So many dreams about becoming Millionaires. How many are willing to do the time and pay the dues of commitment to hard work day in day out, facing failures after failures after a prolonged period of time? If you are not then don’t bother dreaming about it. You are wasting your time. And NO, successful millionaires do not waste time with people of no value and money on branded stuffs yet when they are trying to get to their first Million. They will save every last cent from everything they make to reinvest back into the business that they want to become a millionaire from. They will not waste time living work life balance. They will not be around losers that will waste your time away. We all start at different leverage points. However you can change your leverage points along the journey even when you are born into poverty or bad influence of a family or even married into a failed marriage. Yes! You can change it all.
So when people ask me why do I know if someone will ever succeed? It’s a pattern. It’s not difficult to identify who will succeed and who will fail. Luck will only be with those that work hard and learn everything they can in their core competency. Life is about outcomes. Life is about results that you are happy with. No bullshit and no shortcuts. If I were serious about making more money, creating more wealth and having a much better life for the future, I will model after those that have been there and done that. Nothing comes easy and everything is possible. All the best. 😉

Taking a step towards your passion can be hard, especially when there is self-doubt and lack of faith in your own expertise and competencies. Hence, whenever we believe in ourselves, our ability comes through for us.

Absolutely agree. Everyone dreams of being a millionaire, but few are willing to put in the effort and time required. I believe that with the right platform and by surrounding ourselves with people who are smarter and more capable, we can achieve our goals. Success is about persistence and dedication. Nothing is impossible—it’s just a matter of timing and hard work.
It made me realize that success doesn’t come from shortcuts but from hard work, persistence, and learning from failure. Don’t fear the failures you face; instead, work harder, smarter, and faster to achieve whatever you want. It’s clear that to achieve real success, we need to stay committed and make smart choices along the way.
Agreed. Becoming a millionaire requires hard work, smart money management, and surrounding yourself with the right people. Taking control of your situation and focusing on growth are key to success.

Well said, Mr. Ernie! The real challenge in being successful is in the grind, putting in the hard work, and pushing through failures. I completely agree that it’s all about focus, discipline, and making the necessary sacrifices. Success isn't about shortcuts or luck, it’s about consistent effort. Thank you for your sharing! - Nurul Asyikin
Honestly, it's a bitter truth that everyone nowadays wishes to have more luck rather than focus on hard work.
Actually, success comes from a simple formula that can help us achieve our dreams and goals in life.
The formula is made up of four key elements: 1% luck, 1% talent, 98% never give up, and 100% action.
Luck only plays a small role in our success, but it is not something we can rely on.
Talent is also important, but it is not enough on its own. We must work hard and develop our skills to achieve success.
Thank you for sharing this inspiring thought, Mr. Ernie.

Yes, Mr. Ernie, success requires sacrifices. If we want to achieve our goals, we must put in effort and focus on our targets. It will be tough, but the results are amazing.
We don't waste time on people who do not add value to us. Who we surround ourselves with is very important; being around the right people and platforms leads to success.
Thank you, Mr. Ernie, for sharing such an amazing thought!
Well said Mr. Ernie. Thank you for the sharing. Dreams of success require unwavering commitment, sacrifice, and resilience. It’s about staying focused, investing wisely, and pushing through challenges. Success isn’t for the faint-hearted, it's for those who grind, learn, and never settle for less.
I agree Mr Ernie. Success is built on hard work, persistence, and learning from failures rather than taking shortcuts. Embrace challenges and keep pushing forward. Staying committed and smart about our choices will pave the way to achieving the goals.

True indeed Mr. Ernie, millionaires not only achieve their own success but also create opportunities for others to chase their dreams. They inspire a ripple effect of growth, where those who stay focused, follow the right path, and embrace change without regret for the past can also achieve greatness. It's about moving forward with purpose and determination, making each step count.

