their business.
Allen Chan: So they achieve the same, you
know, enjoyment or the passion
Allen Chan: that I did myself, right.
Allen Chan: So it's a different ball game
altogether.
Allen Chan: So I think firstly, yeah, I
don't know if you know, like
Allen Chan: when I was in high school, I was
like, yeah, I wanna study
Allen Chan: counting.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: That's me.
Allen Chan: I'm not saying accountant, is
this dealing with numbers?
Allen Chan: You may not necessarily deal
with people like some
Allen Chan: accountants do because they Jack
of all trades, they they do
Allen Chan: everything.
Allen Chan: But you know a little bit, I
realized, like if I was an
Allen Chan: accountant, just doing numbers,
I'll get prior board easily
Allen Chan: because I'm not interacting with
people.
Allen Chan: So I feel for the first step is
to really write down what is it
Allen Chan: that you really like and love.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: And then you go.
Allen Chan: Hey, what is it that I could be
doing right that aligning with
Allen Chan: my values and other thing for me
is like learning.
Allen Chan: I I love learning right?
Allen Chan: I'll give him back.
Allen Chan: So therefore, I guess the gal
Kalinga or the the the the
Allen Chan: charity stuff just see, you
know.
Allen Chan: Ignites me right to kinda to the
next level, you may say.
Allen Chan: Hey, did you make the money?
Allen Chan: Yeah, I did.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: But like I said, like a million,
I'm still trying to striving for
Allen Chan: like, hey, I wanna earn a few
$1,000,000 a year.
Allen Chan: It's just more testing my skill
set than anything, but is that
Allen Chan: more the build than me going to
an immersion trip right may be
Allen Chan: different because now more
around documentation leaving a
Allen Chan: legacy.
Allen Chan: So when we're going to go that
trip, I will have someone to
Allen Chan: kind of document whether it's
video or what we're doing now,
Allen Chan: right, because we don't live
forever.
Allen Chan: But hopefully this recording is
right.
Allen Chan: That's the key, yeah.
Allen Chan: I the thing on one self time and
again helps to find the find the
Allen Chan: true purpose in life.
Allen Chan: Yes, I agree with you there.
Allen Chan: Reflecting is very important.
Allen Chan: Like we opened down, reflect
again a few things.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: You're gonna go ohh.
Allen Chan: And why am I reflecting?
Allen Chan: I didn't.
Allen Chan: I didn't achieve what I wanted
to do, but you gotta be honest
Allen Chan: with yourself.
Allen Chan: Is this serious enough for you?
Allen Chan: Or it's just too lazy, right?
Allen Chan: Because they want don't want to
face the music, right.
Allen Chan: That's number one, right?
Allen Chan: Or they having all these set
goals and then they reach it.
Allen Chan: Is there or there is like I said
right?
Allen Chan: So I think we need to make sure
we have a balance right and and
Allen Chan: list down like what is it that
you love, right and then you
Allen Chan: need to reflect on it because it
may change right?
Allen Chan: Because if you don't reflect,
what happens is that you don't
Allen Chan: even know.
Allen Chan: Like, hey, did I do well?
Allen Chan: Did I not do well?
Allen Chan: When do often people reflect
right, Maya?
Allen Chan: What do you think they reflect
when they face the adversity in
Allen Chan: there?
Allen Chan: Well, yeah.
Allen Chan: True, that's one aspect.
Allen Chan: What's another way that they
reflect?
Allen Chan: So before we go in there and
firstly like could be a health
Allen Chan: challenge, right, that that
reflect.
Allen Chan: Ohh I wasn't doing things like
healthily right or eating or
Allen Chan: consciously choosing right, you
know, like you know, we talked
Allen Chan: about lunch today, right?
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: Upset with yourself?
Allen Chan: But have you been consistently
like that?
Allen Chan: If it's not, then is having a
bit of a balance, but if you hey
Allen Chan: having every week or a three
times a week, right?
Allen Chan: I'm talking about chips as an
example.
Allen Chan: Like you know you would, there's
a reason, right?
Allen Chan: So you need to reflect right?
Allen Chan: What is your goal?
Allen Chan: Is it align?
Allen Chan: Is it what's the reason why I
have to achieve the health
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: It's going back to that again,
right.
Allen Chan: So it's really seen where you're
at with reflection, so it's not
Allen Chan: beating yourself over the head.
