Marketing products…
At the risk of getting killed…
If anyone would ask me why should they even consider doing the AsiaWorks Basic and become part of a (controversial) cult, I'll let you meet Eric, who graduated from the course on Sunday.
…
Brainwashing or reprogramming can be a good thing, if it helps you become more effective in life, more open to criticism and more willing to laugh at your own mistakes. It's great when you become clearer of your own dreams and ambitions, and when you are able to put your plans into actions so that your visions can become realities.
…
And if it's a good thing, why not?
…
My boyfriend said this after resisting for over eight months, 'Yes its a cult! Ha! It's a cult! I love the cult! Why not? It's a cult of people.'
Good enough for me.

what happened to eric?
tell me more. i was forced to go for an introductory session in PJ near armada hotel. i was freaked out by the way they behaved and kindly declined. and i did have a hard time declining too as they were so damn persistent.
watch out for those freaks.
hmmm what happened? he got cooked in a pressure cooker, brainwashed, and then by the time they churned him out of the production line, he was happily going around asking other people like you to join AsiaWorks. FREAKY HOH?

What if we’re already quite open to criticism and is ok about making mistakes and being laughed at for it. In fact, I even laugh at myself sometimes for those mistakes. Also, what if we know what we want in life and how to achieve it albeit still having a hard time executing it. With all that, it is ok to politely decline a persistent nagging by a friend to go for it right?
To me, AsiaWorks is only there to help motivate and make ppl see what they want in life in a clearer and achievable manner…it’s far from brainwashing. It gets you motivated and get things done. BUT 40% of those who went for it (normally those sent by their companies) end up going back to square one. I think it’s a waste of resources there.
So unless you’re willing to commit to a whole new you, don’t waste your time and money going for AsiaWorks.
