I Searched for Passive
Income All My Life!
Dr.
Majdi Obaid, 42, is a Bahraini. He is one of the highest-paid
motivational speakers in the Middle East.
He
worked as a financial controller, the youngest one to ever be hired,
for the government of Bahrain. He taught in universities. For more
than 11 years, he had been looking for passive income. He spent
millions (in Thai baht) in efforts to earn passive income in many
businesses, including investments in real estate, stocks, franchises,
and many others. But he could not find a way to create income that
was truly passive. However, in less than four months with Unicity, he
achieved his financial freedom.
He said that for the first 10 years of his career, he
worked as a civil servant, having graduated with a degree in
accounting. He went on to earn his Ph.D. in leadership. He made a lot
of money from government employment. Following that decade, he
changed his life to become a business owner. He conducted Personal
Development as a trainer and learned from the world’s leading
gurus, most of whom came from the US, such as Tony Robbins, Les
Brown, Brian Tracy, T. Harv Eker, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, Stephen
Covey, Tom Peters, Paul Zane Pilzer, and many others.
Whoever it was, he took courses with them and learned important lessons about
management, finance, administration, leadership, and wealth.What
follows is the story of Dr. Obiad’s highly successful life on his
own account told to the audience at UPS Seminar, September 5, 2015,
IMPACT Muangthong Thani, Bangkok, Thailand.
I could make in a day up
to US $5,000 (Bt180,000) or a minimum of $30-50,000 (Bt1-1.8 million)
per month.
I studied and learned
everything about passive income from every angle. Eventually I even
taught it. In 2005, I wrote up a plan to secure my financial freedom.
I followed what Anthony Robbins told me. I wrote down everything I
wanted. If my plan succeeded, I would have financial freedom in eight
years.
In 2012, I took the same
course again with Tony Robbins, Financial Planning, to earn
passive income, but I still did not have any. Somebody told me to
invest in a franchise, so I followed his advice.
Someone else told me I had
to write books, and I followed his advice. My books became
bestsellers, but until then I had no return on my investment in the
books.
Three years ago, another
person told me to invest in Internet marketing. I created nine
websites, but I got zero earnings in return.
I was also told to go into
the stock market. I invested my money in a mutual fund and expected
to earn millions. Instead, the stock market crashed in 2008.
I was disappointed and
gave up on earning passive income, telling myself that it’s only
wishful thinking, that it’s not real, that it’s not true. I gave
up searching and went back to active income employment.
More work, more stress,
less life
I found that
the more you earn, the expenses you incur. People at the
middle-income level find that their expenses go up faster than what
they earn. I was getting more and more stressful with what I did. I
could not manage my stress.
I have four children. I rarely saw them.
I traveled a lot. My youngest ones are twins, and they didn’t
even know me. One day I broke my ankle. I could not walk, and my
active income stopped.
Wake-up
call
My former
boss gave me a call. He said he had a project about health, and knew
that I loved taking vitamins and other nutritional supplements. When
I realized he was talking about Network Marketing, I told myself:
what?! I would waste my time for sure. My former boss introduced me
to Khun Paul-Pattarapon (one of Thailand’s most famous actors).
Paul who? I had no idea. Who’s he?
For me,
some good things come from the USA, but my former boss told me this
was from Thailand! Thailand? OMG Thailand! When he started talking
about the principle of Cashflow Quadrant (Robert T. Kiyosaki’s,Rich Dad’s
Cashflow Quadrant),
I told him that I knew about the book. He told me I could make
$30,000. I said I already earn that. He said this project was about
passive income, not active income. I turned to my boss and said,
“Do you believe this guy? I taught that in universities before!”
I told myself that the
passive income he was describing was about selling stuff: going out
and presenting stuff to people. And the people I learned from had
said that Network Marketing produced only side income. I have a lot
of friends in this kind of business and they still run around selling
stuff.
My former boss told me
that if I did not believe him, he would take me to see the people who
make money in amounts with a lot of zeros in their numbers. I like
numbers with lots of zeros. He told me that I could retire early, so
I came to a USP Seminar here three years ago (in 2012). What I saw
and what I felt…oh, it was like being reborn!
I found
over 20,000 people there. I thought, this must be an annual
gathering, but I was wrong. My former boss told me this was their
monthly event. Oh. My. God!
He also told
me that these people bought tickets by themselves to attend the
meeting. Then I found a young guy on the stage: Khun Mam-Chairuch. He
told the audience he had little work experience, but he now drives a
Lamborghini. He said he was 28 years old and had just bought a BMW
for his wife. Oh, all I got for my wife for the past 20 years were
flowers. He also said he was not the only one who had earned these
results. There were hundreds of people like him here. OMG!
I looked at myself. I
spent 19 years and lots of money. I spent $5 million for that
franchise and many more businesses just to earn income without having
to work.
But here in
Thailand, I found many young people: just 18 or 19 years old with
financial freedom. It’s like they just got a toy! Passive income
for them was just like a toy! How come? OMG! I thought, it’s
unbelievable. There’s no logic to this project. I did not believe
it was happening. Here people learn with Unipower for about six
months, and they could drive a Mercedes-Benz! What’s the logic
behind this?
Learning with Unipower
I thought I was already
rich. I thought I was already smart. But I came here to learn about
Unipower. I got home and built my organisation. I spent only five
months to become a fully qualified Presidential Director (earning a
minimum Bt300,000 per month). In only seven months, I moved up the
ranks to Presidential Sapphire (earning a minimum Bt500,000 per
month). I have many people following me, with teams from Bahrain,
Oman, Kuwait, Jordan, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, and most of other
Middle East countries.
Now I no longer spend my
time working to earn active income, and I can buy my wife a BMW.
Unipower is the ultimate money-making machine! Unipower is the
ultimate business school. Unipower can help people earn income and
help the poor acquire a better life by ridding the world of poverty.
I believe massive success
is the greatest revenge.
