Who Am I?

PooiLing’s Childhood

  • I was born in a poor family.  One of the village areas that I came from, had little to offer in terms of luxuries. In fact, we were evicted from my uncle’s home which only amplified our struggles.  Hence it contributed to my strange liking of KFC because we could only afford to eat it once a year… we would be lucky to have a full plate of rice for all our family members.
  • As I struggled through poverty, I was forced to sell handwritten cards to my school mates at the tender age of 10. I eventually ‘upgraded’ my income sources to selling bread in secondary school.

PooiLing’s Situation

  • As the eldest child of a 4 sibling family, the onus was on me to take care of my siblings & retired parents as they are no longer capable of supporting themselves.
  • I guess what motivated me to go all out in Internet marketing is the fact that working for other people will only get me this far. After toiling for 10 to 12 hours a day long into the chilling night, I finally made my ultimatum and declared war against leaving my destiny to others when I got retrenched due to the company’s incompetence.
  • I never really liked working for other people anyway – it made me feel like an unappreciated coolie. Stepping into the office was the thing I dreaded the most because I wanted to go home right away. Don’t even get me started with corporate politics and its horror. You will never feel appreciated no matter how hard you work in this ‘prison’.

PooiLing’s GOAL

  • My goal is to accumulate wealth of over 1 Million dollars in five years time via Internet Marketing. Slaving away in the corporate line only saps away your energy as you have little time left for your loved ones. I believe strongly in early retirement and I want my family members to enjoy the fruits of my labor. This is a critical goal for me because I want to have ample time to educate my next generation, watch as they take their first step and be there anytime they need me and not whenever my boss needs me.
  • I can’t wait to buy a double story house in Desa Park City for my parents because that is what they desire and I wish to do this independently without relying on a man. Call me feminist… but a woman has got to stand on her own 2 feet and only I can make our dreams come true.
  • My goal is to work at home and share my Internet marketing passion with others. I do not resort to price wars as I believe in differentiating myself through quality and value. And once I reach my goals, I would share my trade secrets of success with the world.
  • I am Pooi Ling and nothing will stop me from reaching my goals.
