Financial Revolution 7-9 July 2008

Are You Ready for Revolution?

Frankly, Financial Revolution is the moment where many people change their life, that they realize their mistakes and really take action, well something that also happens in SuperTeen. Financial Revolution was also done at 15-17 February and 4-6 April and I also joined them. Make no mistake that I didn't only joined the sales team, but my team won the 2nd place for the last two Financial Revolution.

Financial Revolution is organized by TDW Resources too, that is owned by Mr Tung Desem Waringin, someone that have done something that is so fantastic and announced to the whole world, last month...

Money Rains in Indonesia!!


In fact, Financial Revolution is such a great event that involved more than 6000 participants, what a great atmosphere, its such a rare experience you know and so I arrived at JITEC late at midnight with Ko Fredy and there we stayed at the Novotel Hotel. Straight at the next day, we joined the event. Something new this time is that each group are accompanied by one TDW staff and for my team, we got Owen. Owen has been working with me twice before, at Financial Revolution at April and also Life Revolution and this time we gotta win the 1st price for the sales team award ^^

Team 2 member: Owen, Pak Budi, Caren,Vonny, Devi, Pak Ali and me.

Thus on the last day Owen couldn't come, since she gotta go to Bali and so at the second day (8 July) she asked me to replace her as the Team Leader passed me the stock list and the HT, it's a great opportunity to learn and also s new challenge of responsibility, but I didn't let her down. You see the problem with this event is that sometimes, we could lost our items and therefore the group leader are responsible for it.

and so we sell different items and Seminars, well my favorite is still SuperTeen ^^ but it's kinda messy since at first we're only told that we're going to sell Smartkid Program, but suddenly Pak Tung also announced about SuperTeen and it's caused a unbelievable chaos that suddenly all the Group Leaders asked about the information at the same time, poor Ko Hendro as our boss haha

Here I also met my old friend Budi Waskita, someone that you'll see on the SuperTeen poster testimony at least in Indonesia...
Rains of Money??




If I learned how to manage teenagers in SuperTeen, during Financial Revolutions I learned something new about how to manage adults or at least older people and the truth is that older people are much more stubborner rather than teens that many of them have soooo much things to complain, well for me it's not too bad since it give a change to practice on how to handle objections.

Furthermore, it also let me learn about how to overcome rejection and keep moving forward, since here I have to work as something like salesman that I have to offer products and seminars to the participants. For me personally it's such an amazing experience that let me improve my self esteem, since many people would probably lose his/her motivation as they're rejected, but then in this seminar, I've proved to myself that I'm a good salesman.

The thing is that many salesman and also sales on this event wander around with forms, but nobody really sell anything and so I challenge myself that I took 10 forms and I promised myself that I'll come back to my table with all of them used and I only need about 20-30 minutes to get 10 customers, well maybe you might think that it's easy, but maybe you should try it yourself since the cheapest product is Paket DASHYAT which is 1,2 Million Rupiah and so I sold 2 of them and many seminars, that mostly cost about more than 10 million, it's such a great experience for me that I won the challenge against myself.

Rather than that I also proved to some people that sometimes younger age didn't mean that we're not worthed to do something important, since in my group at the beginning somebody older act as if he's experienced and ignored my advices and so I challenged him to do as I suggested and I guaranteed that I will works and in the end he even give me some kind of testimony at the debrief ^^ well for me myself, I was so graceful, but then I still need to thank my previous teammates that let me learned so many things. Thanks to some of them that are there such as Pak Andy, Mona, Steven, Liberman, Pak Ali, Stephen, and all the others Thank you so much mate.

Last but not least.....

Me as Bodyguard
(even though some people said that it looks more like gang foto wkwk)

And as the Wind blows… Cya at the Top!!!

Rafting of The Champions

Rafting of The Champions" That's today's headline on blog ^^
Well it actually happens yesterday (20/5/2008), but I posted it today.

Now, before I go on, this is called Rafting of The Champions, because the people that join this event are only those, whose team won the sales team at Financial Revolution (4-6 April) and Life Revolution (25-27 April) at the Financial Revolution my team (Team4) was on the second place, bu then at the Life Revolution we got the first place hehe. Then the TDW Resources Staff and of course Mr Tung Desem Waringin and his family also join this activity.

This is really cool, since I'm quite familiar with the people there haha and some familiar faces, which I've known for years were also there, Ko Fredy, Ko Dickson, Ko Hendro and Kak Mega. Then there are also some great friends of mine there such as, Mona, Pak Andy, Edy, Cia, Kuncoro, Ryan and many more. The rafting took place at Citarik, Sukabumi and it takes about 3hour something to get there.

