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 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.

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.
