I attended one when i was in my sec sch. That time he hadnt strike out on his own. He was still under Ernest Wong. My feedback , dont waste money. Find out the reason why your child not doing as well as you expect. Dont forget , some or most of the pple are late bloomers.
Hmm it does not work for me at all
But different things might work for different people.
i read one of his book secret of investor. he is good roughly just be more positive! nlp set goal learn from the best.model the best can no need waste money go adam khoo course 1.
Well, this kind of business is make money thingy. He is certainly a rich person for sure. With the high fee rates and fame he has, he certainly has more students than other motivators which is less famous.
I have never went for such courses. One sure damn thing we can learn is that one way to get rich is to be like adam khoo, be motivational speaker who keeps rolling the same advice, with some modifications from time to time, that has only gradual improvements in most cases, and fast improvments in rare cases for audiences...
Definietly not worth it penny wise but as you know.. consumers are idiots sometimes. I would like to create this quote of truth
"Bussinessmen set crazy price on their products because they know that consumers are crazy too, quite often to speak"
At the end of the day, even if their products are really not worth it. WHat matters to them is that the products are still selling and they are becoming really rich to heaven.
why i never go before oso can get decent results?!?!?!
i went before his course before about 2 years ago too. amin was our instructor. our course started about one week before chinese new year.
the whole thing was funny, taught u speed reading and others which i forget. sad to say, after chinese new year the motivation of the whole class was gone.

i would say it's two-weeks disposable motivation course wor. hahaha.
I attended under Ernest Wong
It's plain nonsense.
Just an more expensive way to make yourself laugh and cry.
The only fun thing i rmb-ed was doing maths sums under a very fast and rhythmic music with the trainer's repetitive voice of 'faster faster faster faster faster' in your ears.
lookin at u peeps, we can conclude dat dis prog is highly ineffective.
adam khoo programme costs too much and you're only helping to make him richer if your kid attend his courses.......just go and buy self-help books, download youtube videos and teach them personally to your son.
it's better.....the S$4000++.....you can spend on (choose one below):
1) complete state-of-the-art home theatre, media and gaming system in your living room
2) trip to USA
3) 10 day 10 night stay in Batam with 15 girls servicing you at any one time

but without the stick, the memory of it will still keep him going .....
x2.
This is how I was taught on my ship.
With push-ups!
Ultimately, effective or not, it simply depends on yourself and nothing else. It may motivate you, it may not. But you choose whether to be motivated or not.
Many of us already realised that the big part comes from yourself. While most of those who attended have experienced some short term influence, most just revert to their usual ways in life; the way that we have been very used to seeing in. A person can only change if he stop seeing in his usual perspective. And personal perseverence and a deep desire must be there in order to change those bad life habits that we have took years to build.
Many working adults especially at executive levels also have attended expensive motivational courses. Get the feedback from this people and you will find at least 90% thought they were useless but yet thought what those speakers said were true. In fact, it is even more difficult for adults than teenagers to change because a lot of habits and social behaviour have already being deeply rooted.
However, there is a difference between those who attended and those who have not! Those who have not attended do not know how to change themselves but those who attended knows somewhat but just lack that personal commitment.
The first time when I read the "Habits of Highly Effective People" from Stephen Covey was about 10 years ago. But I didn't think much about it until 3-4 yrs ago when I could relate them very deeply in my work. I began to read the book again and have since read it at least 5 times to remind myself of what he say and apply them and even teach them to my wife, children and even my subordinates.
Don't discard so fast what you have learned. Find reason in yourself and ingrain these reasons in your head! Because those reasons will keep that momentum strong and going for not just 1 month or 1 year but many many years.