Allen Chan: It's just seeing what it is and
then what you do differently.
Allen Chan: In fact, I reflect a lot.
Allen Chan: I think a lot right, but it's
more around.
Allen Chan: Hey, what's is it?
Allen Chan: Why is to do better?
Allen Chan: Can I add value right?
Allen Chan: You saw me?
Allen Chan: You have a coaching session with
one of my staff.
Allen Chan: It's like, you know, what can I
do to add value?
Allen Chan: How can I surf?
Allen Chan: That's always be my question.
Allen Chan: So then I kind of look at
things.
Allen Chan: It's like, hey, it's good.
Allen Chan: Like we've done it.
Allen Chan: Well, how can we do it better
next time?
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: Yeah, that it reflection is that
exercise towards that next
Allen Chan: discovery.
Allen Chan: So we don't do that.
Allen Chan: It's kind of like you don't even
see where you're at.
Allen Chan: That's all OK yeah.
Allen Chan: So is it necessary for our for
you to align with our life
Allen Chan: purpose or can they be separate
into things?
Allen Chan: Umm, it's best if you can both
right.
Allen Chan: I enjoy what I do, so when I
wake up, it's like, hey, I know
Allen Chan: I'm meeting with yourself.
Allen Chan: I love doing this stuff right?
Allen Chan: Sharing a little bit documenting
as we go, you know you're
Allen Chan: helping with the website and
certain bits and pieces.
Allen Chan: I'm still selling like through
Mortgage team.
Allen Chan: So yeah, I kind of like if it's
aligned with your work, then
Allen Chan: every day doesn't become work,
right.
Allen Chan: You kind of very motivated and
passionate, but I guess if
Allen Chan: you're not right and you know
you see something that you're
Allen Chan: doing because you doing for
another reason or another
Allen Chan: purpose, right?
Allen Chan: Is there enough threshold right
that you wanna do some changes,
Allen Chan: whether it's through pain or
pleasure?
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: But it's the story in your head.
Allen Chan: We always talk about a lot of
stories, but you know what?
Allen Chan: What is the empowering story for
you, or disempowering right?
Allen Chan: If it's the empowering one,
yeah, you would do something
Allen Chan: differently and hopefully
because some people like you can
Allen Chan: hear like they're at that live
stage.
Allen Chan: Hey, I'm not doing it because of
money because I love what I do.
Allen Chan: That's great, right?
Allen Chan: But I'm kind of like I'd be
greedy.
Allen Chan: How can you have both?
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: So how can you have purpose
still make good money and stuff
Allen Chan: for that, then becomes a bit
more narrow down now it's clear,
Allen Chan: but doesn't mean every job or
everything that you do will
Allen Chan: align.
Allen Chan: That takes a longer time, right?
Allen Chan: Because you're kind of more
refined, right?
Allen Chan: Just like I know there's a
flower and he like, you know,
Allen Chan: you can put any flower.
Allen Chan: But if I want hey, it's a green
rose, right with, you know, this
Allen Chan: amount of size, right?
Allen Chan: Takes longer for you to look at
and search for that particular
Allen Chan: flower, right?
Allen Chan: So I feel let's make it easy.
Allen Chan: Don't make it only throughout my
life, he's like, make it easy.
Allen Chan: So your brain you can achieve
and like they'll go see who
Allen Chan: taught you right, it's your, you
know, voice, right?
Allen Chan: But you make it easy for you to
feel more confident and
Allen Chan: affirmation to build on, and
then you can get specific.
Allen Chan: I do wanna rows that screen and
that's this size right?
Allen Chan: Because then now you have the.
Allen Chan: Maybe the skill set?
Allen Chan: Maybe the connections resources
right?
Allen Chan: UM luck.
Allen Chan: Serendipity right?
Allen Chan: To kinda have that all aligned
at the same time, which I feel
Allen Chan: at times like I don't call it
luck like what I have now, but
Allen Chan: there's still an element of it,
but that's not the main element
Allen Chan: because you do need to go out
there and talk to people you
Allen Chan: didn't need to learn how to
influence, right?
Allen Chan: Whether it's your kids and your
family, right, your partner,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: Yeah, because they may want not
want the same thing, and that's
Allen Chan: OK.
Allen Chan: But you know, they're clear on
what your purpose is and and
Allen Chan: hopefully they can support in
different ways, not necessarily
Allen Chan: monetary could be mentally,
spiritually, right, different
Allen Chan: ways to to.
