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.

I am a critical illness survivor. As a result I realized how under-insured I was and how difficult it is to get insurance once you have contracted a critical illness. I tried many time over the years and my application was always rejected. I have almost given up until Alexander was assigned to service my policies. He is the difference maker. He reviewed my policies and listened to my story carefully. Then he said to me he can help if I am willing to work with him and provide the necessary reports and documentation. With nothing to lose I agreed. Then of he go to work submit in my case. Over the weeks he deftly handled all the underwriters requirements that showed up. Then one fine day he surprised me with a visit. "Congratulations you got it!!" he said and I couldn't believe my ears. Alex informed me that my critical illness policy has been accepted with standard condition and will only exclude the cancer she had previously. What a breakthrough. I am thankful for Alexander attention to details. For I am convinced if there is way, Alex will be the one to help me to get covered. He is the difference maker.
