I have a lot of conversations with people about finance – it’s what I do. People will ask me how they can make some extra money, usually with the goal of being able to spend it on something they are interested in – vacations, new clothes, etc. The kicker is, if people would shift their focus from growing their income to growing wealth, they’d put themselves in a much better financial situation. In this video, let's continue to discuss how anyone can become an Abundant Wealth Creator.
What if money was no longer a limitation? What if you had an abundance of wealth to help people and lead a fulfilling life? Regardless of your age or current financial situation, financial freedom is attainable. Better yet, it can happen faster than you think. Wealth is a strategy... and strategies can be learned. The problem is most people were never taught wealth creation at school. It's time to take charge of your financial destiny for you and your family. Why not you? What do wealthy people do so differently? And how can you harness their tools to build lasting wealth? In this video, we continue to touch on the topic, How to Become an Abundant Wealth Creator.
“There are no limitations to how good you can become or how high you can rise except the limits you put on yourself.” – Brain Tracy“Abundance is everywhere. ”We are living in the age of abundance, and we are all looked after by the universe in every single way. Today we will be discussing wealth creation, more importantly, How To Become An Abundant Wealth Creator.
It’s no secret that Americans are falling short when it comes to saving and investing enough for retirement. But as a new report shows, many are disastrously unprepared — and that may point to flaws in the system.
Here’s the Number 1 reason why seniors work well into retirement
The times have changed. At one point in our history, retirement was a given, an all-but-assured final chapter after years of working hard. While some people might choose to work past 65, many look forward to leaving the workforce. Today, enjoying one's golden years work-free has become an unattainable dream for many — even if you find a great place to retire. These days retiring at 65 is looking to be a distant dream. Many people are giving up on the idea entirely. In this video, I will go why working past 65 is the new norm and how it can be prevented.
So, what is a process? A process for everything you do in your business is much like a guarantee. You can guarantee results and assure that you are making strides in a positive direction based on a proven history. In this video, I dive deep and explain why you should be process-driven and the importance of it.

Attachment This weekend I was meditating and I was listening to this spiritual teacher who said that when we were born, we come with nothing and until we pass on, we cannot take anything with us. This idea is awakening for me because when I look back on my journey to financial freedom and building my business, I realized that one of the mistakes I made was the attachment I have to my business. Maybe it's because of the Asian culture - I've seen my mother build and run her business and she has sacrificed all her time, money, and even her health for it. Maybe I learned that from her. That awakening told me that I can build my business, grow myself, and pursue success but I should not get too attached. So many people build their businesses and think that sacrificing their everything for it is the key to success, but I realized that tomorrow isn't always guaranteed. We are here to enjoy every moment of life we have and not to imprison ourselves in the idea that we have to give our lives up to be financially free. Detach yourself from the outcome and your business. Your business is created for you to serve your purpose and not to create more stress. That's a mistake that I made and I hope that this helps more people detach from their businesses and live each moment of life more each day. Enjoy the growth, enjoy the process. Greatness is not built overnight, it's built over time. Take each moment as they come and live your life to the fullest.
When you truly understand the power of investing in great relationships, your whole life will transform. Many people, when it comes to investing, would say it makes sense to invest in mentorship, personal health, insurance, and the likes but would not see relationships in the same light. In one of the previous videos I posted, I mentioned that the quality of your question determines the quality of your life. Why is that? Most of the time, when we need to get something done we ask how we can make it happen. If you change that mindset and ask who can help you achieve your goals instead, you take years of work and trial and error out of the process. Years ago, I wanted to make the transition from investing in single-family homes to apartments, I spent a lot of money on a personal improvement program but after I finished the course, I couldn't get a single deal. One day, I went to the salon and met a lady who told me that she was an apartment investor. I expressed my interest in investing in apartments and we exchanged numbers. After that, she had invited me out a few times, and we would build a connection with each other. She told me about one of their events on apartment investing and asked if I wanted to take a look. I said yes, and I went to take a look - and that was my first apartment investing deal. Imagine if I just tried to do everything on my own, if I did not build that connection with the lady who helped me find my first apartment investment, and if I did not learn from her, I would probably have taken longer to begin investing in apartments. Today I have already invested in over a thousand apartments, and I am very grateful for what I was able to accomplish. Leverage is power. It takes 10-20 years of wasted time and effort and adds more value to your personal and professional life. This is where many startup entrepreneurs struggle - they do not have the network. Relationships take time to foster. It does not form overnight. Think of it as seeds you're planting that will help you gain more in the future. It's not about what you know, it's about WHO you know.

