Understanding Chan Kang’s Mentor-Mentee Program

About Mentor-Mentee Program

Chan Kang’s Mentor-Mentee Program is an exclusive 1:1 coaching experience designed for individuals who demand real transformation. Built around our tagline: 

‘Procrastination Destroyer, Consistency Builder’ 

This program helps you eliminate delays, break destructive patterns, and create the discipline needed to achieve meaningful success. 

If you’re serious about elevating your performance and accelerating results, this is where change begins.

If this is what you're facing, this program is design for you!

You can set almost any kind of goal to achieve. For example, you may want to hit the gym to improve your physical shape, or you may want to learn a high-value skill such as video editing, or even start a side business to increase your income. 

However, here’s what often gets in the way:

Pain Points:

  • Procrastination — “Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow…” There’s always another tomorrow to start going to the gym, which means you never start today. Often, procrastination stems from a lack of external accountability (supervision).

  • Bad habits – You know ultra-processed food is bad, but it’s just too addictive to stop.

  • Lack of motivation – You want to learn a new skill, but you just can’t find the drive to begin.

  • Low energy – After a 9-to-5 job, you’re drained and can’t focus or “eat that frog.” People are never short of ideas; what they truly lack is the drive to take action.

  • Too many distractions – TikTok, Instagram, and everything else keep stealing your attention.

  • Chasing instant gratification – Like bad habits, you want quick dopamine hits: relaxing with TV instead of working out, choosing short-term comfort over long-term health benefits.

5-9 p.m. economy

Most of us fall into the ‘Employee’ category in Robert Kiyosaki’s ESBI (Cashflow Quadrant) model, which describes four ways people earn money: Employee, Self-Employed, Business Owner, and Investor. 

Assuming we need 7–8 hours of sleep and spend 9–5 at work, the remaining hours from 5–9 pm are crucial for pursuing personal goals and building the future we want.

3 main scarce resources daily to get the 1% better:

Even though we can squeeze out time — for example, between 8 PM to 10 PM before bed — for a workout, learning a new skill, picking up a language, or reading, our energy and focus are often already drained! 

We all have just 24 hours per day.

Like time, your energy is finite. How you rest, fuel, and manage stress determines how much you can actually get done.

Even with time and energy, without focus, you scatter your efforts. Guard your attention like treasure — it’s what turns effort into real progress.

That’s why we need a coach or mentor to act as a catalyst and motivator, pushing us to stay consistent.

This is exactly what this Mentor-Mentee program is designed to do.

Mentor-Mentee Program's Mechanisms

There are three key mechanisms behind this program that you should understand before joining: the SMART Goal framework, the Carrot-and-Stick approach, and Gamification.

What is the SMART Goal framework

1. Specific
Your goal must be clear and well-defined.
Example: Instead of “I want to be healthier,” say, “I will practice intermittent fasting daily, do prolonged fasting once a week, and go to the gym twice per week.”

2. Measurable
Your goal must include a way to track progress.
Example: Instead of “I want to earn more money,” say, “I will earn $3,000 per day by selling e-books, online courses, or other high-ticket products.”

3. Achievable
Your goal must be realistic for your current stage.
Example: Wanting to play in the English Premier League is unrealistic if you’re not yet a pro, but it sounds achievable if you’re already playing in Liga Malaysia.

4. Relevant
Break your main goal into smaller, actionable steps—and make sure each step directly contributes to your overall objective. 

5. Time-bound
Every goal must have a clear deadline. When goals have no specific timeline — “I can do it anytime” — they become difficult to execute.
Example: “I will complete this by the end of the quarter,” rather than leaving it open-ended.

This method combines rewards (the carrot) and consequences (the stick) to keep us accountable.

  • The carrot is the reward you may receive when you keep your promises and hit your targets.

  • The stick is the penalty or consequence you face if you fail to deliver on your commitments.

Gamification is the use of game-like elements, such as rewards, points, or progress tracking, to make tasks more engaging and motivating.

Staying consistent with tasks that are unpleasant but beneficial can feel challenging and even mundane. 

We encourage participants to gamify the process rather than treating it like a boss-driven KPI chase. 

By turning progress into a game — rewarding milestones, tracking achievements, and celebrating small wins — you stay motivated, engaged, and eager to keep going.

How to play this game?

How the program works?

I’ll invite all program participants into a private communication group where everyone can play the role of either mentor or mentee.

Step 1: Submit Your Mentee Challenge Request

  • Define your primary goal.
    Example: “Start my content creator journey and build my personal brand.”

  • Break it down into “micro-goals” using the SMART Goal Framework.
    Example: “Create and post one video per week (no longer than 3 minutes) on my social channels.”

  • State your ‘stick’ (punishment) if you fail to deliver.
    Example: “If I miss my target, I’ll treat my mentor to Starbucks, Chagee, or a meal (direct money reward transfer acceptable but capped at RM100).”

Step 2: Mentors Bet on Your Challenge

Mentors have two ways to engage: (choose either 1)

  • Bet On (Reward): I’ll bet on your success by treating you to Starbucks, Chagee, a meal, or transferring up to RM100 directly.

  • Hedge On (Join the Challenge): “I’ll take on the same challenge — creating and posting one video per week — to keep myself accountable too.”

Step 3: Accept or Reject the Challenge

The mentee reviews the mentor’s bet or hedge and chooses to accept or reject it before the challenge starts.

Once the challenge begins, the mentor–mentee relationship is formed, and all promises — both rewards and punishments — must be honored by both parties.

House Rules

  1. Be Friendly and Supportive 
    This isn’t your boss chasing KPIs or KRAs — it’s a challenge, not a chore. Treat everyone friendly and keep the game fun.
  2. Promises = Power-Ups 
    Once a mentor–mentee agreement is formed, all rewards (the carrot) and penalties (the stick) must be honored.
  3. No Rule-Breakers Allowed 
    If someone repeatedly ignores the rules or fails to keep their word, they risk being removed from the program to keep things fair for everyone.

Mentor's roles

Mentors are expected to act as motivators and catalysts, helping mentees stay on track and push through challenges. While expert guidance is a bonus, what matters most is being consistently supportive and encouraging.

Mentee's roles

Mentees are expected to honor the challenges they set for themselves, take full ownership of their progress, and maintain a respectful attitude toward their mentors and peers. 

In a nutshell

Why the Program is Created

It’s incredibly difficult to stay on track with a side business while managing a full-time job, even when you have a well-crafted to-do list that breaks tasks down hour by hour.

I realized I needed a better mechanism to stay consistent and productive.

For example, it took me two weeks just to complete a basic website revamp. That’s when it hit me: if I struggle to stay focused and productive despite having a plan, others must be facing the same challenge.

I believe everyone — whether you’re an entrepreneur, a student, or an ordinary office worker — can achieve more with the guidance of a coach or mentor who provides motivation, accountability, and the focus needed to maintain a truly productive rhythm.
