| 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.

| |  | | Lisa Robins Pauze I am writing to express my appreciation for your assistance in trying to find appropriate health insurance for my husband and me. We were under tight time pressure when we reached out to you and you jumped in and found some alternatives over a weekend. Very few people would have been as responsive as you were and we wanted you to know that it did not go unnoticed.
Although we ended up going with a different service, I wanted to be sure to express my appreciation for your efforts and would surely recommend you to other individuals.
Thank you and wishing you the best for 2021. | |  | | Lilian Loke, HR Consultant Thank you for your great services over the years. You have helped me tied over difficult times with your patience, time and efforts in explaining to me and helping me planned out my finances so that I am more stable and feel more secure now.
Joseph would spend hours or even days or weeks just to make sure I fully understand what he has planned out for me. And he would go to the extent to draw it on paper so that I can fully visualize things. Most importantly, I can feel he wants to help and do his best for me.
Joseph's dedication and sincerity in wanting to help others has won my admiration and praises. He is definitely someone you can rely on and a friend to keep. | |  | | Lesley Ho, Senior Vice President - Global QA Operations/Vendor Management (Li& Fung (Singapore) Pte Ltd) Joseph only started to work with me as my financial consultant 2 years ago when Professional Investment Advisory Services Pte Ltd came to my office to do a lunch talk and recommend him to me. Even though I really do not need another financial consultant because most of my investments are well taken care of, I decided to give him a try because I had made a decision to consolidate a number of my ad-hoc investments as they were not being looked after properly. The move to switch my investments from one of the banks to PIAS turned out to be the right move because Joseph personally reviewed the entire portfolio and recommended some changed for better balance. He is very thorough & knowledgeable, taking the time to explain each investment to me. He also makes effort to ensure that the recommended investments fit my financial goals. Because of his thorough and personal approach, I have been recommending my friends, both seasoned and new investors to Joseph. I am sure anyone will find Joseph to be a great asset in helping to meet your personal financial goals of wealth growth or preservation. Besides Joseph is also extremely helpful and thoughtful, even going to the extent of keeping me informed on the various aspects of Singapore Government policies and helping me gain an understanding the impact it will have on me personally. This is critical for me as I am constantly travelling due to my work and could miss important government announcements or policies while away. Thank you Joseph, for doing a great job! | |  | | Dr Nor Azhari Bin Mohd Zam (Urology, SGH) Joseph took over from my previous adviser who left PIAS to pursue a different career. Initially I was a little upset as I had built a relationship with my previous adviser for the past 4 years.
However Joseph slowly won me over with his sincerity and resourcefulness. Whenever he recommends any product, he takes extra effort in presenting to me the alternatives and explaining why a certain plan is more suited to my needs. He has done a good job so far and I hope he stays in the business for a long time to come! | |  | | Dr Darren Seah Joseph has been providing sound advice and impeccable service to me and my family for 3 years now. He presents fair and balanced views that assist me in making financial decisions. He understands my needs for future financial security as well as adequate protection for my family. He is able to translate the policies to allow a lay person like myself to understand the solutions he offered. I’m glad to have been able to benefit from his top-notch service indeed. | | undefined | | |