Why is investing in health important in creating wealth? Health and wealth are like your left and right hands. You do not just train your muscles on one hand to be able to use them, you have to train both. That is why I keep on encouraging everybody to work on their health too, even if it is not my specialty. One of the investment strategies I love to teach people is how to use cash-value life insurance to shelter your money and assets. Many of my investors and clients love the concept of this strategy, but not all people are able to do it because of their health conditions. They do not get approved for the insurance because of their health. As embarrassing as it may be, I was one of them too. I got declined because I was underweight. Can you believe they would decline people for being underweight? Since then, I started to work on improving my health and my body. Think about this - what good will it bring if you have a 7-figure income but your health is in poor condition that you can barely enjoy anything? I can teach you world-class strategies but at the end of the day, if you do not have the health to support that, what good will it do you? It took me a while to understand this, but I want you to think about this: Your body is your vessel. Your Maker gave you this beautiful body so you can experience life. Do you consider it a gift? Most of us are born perfectly healthy, but there are many people who aren't. Some of them have no vision or hearing, some lose the ability to speak, some lose their limbs. When you compare yourself to people in these situations, you would feel that what we have is truly a blessing. If you look at life and your body this way, you would cherish it even more. You would take care of it more and give it the right amount of exercise and nutrition so your body can perform at the highest level. We do not have any idea how much stress we put on our body but it's still able to function. I want to encourage you to start to realize your existence and take care of yourself. It does not have to be anything fancy - it could be as simple as breathing amidst a busy day, stretching after sitting on your chair for hours - just a little every day. Once you value something, you will do whatever it takes to maintain it. Treat your body as this precious gift that you should be taking care of so you can use it to achieve bigger success. Today is about yourself - taking care of yourself and valuing yourself. Spend time on your body and think of it as an investment, not an expense. Prevent issues from happening before they even cost you more. Do not wait until you get high blood pressure, a heart attack, or cancer to work on yourself. I am not here to just help you build wealth, but also to encourage you to work on your health. I'm here to help you create a 7-figure lifestyle, not just a 7-figure income. I value you and I also want you to value yourself.
If you would ask me what piece of advice I would give myself, I would say to find the right mentor, be coachable, and do the work. Why is having a mentor so important? Is it worth it to spend money on having a mentor to help you take 10-20 years of trial and error out of the equation or would you rather spend those 10-20 years figuring it out on your own? I have a couple of great mentors in my life right now and without them, I wouldn't have the personal growth that I have achieved. Sometimes, there are moments we get stuck and we become unable to see through the fog around us. Our energy is all over the place and we become difficult to deal with. These moments happen to us all and the best way to get through them is to do it with a mentor. Mentors and coaches see what you cannot and they will guide you and help you move forward. The better you're feeling and the more vivid your path is, the more you are able to function and perform in your everyday life. Mentorship could cost a lot, but it is an investment that is worth making. The return on investment is your personal growth. If you do not have enough to spare for this investment yet, that's okay. When you begin generating more money, make sure to set aside a small portion that will go to your mentorship. Today, I am encouraging you and I am planting these seeds in your head so that when you have the means and you're finally able to make the investment, your mind will be ready.
One thing I have realized being in the financial services industry is that people work for so long and they don't have any investments saved up for their future retirement. When I talk to the age group that's very close to retirement, I find it very sad that they have worked for around 40 years and still do not have enough for their retirement. This is how I realized that it is because of a few things: Nobody taught them how to invest, how to create their own financial blueprints and to follow them step by step, and the importance of being insured and protected. That is why they end up wasting a lot of time. I also talk to a lot of younger adults, those in their 20's, who are already working hard and earning their money. When I ask them what they plan to do with their money, they say they do not know either. It is good that you make money, that is step 1. Step 2, you pay yourself first. Save it and invest it in your future. You can begin with a couple of hundred dollars a month, and create your passive income from there. I can tell you so many stories about all the young adults I've helped who began with a few hundred dollars and have now added millions to their retirement funds. I am so grateful that I can use the knowledge that I have about investing to empower myself and so many other people. When you are younger, maybe in your 20's or 30's, retirement may seem like a long way ahead. But that's not what I mean when I talk about retirement. I do not mean staying at home and doing nothing. Retirement is when you get to the point where you work because you choose to, and not because you have to. If you aren't saving up for that today, what will you have in the future? What is the point of earning money if you are just going to give it back to the businesses? I believe in multiple streams of income and that's why I always encourage entrepreneurs and business owners to set aside a portion of what they earn towards their future investments. This will give you more peace of mind and it makes you less stressed because you know that you have multiple streams of income. You can focus on your business and work harder on it without worrying about your future. Start setting aside a small portion towards financial freedom. Make that mindset shift and stop looking at your investment as an expense. These are money seeds you're planting to grow into a money tree that will support you in the future.
Success is 80% mindset, 20% skillset. Let's say you already have your vehicle to achieve success and you are willing to put in the effort to improve yourself, what would be the best way to get to your goals faster? Find a coach. Last year, my husband was getting his license to fly planes. There are many ways he can achieve this - he can try to learn everything on his own and go through trial and errors or you can find someone who can help you accelerate your progress. Here's what he did - he found his vehicle which is the airplane, he enrolled in flying lessons to improve himself, and he got himself a coach who would guide him and teach him how to actually fly airplanes. It's the same thing in business and everything else in life. It is impossible to become good in every aspect of our lives. Find a good coach and mentor. I just started speaking last year - it has been a very short time since I began. I have seen a lot of people invest their time and energy to become speakers and make careers out of it, but they do not get anywhere. Why? Because they try to do it on their own. I am very grateful for my mentor. I learned how to speak, deliver, and influence. He also gave us opportunities to practice. You can be a world-class speaker but without a platform, what good would it do? Without my mentor, I wouldn't be able to speak on so many stages, on many different platforms. Why do we keep on reinventing the wheel? My trainer has over 15 years of experience. Why would I waste my time watching on Youtube or trying to discover on my own? Would it help me achieve my goals faster? The answer is no. So I decided, I can buy books and learn sales and public speaking, or I can leverage using my mentor's experience of over 30 years in sales and public speaking, absorbing everything I can learn from him. When it comes to success, the keyword is LEVERAGE. If you are a real estate investor, you know how to leverage other people's money. If you are a business owner, you know how to leverage other people's time. To become successful, you leverage other people's knowledge and experiences. Every time I wanted to do something, I always asked how I would do it. But now, I ask myself who can help me make this come true. If you want to build a successful cash flow business, who will help you get there faster? The quality of your question determines the quality of your life.

