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.

Kudos to Kian Siong! Wonderful time working with him | | | Mr Kwa I have known Kian Siong since 2018. He started with helping me with my car insurance and over time, i have found him to be trustworthy, and knowledgeable in his recommendations.
Today, I have looked for him to take care of my Personal Accident Needs. He was the only one that replied to my queries. He was also patient in explaining all the details to me to ensure I am well informed before i make my decision.
Thank you for the good work! | | | Ms Oh I got to know Kian Siong as the new advisor taking over my portfolio after my previous advisor left.

Thank you Kian Siong | | | Ms Lee I met Kian Siong when he was a personal banker some 10 years ago, and ever since then, he has always been trustworthy and always adding value to my financial planning as well as my family.

Experiencing the happy times and the not so happy times together. Watching me grow up and in turn, me watching their children grow up to be the filial kids that they are today. I guess this is what family is all about.
Today, I have the honour and the privilege to help my cousin plan for her family, ensuring that when the inevitable happens, there will be proper instructions on who gets what and how its going to be done.
Really grateful to be able to showcase my experience and expertise to my family members and most importantly, using my experience and expertise to apply to their unique family situation gives me invaluable satisfaction to my career. | | | | |