But first we went to a orphanage to give some donation first and so as we're nearing the rafting place, we had to stop at the Police Station and ask for permision, since we actually can't enter with a bus, then the police accompany us there until suddenly we arrived at a point where we have no other option, but to walk, since our bus was too big and it's risk to move on with it, so all of us went down and walk and the truth is... It's still a VERY long way ahead, but luckily hey got a car to pick us up. The view around this place was very good that it's full of kelapa sawit and some other plants, but I have no idea what they are. Actually it's still kinda risky since it's a container car and we're sitting on the back, so it seems like as if we're on a roller coaster since the road is also up and down wkwk

As we arrived there we ate our lunch and prepared for the best part rafting!! In this case we're divided into 8 groups and since 1 boat can only carry 4 people + the guide and I'm in the same boat with Ko Fredy, Mona and Pak Andy (Team 7 yeah). Before we went to out boats we have to wear the helm, vest and take our oar and of course all of us took some pictures first haha (I'll put them here as I get them). Then the guide also tough us some commands such as, forward, backwards, bum, and stop, so that we know what to do. At first we're at the back, but then we asked the guide to speed up and go for the others, well then we went all around and attacked the other boats wkwk and I also saw some people falling down from their boat.

Team 7: Ko Fredy, Mona, Pak Andy and Me

During this trip we saw some species of surroundings, which are two biawak and water spiders(many of them), well luckily nobody from my boat fall, even though some of us almost fall, but we managed to survive the trip hehe. In fact the trip was fun and entertaining, even though all of us were wet, but I would like to do that again it was fun ^^

In the end, we drank some fresh kelapa/coconut and they tasted quite good. The trip was about 1hour, but then I think it's not too long, then Ko Dickson also said that there is a longer one and they also said so. I heard that it would be more entertaining if we go rafting as it was raining. After we changed our cloth, we went back to the bus and most of us slept until most of us are dying from hunger and the willing to pee wkwk then we finally stopped at a Gas Station and ate KFC for our dinner. Since we all use the same black t-shirt as uniform, some of us might thought that we're gangster or something like that haha

As the result we arrived at Jakarta about 9 something PM and we all said goodbye each other. Then I went home with Pak Andy, Mona and Rudy Lim. Rudy Lim is a young trainer around 26/27 years old and we had some conversation and I think he's quite good then he also invited me to us to his seminar this saturday, well I think I'll come, since I haven't got any orders from my bos haha, well I shall see... Special thanks for Pak Andy and Mona that drove me home, Thank you so much ^^

What I learned today is that sometimes, we need to follow Nike's advice and "Just Do It" well you should know that most of us never went rafting before and some of us even can't swim, but then they Just do it anyway and they feel good, well one last thing to remember... there's an old saying said "Do what you Fear, Watch it Disappear" So no matter what happens or what's in front of you, just face it, well there's always the first time right? So like Nike says "Just Do It"

The Last OASIS Class

So last Sunday (18/05/2008) was the last OASIS Class. In the last OASIS, to be honest it was the hardest translation for me, since we also dis the therapy part that I also have to translate it's kinda hard since I never translate something like that before but then there are always the first right? haha.. Well it's not about the English language or confident, but mostly about the intonation that I have to be careful , but since I already did something like that (not translation) I just conditioned myself to that moments and do translations.

At that moment we took some pictures and suddenly as we wanted to go to mal, one of them came back and with his relative carrying a cake that it was his birthday, so we took some pictures again and ate some cake ^^ thanks. Moving all of us except Melia and Adeline that have to go home (Ken, Ko Dickson, Ko Fredy, Diedra, Elena, Steven and me) went to a car I think it's a baleno or sumthing that size and we all went to Senayan City. It's quite a painful trip that most of us who sit in the back Ken, Steven, Ko Dickson and me myself, we couldn't feel our legs and as we finally arrived was kinda hard to walk.

Meanwhile as we arrived there we bought some tickets for the movie, before we finally decided to wander around the place and refresh ourself and we met Michele Darsono that was a resource on July 2007 and at first she didn't see us, but Steven and me saw her but then I wasn't sure that it's her since I haven't meet her for about a year, so I came up with a crazy idea that I asked Steven "what if we shout Michele? I mean if it's her she would turn back right?" and so we did we shouted her name and she turned around, it's really her haha..

After we had a short conversation with her, we wandered around and waited for Ci Yenny and when she arrived, we ate pizza for dinner and went to the theater to watch Narnia II: Prince Caspian well it's quite good actually, I think it's a lot better than the first Narnia, for me the first one is quite boring, but this one is good, I specially like the battle part, the one on one and the war, but I also love the humor in this movie, you gotta check it out ^^


In the end the film finished about 10.30, well it started at 8.30 and I wandered how I can go home, but then the nearest place I can go with someone is Bintaro, which is with Steven. Fistly we wanted to go there by bus, but since we couldn't find any and it's getting latte, we decided to take taxi. At this point I have to decision first I can go home with taxi from Bintaro or I can stay at someone's house and in the end I end up going to Nickel's house. As I arrived around his sector, we're quiet lost and as we wanted to see the number on someone's house, the taxi move backwards until it bumped into someone's car! OMG!!! And we ran away as fast as we can (luckly we didn't become Wanted person or sumthing like that haha)

Oh yeah and as I finally found Nickel's house, we played some PS2 games first, before we went to sleep and it was quite a crazy night that afterwards I watched tv, after Nickel slept and I end up watching until about 2 or 2.30 and I woke up at 6 before I slept again.. Well I have another story to tell about today (19/05/1008) but I'll save it for later since I gotta go now...
Wish me luck for tomorrow, I'm going rafting ^^ cyaa