When it comes to investing, I have always believed that the first step is to have a certain amount of cash flow to get started. You do not necessarily have to be rich to get started, but you have to get started to be rich. When I get consulted by people on their finances, I teach them about a lot of great investment vehicles they can use to grow their wealth. But recently, I realized that a lot of them get stuck in this one area - cash flow. I was there too. When I first came to the US, I did not have the funds to invest right away. Throughout the years, I realized that in order to have financial freedom, the only thing that would help is passive income. Many people focus on passive income but they do not realize that in order to earn passive income, you need to have a vehicle that generates active income.Unless you have a lot of cash lying around, you can invest and generate passive income immediately. However, if that isn't the case, you have to find a way to build a source of active income, whether it is a business or your 9-5, and turn that into passive income. From my experience, here are the 3 keys to building yourself a cash flow engine from your income: 1. Passion Finding the right vehicle will help you generate passive income and have a cash flow engine to help you fund your investments. Find your passion and figure out how to turn that into the vehicle that will help you generate cash flow. It took me several different business ventures to land in an industry I am passionate about. I went through many kinds of businesses and they did not become successful, because I did not have a lot of passion for any of them. Passion is a very important ingredient in finding the vehicle you will use because when you are passionate about what you do, you will not feel like you're working and you will be able to grow it into something that can help you for many years to come. 2. Market Most of the time, people think that it stops when they realize their passion. But the thing is, not all passions have markets that are sustainable. Let's take gardening, for example. Is there a market for that? Because at the end of the day, it is a business that you're planning to build. You need to have a market for the products and services that you are passionate about. 3. Gift How do you choose the right vehicle for you aside from being passionate about it and knowing that there is money in that market? You do not need to be world-class in the beginning, but you have to at least have the skills to begin and start building your cash flow business. You have to find something you consider your strength so that you can further improve and develop it into something you can earn from. Today, I want to encourage you to sit down and dive deep, ask yourself how you would start your cash flow business today. Are you passionate about the vehicle you're choosing? Is there a market that would sustain a career in that industry? Do you have the skills to begin? You can accomplish anything that you want as long as you put your mind to it and if you are willing to take action and make your dreams a reality. Tomorrow, I will give you more tips about making your own cash flow business. See you then!

7. Consistency and Discipline As a coach in the financial services industry, I have met so many people who take their dreams to me and ask for help to make them happen. I help layout plans and keep them accountable for their actions, and while some achieve their goals within the timeline they plan, some do not. Most of the time, people who do not achieve results from their plans and actions are those who are inconsistent and are not fully committed to the process of building wealth. In 2020, I've been very thankful for COVID-19. I'm very thankful because we had no choice but to travel less. In 2020, I started working on my personal health. I started eating right, exercising, and training consistently to get myself in shape. Imagine if I signed up for my coach and I only attended when I felt like it, do you think I would create any results? No, it would be a complete waste of time. Instead, what I do is I show up every single time. I'm never late and I never reschedule. Because of that consistency, I have never felt so alive before. It is the same thing when it comes to wealth creation. Not because you listened to my talk today, you become rich the next day. It takes consistency and discipline. In every aspect of our lives, consistency and discipline are the keys. When it comes to your dream to achieve financial freedom, are you just interested to make it happen or are you committed to making it happen? If you are really committed to making it happen for you, as long as you apply what I teach and these 7 steps, it is only a matter of time before you get the results that you want. I believe that good people deserve to make good money and live life to the fullest. Finance is one of the most important aspects of our life that we should never neglect. I encourage you to start paying attention to your finances - educate yourself, find a financial coach, and take care of your finances.