Allen Chan: But I feel we don't talk and
share enough.
Allen Chan: That's all.
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: So what challenges people face
when trying to find their
Allen Chan: purpose?
Allen Chan: And how can they overcome them?
Allen Chan: Well, making it too hot.
Allen Chan: Like I said, right number one,
it gets so specific like has to
Allen Chan: be this like some people were
like ohh I I will find my
Allen Chan: purpose when I got $1,000,000
and living in the house in that
Allen Chan: status right.
Allen Chan: I'll do it if this happens.
Allen Chan: So it's like a dependent
variable that then make it
Allen Chan: impossible before they even
start, right?
Allen Chan: So and then when they make it so
impossible to start, they go
Allen Chan: see.
Allen Chan: I told you you won't be able to
do it and that's your inner
Allen Chan: voice in your head.
Allen Chan: It doesn't help with the
confidence, right?
Allen Chan: So like every journey, like, you
know, begins with that single
Allen Chan: step just like yourself.
Allen Chan: Like you may have for all
Allen's talking about it right
Allen Chan: about this immersion trip, I'm
not quite sure.
Allen Chan: Look, give my friends.
Allen Chan: Go.
Allen Chan: Go right or those sort of
things, right.
Allen Chan: So there needs to be some sort
of reflection in the beginning,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: They make it that hard.
Allen Chan: Well, first thing is you didn't
have the book.
Allen Chan: All the tickets and all that
stuff, like it's like
Allen Chan: committing, I'm paying it.
Allen Chan: I'm going right?
Allen Chan: So that's number rolled.
Allen Chan: This is the most simple thing,
right?
Allen Chan: Yeah, because you make it hard
for your brain, then
Allen Chan: subconsciously you don't wanna
continue, right?
Allen Chan: I'm not saying everything's
easy, but if you break it down
Allen Chan: into like we talked about the
big elephant example, right,
Allen Chan: break it down into bite size
pieces, what can you do now
Allen Chan: towards its attainment or what
can you do within your ability
Allen Chan: towards it?
Allen Chan: Attainment.
Allen Chan: So it's giving you a lot more
wins right through there.
Allen Chan: So yeah, making it too hot.
Allen Chan: I think that's one thing being
afraid, right that fear and
Allen Chan: anxiety, not bailing right.
Allen Chan: Failure is part of the journey,
right?
Allen Chan: Like you know, if it doesn't
work, you just need to change
Allen Chan: your approach.
Allen Chan: I don't have the time.
Allen Chan: I'm not young.
Allen Chan: I'm not like old enough for I
don't have the money.
Allen Chan: Like, that's the story that
often prevents someone in doing
Allen Chan: something, so therefore it's the
sychology, right?
Allen Chan: It's a story that you have in
your head, right?
Allen Chan: So it's too hard, right?
Allen Chan: Making a story up right, it
doesn't empower you, right?
Allen Chan: That's that, this this empower
you.
Allen Chan: And then thirdly, don't you like
people don't know where they
Allen Chan: are?
Allen Chan: They don't sit down and really
ask these sort of questions
Allen Chan: because even I I don't know with
yourself.
Allen Chan: But I'm like there's friends of
mine.
Allen Chan: There's a lot of friends, but
how many friends can you really
Allen Chan: sit down and have a deep and
meaningful conversation without
Allen Chan: being judged, even though the
way with family, so they don't
Allen Chan: really share?
Allen Chan: Like, I mean, you and I can talk
about anything because we don't
Allen Chan: judge anyone and like we're just
sharing, right?
Allen Chan: So therefore I think if you have
those conversations good, like
Allen Chan: even with my family, I don't go.
Allen Chan: Hey man, this is my purpose
right?
Allen Chan: Because you're just OK or, you
know.
Allen Chan: Ohh it's easy for you to say,
right?
Allen Chan: You know, I mean, they may not
be thinking that, but you know
Allen Chan: you have that element or you
know, you just be careful who
Allen Chan: you share with because there are
the empower you or disempowering
Allen Chan: you, right.
Allen Chan: So therefore I feel they they
don't achieve it or that's one
Allen Chan: of the challenges because
they're afraid of being judged,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: So afraid of being judged right?
Allen Chan: Exactly right, making it too
complex and then, you know,
Allen Chan: having a story in your head,
right, so they fail before they
Allen Chan: start.
