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.

He is dedicated and meticulous in answering any clarifications you might have and will follow up with me on quarterly basis to review my financial portfolio. Most importantly, he is able to explain and transpire sophisticated financial planning solutions into something that is easy to understand and digest. Kudos to the effort made by Weibin, definitely he is the best person out there to reach out to in terms of financial planning. | | | Chloe (Designer) Weibin is very passionate about being able to help people who needs financial advice. He doesn't pressure anyone to buy anything but recommended the suitable options based on the client's needs. He is willing to go the extra mile to provide support and guidance.
An example of an issue I had previously was that I had multiple policies which are not necessary and some are those that previous insurance agents from other companies pressured me into purchasing, by saying I need these policies even after I rejected (but ended up getting due to their pressure), which resulted in me being unable to sustain paying for the premiums and they became a dead weight which added onto my financial woes.
Weibin aided me in doing a thorough review and advising which are the policies which I do not require at all and recommended what is best for me after listening. Now I'm debt-free and able to start saving little by little for my future which I'm grateful for.
He is also patient and approachable which I feel I can open up to and talk to easily without worrying about getting the wrong policies or making the wrong decisions again. 👍🏻 | | | Shermaine (Fresh Graduate) I got to know Weibin when he approached me at the MRT station. At first, I was skeptical about all these financial plans because a lot of people are promoting it and they were always very pushy. However, when I met Weibin, not only did he explain the plans patiently and clarified my doubts, he did not insist on selling it to me when I told him I could not start the plan right away due to me having no income. He continued to follow up with me and that slowly gained my trust. Few months later, I started my first savings plan with him and I did not regret it. One thing that I like about his service is that he always gives his best to help his clients to achieve their goals such as using an interesting software to project the cashflow over the years to help us to manage our money. I would highly recommend my friends who need advises on financial planning and insurance to him! | | | Wen Xin (Software Engineer) My wife and I have purchased Prudential insurance policies from Weibin and I have to say he is friendly, informative, attentive, prompt, responsible, and I found his advice on health/life insurance and saving plans are valuable. I will definitely recommend Weibin to my friends and family who need insurance advice.