6. Apply the proven wealth principle I have seen so many people skip this step and focus on just one thing to help them build wealth. The principle is just the same thing. Let's say you want to get healthy, how do you maintain your overall health? Do you just do one thing? Do you just exercise? Or do you just eat healthily? No, you don't. It's the same thing with building wealth. It's not just about one thing - real estate, bitcoin, or stocks. It's about strategy and principle. In getting healthy, you need a complete strategy. You have to exercise, eat healthily and take care of your body. In wealth creation, many people forget the principle and I believe that there's 3 we need to remember: 1. Taxes How many of you really pay attention to taxes? Do you apply the tax principles when investing? It's not about how much money you make that matters, but how much you can keep in your bank account. Taxes are often overlooked and most of the time could cost you more. This is one of the areas I focus on the most when working with my clients. When you look at your portfolio, you may be earning millions but how much do you actually get after taxes? You work hard to earn your money but what if one day, the government decides to raise the tax brackets? How much would you have left? 2. Risk We are all familiar with the risks in investing. Markets can crash and you can lose your money, but as soon as the markets go back up we tend to forget what we went through when it crashed. I always model success to what Warren Buffet said - when it comes to investments, always follow 2 rules:1. Never lose money2. Never forget rule number 1We all know this, but how many of you are actually applying this? 3. Liquidity Liquidity is how fast you can have access to your money. I used to have all my assets in real estate and as a real estate investor, there was this one common thief and it's called "asset rich but cash flow poor". I was one of those investors. In the books, we had millions invested but it takes years to get the returns. So how do you solve the problem? What I did was diversified my portfolio. I created my principal-protected investment and that acted as my bank where I could borrow money if I really needed it. If you want to learn more about these topics that I am talking about, every Tuesday, I host a free workshop to teach people about the principle of investing. Let's go a little bit deeper and discuss how to grow your finances. This happens every Tuesday at 7PM CST, just go to https://www.ahfmasterclass.com to register and know more!
5. Have a diversified investment strategy Like I mentioned, I work with a lot of solo entrepreneurs and business owners and I see that the mistake that we all make is that we only focus on one thing. Maybe you're a business owner and your business is your primary source of income, or maybe you're a real estate investor and 99% of your assets are in real estate but think of this - all markets crash. Years ago, the real estate industry crashed and investors lost the millions that they invested. Today, people see the beauty of the growth of certain industries, but they mostly do not consider the crashes in the market. We become so focused on the beauty of our investments and keep on thinking that the market is always going to get back on track, but it takes time. That happens in all markets, not just in real estate. I realized that it's not one thing that's going to make you healthy. It may get you rich quickly, but it will not be sustainable. It is something you could compare to a house - there are many houses that look beautiful on the outside, but inside, it is not solid. When you build your house, wouldn't you want it to be solid inside and out? How many of you would want to have a house that's solid enough that it could weather any storm that may ever come? If that's what you truly want, having a diversified portfolio is the key. I believe that investing, it's all about strategy. It's not about what kind of vehicle you have, it's about the purpose of the vehicle - the reason that you have this vehicle in your portfolio and if you really know how to use it. I help a lot of people plan their businesses and finances and the majority of them do not know the purpose of the vehicles they have. Some people have a living trust, but they do not know if what they have will deliver what they need when they need it. Let's say you have most of your assets in one kind of investment, it could be real estate or it could be in stocks. When one market crashes, the other one gets affected. For my clients, I create a balance. I have this principal-protected investment that doesn't lose any money when one market crashes. Why is this so important? Because the best time to invest your money is when the market crashes. When this happens, most people look at their money and find that they do not have enough to invest anymore. Your principal-protected investment is what will help you create multiple streams of income. Let's say you have this, and the real estate market crashes. You can easily take from it and invest it so you can grow it. That's how they generate massive wealth. Even Warren Buffet says diversification is the key. If you want to talk about what kind of business

4. Having a plan to have lifetime passive income Many of us aim to have financial freedom in our lives. We want to be able to work because we choose to and not because we want to, we want to travel, we want to do the things we love without worrying about money. In order to have true financial freedom in our life, having a plan to have a lifetime passive income is so important. I have seen the mistakes that people make - they are so focused on building their wealth and growing their income. I think this is also very important, but how do you turn your active income into passive income? Active income is the money you generate while you are working. You could have a 9-5 job, you can be a businessman, a realtor, a coach - but if you stop today, how long will your money last? Let's go back to the house-building analogy. Wealth creation is just like building a house. You don't want to just focus on one thing, which is growing your money. It is important, but not all the time. Personally, when it comes to money, I always divide mine into 3 different buckets.1. Security - my retirement money; money I save for when I get old and become unable to work anymore.2. Growth - money that I can risk; an amount that has great potential, no matter how much the risks are.3. Lifestyle - disposable investments that are great if they would work out, but if they don't, would not hurt my finances. Do not put all your eggs in one basket because if something happens to your basket, your eggs will all be gone. Do not just focus on making more money, but focus on creating a strategy that will help you have a lifetime income plan so you will never run out of money. I want to invite you to start planting seeds in your mind that would help you build your strategy to create passive income that will last you a lifetime. That's your ticket to true financial freedom. I hope today's message added value to your day and if you are interested in talking about achieving financial freedom with me, I would be glad to have a 1 on 1 session with you so we can talk about your wealth blueprint! See you tomorrow!