Allen Chan: They're the common challenges.
Allen Chan: So what happened?
Allen Chan: Practical states or exercises to
help individuals discover the
Allen Chan: purpose?
Allen Chan: Well, you need to sit down and
have a think time for yourself.
Allen Chan: I think we were talking about
it.
Allen Chan: We didn't go in detail right.
Allen Chan: Think time for yourself.
Allen Chan: Means not doing work or watching
YouTube while you're doing that,
Allen Chan: like asking yourself right, you
may get stuck in the beginning.
Allen Chan: You just like maybe draw a
circle.
Allen Chan: What's my purpose?
Allen Chan: And then, ohhh, yeah, helping
people. Right?
Allen Chan: Making money teaching people
like you, you brainstorming for
Allen Chan: yourself, right?
Allen Chan: I don't know how long it is, but
best to have no distractions
Allen Chan: because if your kids like Ohh
Daddy.
Allen Chan: Yeah, this, this, this like, how
can you find your purpose when
Allen Chan: you're getting distracted?
Allen Chan: And mainly even like doing this
as an exercise.
Allen Chan: May be beneficial for yourself
or for anyone, because how often
Allen Chan: do we sit down and think why
ourselves on our purpose?
Allen Chan: I don't think many people do
that right, but when you do find
Allen Chan: it, then that's really powerful,
right?
Allen Chan: And align with your work even
more powerful.
Allen Chan: That's exciting. I thought.
Allen Chan: I think sit down, capture right.
Allen Chan: What you like?
Allen Chan: What?
Allen Chan: You don't like what makes you
happy from a work perspective?
Allen Chan: What makes you happy?
Allen Chan: Not on a work perspective,
right?
Allen Chan: Like, yeah.
Allen Chan: What?
Allen Chan: What some of the things that I
do to be happy, right.
Allen Chan: One what?
Allen Chan: Some of the things that I've
done, like has been purposeful
Allen Chan: previously.
Allen Chan: Now, I'm not saying the pass
equals the future, but if you
Allen Chan: find something that has you have
a template right.
Allen Chan: So it's like OK when I immerse
like and I share with you right
Allen Chan: in June, I'm there like there's
no Internet reception, no one
Allen Chan: can contact me.
Allen Chan: I'm just.
Allen Chan: They're focusing on that build,
having a good meal like, I'm not
Allen Chan: like, just simple food.
Allen Chan: And I'm not saying, hey, we're
having some extravagant like
Allen Chan: expensive meal and it's never
about the price.
Allen Chan: It's about the people and then
you're sharing the meal, right?
Allen Chan: So then I felt very connected.
Right?
Allen Chan: And then aligned with my purpose
and I just wanna share that
Allen Chan: message to, you know, other
people.
Allen Chan: So yeah, I think you need to be
reflecting yourself.
Allen Chan: If you're not doing that start,
I'm not saying the first session
Allen Chan: that you're gonna do.
Allen Chan: You'll find out what you're
like.
Allen Chan: Purpose is it's a constant
practice.
Allen Chan: I'm sure the next session you've
reflected.
Allen Chan: How I did think about and
ponder.
Allen Chan: Yeah, I'm gonna.
Allen Chan: I'm really like art, right?
Allen Chan: You know the reason I like art
is because it really helps me
Allen Chan: portray my point of view to
other people in a different
Allen Chan: medium, right?
Allen Chan: I love to travel right, because
I get to experience it and I
Allen Chan: capture it through videos and
pictures and I share it on my
Allen Chan: social allows other people to
experience the same right as if
Allen Chan: they were there. Right.
Allen Chan: So you mentioned about food,
right?
Allen Chan: What's the purpose like?
Allen Chan: It's just tasting different
cuisines.
Allen Chan: How do they make it right?
Allen Chan: Except certain kinds of food
that you don't eat.
Allen Chan: But that's good, right?
Allen Chan: And it's they do do that, right?
Allen Chan: Why is it?
Allen Chan: How do they do it right, you
know?
Allen Chan: So you kind of like learn.
Allen Chan: I learned something.
Allen Chan: I wanna make it myself, right?
Allen Chan: So does that help right? Yeah.
Allen Chan: I don't know.
Allen Chan: Since you love learning,
learning books, I'm reading
Allen Chan: books.
Allen Chan: So are there any particular
books or courses or mentors you
Allen Chan: recommend for seeking to find
their creative purpose?
