What got the ball rolling…

Below is an article I have previously published on my wordpress account, but because the below article explains why I am here today... I am re-publishing my article here.

One day (around Aug)… I was on my facebook… and saw an ad on a Free Business Incubator bootcamp, which was over an weekend.

I had just finished my studies for the yr (the exam  is held in Jun each yr), and I had put my whole life on hold (other than work) for this exam. After the many months of just work and study, I took a much needed no studies & rest after work for the next two months.

But I guess.. all the things that I have put on hold will need to be rejuvenated before the end of the year comes along, and my next round of studies begin.

So, I guess, this “Free Business Incubator Bootcamp” was a little nudge for me. I couldn’t remember why exactly I clicked on the ad, maybe because it was free, or maybe it was a bootcamp, and the fact that it was for a full weekend.. so I was a little intrigued. I have attended seminars on & off previously, but not since I moved interstate a yr and a bit ago.

In my previous seminars that i have attended, if it was held over a weekend, there will be many guest speakers, who will share their techniques with you.. but of course, they are also there to entice you to join them, so that they can be your mentors.

The “Free Business Incubator bootcamp” by Wilson Luna was different.

I felt that it changed me fundamentally, beyond just knowing.

Many seminars/speakers will inspire you, but after the talk, you are still you, and you return to your day-to-day life.

The “Free Business Incubator bootcamp” was run by just Wilson Luna himself – no guest speakers, so it was more in-depth. I truly cannot call his seminar a seminar, as it was not like university, where you sit and listen and absorb which is the case for most other speakers.

Wilson Luna’s bootcamp was experiential. He got us up and interacting. I would love to share what he got us doing, but I don’t want to spoil the fun  .  However, if you do have a chance to attend one of his bootcamp, I truly recommend it.

In terms of what he shared, I guess it was nothing new – many speakers will have mentioned the same few things that he shared. One of the point that resonated with me the most is to focus on one thing at a time. I guess I try to do so many things at a time, that I did none of them well. Jack of all trade, but master of none.

I did not end up signing up to his program, but that was because I felt the time was not right. I still had another exam to go, and I know that I will be spending the remaining hours after work for my first half of next year, concentrating on it, and will not be able to give his program the attention it deserves, and also whether I wanted my own business & ready for it. As Wilson Luna’s program name describes, it was a business incubator bootcamp, which means that his target audience are business owners or people who wanted to have their own business.

However, after that weekend in the “bootcamp”, I felt the impact beyond it.

My partner and I attended the seminar together, and since the seminar, we have now written down goals that we would like to achieve each week. It has made our week more productive, and us more “together”.

Although it was just a weekend at the Wilson Luna’s business bootcamp, I would like to acknowledge the impact it has on our lives, and that I am grateful for it.
