| 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.

Despite my repeated and incessant questions, she patiently answers them all, explaining what will be the options available given my situation at various points in life. While I thankfully haven't needed to make any major insurance claims, I have no doubt that I can depend on her should the need arise. | |  | | Siow Peng Xiang Jun is my go-to person for all my Commercial solutions. She has been there for our family since the start of our business and is still there whenever we require assistance.
She is well-versed with the financial products and business requirements, understands our financial standing very well and has been very supportive and responsive to all our needs.
Would definitely recommend her to anyone out there! | |  | | Li Lin I first met Xiang Jun as the Trainer of my Winter Internship. She was a really kind person who always put others first and never failed to be there for those in need. I admire how alert she is, and is always ready to settle any unexpected misfortunes.
By having her as a consultant, you will not have to worry that your problems cannot be settled in time. More importantly, she is sincere and responsible. She treats her clients like her friends/family and always wants the best for them. She provides constructive advice according to the needs of her clients and makes sure to follow up with all her clients thereafter.
I feel really blessed to have her as my agent too! :) | |  | | JT Choong I have known Miss Soh for a little over a year through my son. Through this short period of time, I had purchased a few short-term GE policies with her assistance. Each time, Miss Soh would take her time to patiently explain to me, the benefits (and possibilities) of each policy prior to my making the final decision. She demonstrated an innate ability to simplify and carefully explained, all the financial and insurance-related jargons that would otherwise have baffled non-finance-trained senior citizens like me. She had never attempted to force me into purchasing any policies that she had presented to me.
Recently and at my beckoning, Miss Soh and I had a 3-hour face-to-face meeting where she very carefully and painstakingly explained to me the various non-GE-related medical insurance policies that I had previously purchased. She also provided me excellent suggestions on how I could revamp my various medical polices to save on expenses at my present age.
I am extremely pleased with Miss Soh’s efforts; assisting me in planning my financial and insurance needs. She demonstrates care and compassion in helping me resolve my current financial and insurance needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Miss Soh to my friends and associates as and when the opportunity arises. | |  | | Jia Huan Xiang Jun embodies what it means to be a ‘personal’ financial advisor. She has never failed to wholly consider the unique circumstances of my (and probably all her client’s) financial circumstances, offering options which best suits my needs.
Xiang Jun is also always generous with her time and attention to details. This allows me to rest easy in the knowledge that I have all the necessary information to make the most prudent financial decisions, as well as the means to do it with Xiang Jun’s help.
Most importantly, she has an increasingly rare trait: sincerity in her determination to ensure the best possible outcome for her clients. While I can’t claim to always make the best financial decisions, choosing Xiang Jun as my advisor is definitely one of them. | |  | | Zi Yi Xiang Jun is patient and clear in explaining the different policies available. She understood my financial situation and suggested a plan which was suitable for my budget and covered my most essential needs. She is responsive and is always willing to go the extra mile. Thankful to have her as my agent :) | | | | |