Allen Chan: It may look like I don't know
where it says there's Sumption,
Allen Chan: to be honest.
Allen Chan: I don't like reading a lot of
books.
Allen Chan: I do like watching right and
listening right?
Allen Chan: So I do do my YouTube and while
I was walking on the treadmill,
Allen Chan: so I kind of like all my purpose
when I said hey, life is too
Allen Chan: short.
Allen Chan: I look at ways that I can kinda
like have no extra time, so net
Allen Chan: time.
Allen Chan: So can I be doing something
that's beneficial at the same
Allen Chan: time learning right?
Allen Chan: So I'm kind of like not
spending, which may be a lack of
Allen Chan: focus.
Allen Chan: Some people may say, but I'm
just walking, so I'm still
Allen Chan: learning and tentative on that
YouTube and then at the same
Allen Chan: time it makes exercising myself.
Allen Chan: In fact, I've been doing it in
the last like a year and a half
Allen Chan: and it's been amazing for my
health and mental.
Allen Chan: Umm.
Allen Chan: So yeah, I feel like you, you
may assume that I read, but I
Allen Chan: kind of like a visual person on
visual learner.
Allen Chan: I love learning or watching
someone do something right so
Allen Chan: and then experiencing so going
to new places traveling because
Allen Chan: that's a good concept.
Allen Chan: That's how they get coffee
there.
Allen Chan: That's how they get their take
away food, right?
Allen Chan: That's an app.
Allen Chan: That's how you order food,
right?
Allen Chan: It's that curiosity, right?
Allen Chan: I love it.
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: So there's that.
Allen Chan: And so your questions, yeah.
Allen Chan: Do you have no.
Allen Chan: Yeah, like, do you recommend any
mentals or like causes like you,
Allen Chan: even yourself do the online
counseling and all coaching and
Allen Chan: all.
Allen Chan: So like, do you have any mentors
in mind that you could recommend
Allen Chan: our listeners so that they could
find the greater purpose in
Allen Chan: their life?
Allen Chan: Ohh well, I guess I'm not to
plug in our services like we do
Allen Chan: Help right?
Allen Chan: Mentoring and certain things.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: And having that clarity into
what is it that you love?
Allen Chan: And really want that may be a
session there.
Allen Chan: I've feel because mentors are
everywhere like you.
Allen Chan: You know, I'm not a yoga
teacher, right?
Allen Chan: If you're into yoga, you you'll
find different mentors.
Allen Chan: Like I said in one of the
sessions, coach versus mentor is
Allen Chan: very different.
Allen Chan: Coach is kind of like pushing
you beyond what you're capable
Allen Chan: of, right?
Allen Chan: So I always say, hey, Michael
Jordan's coach doesn't
Allen Chan: necessarily have to win all the
premierships and all the
Allen Chan: trophies and so forth, but if
it's Michael, Drill Jordan
Allen Chan: teaching another basketball
player, he's a mentor because
Allen Chan: he's done all that right now.
Allen Chan: All that he's mentoring.
Allen Chan: But if he was right because he's
walked the road, so he's gonna
Allen Chan: give you the shortest shortcut.
Allen Chan: What is the essence or what's
been he's experienced or her
Allen Chan: experience?
Allen Chan: The kind of cut through the long
cut.
Allen Chan: So I give you the shortcut, so I
won't recommend because I'm sure
Allen Chan: you'll find like in your
expertise, right?
Allen Chan: But for me it's more around like
businesses, right?
Allen Chan: They wanna take it to the next
level and there's a reason why I
Allen Chan: kind of love coaching businesses
because I'm more about leverage
Allen Chan: and impact.
Allen Chan: So if you're a business there, I
can take from this level Data
Allen Chan: level B and then you can grow
and have more profits and time
Allen Chan: right then you can come serve
with me, right?
Allen Chan: We can go to a country.
Allen Chan: It could be Nepal could be
Philippines anyway, that we can.
Allen Chan: All right, there's this event
happening where you need more
Allen Chan: people.
Allen Chan: Volunteers because the biggest
challenge in volunteers is not
Allen Chan: saying, hey, people that work in
a job cannot volunteer.
Allen Chan: Of course they can, but they're
restrict it.
Allen Chan: It's not that they can say stay
a few weeks or one month, right?
Allen Chan: Or it could be like they need to
budget and resource and it's not
Allen Chan: a good or bad thing.
