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.

Cecilia Chew - Cabin Crew

This covid period really is a wake up call for most of us to get ourselves better insured - because you can never predict the future on what's going to happen next. What's better than looking for someone that's in the field for many years, reliable and comfortable asking questions that I find myself too stupid to ask. (lol) Hit him up if you're looking to review/upgrade your existing policies guys! Super friendly Financial Consultant that's willing to go extra mile for people!!

Jobu, Business Development Director

Ken is very experienced in financial planning and understands the market very well. His insights and knowledge of various segments can give you exponential growth to your monetary reserves. I strongly recommend Ken for a quick assessment to understand your needs and drive this further.

Legal Secretary

Ken is very detailed, listening and understanding my plans and budget to plan out accordingly. He explains all my insurance plans patiently, answering every question and helping me see other future options. Client-oriented and not pushy at all, he gives great advice and suggestions to stay on top of my finances.

Ang Tze Min, Accountant

I've known Ken for 9 years now. He is accommodating, knowledgeable, honest, passionate, empathetic and... awesome by just being himself! Insurance is a necessity and I am grateful to be able to rely on him for my polices. He cares about his clients and I can feel that. If any of my family or friends ever require financial advice, I will not hesitate to bring them out for some kbbq with Ken.

Justin Tan, Software Engineer

Ken is incredibly transparent about policy terms. He focuses on identifying my actual protection gaps rather than just trying to hit a sales. Ken is my go-to for insurance because he’s efficient and honest. He respects your time and your wallet, focusing on the right protection rather than the most expensive plan.
