Our Founder,
YP LAI.
YP Lai is an accomplished author, coach, and speaker, currently serving as the National Director of BNI in both the Philippines and Thailand. As a BNI Master Global Trainer, he has coached numerous BNI Directors across the globe, including Asia, Australia & New Zealand, North & South America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
In his earlier years, YP was known for his relentless drive and ambition. Today, he shares the same proven system he developed to help others work less and earn more, empowering individuals to achieve success with greater ease and balance.
YP’s STORY:
I used to be highly-driven and extremely ambitious when I was younger…I wanted to ascend the corporate ladder and reach the peak of corporate success before the age of 35.
To achieve that goal, I was willing to work 80-100 hour workweeks…So I gave 110% (and sometimes more) at work.
I consistently put in overtime and all-nighters to show my boss that I was more deserving of the promotion than everyone else. The good news is that my hard work paid off…I was promoted to the highest position in my company in record time.
Yet, my stellar performance at work came at a cost.
I’d dine alone at odd hours without friends or colleagues (e.g. 3pm for lunch and 11pm for dinner). I returned past midnight and couldn’t spend quality time with my wife. Having spent most of my time working, I didn’t have time to exercise. That led to me becoming out of shape with love handles and a muffin top.
The final straw that broke the camel’s back was falling asleep while my wife was delivering our first child.
It was a wake-up call that echoed through every fiber of my being. I realized that my relentless pursuit of career success had cost me more than I bargained for.And that is being there for my wife when she needed me the most. As my wife was in deep labor pains, delivering our child, I held her hand to give her support.
But I could not hold back the waves of exhaustion…
For a moment, l put my head on the mattress, and the next thing I knew was…“WHACK!”
The nurse gave me a tight slap and scolded me harshly.
“How could you fall asleep (and even snore) when your wife is in so much pain? You are such a horrible and heartless man!”
What hurt me most was when I looked at my wife’s face. The look of anger, disgust, and disappointment is forever seared into my memory. Until today, whenever I think back about the moment, my wife’s glare continues to haunt me.
As I watched her, a surge of conflicting emotions overwhelmed me. It was a sea of guilt and regret.
Then I suddenly had a realization that struck me like a thunderbolt. I was a slave to the ticking clock of corporate ambition. All the accolades, promotions and achievements, the early mornings and late nights, the relentless pursuit of success…It all felt meaningless now.
What’s the point of notching professional victories when I’ve failed to care for the person closest to me?
That night, I made a vow.
I will not sacrifice other parts of my life for my career success.
I didn’t want to become an absent father…Neither did I want to become the husband who was never there…I did not want to be that out-of-shape CEO who makes 6-figures and yet can’t climb 60 steps of stairs.
This incident not only motivated me to change but also to innovate…
I started attending programs to become a bigger, better, and fitter version of myself. To create a Life Blueprint to work less by becoming more effective and productive…And to earn more from different sources of passive income.
I started to schedule time blocks away from work to become a better father and husband.
As I did this, I realized I could finish more things in less time with greater focus. I also improved my business by building a management team and delegating, hiring, and outsourcing…
To free up mundane and repetitive tasks by developing systems and processes. I also started to free up time for workouts… I engaged a physical trainer to kickstart my weight loss journey. In 4 months, I lost more than 40 pounds. After a year, I looked back, and I realized…
I had not only lost weight and became fitter…I had not only managed to become a better husband and father…I had become happier and more spiritually aligned with the Universe, attracting more Abundance into my life…I’ve even surpassed my business KPIs for the year by Q4, smashing my records from the previous year.
All while spending less time in the office working shorter hours…
This boggled my mind.
Because we were all led to believe that working longer hours equates to more results.
This exemplifies corporate culture…And it explains why some people happily stay in the office after work even if they don’t have much to do.After reflecting, I realized many corporate beliefs no longer serve me. Hence, I started to make plans to quit my job.
I started learning money management to save more money to invest. I learned how wealthy people make their money work harder for them, so I could speed up my wealth accumulation.
I started to learn how successful entrepreneurs run their businesses so I can start building multiple income streams. I began to coach others on how they could get more results while working less because that’s what I achieved myself. Within a year, I was financially sound enough to leave my job and focus on my entrepreneurial journey.
I went from employee to entrepreneur, joining BNI as a franchise owner for Penang in 2002. Four years later, I owned the country franchise for BNI Thailand, BNI Vietnam, BNI South Korea, and BNI Philippines.
That was the juncture my coaching business took off.
I was working with thousands of business owners and C-Suite corporate professionals worldwide, and I realized that many of them look successful on the surface.
However, they were stressed out with health, relationship, and cash flow challenges. Many earned high incomes but were slaves to their businesses or careers. And this is why I’ve launched The Work Less Earn More Program that I have used to achieve my own Time and Financial Freedom.
What’s even better is, I have invited Expert Consultants in my inner circle to become a part of The Work Less Earn More Academy.
Each Expert Consultant at the Workless Earn More Academy has been carefully selected because they have achieved results in their specialized areas, and they have helped hundreds if not thousands of people achieve the same with their proven track records.