Allen Chan: Is that hey, I'm working with
businesses.
Allen Chan: Wiggle be there 3 weeks.
Allen Chan: We got everything sorted right.
Allen Chan: We're we're there on a mission.
Allen Chan: This is our outcome and then
we've got five businesses.
Allen Chan: Then we bounce ideas.
Allen Chan: We come up with better ideas and
and resourcing, right, because
Allen Chan: you may think ohh money is this
one thing.
Allen Chan: Money is just one type of
resource.
Allen Chan: It could be human resource, it
could be physical resources,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: That money cannot buy right
connections, right?
Allen Chan: So that's where I feel it's
important on that side.
Allen Chan: So yeah, hopefully the listeners
finding like I wouldn't test
Allen Chan: them and ask questions like you
know, if you're learning how to
Allen Chan: grow your property PORTFOLIO,
find someone that's got more
Allen Chan: properties than you, at least
you can learn something.
Allen Chan: I often feel like and are they
charging, not charging as well,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: So if it's free, like if they've
retired and doing that
Allen Chan: fantastic, right, if they're not
free, there's a reason because
Allen Chan: they value their time, right?
Allen Chan: It's not that.
Allen Chan: Hey you can get snippets of it,
YouTube and so forth, but you
Allen Chan: might get a very tiny component,
but if you come prepared with
Allen Chan: questions with the mentor or
coach, they probably can
Allen Chan: navigate.
Allen Chan: Have you try this?
Allen Chan: It's still a lot of heavy
lifting from yourself, right?
Allen Chan: Not heavy lifting, just lifting
in general.
Allen Chan: So don't think that the cultural
mentor is doing everything for
Allen Chan: you.
Allen Chan: You need to put in some effort.
Allen Chan: Makes sense.
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: So do you believe purpose is
something that is dividing given
Allen Chan: or something we create
ourselves?
Allen Chan: I think we need to create
ourselves right that purpose
Allen Chan: because, yeah, definitely.
Allen Chan: If you're religious is certain
purpose from a spiritual
Allen Chan: perspective, right?
Allen Chan: And there's kind of some
guidelines and so forth, but it
Allen Chan: was saying what's your purpose
and your business or in your
Allen Chan: health, right?
Allen Chan: It's very different because it's
so different broad topics,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: So I think there's an element
that you need to create right
Allen Chan: yourself, because you are the
biggest motivator, right?
Allen Chan: You know yourself better whether
you're willing to do something
Allen Chan: or not willing to do something
right, you are the one that for
Allen Chan: what?
Allen Chan: What you are here today is a
result of having some sort of a
Allen Chan: purpose like before in time.
Allen Chan: Otherwise you wouldn't get to
with the decisions where you are
Allen Chan: today, because no one's gonna
force you.
Allen Chan: Say, hey man, you need to come
to Australia.
Allen Chan: No one force you to.
Allen Chan: You're forcing yourself, right?
Allen Chan: You created your own purpose and
reasoning why I should be coming
Allen Chan: here, and in fact whether you
stay or go, that's another thing
Allen Chan: that you create for yourself.
Allen Chan: You need to analyze that right?
Allen Chan: So there is a pros in doing it
and it is like colon like which
Allen Chan: is the negative and the positive
and and not doing it right.
Allen Chan: So you just gotta get clear.
Allen Chan: So there's no right or wrong in
this exercise, but I feel if you
Allen Chan: don't have that process, it's a
bit hard, right?
Allen Chan: Because people like asking you
like, even if you were to ask
Allen Chan: your friend.
Allen Chan: Hey, what's what's up?
Allen Chan: What?
Allen Chan: What?
Allen Chan: What's going on?
Allen Chan: What are you doing next month or
next week?
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: I'm just looking at my day.
Allen Chan: I haven't even looked at my next
week, right?
Allen Chan: Because they haven't made it so
important enough for them to
Allen Chan: kind of work on their life.
Allen Chan: So then you become reactive,
like if we were to be reactive,
Allen Chan: we we we both can then you know
we won't be doing any work or
Allen Chan: anything, right.
Allen Chan: So you we become a bit lazy.
Slightly lazy.
Allen Chan: Always say true.
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: So at the end note.
Allen Chan: So what advice would you like to
give to someone feeling lost and
Allen Chan: seeking direction for the life?
