A Monthly Curated Newsletter

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.

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!"