It's true Mr. Ernie. Becoming a millionaire takes hard work, consistency, and learning from failures. It’s not just about sacrifice but also balance and smart decisions.
Succeeding in business comes with a lot of sacrifices and consistency. The ones who dares to take the risk and fight till the end are the ones who will finish the run. Completely agree with you and thank you for the sharing sir.
Thank you for the powerful reminder about the importance of hard work and discipline. It’s clear that true success requires sacrifice and relentless commitment, and your words are a wake-up call to focus on what truly matters

I agree with this because it emphasizes how hard work and dedication are essential for success. Becoming a millionaire, or achieving any big goal, requires persistence, sacrifice, and pushing through challenges. The reminder that there are no shortcuts to success is important and being around the right people while making smart financial decisions is key. It shows that success takes time and effort, and anyone willing to put in the work can change their situation and reach their goals. (FIKRI)
Success is all about relentless effort, sacrifice, and focus. It’s clear that those who truly want to make it are willing to do whatever it takes, no shortcuts. Thanks for the powerful reminder to stay disciplined and surround ourselves with the right influences. Always learning from the best!

This statement highlights the reality that achieving dreams, particularly the dream of becoming a millionaire, requires consistent hard work, discipline, and focus. It emphasizes that merely dreaming without commitment is futile. Success is portrayed as a journey of persistent effort, sacrifice, and continuous learning. The notion of saving, reinvesting, and avoiding distractions like unnecessary luxuries or unproductive company is presented as key to financial success. The message is clear: results come from dedication, not shortcuts or luck. The advice to model successful individuals reinforces the idea that success leaves clues and can be achieved by following proven paths. While the tone is direct and unapologetic, it serves as a wake-up call to those who might underestimate the demands of reaching such a high level of success.
Thank you for sharing Mr Ernie. This is a powerful reminder that achieving big goals demands sacrifice and dedication. It’s inspiring to see such a clear message about the level of commitment required for success. Keep pushing forward and don’t stop until we reach our dreams.

You never fail to impress me with your words, Mr. Ernie! What you said is absolutely true there are no shortcuts to achieving the results you want in life. It's all about being persistent, focused, and determined, even when things get tough or don't go as planned. Success doesn't happen overnight! It requires a consistent effort, day in and day out, and a commitment to constantly learning and improving. Staying disciplined and avoiding distractions, especially when the journey feels long, is key. But in the end, all that hard work and dedication will pay off, and the results will be a huge success. Thank you for the powerful reminder. This mindset is what separates those who succeed from those who give up too soon!
Kerja keras dan dedikasi sangat penting untuk berjaya. Untuk capai matlamat besar seperti menjadi jutawan, kita perlukan kesabaran, pengorbanan, dan hadapi pelbagai cabaran. Tiada jalan pintas; berkawan dengan orang yang positif dan bijak buat keputusan kewangan amat penting. Kejayaan memerlukan masa dan usaha, tapi sesiapa yang sanggup bekerja keras boleh ubah hidup mereka dan capai impian mereka.
Jadi, jangan takut untuk bermimpi besar! Dengan usaha, kesungguhan, dan tekad, apa saja boleh jadi kenyataan.

Well said sir. Nothing comes easy, but everything is possible with the right mindset."
Success has no shortcuts. It requires significant hard work, dedication, and persistence despite numerous setbacks. Successful people understand that achieving their goals demands considerable time and effort, prioritizing outcomes over personal comfort. With the right mindset and relentless effort, everything is possible.
Thanks for the sharing Mr. Ernie.
Everyone can dream, do dream big and find all ways to make it happen. Scarificate is needed and cut out the unnecessary things that will slower down the process.

Awesome, Mr. Ernie. Word hard and reap the rewards. Your sharing lit up more brightly three famous quotes in my mind, which are “Whatever you do, do with all your might”, “Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.” and “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.” Your sharing is very powerful, Mr. Ernie, because it is the truth. You say it like it is. Thank you, Mr. Ernie.

If you want to achieve great things, you have to be ready to work hard and make sacrifices. It’s not always easy, but the effort you put in will pay off in the end.
Becoming a millionaire isn’t about how much you earn but how much you are willing to save, invest, and sacrifice.

Yes, it's true that many people want to succeed, live comfortably, and become millionaires. However, not many are willing to sacrifice their time and energy to relentlessly pursue those dreams without giving up easily. In fact, there are even more people who desire an easy life but tend to complain and take things lightly, not taking the necessary actions to achieve success and lacking persistence in that pursuit. As you always say, talk is cheap, but action is good. Thanks for your sharing Mr. Ernie.

