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.

Jude Lim, Medical Social Worker

I met Ken at a roadshow – I’m not someone who enjoys getting approached by insurance agents, but he was patient and kind, not pushy about just selling products. Three years on, he is a trusted advisor and friend. He plans for me at my pace, and I feel comfortable enough to communicate openly with him about my financial needs and goals as they evolve. During the more intense seasons of the COVID pandemic, I can fully focus on other aspects of my life such as work, fully trusting that Ken is taking care of my portfolios and plans. If you’re looking for anyone to provide financial advice that you can relate to, Ken’s your guy!

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!!

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.

Ken is very helpful and patience in explaining the policies in details. He helped and recommended me the most suitable insurance plan (definitely no hard selling). He also responds quickly to all my queries, even on hospital admissions and claims. I will definitely recommend him to my friends and family!
