"Fill the Missing Link"

If you were the one who read some of my articles, you might have recognized I always have the "jigsaw image" on top part of my articles. This image is my company logo and the "IMAGE" of my business concept. I renamed my blog based on this image quite recently. I hoped to launch this "Fill the Missing Link" as my business brand. Today, I would like to talk about my Brand. "Shaw Funami of zhen international, inc. (*zi*) announces its brand, *Fill the Missing Link*.

After 20+ years of being employed, I decided to become independent and self-employed. It is so much different being self-employed from being employed. For example, being employed, the company brand is already there and will be given, regardless you like it or not. But, being self-employed, you must get one. This image as well as my brand slogan "Fill the Missing Link" describes my business belief and basic concept.

No matter what you do, even being employed or self-employed, business is like "jigsaw puzzle". You hope to have whole picture completed, but there is always a missing part. You do not want to give up your business, so you end up continuing to "Fill the Missing Link". If you "find the right piece of puzzle", you can "Fill the Missing Link". Then you see better picture of completed image, your picture will step ahead for completion. Or it becomes easier to find the next missing piece.

It seems to me that this theory applies not just for business, but for life or living. We have something missing for our entire life. But, we cannot leave them to be missing and open. We continue to find someone, something which can fill your missing part.

Either in life or in business, we all need someone who can help you "Finding a Piece of Puzzle" and "Filling the Missing Link". I would love to help you finding the piece and "Fill Your Missing Link". This is my goal of life and goal of my company's business. This "Fill the Missing Link" is not just concept. You will find this can be effective methodology for improvement of your business.

The following is a video-clip I uploaded to YouTube a little whole ago. I talk about "Fill the Missing Link". This is the Internet version of "Fill the Missing Link".

What is Happy Ending?

I think everybody liked "Prince and Princess Stories" when we were small kids. Soon I started to think what happened to those heros and heroins after the stories over.

If it is a story, you do not have to think about after the ending of the story. But, story never ends for us.

The office worker's story in previous 2 articles were what happened to me. Or based on my own experience to say the least. I could manage to take care of the bad inventories, but still needed to go. However, I believe "Uncle Sai's Horse" story. This story goes:

"Uncle Sai worked hard saving money and he bought the horse he dreamed of. One day Uncle Sai was riding this horse and fell down from the horse. He broke his leg and could not walk like before any more. He was unhappy for a while. One day a war broke out neighbor country attacked his country. All healthy young people needed to go to the war and many died and heavily injured. Uncle Sai because of his handicap, he did not have to go to the war. He could spend the rest of his life with his family."

Now the question is "What is Happy Ending". Truth is there is no ending. The other truth is you can make it bad or make it good. I believe that good things continue to happen to the people who are happy. I am thankful to my family, especially to my wife who supports me for rainy days. I am happy to find what I am doing right now.

Promoted! But,.......

You got promoted to be a section manager in your company. You are proud of your self. Of course! Now you have your own office overlooking San Francisco Bay, your own secretary, and 3 account executives reporting to you.

You also got 3 more accounts who are producing $1 million a month. You thought you may be General Manager soon. Somebody calls your cellphone one afternoon. It was one of your 3 new accounts calling. He told you that they lost a project and all they bought are bad inventory now!!! He wanted your company to restock products worth $3 million.

You did not run into this situation if you were not promoted. In China and Japan, they call it to be "Uncle Sai's Horse". Uncle Sai worked hard saving money and he bought the horse he dreamed of. One day Uncle Sai was riding this horse and fell off from the horse. He broke his leg and could not walk like before any more. This story is not happy till this end. But, it is not all, yet.

Promotion or Demotion?

Here is another example of what your mind will do to you. You are an office worker. (I was an office worker myself for long time.) You like your job and enjoy it other than your boss gives you too much work. You are busy. You are working like at least 10 hours a day.

One evening, you are putting your stuff away and ready to go home. Your boss calls you. It does not seem to be a good sign. You went into your boss's office. He tells you to give you more cliant accounts.

You think yourself that you may have been maxed out. But, you say that you will try to manage new accounts. Your boss is happy. You needed to work 12 hours a day after that and could successfully manage your new accounts in addition to your old accounts.

Your boss is happier and one day he tells you that you are now section manager. You got promotion! That evening you had dinner with your colleague and your colleague told you that he was offered those accounts and he declined because he was too busy. Your colleague stayed to be an assistant level.

My God! My car is broken!

One morning, you woke up and walk to your garage to go to work. You started your car and your car's engine did not sound right. You stop the engine and got out to check.

You found oil is leaking!

How do you react if this happened to you?

Do you go panic? And you go like "Oh my God, it is 8:00am on Monday morning. I will be late for staff meeting! Damn car! What an unlucky day!"

Or you think "Thank God, I found this now! If I did not recognize this now and drove, what could have happened to me in the highway."

You have seen my point already. Depending on your mental condition, you can reach to 2 different conclusions and reactions. They are 180 degree opposite. Can you believe that? It is imparative that in panicy mental condition that you will waste your time, could not take proper actions to repair your car and late for your meeting. Everything continue to be bad.

Instead, if you take positive reaction to the happening, you can call your office, go to repair shop in no time, fix your car, and chances are you may make your meeting. You find everything is Okay and under your control. You feel even lucky to find the oil leak before major thing happens.

I am seeing "ripple effect" or "chain reaction" to this kind of occurance. If your mind tells you that it is bad. Things tend to spin around bad as described.

On the other hand, if you take positive reaction to the problem and continue to feel lucky, you can quickly fix the problem and turn around things better.

There is a magic on people's mind. This is simple example of the importance of positive thinking. "Every cloud has silver lining." Right?

Are you asking which would be most likely my reaction? I would go panic. No one is perfect, right? But I still try to cultivate my positive reaction.

About my Special Skills!?! -Imperfect Action-

It was my friend recommended me to use YouTube Videos for messaging to people. I have been hesitating for long time. I am not trained to speak in front of camera and shoot scenes.

I took a look to the videos my friend uploaded and others and I felt I would be able to do it. Greatest thing was I happened to come across message from "Imperfect Action". I thought it does not have to be perfect. Take the video anyway and upload it.

In addition my friend asked me to upload supporting message to her original message. So, I needed it any way.

I uploaded first video. I found I like it!!! Now I plan to upload my videos as long as I have some message. Please take a look at my most recent video:



In conclusion, I re-discovered that "Imperfect Action is better than No Action". Also found that people is motivated when recommended, asked, and pushed.

Positive Mindset

It was last Saturday. Saturdays and Sundays are our regular excercise day, my wife and I usually go to 24 hours fitness to excercise. But I woke up and felt pretty bad. I had a bad headache. So I excused myself from excercising and only my wife went.

At home, it was not that bad I did not feel like going back to bed. So I started working on my Blog. I did not touch my blog for more than 2 weeks and articles have not been put up.

I did a little bit of meditation and concentrating writing. I could write 3 articles in relatively short time of one and half hours until my wife returns from 24 hours fitness. I felt accomplished and I found my headache is gone. By this time, I felt like thanking for my headache.

This is another example that positive thinking will result in good result. Let's keep our mindset positive.