3. Multiple streams of income I do not remember where I heard about it, but it definitely made sense to me especially last year because of COVID-19. I have seen so many people who lost their health and income because they only relied on one or two streams of income. If you are someone who would love to have financial security in your life, having multiple streams of income is a MUST. If you would only rely on one or two streams of income, what would happen to your family if something happens to it? I am very grateful to marry an amazing husband. He is very successful in what he does and he has been working with a company for over 20 years, but there was this one thing that kept me awake at night - what if one day my husband loses that income? What would happen to our household? There are lots of possibilities and sometimes life-changing events happen and you would be restricted to work physically. At the end of the day, a job is still a job and especially nowadays, job security can be unpredictable. There are a lot of variables out there. I kept on thinking, as a wife, what could I do to support my husband even more and bring additional income to our household? How could I help bring multiple streams of income, businesses, and investments? After the past 11 years, after a lot of trials and errors, failed investments, and ventures, I finally landed in the financial services industry. I am very grateful because I was able to get to know the insider secrets of the industry, so I know how to make it work for me. I know how to make money work for me, to be the master of my own money, and not be a slave to it, and I know how to create multiple streams of income from this business alone. Think about having a "money machine". When I was younger, I always pictured this money machine that would keep on printing us money without having to work. At the time, it was just a dream and dreams do come true. That vision planted seeds in my mind and the opportunities kept on coming to me. I grew to be open-minded enough to take all those opportunities, whether they worked or not. I took what worked, continued to build and expand my portfolio and I decided to learn from those that did not. There are plenty of ways you can earn from businesses and investments. So to add to our list of steps to create more financial success - aside from having a blueprint and having protection, create multiple streams of income. If you need guidance on making this happen, I will be glad to share my personal experiences and even help you customize the vehicles that will work for you. I hope you are not just listening, but also taking time to connect and discover who can help bring these additional streams of income to your life. I'll see you tomorrow!
2. Make sure you have a strong financial foundation Why is it so important to have the right protection plan? The mistake that I have seen many people make is that they are so focused on making money but forget about their foundation. In the previous step, I talked about how building wealth is like building a house - you have to start by having a blueprint. When you finally have a blueprint, the next step you will take is to build a foundation. Why do you need a foundation? Without a strong foundation, anything you will build will eventually collapse easily. Texas recently had a storm and a lot of people lost their homes, power, and water. Nobody expected that we would lose power, but luckily, my father-in-law had a generator. We were able to use it to have power in our home. Similar to protection plans, many people would normally think it is a ridiculous expense and they wouldn't really need it. At the moment, you may not need it, but when you do it is very important to have one. It is always better to be prepared and have insurance and protection and not need it, instead of needing it and not having it. This is the 2nd step out of 7 to create more financial success in life. First, have a blueprint, then a strong financial foundation. If you want to learn more about the 7 steps to create more financial success in life, stay tuned and I will see you tomorrow!
I believe that people deserve to live life to the fullest without constantly worrying about money and that's why I am very passionate about teaching people how to invest and grow their money with this 7 step system.1. Having a well-diversified wealth blueprint Building wealth is the same thing as building a house. What is the first thing you do before you build a house? I've asked this question many times and the most common answer I get is to build the foundation. While this is true, it is not the very first step. Before you even break ground, you go to an architect and get blueprints and plans. How come when we build a house, we understand that we need a blueprint but when building wealth, we don't? This is something I did not learn from my parents or in school, it is something I just learned along the way, along with the mistakes I made. Having a blueprint is very important because of many reasons. It will give you an idea of what you really want to build, it will help you save a lot of time and money, and it will tell you whether you're on track or not. When I help people with financial planning, people often have difficulties telling me what their vision is for their financial future. This is why I ask a bunch of questions and ask what it is that they really want. People would often say, "Angeline, I want to achieve financial freedom", but do not have an idea of what financial freedom looks like for them. There are 3 kinds of financial dreams. There's financial security, financial independence, and financial freedom. I would ask you how much money you want to have for you to consider yourself financially secure, financially independent, and financially free. If you do not have that clarity in your mind, how will you know how to get there? It is like going to the airport and asking for a ticket but not knowing where to go. When was the last time you really sat down and thought about your life and what you want to create for yourself? Today, I want you to ask yourself if you have a wealth blueprint set up, if you know how much money you want to have to achieve a certain lifestyle, and what pieces you need to have together to begin building your financial dream home. When you're ready, you will not be building this financial freedom on your own. You will have someone guide you and help you map it out. If you're already working with someone, that's great! If not, I would be more than happy to be your financial guide. I am very passionate about what I do and I believe that everybody deserves to live life without constantly worrying about money. In the next few days, I will share more of the 7 steps to create more financial success in your life. Stay tuned and see you tomorrow!

Life is not a destination, it is a never-ending journey. Recently, I had this awakening inside of me. I used to think that life is all about achievement - doing the best at the highest level. That was my perception of life. I'm not sure if you've seen the movie Soul, but it is a great movie and I highly recommend that you watch it. In the movie, it takes forever for her to come to the planet Earth because she couldn't find her spark. She thought that the spark is supposed to be some kind of passion, like to be an artist or a musician. Later on, she realized that life wasn't about passion for certain things - it was about passion for life itself. Growing up in an Asian family, our parents always had high standards for us. We were expected to work hard and soar in everything that we do. That was the kind of standard we had while growing up. Looking back on the past 20 years of my life, I asked myself if I was living for myself or for somebody else. I went to school, got good grades, after graduating I got a job, and then built a business. I followed the path my parents paved for me, but I wasn't really living for myself. I was living in somebody else's shadow. As I was building my career as an investor and through achieving so many things, there was still no fulfillment. Every time I achieve something, I ask what's next. It is like a rat race, it is a cycle with me chasing after the next thing. I realized that I wasn't living in every moment. My recent awakening told me to be grateful just for the opportunity to live in the present and experience life. Sometimes we try to fight life but everything happens for a reason. We may not know what the reasons are, but I believe that when the universe wants us to learn a lesson, it will be good for us. We just have to calm down and accept what comes to us. Sometimes, bullshit can take us to the top, but will it help us stay there? Life is all about living and enjoying what we have. If today was a bad day, that's okay. We'll accept it, and move forward. If today becomes a great day, we'll accept it and be happy. So today, I want to encourage you to take a break and really embrace this life that you have on this planet. Be conscious about everything around you, simply live, and do the best you can because that is the best thing we can do for ourselves.
