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.

Fang Yuan & We Junqi( Doctor )

那时候我们刚来到新加坡不久，机缘巧合下认识Claire。我那时宝宝还小，正好需要做家庭理财和保险的规划，claire 给们分享了很多理财心得。在几次会面之后我们同意在大人和孩子都有基础保障的基础上，同时也把孩子的压岁钱都做了教育金规划。在我们的预算内，Claire做的方案考虑全面，也把我们的利益最大化，现在回想来很高兴当时有做这个决定。随后我们也常联系，经常还有公司的活动邀请我们一家，宝宝都玩得很开心。即使现在我们已经变成了朋友，Claire还是一样保留初心，没有半点怠慢。如果你也想要一个这个的顾问，我非常推荐Claire。
