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.

Wang Hewei (Business IT Analyst)

From an assigned insurance agent to a true friend, Zong Jie helped much beyond just a business. He recovered my confidence in the insurance agent. At that moment, my agent changed a few times within 18 months and my portfolio is left in a mess. I almost gave up with Prudential and wanted to stop buying from them until Zong Jie was assigned to me. His sincerity and personal touch impacted me to trust him. We become friends since then. Zong Jie utilized financial/insurance products to help me plan based on my needs rather than what he wanted to sell. Zong Jie was very helpful when I need to claim but did not know-how. Zong Jie’s rich knowledge and experience are beyond just insurance and finance. He likes to share those and truly inspires me in many ways. He is helping me to consolidate my portfolio and optimize for me, which is what I need exactly. Zong Jie has been with me at every important stage of my life. He works closely with me to customise solutions for every need that my family and I have. Through his planning process, I received coverage that I would otherwise have not been able to get. I've engaged many advisors before, but Zong Jie is the only one I trust to take care of my family's financial needs.

Cheng Ping (Retired Teacher)

When I first met Zong Jie some years ago, he had been tasked to take over my little portfolio at Prudential. I was pleasantly surprised by his sincerity and enthusiasm although it did not seem I was much of a prospect to invest in. But he was earnest not in pushing any new products but finding and formulating my profile. We got into an interesting and absorbing chat from which I discovered a young man who understood and possessed high values of morals and character. And he had embarked on a graduate course in TCM. We ended that meeting without any sale but I was excited that I had come to know a young man with rare qualities such as he had. Through the years we kept in touch and he did sell one small policy to me. However, he was always available whenever I needed advice or opinion in insurance or finance matters. He would get to the bottom of the issues and present the options/solutions to me. He has never tried to coerce me to choose his option. Through the years he has proven himself to be a man of integrity and of indisputable morals and character and to be a friend rather than a financial adviser. I am thankful for a trusted and reliable friend in Zong Jie. Will definitely recommend those who have yet to know him to engage and talk to him.
