After Office Hours by Kenneth Goh

Many years back, I attended a seminar by Brian Tracy and I learnt an important concept about success.

The concept is "Your achievement depends on what you do after the office hours".Let me show you how this concept changed my life.

When I first started working, I was one of the most hard-working employees in my office. While most people work until 6-7pm, I usually worked until 8-9pm. I did well in my job, but I saw no future. At that time, I was spending most of my after-office hours "working".

Then I discovered a field of study called success philosophy and I became addicted to it. During that stage of my life, I spent most of my after-office hours reading self help books, until the day when I finally realized that success is inevitable.

When I started my offline business, I spent the office hours running the business. I spent my after-office hours reading about other businesses, including internet marketing. I also spent many nights learning how to build and promote websites.

Now that I'm full time in internet marketing, I spend the office hours running my online businesses and my after-office hours developing new online businesses.

The point is...We spend most of our office hours on day-to-day operation. The only time when we can do things that will have major impact in our future is after-office hours.

However, most people spend their after-office hours watching TV programmes, playing games etc. I have many friends who have the thinking that "office-hour is for work, after-office-hour is for relaxation". I can't say they are wrong. But what I know is, if I were to adopt such a mentality, I will not be where I'm today.

How about you? What do you do after your office-hour?

To your success,
Kenneth Koh