The challenges that we face in life. Sometimes, we get frustrated and we ask why we face the challenges that come our way. We ask why we can't do something, why we are not able, why things are happening to us. When I was younger, I only got to see my parents twice a month. I would always ask why I never see them around, why it was happening to me, and why other kids didn't have to go through the same thing. But now, I look back and I am very grateful for that experience. It helped me become very independent. It helped me grow stronger and tougher. When I came to the US, I thought I needed to get a degree to earn a lot of money, so I got a Master's Degree. After earning my Master's Degree, I had a hard time finding jobs and when I found one, I only got paid the basic salary. I got upset because I spent so much money on college but I still couldn't get the financial freedom that I desired. But I am still grateful for that, because it opened a new path for me, to become an entrepreneur and an investor. If I had graduated and secured a high-paying job right after, I would be comfortable there. I wouldn't be seeking other opportunities to earn money, I wouldn't learn how to become an entrepreneur and an investor. Later on, the journey to entrepreneurship was still not easy. There were so many challenges, so many mistakes, and so much money spent, but I am still very grateful. I do not get upset anymore because I would rather have made those mistakes when I was younger, instead of making them when I'm a lot older. In today's gratitude challenge, I want you to embrace each challenge that may come to your life now. Maybe it is challenging because of COVID-19, maybe it's a challenge for your business, no matter what it is, embrace that moment even when it's challenging. The only way you will grow is to move past the challenges that come your way. Those moments will come and go. When you grow out of it, it's gone. Embrace the challenges and say thank you. Thank you for giving me this challenge so I can grow into a better person and live to my full potential.
Health and wealth go hand in hand with each other. Our Creator gave us such healthy bodies from when we were babies, but as we age, we kinda take it for granted. We don't really connect with our own bodies and realize how much it is giving us to perform every day. Without a body that's physically healthy, there's really not much we can do. I am in the financial industry and I may not know much about health, but I believe that health and wealth are like your left and right hands. You need them both in life. I have seen my parents, especially my mom, sacrifice her health for wealth. She worked and ignored her body. She did not exercise and eat healthy. She was able to build massive wealth - from zero to a million-dollar empire, but a couple of years ago, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She needed to use her hard-earned wealth to repair what was damaged and while she is now cancer-free, she went back to her old self. When she recovered, she started getting busy again with meetings and phone calls, neglecting her health. Trading your health for wealth is the worst kind of trade you will ever do in your life. You cannot buy your health back once it's gone. I want you to look at your health as a gracious gift that was given to you by your Creator. You won't feed it junk food and you will exercise to take care of it. Just like machines, when you put too much pressure on it and do not maintain it, it will eventually break down. I want to challenge you today to take a moment today and really connect with your own self and your body. Connect with every piece of you and be grateful for each part of your body that helps you be there all these years, no matter how much pressure you put on it. Treat your body with love, respect, nutritious food, and the right exercise. That's how we get to enjoy our lives.
The precious present moment. Yesterday, we decided we will be grateful for the small things in life like water, electricity, food, etc. Today, as we continue with Day 2 of our Gratitude Challenge, I encourage you to be grateful for the precious present moment. When was the last time you connected and you were conscious about the moment? When was the last time you enjoyed the moment and your brain wasn't thinking about yesterday or the future? Many of us carry a lot of baggage from our childhood and through life, remembering everything every single day. But the thing is, does it still even exist? This morning does not exist anymore. It's in the past along with yesterday, last week, last month, and 10 years ago. We fail to focus on the precious present moments because we remember the emotional baggage we have from our past. The precious present moment is the only moment that we have. Today, I want you to work hard to focus on the present as much as you can. Not yesterday, because that's done, and not the future, because it hasn't even happened yet. Be grateful for the only moment that we have and can control - which is right here and right now. When we live in stress and anxiety from things that happened in the past, does it help the current situation? Will it help you move forward? The answer is no. We know we cannot change the past and the only thing to do is accept it. It is easier said than done and I am not expecting you to be perfect, but I want to encourage you to try your best and be more focused on the present. So for Day 2 of our gratitude challenge, I want to invite you to practice being conscious and living in the now. Whenever your brain thinks about the past or the future, bring it back to the present - here and now.