Allen Chan: The life well, I mean firstly
change your focus, right,
Allen Chan: because you you are where you
are like ohh you're bit lost
Allen Chan: because you're focusing on
certain things that may not be
Allen Chan: impairing yourself.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: I think even going back a little
bit with your mentors and
Allen Chan: coaches.
Allen Chan: Like, what's someone that you're
spy to?
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: It could be a role model.
Allen Chan: It could be an author, it could
be a YouTube person, it could be
Allen Chan: real person, right?
Allen Chan: Whoever it is like, write that
down.
Allen Chan: Like what are the
characteristics and things that
Allen Chan: your mind them the most right or
what do you think their purpose
Allen Chan: is right.
Allen Chan: If it's good.
Allen Chan: Yeah, you're allowed to copy it,
right?
Allen Chan: Not like in like or from Asian
backgrounds like we're taught
Allen Chan: not to copy, but if it's so
good, like, yeah, I want to be
Allen Chan: like the entrepreneur.
Allen Chan: Or like when they go for
entropies.
Allen Chan: I think like when I go wow
philanthropists like is this
Allen Chan: unlimited money that they can do
whatever they want because money
Allen Chan: is not an issue now, like
they're looking on like giving
Allen Chan: money, not for the sake of
giving money, maybe driving a
Allen Chan: bit more impact.
Allen Chan: So it kind of engaging other
partners to kind of give that.
Allen Chan: So that's why I recently I did
one with my birthday and it's
Allen Chan: like we raised over $6000.
Allen Chan: Yeah, I never thought it was
gonna be 6000.
Allen Chan: I was like a few 1000 and that's
it.
Allen Chan: But you know it's beyond my
because when the purpose and the
Allen Chan: course is greater than enough
and you start marketing and
Allen Chan: talking to other people, there's
good out there that kind of
Allen Chan: aligns to like you align with
people that really wanna help
Allen Chan: because the one that didn't help
didn't donate at all.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: So it's really interesting.
Allen Chan: Yeah, I feel to get like, you
know, it's OK to feel a bit lost
Allen Chan: or not focus.
Allen Chan: But hey, what is it that you
love?
Allen Chan: Sit down, spend some time for
yourself.
Allen Chan: I think that's the key and and
really ask these questions like
Allen Chan: what you see on purpose, like
what, what, what are you trying
Allen Chan: to achieve right?
Allen Chan: Like ultimately right, we talked
a bit about RPM's not now but
Allen Chan: results purpose and massive
action, right.
Allen Chan: What is the result specifically
that you need?
Allen Chan: What is the purpose?
Allen Chan: What's the reason?
Allen Chan: Not just one reason we talked
about the tables.
Allen Chan: How more reasons, right?
Allen Chan: Will be more stable to achieving
your outcome.
Allen Chan: And lastly, the Creole is a
massive action, right?
Allen Chan: Why we don't do the massive
action?
Allen Chan: Well, simple is the story that
limiting yourself, right?
Allen Chan: Oh, you're too young.
Allen Chan: You don't have the money.
Allen Chan: Who do you think you are?
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: Your friends don't approve or
your family doesn't approve,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: So the list goes on and that's
created before you even start.
Allen Chan: So how can you even have a
chance to succeed when you're
Allen Chan: already creating that
disempowering story versus that?
Allen Chan: Hey I'm just using it as a my is
like hey, I've done it before
Allen Chan: because I come to Australia.
Allen Chan: I took risks and chances and I'm
here right?
Allen Chan: I chose to study right.
Allen Chan: If I put my mind into it, I'll
make anything happen, right?
Allen Chan: That's the belief that you have.
Allen Chan: You're gonna be more empowering.
Allen Chan: Doesn't mean you don't face the
challenges, right?
Allen Chan: Challenges come up and then a
tackle it.
Allen Chan: I eat it for breakfast, right?
Allen Chan: I've been doing that right every
day, right?
Allen Chan: If I don't have money, you know
I'll be sharing it.
Allen Chan: Can I raise money?
Allen Chan: Can I do something right?
Allen Chan: Can I save money?
Allen Chan: So therefore you you become more
resourceful and it aligns with
Allen Chan: your purpose, right?
Allen Chan: Because you're growing and you
need certain skills to take you
Allen Chan: to the next level.
Allen Chan: So no one skips any like you
know any easier or or the ranks,
Allen Chan: right?
