Hello from the 12th floor of the luxury condominiums owned by Stuart Tan’s company at the PPDI Plaza in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia!

Yesterday, Stuart Tan, Edmund Loh and I embarked on a four and a half hour road trip from Singapore to visit Stuart Tan’s Malaysia office to meet his Malaysian team.

We then dropped off our things at the condo and proceeded to meet some of Stuart Tan and Edmund Loh’s local subscribers and customers for an informal gathering.

Even though it was a last minute meetup, over a dozen people showed up to meet and greet, including my friend, Vince Tan, who also lives in Malaysia.

For about four hours or so, we masterminded and brainstormed to the mostly newbie group about:

• List building;
• Private Label Rights;
• Public Domain;
• Google AdWords, keyword traffic and quality score;
• Systems and processes;
• Search Engine Optimization;
• Social media;
• Video sites
• And more…

It was a good experience for me to get accustomed to yet another culture in a country that I’m visiting for the first time.

I’m definitely grateful that Stuart Tan has taken the initiative to organize this trip because it was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about the cultures.

This information will be really useful for me since I plan to be doing a lot more business in the Asia market, so definitely be on the look out for some cool project announcements very soon.

Hello from Room 1919 of the Celebrity City Hotel in Nanjing, China!

During this Nanjing stop of my Asia trip, I’m actually building a virtual outsourcing team with my business partner, Andy Huang, and we have been aggressively hiring, building and training our team members during the past several days.

We have a lot of exciting developments and new projects in the horizons that involves a wide variety of niches, so depending on what your particular interests and passions are, you may actually have the opportunity to travel with us sometime in the near future if you share some of the same business visions.

I’m glad we decided on Nanjing to build our first official office team because even though this is my first time here, I have already been more impressed with Nanjing in terms of work ethics and business development than the other China cities I’ve visited in the past several weeks, including GuangZhou, DongGuan, ShenZhen and ZhuHai.

And just within the short time that I’ve been here, I have already made some very good friends and business associates, not to mention that my Mandarin has improved significantly as well since it is the only form of communication among all my new friends
In addition to work, I’ve also had the chance to enjoy some Nanjing tourist attractions, food and entertainment…

Within the upcoming few months, there are going to be a lot of changes in the way I run my business, so you may not be seeing too much of me at live seminar events anymore.

That’s because while I do plan to continue traveling, it will be to build and train teams in various parts of Asia (as we grow there), as well as taking on a couple new International projects, and not so much speaking at live seminars as I have been doing for the past year and a half.

But alas, my current Asia trip is still not over yet, as once I leave Nanjing, I am going straight to Macau to take care of more business.

In the meantime, please enjoy the short video below about my experience in personally being involved in the hiring, building and training of a virtual outsourcing team in China.
