Hi guys,
I finally published my book, Action Guide for US Immigrants, last month.
I am so honored to share with you that it’s been #1 New Release in some categories until
today.
Many reviewers say, "This is not just for US immigrants but an
excellent practical guide in general life skills for EVERYONE.”
Also, I’ve been featured on some medias as a top selling author, such as Book Reader
Magazine, Awesome Gang, etc.
This book is very short, only about 160 pages, and easy-to-read to anyone.
Here is the link for the book page on Amazon in the comment section.
Let me tell you why I wrote this book.
I came to San Francisco to work for a company in 2009.
I liked working with new people.
My kids, at that time, were 9 and 12 years old.
They were very happy with their friends at school.
And my wife also enjoyed life in the US.
So, we felt like we were living in a dream.
But, that dream did not last long.
Only after six months, the company suddenly went bankrupt.
So, I still remember, on that day, when I came out of the office, the sky looked red
to me.
My head was spinning.
I didn’t know what to do.
And I came home, sat down on the dinner table that night, I looked around my family.
They looked so happy, talking about their day with big smiles on their faces, you know.
I was not able to say anything, any word about the disastrous situation I was in.
I left home early in the morning, every morning, as if I were going to the office.
I stayed in a like Starbucks, or coffeeshops, all day long looking for jobs.
But, for a foreigner who needed work visa sponsorship, it was touch to get a job.
If I didn’t get a job within three months, I was supposed to be kicked out of the country.
It was the most difficult time of my life.
But in the darkest hours, hope was always on the horizon.
I met an investor and started a company together.
Since then, I have had countless ups and downs but learned a lot over the course.
So, I wanted to share all those lessons with you.
So, this book is a story about hope, comprehensive guide, and inspiration for people who are
working hard to fulfill their dreams.
This is packed with proven strategies, information, tips, tools, and action items you can apply
immediately at work and life, and live your best life in the US.
But, once again, my book reviewers say, “As I read deeper into the book, I felt
this book is for everyone, like a life skills bible.”
Let’s dive in to the book to see why my book reviewers say so.
This book is divided into 5 sections: Section 1: How to Speak English Like a Native
Speaker in Three Months (Self-study, at home, no cost, step-by-step
practice)
If you can read and write English but have no confidence in listening and speaking, read
this section and follow the practice step by step.
I put in the essence of all the proven English improvement skills I’ve introduced in my
videos so far and more.
If you practice with this, you will be amazed how quickly you can speak English like a native
speaker.
Section 2: How to Settle Down ASAP and Enjoy Life in Your Community
(What I wish I knew when I arrived in San Francisco)
Imagine you moved to another country with your family to live there.
It is a totally different story than you travel to another country for fun.
You know, from renting an apartment, buying a car, to going to a hospital, everything
is new to you.
So, I had to ask people for advices and answers but, half was right, half was wrong.
I had to learn everything from scratch, trial and error, while paying high cost.
Read this section, and you will get a lot of great ideas how to adapt yourself to the
new environment and save tremendous amount of time, energy, and money to settle down.
Section 3: How to Work Smart with American Colleagues and Customers
(Lessons from business pros and corporate culture in Silicon Valley)
I worked for a Fortune company in my home country for more than a decade.
But when I started working with American people on a daily basis, I was really shocked by
the differences in the way of doing businesses.
Especially for me as an Asian, almost everything was totally the opposite.
For example, I was used to get orders from my boss, do the jobs given, set safe goals,
and work in the office everyday until late night.
But, most Americans I met had freedom to work anywhere, anytime on their projects and tasks,
as long as they meet the performance goals.
Besides, there were no penalties for failures.
Rather, they considered them as great opportunities to learn and move forward.
I was totally lost in the beginning.
In this section, I explain where the differences came from and provide practical tips and information
on how to overcome the obstacles and become a confident businessman in American workplaces.
Section 4: How to Send Children to Top Colleges, Pay No Tuition, Find Ideal Jobs, and Build
a Happy Family (Secrets that no one will tell you)
My son graduated from a top-ranked college and paid no tuition.
My wife also went to a college here in the states and became a medical professional.
I will share with you the tips and secrets how to help your family members find their
unique talents and passion, select the right major and college, receive scholarships and
grants, and start a career in their dream occupations.
Section 5: How to Keep on Track to Achieve Your American Dream
(I did it, and you can do it too!)
What is your dream?
What is your vision?
I had 10 goals in my mind to achieve in 10 years when I arrived in the states.
I have achieved nine of them so far.
Now, I am working hard on another set of ten-year goals.
This section is all about the mindset, framework, and practices that will help you establish
your goals, stay on track, and live the dream.
As you see, I am just an average person but made 9 out of 10 big goals.
So, I did it, that means you can do that too.
Or actually, I believe you can do it better!
Apply this section to your daily life.
This will help you realize your New Year resolution.
I hope you can apply the lessons and action items in this book wherever you think applicable.
They will help you make a positive impact on your work and life.
