| 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. | | To reach beyond your limits by training your mind | Marisa Peer | TEDxKCS  | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

© Soh Xiang Jun, All rights reserved. | |  | | 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. | |  | | 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! | |  | | Kang Wee A personal financial adviser needs to be reliable, empathetic and trustworthy, and Xiang Jun embodies all these qualities. 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. | |  | | 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 :) | |  | | David My previous servicing agent from GE left and Xiang Jun was allocated to me as my new consultant.
Just simply based on her name, I didn't even realise she was a girl and at a much younger age than I am! But that didn't matter.
She is very willing to share her very insightful knowledge with me and allows me sufficient time for my every decision. Being an Otaku, other than depending on Google for information, her advice has also helped me substantially in making more informed decisions on my insurance and financial planning portfolio.
I'm definitely looking forward to maintaining our advisor-client relationship moving ahead. | | | | |
