Preview of our night shoot...

3M

The brand I trust!...

Anything with their logo on it, I only need to consider whether I need it if I want to buy it.

No worries about their quality..

Their products are made for lazy people like me.

Especially love their products where no drilling or nails needed for hooks to put up pictures, frames etc...

Because I have neither the equipment or skill (or the liking) to drill.

Another reason why now I love them even more?!..

Everybody know their products rock...

Now you should be informed.. their customer service is impressive as well!

Bought the above to place in the bathroom for the shampoo, shower gel...

The instruction was to not put anything for 24hours to allow the sticker strip to hold up.

Mich took a shower, shortly after it was put up and the whole thing dropped.

Could be the water, could be the moisture, could be anything...

Though disappointed, I went to buy spare sticker strips to put up the thing again. Perhaps we were partly responsible as well.

But what happened next impressed me!

Went back to Home Fix DIY shop, to enquire about buying the spare water-proof strips.

After they found out what happened, and after verifying some details and contact info, they actually gave it to me FREE!!

3M policy...

Totally sold...

Ginseng Tonic Maker - Sometimes, we need plan b..

Money Money Money

Many reasons I've heard of why people do not wish to join me in the financial services sector as a Financial Consultant..

I don't work for money..

I don't like rejections..

I don't like to talk to strangers..

I don't like to do sales..

I don't like to do calling..

I don't think I'm suitable..

I don't like the job/career/industry (* delete where applicable)

..... and the list goes on...

Well, most colleagues I talk to.. We love to help our clients plan.. We love to do a good job for our clients and friends.. We love it when our work is appreciated.. Most importantly we truly have done our job when a claim is made...

Like everybody else.. We hate a lot of what most people hate in the list above..

We are humans.. We hate rejections.. We dislike calling.. We fear talking to strangers..

BUT WE DO IT ANYWAY...

So are we crazy?.. I think a colleague's Facebook Post just about sums up everything..

"I work hard for money..

I work harder for things money can buy..

But I work hardest for things money cannot buy!"

Such as time with my loved ones, having the flexibility to plan my time such that I can be there for my loved ones when it's needed (does not necessarily means working short hours!).. And importantly.. Having the income to provide for myself and my loved ones..

Coz seriously.. If I can just do the things that I want.. without worry of money..

I'd probably sleep all day and watch TV!

--Ginseng Tonic Maker-- That's life!
