| 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.

Thank you so much for your assistance in helping us and recommending on the right package of insurance coverage and investment suggestions. Along the way we have encountered multiples consultant where mostly are only suggesting base on what they think is good but not for us. You are typically different as you will base on whats better for your customer in accordance to their needs and want. And you are being very helpful when it comes to claiming process and progress. Being patience and detail in explanation of yours which have taken our heart as loyalty and trust which might be a better words to describe your professionalism. Once again. Thank you for all the assistance and patience.
Your loyal customer/friends/supporters,
| |  | | Uncle Chew, Aunty Lena & Family Brian is a good representation of professionalism. Furthermore, his services have consistently exceeded our expectations.
When selling policies, he had patiently strove to fully understand our circumstances and helped us nailed down our needs succinctly. When done, he offered options and advices that help us made the right choices.
When requested, he had no hesitation to take over AIA policies purchased earlier from other financial consultants plus diligently helped submit and followed through when claims were initiated.
What I am most grateful for was, when I met with an accident in a foreign country, his assistance with advices on what needs done and helped coordinated the hospitalization and surgery. Furthermore, we really appreciated his helping us in seeing through the end-to-end medical claim process seamlessly.
We are blessed to have Brian as our financial consultant not only for my wife and I but also for our two grown up children. | |  | | Tiffany Woo.Staff Nurse After an accident requiring surgery in 2016, I realised the importance of insurance but was at a loss on where to get started. I was introduced to Brian at the time. 4 years down the road, he has not only become my insurance planner, but also a great financial advisor and friend. He is unlike other agents. Brian really explains policies in a way that I can understand. He is also willing to just sit and discuss, as well as teach investment concepts and strategies to a first-timer like me. A efficient, knowledgeable, reliable and most importantly, trustworthy, agent - I have not trusted anyone else with my policies since. Hope to continue to working with him for many years to come! (: | |  | | Julien BEHURET & Family I know Brian for more than a decade. I consider Brian as my family. He has always been there for us. Brian is a great professional. His knowledge and experience are extremely valuable. I know we can rely on him, I know we can trust him.
Brian has always put our interests and protection first, advising us what were best. I remember my first discussion with him. I was impressed how Brian took complexity out of the conversation, and explained me what I should consider to do.
During difficult and critical times, Brian is the first person I call. He has always been available 24/7 and showed great humanity, love and empathy. Unfortunately accidents in life happen, but knowing that you have the right cover, make you focus on what matters.
Brian is my family, a great friend and a trustworthy agent.
Merci du fond du coeur mon cher aim !