What does wealth creation have to do with gratitude? Success is 80% mindset, 20% skillset. Let's say you're on your journey to pursue wealth, but you're going through some financial crisis. If you keep beating yourself up and live in a state of anxiety because you're stressing about money, what kind of message do you think you're sending out to the universe? Wealth is something that you attract in your life. When you live with anxiety and stress, it will take you years to achieve success. Gratitude is the antidote for stress and anxiety. Today, the first challenge is to find something that you take for granted. Something that has always been there, but you've never shown gratitude for. For example, when we take a shower, we think about different things. When was the last time you were present at the moment and felt the water? When was the last time you became grateful for having clean water to shower with? There are so many things we take for granted in life. Electricity, for example. We take it for granted but it allows us to do so many things in life. When was the last time you were thankful for this creation that allows us to do many things? I want you to take this challenge with me and today, find something small. It does not have to be big. Find something small to be grateful for. Imagine that you will start your day filled with gratitude and you will be giving out this kind of energy to the world. How is your day going to be? Today is your Day 1 and I want to invite you to do this challenge with me. Find something you can be grateful for and in the morning when you wake up, think about the things you're grateful for. Do it as you go through your day until the moment you go to sleep. You are a magnet of abundance and send out gratitude to the universe. Find the things you can be grateful for today and comment them below!

1. Health Having a healthy body and having full energy is very important. I have seen my own mother work so hard her whole life and sacrificed her health for money. She used her hard-earned money to try and buy her health back. A couple of years ago, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. She has fully recovered, but she spent over hundreds of thousands of dollars. One of my most important goals in 2021 is to have more energy and become healthier. Health is not an area that I am very passionate about. I am not a health coach, but I have no idea how to do it. I am very grateful that someone introduced me to my current trainer because I wouldn't be able to take care of my health without her. Find a coach that will keep you accountable and encourage you to work on your health. My coach is always there for me and holds me accountable, but among everything else, she has my best interests at heart. 2. Relationship Relationships with everybody are very important. In the past year, I have been very busy. Before COVID-19, I was in different cities for different events and I realized that I already forgot about the connections that I have in my life. Last week, I called one of my friends and we spoke for about an hour. The connection gave me a lot of energy. Furthermore, focus on your relationship with your spouse and kids - your family. We do not learn this in school. We learn it from our parents. If you grew up in a close-knit and loving family, you're very lucky. But if you grew up like me, where my parents were always away to earn money, it will be challenging. Have that desire to become better and to foster your connections to have someone to share your successes with. Success without fulfillment is a failure. 3. Wealth People often say, "If you have time but no money, what good does it do? If you have money but no time or good health, what good will all this wealth do?" My whole life, I was very driven by financial independence to study and invest in myself to build a business out of wealth creation. I developed a passion for this because I did not have a childhood as my parents were working so hard all the time to earn money. I have always told myself that I didn't ever want the same thing to happen to my children and my family. Money helps you get better health and build better relationships. Financial independence and stability will help you get better food, a better health coach, and more time to foster the connections you have in life. Today, take time to assess your life. From 1-10, how healthy are you? How connected are you with your friends and family? How comfortable are you financially? If you find yourself with high numbers, I am very happy for you! If you do not have very great results, it is not too late. I have recently launched my webinar called Cracking The Wealth Code - where I tell you the 3 most powerful secrets to building wealth and making a difference. Come to my workshop, realize that wealth is bigger than just money, and add value to your life. Join me every Tuesday at 7PM CST, go to https://www.ahfmasterclass.com to register and learn more!
How many of you would love to live life freely? Without constant worry about money? How many of you would love to enjoy life to the fullest, spend more time with your family, and do the things you really enjoy? My mission in life is to help people live a free life. A life that is free from constant stress. In over 11 years in the US, I always ask myself how I can have true financial freedom and just enjoy it? I ask this because after I graduated, I went right to work. I did not get to travel and enjoy the beautiful scenery in China. When I came to the US, I studied again and got busy working after graduating. I didn't really get to travel until recently. If that is also you, I highly encourage you to discover the journey of starting your own business and start becoming an entrepreneur. I am very grateful for my husband. He is very supportive. After we got married, he told me that I can be a stay-at-home mom if I did not want to work. But in the meantime, I was also concerned. I was concerned because at the time, my husband did have a great source of income, but what if he loses it? What's going to happen to our family? I was wondering what I could do at home so I could have additional income, so I would have money when I wanted to buy something, for personal growth, and to help the family out as well. I didn't know where to start. I didn't have any business experience. All I had was the desire to become an entrepreneur. I started to read books about what business I can start at home. Then, I read the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad that mentioned investments as a good way to start, but if you did not have money to start investing, you may want to start owning a business. It also introduced the business of direct selling and coming from China, I did not know what direct selling was. So I went on Google and searched direct selling. I was living in New Jersey and I found this jewelry company. I got in touch with the lady who sells jewelry, and I did not know what I was doing, but I wanted to learn how to run my own business. It was my very first business experience and it was to set up a booth with jewelry to sell in my school. That got me started in the business, but I did not feel passionate about it, so that vehicle did not work out for me. When my husband and I moved to Texas, I got into health and nutrition. I was in that business for almost 5 years, but that did not work out either because I wasn't passionate about it. I made a lot of connections, expanded my network, and developed many skills because of that business, and I am very grateful for it. If your business does not work out, do not complain that business is bad. I have always believed that there are no bad investments, there are only bad investors. The business model itself has no problem, it's just the person who runs the business. I don't feel bad that that business venture did not work out, because later on, I have been through many other businesses until I landed in the kind that I am really passionate about - I now have a financial services company. My husband and I always look for ways to have different streams of income. There are 2 types of passive income - investments and businesses. Building a business is always an ongoing thing for me, but my husband and I are always looking at investments to make. We have experienced going to financial advisors for help, but we did not get much help because we did not learn much about the investments we wanted to make. I am very grateful that I met someone who introduced me to the financial services industry. He taught me a lot about investing and it really opened my mind. My husband and I used to invest hundreds and thousands of dollars in learning different types of investments, but he taught us information that was life-changing. We applied what we learned and established an even stronger financial foundation for our family. Today, some people worry about COVID-19 and how it's affecting e...
