Self-Doubt & Self-Confidence

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.

Maria Admin Executive Income Insurance

I felt comfortable in dealing my insurance with Alexander. He is knowledgeable on the services. And helpful in meeting my needs in terms of my plans. What I like the most about his services is the dedication he puts on his craft. Anytime, he will respond as promptly as possible. When I was hospitalised, he gave me updates for my coverage, whether its a weekday or weekends. I appreciate all his efforts from the discussion of the plans to my budget and needs. Everyone should meet up with Alexander because insurance is important and need to be prioritised.

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.

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.

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.
