| 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.

© Alex Kong, All rights reserved. | |  | | Alice Eliza Koh, Retiree I was introduced to Alex by my sister who greatly appreciated his good customer service, detailed explanation, good followup and recommendations, patience and always approachable and who readily make himself available to meet to explain the policy or whatever understanding needed .
I found him to be good and wished I had known him earlier so I could be wiser in my purchase of health and fund policies that meet my needs and not the need of the agent for better commission
Though busy, he still followup and only 1 call away whenever I have issues to discuss
Recently I called for meeting to discuss my Prudential funds and to better understand the recent host of cancer related coverage on the daily news. He not only came to meet promptly upon my call but came prepared with printouts and presentation. I am impressed with his service and has no hesitation to recommend him to whoever are looking for a good insurance consultant/ advisor | |  | | Aiza Anti-aging Consultant Wellness I’ve known Alex Kong for many years. I know he has been through a lot of growing, learning and challenges in his life. Throughout, he’s been gracious, patient and a gentleman. He likes to learn and he likes to share and help others. He has a wonderful ability to grasp and put together his many knowledge of health, investment and insurance and share it simply to add value and benefit to others. I’d highly recommend to give Alex a chance to share with you what he knows. He looks unassuming but his big heart and big head (in him, these are positive traits😁) have always endeared him to his friends and clients. | |  | | 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. | |  | | Palanivelu Hotel Concierge Manager I have known Alexander only for a short while but he has done a great many service both as an adviser as well as a friend. I have seen him being there to help my late friend's family Michael Chua to go through the difficult and trying times. He made sure all the insurance matters are settle and the family was able to focus on grieving and putting their life back together. He listens to them and help them whenever possible.
He even help me with personal problems by finding solutions to resolve them. When I had trouble processing medical claims, he would come over and sort it out and be the key link between himself, the hospital and Prudential. I would be unable to resolve it if Alex had not been there. I know I can count on him to help me understand and resolve the challenges I face. A good agent and friend in times of need. | |  | | 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. | |  | | Princess Inocencio Reyes I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Alex Kong for the exceptional assistance provided throughout my insurance claim process. As a foreigner, navigating the complexities of insurance can be daunting, but Alex made it an incredibly smooth experience. From our initial consultation, he recommended the perfect plan tailored to my unique needs as a foreign resident, ensuring that I was well-protected and fully informed.
Alex was there every step of the way, offering guidance, addressing my questions with patience, and clarifying every detail so I understood each part of the process. His proactive approach, combined with thorough updates, allowed me to feel confident and supported, even during challenging moments. He handled the paperwork and logistics with exceptional professionalism, allowing me to focus on my recovery and peace of mind.
I am truly grateful for the dedicated, empathetic service that Alex provided. Thanks to his expertise and thoughtful recommendations, I feel secure in my insurance choices. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an advisor who genuinely cares and provides exceptional service. Thank you for making this journey so seamless! | | | | |