Allen Chan: You have to go through it,
right?
Allen Chan: But I'm sure there's incident in
your life that you know you had
Allen Chan: that purpose.
Allen Chan: And then you achieved it, but
now you need to find a bigger
Allen Chan: purpose or different purpose.
Allen Chan: True.
Allen Chan: Yeah, the finally.
Allen Chan: Can you share a quote or All
story or a thought that has been
Allen Chan: particularly inspiring you in
your journey towards finding
Allen Chan: purpose?
Allen Chan: I think, yeah.
Allen Chan: Jim Rome would come into buying,
right?
Allen Chan: But let me just pull up that
quote first, right? Yeah.
Allen Chan: So let me just pull it out.
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: So I love it when Jim Rohn's
pass is one of Tony Robbins
Allen Chan: Teachers.
Allen Chan: Now he talks about in his quote
like, don't wish it was easier.
Allen Chan: Wish you were better, right?
Allen Chan: So people complain.
Allen Chan: Ohh my God, this is so hard,
right?
Allen Chan: The two girls always saying,
hey, this is not so hard.
Allen Chan: Like, if you're really
practicing at an early age, like
Allen Chan: when you're in high school, you
need what you gonna say?
Allen Chan: It's so hard, so it's giving you
an excuse not to do it because
Allen Chan: you're not getting better,
right?
Allen Chan: That's the key.
Allen Chan: And then the next one he talks
about, don't wish for less
Allen Chan: problems, wish for more skills
because people are afraid of
Allen Chan: these problems, like man, the
best way to not have problems is
Allen Chan: if you're 6 feet underground and
you're dead.
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: You have no problems, but if
you're alive right, there's
Allen Chan: human interaction.
Allen Chan: There's different stories.
Allen Chan: There's challenges.
Allen Chan: There's problems, right?
Allen Chan: But be grateful for these
problems because you need more
Allen Chan: skills, right?
Allen Chan: You see it as a bigger problem,
like the problems that you like
Allen Chan: resolve like a few years or when
you're young was probably a very
Allen Chan: big problem when you're even
younger than that time.
Allen Chan: True, right.
Allen Chan: You're like, oh, my God, it's
impossible.
Allen Chan: You masters, you expect me?
Allen Chan: No way.
Allen Chan: I haven't even started the
bachelor. That.
Allen Chan: No, no, no.
Allen Chan: And therefore you wish for more
skills.
Allen Chan: That's why Jim said don't wish
for less problems.
Allen Chan: Wish for more skills and then
the last one it was same blah
Allen Chan: but don't wish for less
challenges.
Allen Chan: Wish for more wisdom?
Allen Chan: Because yeah, sometimes it's.
Allen Chan: Not only skills, right?
Allen Chan: So like a challenge is so big,
right?
Allen Chan: Sometimes you need to talk to
and be resourceful about it,
Allen Chan: because we always think ohh
yeah, is this money you can
Allen Chan: resolve most things, but it
could be a connection.
Allen Chan: It could be a skill set or a
passage that you read right, or
Allen Chan: something that you did or nature
that you visited, right?
Allen Chan: So I feel this is always been
kind of really powerful for me,
Allen Chan: right because it reflects right
that hey, I need to get better,
Allen Chan: I need to learn more.
Allen Chan: Like how much have we adapted?
Allen Chan: Right.
Allen Chan: We look at 10 years ago, like
from a technology perspective,
Allen Chan: do you think we have these sort
of blessings that while we're
Allen Chan: talking, there's a transcript
happening?
Allen Chan: While you know recording, we can
kind of upload it and podcasts
Allen Chan: like information nowadays is
just everywhere, but I feel it's
Allen Chan: important to choose wisely where
you believe or access.
Allen Chan: Not even with us?
Allen Chan: You should be looking at
multiple sources to kind of
Allen Chan: determine your thinking right,
because it's just one point of
Allen Chan: view.
Allen Chan: It could be a lot of different
points of view.
Allen Chan: True.
Allen Chan: Cool.
Allen Chan: Yeah.
Allen Chan: No, that's all all right.
Allen Chan: Looking forward, is there other
topics we'll be discussing my
Allen Chan: later on what?
Allen Chan: For coming challenges and the
art of questioning, yes, I'm
Allen Chan: meeting more.
Allen Chan: OK, cool.
Allen Chan: Awesome.
Allen Chan: See you guys soon. Bye.
