What’s your net worth?
How devoted are you in improving your net worth? Do you constantly seek means and ways to increase you financial footing? If this isn’t in you radar, you’re missing a massive ingredient in your quest to grasp your 1st million. (I’m talking as if I’m already one.. haha!) 
To the rest of the population, well done! You’re on track! Long journey to the millionnaire planet must begin somewhere. Let’s start by discovering our financial strength. Where we stand, is crucial in determining our next destination. So why not treat yourself a financial health checking. Various sites on the net provides free net worth calculator. You can get one here. (courtesy maybank for their easy-to-use tool)
In general rule, our personal net worth could be obtained through one simple equation: assets minus liabilities. In a lay man term, it’s the difference between what we own and what we owe. That’ll give the idea of how much do we actually worth. Could it be 2 cents? Yes it could!! (Just my 2 cents.. haha!).
If you’ve done this before, why not consider giving another attempt. The result might not be the same. It could be better, hopefully, if not worse. All very much depends on your lifestyle and your idea about money. Check & balance need to be done once in a while, right? It’s for your own good after all. I did this once every quarter as adviced by Robert Kiyosaki.
knowing your net worth is not the end, it’s just the beginning..
Waterslide from Barclaycards!

Nude demonstration in Malaysia?
Who? Gerakan Reformis Rakyat Malaysia (Reformis)
Where? Bangunan Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah (SSAAS)
Why? Projek Perumahan Rakyat (PPR) rental rate increase from RM124 to RM250
When? 12 December 2008
Sounds weird huh!? But that’s what an NGO in this country is planning to do. What are they thinking? Why on earth would they want to do such thing? C’mon guys, to protest in nude!? Perhaps the idea is to show that when there’s nothing else to trim on their budget, they cast away their clothes. Haha!! Later if the cost of living still hikes up, would they sell their organs? (Well, that’s not unusual in some of the third world countries).
I’ve no intention of hurting anyone here. It just implies to me that the plan is totally irrational & immoral. So we have new way of expressing dissatisfaction now? Fuel price increase, go naked. Toll rates increase, go naked. Goods price increase, go naked. Seriously dude, I think the idea is a sheer stupidity. No hard feelings..
Why I started budeen.com?
As a kick-off, let me share with you 3 reasons behind the birth of budeen.com:
#1 Challenge. I’ve outlined 6 key areas to focus in the beginning of the year. It was my 2008 resolutions. I believe everyone else had the same thing earlier on. But after 11 months of fighting & struggling, I don’t think I’m anywhere near satisfaction. With 45 days left to year end, I’m running out of time. While those 6 areas still need my full attention, I’ve decided to toss away even more time here. Now I challenge myself to maintain budeen.com which is time consuming, while at the same time stretch myself to achieve those preset goals. Can I do it? Yes master! They’re called Self Discipline & Time Management. That’s the challenge!
#2 Grow & stay young. We keep ourselves young by learning new things. It stimulates nerves in our brain, provides us the basis of a strong and healthy mind. I’ve no clue of what CPanel is all about. Fantastico and WordPress are aliens to me. I’ve no experience in creative writing. But for the sake of growing, I need to learn something new. I decided those are the things I’ve to be familiar with in order to keep me young. 
I’ve flooded my head with a lots of internet jargons for the past 12 hours, and I can tell you it’s fun! Steve Jobs once said, “Keep learning, keep growing. Don’t settle.”
#3 Diversify. New Year is approaching. I’ve decided to add in another goal. 2009 is going to be a year for me to explore the potential of internet as ASI. Budeen.com however won’t be targeting at picking up extra cash. It will just be a window for me to research, experiment, discuss and share development on other ventures available across the net. I hope to learn from other bloggers, internet marketers and those who had firm grip on internet as their fishing rod. While keeping my offline earning, I’d love to taste a slice of the online income cake. It will not only broaden my horizons but diversify my ASI.
How about you? Do you blog for some other reasons? Mind sharing with me?
