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.

I got to know Karen about 3 years ago through my colleage when I was looking for an agent. My first impression of Karen was she is attentive, reliable and knowledgeable. When Karen took over my policies, she was quick and clear in explaining to me what my policies can do for me and identify gaps that needed attention. When offering solutions Karen always put my interest first. She will make sure the products recommended is suitable for me. Karen is a person I can really trust and rely on. My experience with her has been a very presence one. If you want an attentive, reliable and knowledgeable life insurance agent, talk with Karen.

Cheau Hwei. Business Analyst

I bought my first life insurance policy from Karen 30 years ago. She was waiting for me outside the graduation hall. Since then, she is my only financial advisor. She has been conscientiously helping me to build my financial profile over the years. She is responsible, thorough and understanding. I am really appreciative of what she has helped me with and assisted me to tide through the difficult times

Bee Ng. Administrator in Public Service

If you are looking for a trusted and reliable financial advisor, you should talk to Karen Tan. I am now close to retirement and over the years, I have bought various insurance policies with various Insurance companies. I have several agents in the past and most give bad after sales service or some not stay at all. It made me sceptical and had bad impression of financial/ insurance agents. It’s my regrets that I have not met Karen earlier as I would then be better well served and advised in my financial/ insurance planning. It is with gladness that I have known Karen at the time when my daughters are grown up and looking to buy insurance policies. She has helped my daughters and I put in place financial/insurance plans that cover multiple risks. Being young mother herself, Karen understands the need of the younger generation and able to communicate with them. My daughters had encountered several insurance agents but are comfortable with Karen as she “walks her talk”. She ensures clients understand their needs to plan for future. She would not recommend any plans that she would not have believe in and purchase for her own family too. Karen is very professional. She doesn’t stress us with pressure to buy insurance but response to any concern we had relating to insurance. She has the patience in explaining and finding the right kind of product to meet my daughters’ insurance needs. Every now and then, she also keeps me updated on the new financial products that may interest me. I am blessed to have met her and finally found an honest trustworthy insurance agent who genuinely cares for you and would stay with you through the journey of your policies timeframe. If you are looking for an insurance agent and from experience, I would say that reliable, caring and good after sales service is important criteria as well as the knowledge of financial/insurance planning of the agent. Karen has both criteria and is genuine in her care and after sales service and always prompt in response. I would highly recommend Karen Tan as the preferred insurance agent for you, your family and friends. Thanks Karen

I got to know Karen from my wife. She is my family one and only financial consultant whom we can trust and rely on. I remembered a few years ago when my mum was hospitalized, she put down all her work and attend to her immediately. She is always full of passion and energy when come to her work and she never say never when she’s needed. She has been servicing my family for more than 10 years and is always consistent in her follow up and making sure our financial plan is updated and relevant. Early this year I had a cataract surgery and Karen was there to assure me that the bills will be taken care of. I was able to focus on my surgery and recovery because of her. Thank you, Karen, for being there for us when we needed it most. We’re blessed to have you as our financial consultant. Keep up with the good job Karen.
