About Low Hang Wei

Blogged By: Low Hang Wei @ October 7th, 2006 - 10:18 am

Hi!
My name is Low Hang Wei, with no English name and no intentions to get one. I was born on 11 October, 1984. As of the moment I started this blog, I am turning 22 in a few days. I set up this blog because I want to be a millionaire before my 26th birthday… and I have 4 years left to achieve that goal.

My Roles
Marketer - Investor - Programmer - Web Developer - NTU Biz Student

My Interests
Computer Gaming - Anime and Manga - Leisure Singing - Reading Blogs - Roller Blading - Ice Skating

I seek knowledge in
Business Operations - Human Psychology - Self Improvement - Management - Marketing - Investing

Personally, I like my blog’s domain name, FirstMillionChallenge.com. This is seriously a big challenge for me because I’m not even making $100 a month now! I used to make quite good money from the internet, but I sold my website before I enlisted at a stupid price of $16,000. This is my worst trade ever… the website’s profits for a year is even more than that and it takes just 3 hours per week to maintain the site.

After selling the site, I lost motivation to proceed in Internet Marketing, partly because I need to serve my National Service and I’m an extremely law-abiding citizen. I know that it’s against the directive to moonlight, which is the reason I sold my website. So… for the next few years, I stopped my Internet Marketing activities.

Oops… it’s getting boring… so let’s get to the point.

The reason behind setting up this blog is simple - I needed to stop procrastinating and start working towards my goal. By declaring my goal to everyone, I have no choice but to make it happen! Also, I want to document my success story by blogging everyday about the detailed actions I took to move towards my goal. I’m expecting this blog to become an information gold mine.

Reasons behind my Goal
I have strong reasons that fuel my desire to become a millionaire both on a personal level and a broader level. Firstly, I don’t really like our office culture where office politics are more important than actual work done. I want to become a model employer that rewards accordingly and brings out the best of each staff, however hard that may be. Also, I find the role of an employer more challenging, since every decision I make will affect more people.

Second reason - Sometimes I look around and see tons of people who need help. When I’m unable to help, I feel needles pricking through my heart. However, to help others, I must first help myself by producing phenomenal results. Only then will I be able to motivate people around me and guide them to producing phenomenal results for themselves as well.

Third reason - I need money, I want money. “Not Having Money Is The Root Of All Evil”

Can I achieve the goal?
Of course I think I can make a million dollars within four years, otherwise I would not have set up this blog. Anyone can achieve anything as long as their mind can conceive and believe.

You can help me as well!
I’m a strong believer in the power of thoughts, so if you want to help me achieve my goals, just pray for me. Simply believing that I will reach my goals is a great help. Just imagine if millions of people believe that I will achieve my goals, what can stop me? It will become a self fulfilling prophecy!

Of course, if you want to take further actions to help, I will really appreciate if you spread word of my blog around. I’m an exhibitionist and I’m not afraid to admit it. :) If you have your own blog or website and do not mind linking to this blog, that’s even better. I really appreciate any efforts that you take to make this blog more popular, since it’s really boring to move towards my goal without anyone noticing. In return, I will do my utmost to improve myself and share my knowledge with everyone.

If you have read so far, I’m really glad. It proves that I’m not that boring after all. :)
