Do you remember your first motivation? The first spark, first seed, first aha, first breakthroughs that started your startup journey? that you knew in your guts - that this was what you gonna do for the rest of your life? And if you are not doing it, you don't feel "yourself" at all?

I was on a interview, and while answering this question,

"You’ve helped thousands of students fast-track their success. Can you share one standout transformation story that deeply impacted you as a teacher?"

It reminded me of the first 3 founders I've helped. but this one stood out significantly in my years of teaching.

I wasn’t always a coach, or a mentor, or any of the titles people call me now. I was just another salesperson, trying to survive. Cold calling. Getting ghosted. Chasing commission. The usual.

But everything changed when one of my earliest graduates made more money than me.

3 precious moments in my life that were like seeds to the forest today. These stories left a deep impact on me and my deep passion for teaching. It started with a spark inside my gut, to an eye-watering moment at my event. Little by little, stories like these shifted me, and my purpose of waking up had started to change. I realised I was not waking up for myself anymore. I was on a new mission.

Meet My First Graduate, Jane: "I’m not sure sales is working for me"

Jane was a soft-spoken Malaysian girl with wide eyes and a quiet hunger to prove herself.

She had moved to Singapore to chase a future in sales—

but that future was shrinking fast.

She was barely covering her rent.

Her confidence had turned into caution.

And she was this close to packing her bags and heading back to hometown to find a job with a steady paycheck.

“I’m not sure sales is working for me,” she said once after a session,

eyes down, voice flat, like someone already bracing for goodbye.

She learned what I have,

She quietly applied everything.

And a few weeks later, we met again

Top Sales Producer: Jane—on the rankings chart of the top 10 sales producer of her company. She had done it! Consecutive for 3 months.

She made more money than I did that month.

I stared at that rankings for a long time.

something inside me shifted.

It wasn’t jealousy.

It wasn’t pride either.

It was a kind of deep, soul-level fire.

I felt like I just won something I didn’t know I was playing for.

I felt "something" in my gut

That moment…

was my beginning beginning.

Meet Johnny: "I used it to save my marriage"

It was during one of my live events.

One of the graduates—Johnny—stepped onto the stage.

He had finished the program. Quiet guy. Always early. Never complained.

But this time, when he held the mic, something was different.

He paused. Looked out at the room. Then said:

“I didn’t just use this program to save my startup. I used it to save my marriage.”

The room went still.

People leaned in.

And I felt a lump catch in my throat.

No one knew.

No one knew that during those training weeks, Johnny had been going through a divorce.

Not a fight. Not a rough patch. A breakup in motion.

Because his startup was failing. His savings were drying up.

And his wife—someone who had believed in his dreams—was near the edge.

But somewhere between the pitch practice,

the rejection training,

the storytelling lessons—

Johnny didn’t just become a better salesperson.

He became a better communicator.

He pitched something he hadn’t dared to before:

🎯 His fears.

🎯 His accountability.

🎯 His desire to rebuild—not just the company, but the trust at home.

There were tears. Long talks. And a lot of listening.

But the pitch worked.

She stayed.

And their marriage got a second chance.

I stood backstage, listening to him, trying to keep it together.

And in that moment, I realized something that would shape the rest of my life:

I wasn’t teaching sales anymore.

I was handing people language to survive.

I was giving them a voice when they were about to lose everything.

No investor could write a cheque big enough to equal that.

No launch. No milestone. No revenue goal.

Ever since this day, I realised that I was not waking up for myself anymore.

My purpose of waking up started to change.

Because behind every founder’s pitch… is a real human being, fighting to stay in the game.

Meet Leon, A Father of 5: "not easy honestly having to take advice from someone who is much younger than me."

Leon wasn’t fresh out of school.

He wasn’t a wide-eyed startup kid chasing the next unicorn.

He was a seasoned business owner, a father of five, and a man who’d been through the wringer of entrepreneurship.

Years of grinding.

Margins shrinking.

Competitors multiplying.

Hope? Running thin.

“I was stuck,” Leon told me. “And I didn’t even know why.”

He saw the success of Jane, He found me. Booked a 1-to-1 clarity consult.

He later told me, it wasn’t easy.

Taking advice from someone younger than him? That took humility.

But what followed was something neither of us could’ve predicted.

Inside that session, Leon had a breakthrough—not about marketing or branding or funnels—but about his value.

He realized:

“If I’m not clear about my business and value proposition… then how can I expect my clients to be?”

With renewed clarity, Leon restructured a pitch for a small $2,500 website project.

It was just supposed to be another freelance job.

A side project.

A keep-the-lights-on kind of gig.

But then he applied the exact presentation structure and languaging I taught him.

He walked into the meeting—not as a vendor, but as a leader. He didn’t talk about code.

And what happened next?

That $2,500 website? It turned into a $2 million+ partnership opportunity!

“Jason’s presentation technique worked like a charm. My clients responded exactly the way Jason predicted they would.”

His clients didn’t just want his service.

They didn’t just agree to the website.

They offered him a new leadership role in their new company.

🚫 No paid ads.

🚫 No fancy rebrand.

🚫 No new leads.

“Don’t underestimate Jason because of his age,” Leon said. “The coaching gave me the clarity I never knew I was missing.”

Leon didn’t go viral.

He didn’t raise capital.

He didn’t even post about it.

But what he earned was something rare:

✨ Clarity.

✨ Confidence.

✨ Control of his next chapter.

Just one presentation. One story. One pitch.

That’s when I felt like "moon in the waters"—

The win wasn’t mine, but the reward felt spiritual.

Because nothing I’ve ever sold…

nothing I’ve ever earned…

compares to the the feelings of seeing them succeed and break through.

These were the 3 seeds that started the forest. My beginning's beginning.

And that’s when I started helping people become more.

It was about unlocking comeback stories like all of them.
