The shame that keeps Asians broke

I was conducting our team's weekly webinar on Tuesday.
The topic: 7 sins of sales and marketing.
We dissected common objections prospects have when pursuing wealth, self-improvement, and transformation.

There was one that really got me thinking deep: The shame of desire.
Asian cultures got this deep-rooted limiting belief about wealth building.
You share your big dreams with family, friends.
The big house. The nice car. 6-figure income. 8-figure net worth.

What happens?
"Aiya, don't need to be so rich la. Money cannot buy happiness."
"Be realistic can or not? Later fall down very painful."
"Why you want so much? We simple people only."

Sound familiar? I assert this belief is keeping too many people broke.

Here's what's really happening.
At a sub-conscious level, your friends and family recognize something.
In your pursuit of success, you're breaking away from the pack.
In pre-historic times, breaking from the pack meant death. Can get eaten by tiger.
Die alone in the jungle.

Today? We are not living in jungle, but same fear is still there.
When you try to elevate yourself, people around you pull you back. Not because they hate you. Because their survival mechanism is screaming: "DANGER! COME BACK!"
It's not malice. It's monkey brain.

But here's the thing about leveling up in life.
It requires tremendous intention and determination.

All around you, voices of "love" will be telling you stay grounded.
Stay small. Stay safe.

I'm here to empower you. Everybody deserves to dream of greatness.
Wanting wealth is not selfish. Wealth is your birthright.

Think about what wealth really ensures:
You meet ALL your commitments. Not choose which bill to pay.
Your loved ones never starve. Not calculate milk powder vs petrol.
You pay your dues with dignity. Not dodge creditor calls.
You live on your terms. Not at people's mercy.
You become the one in your family who stands up confidently and says: "I got this."
Not the one hiding when relatives ask about your "business venture."

Your Asian parents telling you money isn't everything?
They're protecting you from disappointment.

Your friends saying be realistic?
They're protecting themselves from feeling left behind.

Your spouse asking why not enough?
They're protecting the relationship from unknown change.

All love. All fear. All keeping you broke.
But poverty isn't love. Poverty is prison.

No parent should tell their child "we cannot afford" with shame in their eyes.
No adult should avoid family gatherings because cannot answer "how's work?"
No one should live smaller because others feel safer that way.

I'm looking for 3 people ready to break from the pack.
Who understand wanting more isn't shameful.
Who refuse to let others' fears become their ceiling.
Who ready to be the one who changes their family tree.
Not by abandoning them. By elevating everyone.

Reply "BREAK FREE" if you're ready.

To honor your desires without shame.
To build wealth without guilt.
To rise without apology.

Because your grandiose dreams aren't too big.
Your circle might just be too small.

Always cheering you on
