| In life, there are days and moments where everything we do does not feel enough, or face situations that are beyond our control. A common response to such instances is to doubt ourselves and our abilities, and that is a very normal and human thing to do. But the effect of self-doubt can cut both ways: It can either spur us to achieve our goals and thereby boost our confidence levels, or cause us to feel entirely powerless and paralysed. Fortunately, whether we allow it to work for or against us is mostly up to us. In this issue, we will explore the ways in which we can harness self-doubt to build confidence -- one step at a time. | | Moving from Self Doubt to Self Confidence It would be nice if moving from self doubt to self confidence just came naturally. However, moving from self doubt to self confidence is a practice you can adopt, with practice. When you are able to identify where your insecurities lie and what is stopping you from feeling confident, you can then start the process of moving from self doubt to self confidence. You will be able to work on eliminating the blocks that are keeping you from moving through life with assuredness. Here are some of the culprits for the patterns of self doubt and ideas for what you can do about them. | | Why confidence and knowledge can lead to smart money decisions Two common areas that cause people to procrastinate financially are knowledge and confidence. Logically, we know that financial literacy can boost our confidence to make informed money-management decisions. Yet, many people tell me that they lack the confidence to learn and absorb that financial knowledge, which holds them back. However, everybody is capable of effectively managing their money. While some need mindset adjustments, others need a confidence boost or a little reassurance that they are on the right track. Take small steps, follow and when doubt starts to creep in, remind yourself that money is only a tool and you are learning. | | 9 Habits That Are Destroying Your Confidence  | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

Therefore, I only trust the people I know. All my plans are brought from friends and relatives. After I bought my first plan from my friend, he was good for the first few years. But disappears after that. I thought I can rely on my friend but disappointed that he did not contact or keep in touch for a long time. Thereafter, a new agent provided his service but also stopped after a short period. And I met Simon! He is really very professional, accord great service and always very patient in helping me with the changes in my plans. The most touching part is that’s he really make effort to keep in touch in the nicest way which I truly appreciate. I will definitely recommend him to anyone that needs professional help in their insurance plans. | |  | | Ashlyn, IT Analyst I was introduced to simon by a close friend. My policies was managed by another friend then, who i supported when he first got into financial advisory. My friend-agent was comission driven rather than putting my interest/needs into consideration. I am thankful to have meet simon, and he is more then willing to have all my policies transfered to him so he could manage it holistically despite not earning a dime to my existing policies. He have been still managing them till date, and have been very helpful and proactively contacting me on a regularly basis to review my policies and share new policies thats applicable to best of my interests after understanding my ever-changing concerns. No regrets in changing agents years back, one of the wiser decision i made! Thanks simon. | |  | | Lynn, Accountant I’ve had my fair share of experience with financial planners , typically coming across as opportunistic and hard sellers which made me avoid them at all costs.
Simon has been a breath of fresh air. He is not only down to earth, but also pragmatic.
In the last 6 years, Simon has been supporting my financial planning needs, always at hand with great advice.
Thanks Simon! | |  | | Kia Choon, Remiser Simon has been serving me for more than 10 years diligently. I got to know him from cold call and initially I was skeptical but his sincere services build the trust over time. He showed that he really care about my actual needs and is always very patient in his explanations of various questions I have regardless how much details I require. He has shown his professionalism and knowledge time and over again. I feel secure to have entrusted my families’ portfolio with him. He is definitely someone that you can fully entrust to and I would strongly recommend him. | |  | | Manfred, Sales Manager Simon has been a trusted advisor for last 10 years.