This weekend, I was listening to Simon Sinek's Start With Why. I watched his Youtube video when he was talking about Start With Why and it is so powerful because there are so many businesses out there and we always begin with "what we do" and "how we do it", but not many begin with "why". I came from a very humble beginning. When I was growing up, I only got to see my parents twice a year. I never had a childhood around my parents and I don't even know how it's like to be in my parents' arms. It never happened because they were always in a different city to make a living. That planted seeds in my head - that money separated our family and I didn't want that to ever happen to my family. That is also why I am very grateful that I was able to come to the US and work towards my goal - which is to become financially free. To never have to worry about money, for money to never dictate whether I could do certain things. When I got to the US, I thought that in order to become successful, I had to have a degree, so I got my Master's Degree in Business. But the truth is if you want to go to college, go for your passion and not the pension. I have seen so many people including myself, who get their degrees and work hard for years to pay off their student loans, making it very hard for them to get ahead. It was not until I read Robert Kiyosaki's book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, and learned to shift my mindset from employee to entrepreneur, that I started looking for different ways to become an entrepreneur and investor. It is my 12th year in the US and I have looked for different ways to become an investor, I have started many different types of business ventures and investments, and I have done it all. I've been through a lot of challenges, invested a lot of money, and lost a lot of money in the process. I know how it feels to have a strong desire to become financially independent and free without guidance. There will be a lot of trial and error. When I was in Real Estate, I realized that I needed to learn more about money because even when I went to school for business, I did not know how to manage my money. I went to a financial advisor for help, but all they did was ask questions about our finances and put us in a mutual fund without enough education. That is why I understand how frustrating this can be. I have been through all of that, including when you do not know if your money is working for you or if it is working for somebody else while you are paying a bunch of fees. But I am very grateful and I never give up. I keep going no matter what. No matter how many mistakes I make and how much money I lose, I keep going because I am very determined to become financially independent. I do not want what happened to me to happen to my children, and I will do everything, regardless of how long it will take. I am committed to making it happen. Once you become committed to what you want to happen, the resources will start coming to you. I am also very grateful that I met my mentor in the financial industry. He taught me a lot of things - how to manage my money, how the principles of investment work, and from then, I became more confident. I realized that I can become the master of my own money. I can become the master of my own finances. I applied the things he taught me and built an even stronger financial foundation for myself, and fast forward to today, we are living in a lovely home with a beautiful family. My parents have retired, and my family lives in my house. I am very grateful that I have accomplished that. This is not meant to impress you, but to inspire you that it is possible if you keep going. If financial independence is really important to you, do not ever give up. Keep searching. I have a really strong WHY. If I did not, I would have given up many years ago. Another great mentor I had was a very successful billionaire. He wrote the book that says "You Can Too!", and on the cover, it says,
I attended a workshop and the speaker asked, "Are you interested in your goals even when things get tough?" You may come up with excuses but no matter what the circumstances are, you must be willing to do no matter what it takes. What is your big goal in 2021? Are you interested enough in it?99.9% of the people I meet tell me that they want to be financially secure, however, when it comes to the actual work, most of them give up during the process and are not actually committed to it. If you tell me, "Angeline, I want to become financially stable", I can tell you everything step by step and I can empower you with the knowledge, but if you do not commit to the process, you will not get anywhere. So, how do you win big in 2021?1. Make the committed decision to achieve your goals If you want to become financially secure and achieve financial stability and freedom, you must make the committed decision to achieve that no matter what happens. 2. Work smart If you are working a 9-5 job and you are working long hours, are you working for yourself or for someone else? Would you rather be working hard for someone else or work hard for yourself and your own business and make money? Work smart and invest your time and money in a business that will work for you. 3. Find the right vehicle You are already committed and you already want to work smart, but do you have the right vehicle? Do you have the right tool to make sure that you will win big in 2021?Find the right vehicle to help you achieve financial freedom and stop waking up and wasting your life for the money. That is not how it's supposed to work. I have seen that happen with my own mother and she had to trade her life to earn money. Now, she is retired and she's working on restoring her health. Do not let that happen to you! Take time to find the right vehicle to help you work smart and let money work for you. If you would want to learn the strategies to earn from passive income and never work for money again, I will help you crack the wealth code so that you can have a great 2021!
