Ramli have been an entrepreneur since he turned 40 on 1stNov,1996 and have invested almost half a  million ringgit in his business of training&consulting,sports promotions and trading of both Malaysian and Overseas products and services.

Ramli is still not a Millionaire although through the years he have sales turnover over a Million Ringgit or more but almost this 14 years in business Ramli still believe in doing business the “right way” with minimal “under table” deals,”feeding” the clients,”dont care less” attitude of supplies and orders plus many more business practices that are “not standard” or bad practices.Ramli prefer the age old ways of doing business ethically,with respect,honest,trust and most of all the good practices that are valued by civilised societies and communities.

Many business people nowadays in Malaysia believe gone are the days of being honest,trustworthy and sincere in our business dealings!Everyone in the hierarchy in the corporate sector or government “are on the take” as some tend to believe strongly and if you are not the “me too” type,you will not get any projects and become miserable all your life since no projects mean no business and no income and that means no food or salary for your staff and family.

The working life or city life is a “rat race” as many believe and if you are not fast,friendly,flexible and focus you will lose the race and end up being a poor performer or never hit your kpis’ and that mean more miseries..

Ramli realized all the ‘pasar malam” or “pasar tani” business people tend to be very happy lot and although their business model need them to work almost round the clock but they are happy because there are less politics,less hindrances of “undertable” dealings,less favouritism and better business environment everyday.Why?

Its because they deal directly with customers in an open marketplace,lots of competition but fair one,the best food gets sold faster,the more customer friendly gets more sales and customer loyalty and host of other fair and good business practices..

In other business environments like dealing with the GLCs,MNCs,PLCs,SMEs and Govt agencies or ministries,the threat or obstacles to create a sale or getting a project or purchase is “one kind of a story or journey” Maybe thats why we hear lots of cases of “rasuah” or bribes in all forms,cheating,poor leadership,undercutting of prices,overpricing and so many other bad practices and maybe thats why the Anti Corruption Agency or now with the new name (cant remember) and other law enforcement agencies are so busy with reports and solving all these CBTs and crooks!

Our unhealthy lifestyle of “big spenders” and living in excess is part of the main reason why people go for bribes and bad practices in their work especially if they hold some power to make decisions or approve budgets and requisition of purchases!

Ramli loves to do business like in the Friday marketplace at around the mosques where anyone can open up his/her stall (some places you must reserve ur place and pay the day’s rental)and you do business with openness,no worry of bribes or corrupt officials!

However,with greed in place,some of these areas even in the marketplace like the mosques or shopping zones have succumbed to “politics” and only the well connected person get the stalls or business opportunities!Why this is happening?

For a Muslim who understand the religion very well then he/she realized all “rezeki” is pre determined by Allah SWT and we just pray and pray that Allah SWT will protect us and blessed us all the time.Wealth on earth is temporary but happiness at the Hereafter is more important,permanent and more blissful.A good muslim also do not depend on the high officials for his income or wealth building but it is more from Allah SWT and thats matters.So no need to “ampu bode” or “pay homage” to these Top Officials or Bosses or Super Bosses because they are just like YOU and they too depend on Allah SWT (God Almighty) for their great future and if Allah SWT wants to “pull” or “sealed” their fate with hardships or miseries,HE can do that “at once” -Qun Faya Qun…

So,Ramli’s Business Journey goes on as it has been many years before and all the mistakes and errors that Ramli have made in his business or decisions will need to be resolved and make sure it is not repeated and Inshallah,with Allah SWT Blessings and Mercy,Ramli’s business will grow and grow to help please many stakeholders that is Ramli,his Family,his Relatives,his Friends and all that matters.

All Bad Business Practices that may have made some people so rich and wealthy will not be Ramli’s way of life BUT Ramli will always practice the Good Ways and Halal Ways that Allah SWT allows and blessed us.Thats Better.Inshallah.

Ramli have written his book titled “Revolusi Aksi” or Action Revolution in 2006 and the book actual released to the Malaysian market was on 24thMarch,2006 during the KL International Book Fair held at PWTC in KL.

Ramli have written many articles and have tried many ways to promote,teach and build communities of Revolusi Aksi practitioners especially in Malaysia.

Now,Ramli once again want to emphasised the importance of the 3Es’ factor in this Revolusi Aksi Philosophy and Methodology of making sure we get the RIGHT Results with the RIGHT Actions!

The first of the 3Es  is EXCELLENCE.

To achieve Excellence in our work and play we must aim for the best always.Normally Leaders must possess this attribute of becoming an Excellent Person ie.a person with Great Mind,Great Action,Great Dynamism,Great Preseverance,Great Leadership and many other attributes of a Great Leader.

To achieve Excellence we must also know what is World Class Performance ie.the best among the best in the World.Like in Ramli’s teaching of World Class Performance,Ramli stressed the World Class Performance is like participation in the Olympics where you must be the best of the best atheletes to reach the FINAL of the particular event.Only when YOU are in the FINAL can you consider as the best in the world and if you win the Final race then you become the Champion or No.1 in the World!

Motorola is a World Class Company because it strieve so hard in 1982 when one of the Directors mentioned that “Motorola Quality really stinks” and so Motorola decided that they must improve towards Excellence!

So,Motorola initiated their many actions in this 6Sigma Journey of Excellence and through the 10 years or so,Motorola finally achieve “their quality that smells like perfume where they now tolerate only about 3 defects per million production” and that have helped them to improve their business,their reputation as far as quality of their products and services are concerned and also quality of the people or talents.

Excellence must be a passion especially among Leaders and if Leaders do not go for excellence then don’t be a Leader just be a Follower!

Excellence must be a Prerequisite for Top Management candidates and only with this excellence in whatever they do can move the organization to that World Class Levels of Performances.

Next of the 3Es is Excitement.

All people must show excitement in their work and play.Excitement is all about being happy and enthusiastic because something good is going to happen at your workplace or at home!

Once the Top Management have introduce the Business Plan of the Year,all Middle Management must show their support by actively and enthusiastically promoting and stressing the contents of the Business Plan to their many subordinates especially the workers level.

Excitement must now be a prerequisite for Middle Managers levels so that together with Top Management Excellence and Middle Management Excitement then we can achieve many things we want in our business or family since the Revolusi Aksi is now moving full steam ahead and will work as planned!

However without the application of the last of the 3Es ie.Enthusiasm especially from the Workers level then it is so difficult to achieve World Class because we need all 3 levels of commitment,cooperation and collaboration to work in any company or entity concerned!

Ramli once read from Tan Sri Konosuke Matsushita’s teachings that with enthusiasm a worker that is not smart or have higher education qualifications can still outperform others around them because their enthusiasm will become like a “magnet” that attracts all the “iron fillings” (people) around them and that moves the organization to World Class Performances also.

So,all workers must possess this Enthusiasm together with Excitement (among Middle Managers) and Excellence (among Top Management).

All these 3Es can also be possessed by all levels of Management in a company through training and practice preferably through projects based but like Ramli have emphasized earlier each strata of Management have their core competencies to achieve and with these 3Es of Revolusi Aksi at least attaining World Class Performances is no more a dream but a Road of Hope and Certainties assured.Inshallah.
