How to create a world where everyone wins.mp4

  • My vision is to have a world where everyone wins. 
    • And I strongly believe that it is absolutely possible. Compared to 500 years ago, we are healthier, wealthier, there are more of us, we are living longer and the standard of living has generally improved. 
    • It is extremely possible for the human race to evolve together and to be the best versions of ourselves. 
    • Other people don’t have to lose for us to win. In fact, all of us can win together. 
  • The Law of Precession and the honey bee
    • When a honey bee looks for nectar, it unknowingly attracts pollen on its feet. When it moves from flower to flower, it unknowingly pollinates flowers. 
    • Studies show that if honey bees didn’t exist, we may lose all the plants that bees pollinate, and all the animals that eat the plants and so on and so forth up the food chain. If not for honey bees, human beings might not have even existed. 
    • When the bee was looking for nectar, it inadvertently pollinated flowers. 
    • Throughout history, when people focused on making money (the nectar) they inadvertently created value (pollination). In order for employees to make money they had to be of value to their boss. For business owners to make money, they had to create products or provide services that would be of value to people. But in the process, when people focused on only making money, they end up causing harm as well. Such as, destroying the environment, exploiting people etc. 
    • What Buckminster Fuller proposed instead, was to focus on providing value (the nectar), and inadvertently, you would make money (pollination). 
    • The moment I focused on creating value for my clients, my affiliates, and to the public, my income just increased exponentially. 
      • If I focused only on making money, after I made $10k/month I would not be driven for more. But because I’m focusing on how I can help as many people as I can, it would allow me to naturally make $100k, $300k, $1 million a month 
    • It’s one thing to understand this logically, but the moment you have this paradigm shift and you apply it into your life and business it’ll create quantum shifts for you. The way you do sales and the way you do business would be completely different. Your clients will be able to feel that you really want to help them rather than just to sell them something. 
    • Don’t chase money. Chase value. 

In order to create value, you have to think bigger
  • I am also selfish. The only difference is…
  • The way I see my “SELF”
    • First we look at ourselves as individuals. 
    • Then, we realise that we are part of our family
    • Which is part of our community
    • Which is part of our country
    • Which is part of the world. 
  • My self isn’t Alaric Ong as an individual. My self is the world. 
    • When I help someone else, I’m not helping others. I’m helping myself. Because they are part of me. 
  • I don’t belong to me. I’m a part of humanity. 
  • When I run my business, I run it as though the government, customers, employees, investors, suppliers and communities are all part of me. 
    • My business isn’t just my business as an entity in itself. The whole thing is considered part of my business. 
    • When they win, I win. When they lose, I lose. 
    • They are part of me, and I am a part of them. 
    • The amount of wealth you make can never exceed how big you think. 
      • If you only look at yourself as an individual, it’s unlikely you’ll make more than $10k/month. In order to make $30k, $50k, $100k, $1 million a month, your bandwidth will have to expand. You would definitely have to have more responsibility for your team members, customers, etc. 
  • If I looked at myself only as an individual, I could have retired long ago. What drives me is the fact that I know I’m an instrument to be used to serve humanity. I might not always succeed in helping others the way I wanted to, but for me, if just 1 life breathes better because of my existence, that is what success means to me. 

World 3.0 - Creating abundance and prosperity for the world. 
  • “You do not belong to you. You belong to the universe. The significance of you will remain forever obscure to you, but you may assume you are fulfilling your significance if you apply yourself to converting all you experience to the highest advantage to others. Make the world work, for 100% of humanity, in the shortest possible time, through spontaneous cooperation, without ecological offense or the disadvantage of anyone.” - Buckminster Fuller
  • I realised that the most sustainable way to create wealth is by creating value. As I look back at my career, I realised that one of the main reasons I was able to network with highly successful individuals, was because I was always thinking, “How can I be of value to the other party” rather than “How can I take as much value as possible?”
  • Even when I was 19 years old and I didn’t have any money, connections or experience, I was always thinking, “How can I add value to others?” I was meeting multi millionaires who were over 50 years old and they enjoyed hanging out with me to share their success secrets with me.
  • Even if I can’t give them money, they would share their success secrets with me for free because they wanted someone they could share their success stories with. It made them feel good when they could see the impact that they had made on me. That was considered value to them. 
  • The question you must always ask yourself is “How can I add value?”
  • Now that I have more connections, money and expertise, it becomes easier and easier to meet other successful individuals. And it opens up a lot of ways for us to collaborate with each other.
