Kini belajar bisnis. Bangunlah Aset anda..Aset penghasil kekayaan anda!






Dulu, waktu masih belum belajar bagaimana cara menjadi kaya, pikiran saya seperti kebanyakan orang: bekerja untuk mendapatkan uang. Sampai kemudian pernah terdampar sebagai pekerja lapangan di Jakarta. Rasanya berat dan keras kehidupan waktu itu.

Untung saya masih punya impian besar. Dari belajar saya tahu kalau untuk menjadi kaya, kita perlu memiliki aset. Kalau orang kebanyakan dari bekerja baru mendapatkan uang untuk membiayai hidupnya, sebaliknya orang kaya memiliki aset yang kemudian menghasilkan uang terus-menerus.

Ajaib! Internet telah membuat kehidupan saya berubah. Kini selain berupa aset virtual yang tersebar dan bernilai tinggi, aset-aset saya juga berkembang di dunia offline baik dalam bentuk properti, tanah, dan lainnya.

Mengapa punya aset?

Kata Robert Kiyosaki dalam Rich Dad, Poor Dad, aset adalah sesuatu yang menghasilkan pendapatan. Jadi, kalau yang anda miliki, seperti rumah yang anda tinggali misal tidak memberikan pendapatan buat anda, berarti itu bukan aset.

Untuk hidup sejahtera, anda perlu punya aset karena:

  • Aset yang membiayai anda. Anda menjadi kaya dengan mengumpulkan aset yang menghasilkan. Sebab aset-aset itu yang akan bekerja untuk anda. Sehingga aset-aset itu yang membiayai kehidupan anda selanjutnya.
  • Banyak sumber pemasukan. Dengan punya banyak dan beragam aset, berarti anda punya beragam sumber pemasukan yang siap membiayai hidup anda. Tentu pendapatan yang dihasilkan aset anda tersebut, harus lebih besar dari pengeluaran anda.
  • Aset terus bekerja. Tidak peduli apakah anda sedang sakit atau malas-malasan, aset akan terus bekerja untuk anda. Sebaliknya, bila anda bekerja untuk mendapatkan uang, maka begitu sakit berarti pendapatan anda berhenti. Betul kan?

Jenis Aset: Online dan Offline

Bagi saya, aset terbagi dua yaitu aset online dan aset offline.

Aset online merupakan aset yang berada di internet. Baik berupa blog, website, data kontak, software pendukung, dan segala yang berkaitan dengan internet

Aset offline berupa aset offline seperti properti, tanah, dan lainnya yang menghasilkan pendapatan .

Bagaimana memperoleh aset?

Untuk memiliki aset, anda harus melakukan investasi.

Sebab itu sering saya tekankan untuk melakukan investasi bisnis. Sebab itu jalan terbaik untuk hidup sejahtera.

Proses investasi tersebut bila digambarkan seperti gambar di bawah ini.

Investasi membuat anda memiliki aset. Aset itu yang kemudian bertugas menggantikan anda untuk mendapatkan penghasilan.

Tantangannya kemudian adalah bagaimana membangun aset anda tiap hari. Sampai aset anda itu kian berkembang dan mendatangkan pendapatan yang semakin baik.

Sebab itu juga saya luncurkan aset virtual. Ini cara mudah agar anda cepat memiliki aset online yang menghasilkan pendapatan untuk anda.

Salam ACTION!

How To Stop Hair Loss And Regrow Lost Hair

Curing Hair Loss : Hair Like Samson (before he met Delilah)

A multi-millionaire will be made one day - the day a scientific researcher finds a simple, inexpensive, universally successful hair regrowth product. And that day will come. The amount of money being funneled into hair loss research is phenomenal, and as long as our society puts such great stock in appearance and beautiful heads of hair, the research will continue until that simple cure is found.

Until then, men and women must investigate and experiment with a variety of products which will have a variety of results, dependent upon the individual. Each human body is unique, with unique levels of hormones, chemicals, and enzymes. For this reason, to date, there is not a universal cure. Some people experience reduction in hair loss and solid regrowth, while others using the same product may not see the same results.

For those who experience less than desired results from the variety of topicals, pills, herbs and hair products available, there are currently surgical “cures,” if they have the financial wherewithal to pursue them. These involve a variety of transplant techniques and can be tedious and a bit painful. Such cures are available for both men and women.

Transplants: In transplants, a hair strip is taken from a donor area of the scalp, usually the back, because pattern baldness in both men and women usually does not affect the back of the head. From these stips, individual follicles are extracted and then implanted into the bald area of the scalp. The “art” of this procedure is to get the follicle in so that the slant of the hair is correct for that part of the head. There are usually 1-5 hairs in each follicle, so you can imagine how many transplants have to occur if someone wants a full thick head of hair to replace a completely bald spot. The average cost of transplant, per follicle is $4 - $6. The average cost of pattern baldness transplants is about $10,000.00 - a hefty bill for most of us. For women who have overall balding events, the cost can be greater still.

If you do not have $10,000 to spend at the moment and you must wait until regrowth products improve, you may have to be content with less preferable but effective methods like using Provillus available at http://www.provillus.com. There have been great advances in hair pieces for men, and wigs are as much a fashion accessory as jewelry for women. If you select this route, buy a good one and go to a professional who is widely experienced in developing unique hair pieces for individual needs. Generally, you get what you pay for. Fit and ability to have confidence that wind and lots of movement will not move your hair piece are extremely important. While not the permanent cure you really want, the embarrassment of societal reaction to your baldness is eliminated.

Keep abreast of research in the area of hair loss cures. Scientists are close, and the answer could come any day. In the meantime, do what makes you feel comfortable and confident, and use any product that helps you reduce the rate of your current hair loss. Stress and anxiety over this condition will only make it worse.

10 Top Tips For Macro Photography


Camera shake can be a real problem at high magnifications due to longer exposures and shallow depth of field. Use a tripod or assume a sturdy position. Have the mirror lockup mode activated and preferably use a cable release.

Shooting macros of delicate subjects is impossible on a windy day so go equipped with a makeshift windbreak. A small clamp and stand may be enough to steady flowers and plants.

Add impact to the shot and create an early morning feel with a water spray to imitate dew or rain.

Maximise the depth of field by using an aperture of f/11 - f/22 and keeping your camera parallel to the subject. Use your depth of field preview button to see the result and if the preview is too dark, take a test shot and check the shot on your LCD.

Ordinary lenses won't let you get close to a subject. There is no substitute for a macro lens that can reproduce 1:1 or life-size reproduction. A focal length of 100 or 200mm will give a good distance to work from.

Auto focus is a wonderful timesaving addition to your camera lens but can be tricky with close-ups as it battles back and forth to any subtle change or camera movement. Try switching to manual focus and choosing the focus point yourself. To make the most of the depth of field focus on the middle part of the subject.

Try to avoid backgrounds of the same colour, otherwise your subject will blend into it. Clutter and patches of bright light will draw your eye away from the subject.

Add sparkle in dim conditions and reduce shadows and contrast on bright sunny days.

With white butterflies for example standard camera metering can be fooled into underexposing so be prepared to add two stops of positive exposure compensation to eradicate this.

Avoid burned out highlights and maximise fine detail by shooting on bright overcast days when the light is diffused and not harsh and direct. If you can't avoid shooting in direct light then use a diffuser to soften the light.
