As humans, the pursuit of change and progress is something that is innate to every one of us. Like it or not, there will always be things in life that we hope could be a little different, a little better in the way that daily situations & events turn out. It could be in the way we think, speak, or the way we handle everything from our finances to our relationships with others. We seek to become better -- and we should. As we strive to continuously exceed our potential, we rise above all previous versions of ourselves and grow stronger. In this issue, we look at some ways in which we can embrace a better self and an even better future.

The Relentless Pursuit of Improvement

It is no secret that I believe growth is the only guarantee that tomorrow will be better. It is no mystery that I think personal growth is the steppingstone to success for any leader. If you or I want to stay in front of the curve and lead others, then we must do the work that keeps us out front. We must continually improve. But as I seek to improve, there is one thing I know not to chase, and that is perfection. Perfection is a trap. Do not chase perfection as a leader - chase improvement. Make today better than yesterday so tomorrow can be better than today. The relentless pursuit of improvement will take any leader far.

I used to be jealous of other people's wealth and success - here is how I finally got over it

Envy. It is an emotion that we all feel at some point. It is also a really dangerous emotion when we are trying to build a strong financial life. Envy is pure poison to a healthy financial life. After all, envy encourages us to make some pretty poor decisions. Like every other character flaw, however, envy can be overcome. You can directly reduce the envy itself, or you can at least reduce the bad choices you make as a result of envy. Here are seven strategies I use to cut envy out of my own life.

Judy Tan

When we purchase insurance, we are not only buying the product, but also the service rendered by the advisor. Due to this, it is important to have a good adviser who will stay with you in time of need. Karen is my family adviser and she had been a great help to me when I met an accident while holidaying on Norway. From the time of call to her, she had been a great help, liaising with my travel insurer on medical attention, talking to my surgeon to explore possible treatments and finally, the arrangement to fly back for my op. And finally arranging for my local and overseas medical claim. I will definitely recommend Karen to anyone looking for a responsible and capable adviser. Your finances and family will be in good hands.

Siew Chi

Karen is my ex-colleague and when I found out that she is joining her husband in the insurance line, I got in touch to see if she can recommend me a plan to replace my existing one. Through our correspondence, I find her extremely prompt in her responses be it via messaging or via email. Her follow up skills are commendable and I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is keen to seek financial advice.

Karen is my cousin and she's been a great help and resource to our family's financial planning so far. I'm sure your meeting with her will benefit you & your family greatly. You can also tap on her knowledge should you need an advice/opinion.

Allyson Ong

Wesley has been my financial planner for the past 10 Years. He is always sincere, and always think a step ahead for his clients. His service is excellent, and he is always an sms/call away. This is what let him stand out from other financial advisers. With Karen helping him in his career, she is amazingly sharp and is able to give great advice with her sound financial background. No one likes to buy insurance from hit and run agents. If you want good customization to your planning needs and super efficient follow-up service especially in times of urgent advice and claims, I am confident Wesley and Karen are the perfect financial planners to go to. :)

"Buying insurance feels like finding things in the dark without a torch. As such, a financial adviser will need to have sounds knowledge to shed light about policies and its complicated jargons. Karen is very knowledgeable with ultra patience level but what sets her apart from other adviser is her efficiency. She responds to queries with lightning speed. We are glad to have her handling our future plans!"
