LIFE DECISIONS THAT WILL CHANGE OUR LIFE.



  1. I used to believe that it was impossible to do well in both business and have a nice healthy body. 
  2. I used to focus on just growing businesses and not my health.  
  3. I was unhealthy and not eating right. 
  4. I was always wanting to help people become better even though they were not deserving of me and my time. 
  5. I was having a lot of incompetent and people with bad character working with me.  I had to lower my personal standards just to grow business.  
  6. I was always required to work a lot harder to fix other people problems and I thought that was what a business owner was to do to be successful.  
  7. When my mother passed away 3 years ago, I was very sad. I decided that I was not interested in businesses anymore and that I was going to start taking care of my health only. 
  8. You see, it has always been for me to either build a big and successful business or have a healthy lifestyle as it was just impossible to have both at the same time. IT WAS JUST TOO DIFFICULT. 
  9. Today everything has changed as I have decided that I can have both. It is "and" not “or” However, things will have to change. My directions in life MUST change. My lifestyle MUST change. 
  10. My New Directions in Life: I have decided to build a PROFITABLE & MEANINGFUL business AND also to live a HEALTHY & FULFILLED LIFE. 
The following are what I DECIDED to do and continue to do AS I DO NOT WANT TO WASTE ANYMORE TIME WITH THINGS & PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT MEANINGFUL. 
  1. I decided to close down businesses that was not meaningful & profitable. 
  2. I decided to terminate all employees with no integrity with bad character and incompetent.
  3. I decided that I only wanted to work with people of integrity that have competency. 
  4. I decided to stop chasing after monetary gains for the sake of being richer. 
  5. I decided to workout at the gym to live a healthier lifestyle.
  6. I decided to eat right and a lot healthier. 
  7. I decided to accept things that I cannot change. 
  8. I decided to wish people all the best when they were not good to me. 
  9. I decided to remove people that was negative and draining my personal energy.
  10. I decided to only live my life to first and foremost make me happy. I am responsible for me first not others. 

WE CAN HAVE BOTH. IT’S ALL ABOUT YOUR DECISION. DECIDE AND TAKE MASSIVE ACTIONS. RESULTS DO NOT LIE.

I decided to be a leader to myself, lead myself to take ownership of my life and in whatever I do. I cannot stop people from being selfish, bullying others, taking advantage on others, abuse their powers but I have a choice not to be like them. We all have choices....the key point is to decide wisely :)

Most people are afraid to make a decision as the decision will determine the future.
Before I make any decision, I always think whether the decision will benefit me and people around me. There is a time when i regret about my decision but people will not success if they did not encounter with the failure and indeed result do not lie.

First of all, congratulations on your achievements Mr. Ernie.
I do agree that we need to make important decisions at some point of time in our lives to live a better life in future. As you mentioned, I am living my life now with my own decisions as I trust myself to create a better future for me.

Life is about making decisions. The decisions you make today will determine the stories that you tell tomorrow!

Congratulations Mr. Ernie. Your life decisions have made you accomplish your goals that you had set in your life. You managed to scratch out all the negativity and only fill yourself in with positivity. You are a role model to many and you have reached the self-actualization phase in Maslow's Hierarchy. Once again congratulations not only on your business but also to a healthy lifestyle.

Agreed! I've started a No Sugar and very Low Carb diet in September and it makes me feel good and more energetic. I decided to make that decision and live a healthier lifestyle so that I can do more to achieve my personal goals. I am going to keep this up and keep going!!!!

The direction towards healthy and a meaningful existence lies on the decision we take. It's an unacceptable bent to perpetuate a low quality standards. This remarkable transformation is personally boosting my internal skills and personal energy as well. Thank you.

Our life and direction are decided by ourselves.
We need to be clear and know what you want, choose to do meaningful things and the things that can make you feel the achievement.

Decisions are the hardest thing to make, but you and ONLY you are responsible for your life choice and decisions.

Once you have decided to grow with the organisation. Take massive action and achieve our BIG DREAM. Don't make a permanent decision for our temporary emotion.

We are the one who decide what we want to achieve and where we want to go. Once the decision made, committee and achieve it! We cannot makes everything perfect, at least we do our best in everything with no regrets.

GOD make us need each other. Sometimes we didn't realise our mistakes,
other people will make us realise it.
when we realise, we'll do wiser decisions.

Mr. Ernie once said before:
"You can grow businesses & make a lot of money, but without health everything is fake."

Your determination really scary. The results you achieved really inspired people around you.

Willing to work is not enough;
Working hard is not enough;
Working smart is not enough;
Achieve Results is what we want.
Without health, everything is fake.

The 5 Wells are really powerful:
1) Clean Well
2) Eat Well
3) Work Well
4) Exercise Well
5) Sleep Well

By doing all the above, we can grow our business & self well!
Congratulations to Mr. Ernie for making not possible to possible again!
Prove again, Everything is possible, it's all about your decision and action.

Thank you for Mr. Ernie not just growing businesses & yourself, you are growing all of us in the same time! 3 MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGES at the same time!

I am fully agreed with Mr. Ernie. It has been a long while knowing myself doing the wrong thing but never have the courage to take action.

It is time to make a decision and CHANGE.
