As humans, the pursuit of change and progress is something that is innate to every one of us. Like it or not, there will always be things in life that we hope could be a little different, a little better in the way that daily situations & events turn out. It could be in the way we think, speak, or the way we handle everything from our finances to our relationships with others. We seek to become better -- and we should. As we strive to continuously exceed our potential, we rise above all previous versions of ourselves and grow stronger. In this issue, we look at some ways in which we can embrace a better self and an even better future.

The Relentless Pursuit of Improvement

It is no secret that I believe growth is the only guarantee that tomorrow will be better. It is no mystery that I think personal growth is the steppingstone to success for any leader. If you or I want to stay in front of the curve and lead others, then we must do the work that keeps us out front. We must continually improve. But as I seek to improve, there is one thing I know not to chase, and that is perfection. Perfection is a trap. Do not chase perfection as a leader - chase improvement. Make today better than yesterday so tomorrow can be better than today. The relentless pursuit of improvement will take any leader far.

I used to be jealous of other people's wealth and success - here is how I finally got over it

Envy. It is an emotion that we all feel at some point. It is also a really dangerous emotion when we are trying to build a strong financial life. Envy is pure poison to a healthy financial life. After all, envy encourages us to make some pretty poor decisions. Like every other character flaw, however, envy can be overcome. You can directly reduce the envy itself, or you can at least reduce the bad choices you make as a result of envy. Here are seven strategies I use to cut envy out of my own life.

Garry Lee Meng Yeong Trainer Finance

Alexander is caring, detailed and meticulous in his ways to support his client and friends. I was very lucky that he came to do a review for me when he did. In a short time he not only reviewed the many policies I had, he quickly and clearly surfaced to me that I had no hospital coverage of my own. From this incident and also from knowing Alexander for years, I know I can count of him and his analytical mind to offer insight and surface any gaps and issues on any financial matters.

Danny Yong Personal Coach Alpha Beast Fitness

Alex is a spontaneous & helpful advisor whom will access the client's needs & purpose with the best policy that is relevant to the client. I will vouch that he is definitely great in this area and he let me understand what I am paying for, so that I have the best knowledge of the policies which I had embarked on. I like his sincerity and effort in his work. In my opinion anyone who are in need of a saving plan policy, medical coverage or investments will benefit from Alex's services.

Eldo Joy Senior Software Engineer

Alexander was assigned to me as the new consultant to me last year. It was nice for him to drop by and share the updates on the policy. He was professional and helped with our enquiries. We took a new policy and he helped us to get it done with timely assistance. Hoping to get his advice in future as well.

Angela Oh, Real Estate Agent Propnex

Alexander does very detailed and comprehensive work. I like that he is very understanding and is not pushy. He gives me the time and space to decide for myself and when I buy I feel comfortable to get it from him.

Damianlyn Ancheta Ribad Beauty Advisor LG & H&H Singapore Pte LTD

Alex comes as a genuinely professional individual who is committed to serve his clients; very much approachable and responsive to qeuries and requests. Alex's willingness to go the extra mile to find answers and resolve claims to help his clients is appreciable. I was blessed when he help resolved claims that were stuck for months due to some clerical error on the hospital end. He resolved it for me by engaging both the hospital and Prudential for me. The three key qualities that makes a good Financial Planner: “Responsive”, “Reliable” and “Customer first”. Alex possesses it all. He is always there whenever help is needed on insurance matters, hospital admission, and claims. Individuals with hospitalisation coverage needs will benefit from meeting Alex and am sure he would be able to help with other insurance and investment planning as well.