Absolutely right boss. To succeed in anything we need hard work and dedication. Don’t waste time or money on unimportant things. Save and invest in your goals. Stay away from people who don’t add value. You hang out with 5 idiots , you will be the sixth 😃
You can change your life no matter where you start. Success comes from effort, learning, and focus. There are no easy paths, but with persistence, anything is possible.
In life, there will always be ups and downs, and that’s the beauty of it. We only live once, so why settle for being ordinary? Yes, facing failure is uncomfortable, but that’s because you’re doing what most people aren’t willing to do. If you don’t want to fail, fine—then don’t do anything extra, but also don’t expect anything extra. When tough times and failures come, accept them and take action. Put in the effort, and in time, it will pay off. That’s what it takes to become a successful person. Shape up, focus on delivering results, and time will prove it. Keep fighting!

Yes, I agree that consistent hard work, dedication, and commitment can lead to success. Becoming a millionaire requires sacrifice, avoiding distractions, and continuously reinvesting in one's goals without taking shortcuts. Success comes from discipline and learning from those who have already succeeded.
I have always believed that to earn a certain amount of money, you need the right knowledge and connections with people who are already making that kind of money.
When I was in secondary school, I used to think that earning RM100 was a lot. I was making RM5 per hour at a dim sum restaurant.
As I grew older, I realized I could make RM100 in a day by working half a day as a promoter at a shopping mall. At that point, I thought earning RM1,000 was difficult.
Then, I became a salesman selling accessories at retail shops and night markets (pasar malam), and I thought earning RM10,000 was extremely hard.
Eventually, I became a product distributor, building my own team and selling in groups. That’s when I earned my first RM10,000. But then I started aiming for RM100,000.
So, I decided to join PORTMAN College to learn from someone who had already made more than RM100,000. By applying what I learned, I successfully made my first RM100,000 through investments.
Now, I’m talking about millions. I realize I need to leverage the knowledge and connections of someone close to me who is already a multimillionaire and on the path to becoming a billionaire. By aligning myself with the right person and supporting their platform, I believe I can achieve the ultimate goal and reach my own multimillion-dollar success.
The real question is: Are you valuable to that person or platform? If not, why should they leverage you over someone else?
I’m still learning and have much more to learn to reach greater heights. Looking back, I realize that making money isn’t the hardest part—it’s the process, the formula, and the actions required that become more challenging as you aim higher. If you don’t grow to match that level, you’ll never break through to reach the next one.
People will always say you got your millions or billions because of luck. But only those who work around the clock truly understand what it takes to achieve that. It’s always easier to talk than to do.
I’m grateful to have been born into a family that pushed me to the edge, forcing me to find my own way to survive. That shaped my character and instilled a hunger for success.
This is true, Mr. Ernie. Work smart is good; but work hard is the core element to success.

True! The sad reality is plenty of them tends to bicker and complaint about how others can climb and step up. However, no one realised that rather than just yapping they should put in their two cents and work for it. No one sees the hardships some go through to climb the ladder. Well said sir! Millionaires tends to think light years ahead rather than being stagnant.
Jane Raj
I agree Mr Ernie. Success doesn't come easy, and it's all about the grit and persistence you put in over time. There's no shortcut to wealth, only hard work and constant learning. We have to make sacrifices now, whether it's saving every cent or cutting out distractions, to build the future we want. Thanks for sharing these valuable insights, it's a great reminder to stay focused on the bigger picture.
It’s not always easy, each challenge we overcome brings us closer to our goals and strengthens our team. In order for us to face the success phase, staying focused and embracing the journey with all its complexities, will be a great step.
We only see the appeal of being a millionaire, but no one really wonders or cares about the journey to becoming one. There are so many things that can’t be described in words about this path — the countless days and nights of hard work and effort. No one will truly understand until they’ve made it themselves. Look forward to the challenges, obstacles, objections, and all the doubts from others. There is always a way to overcome them and still deliver results on time. No one will care about your journey until you reach the top of what they aspire to, and that's when your story becomes interesting to them. Until that day, focus and work on what will get you where you want get to, whether it's people or things that help you. Enjoy the journey, just like the journey of PORTMAN — past, present, and future. Be patient, and get ready to watch the greater show unfold.

Thank you Mr. Ernie. Your message is a powerful reminder for me to stay focused, work hard, and keep learning from those who have succeeded. It motivates me to stay on track.
This statement is very true. Hardwork beats talent when talent fails to work hard. This is a motto everyone should live by. Not everyone is created equal but with hard and smart work, everyone can level up to their next potential level. Great sharing.
