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.

Nadiah, Project Manager

Glad to have Gary in my financial planning journey. He took his time to explain various policies and patiently walked me through the various options available to me. I would definitely recommend Gary to anyone who is looking for a reliable and professional financial consultant!☺️

Rita, Researcher

Gary is a very knowledgeable and patient person. He provides an overview of your current status and advises what you need according. He is like a good and trustworthy friend. Working with him has been very easy and pleasant. I would recommend Gary!

Johnathan, Airline Personnel (Admin)

Linked up with Gary after attending a company talk with the interest to find out more on existing coverage & any potential shortfall on my end. He is very informative, takes time to explain the policy and most importantly makes an effort to understand my lifestyle & needs. No hard selling or overselling, instead it is more of a personalised recommendation from his end which best suits me. Most importantly, he is not pushy & goes the extra mile to do a concise summary on what was shared during the meetup. Gary is definitely someone I would recommend to my friends if they are in need of any financial advice/services.

Ai Choo, Retiree

Choosing Gary as my life insurance advisor was one of the best decisions I've made. He is attentive, responsive, and truly cared about finding the right policy for me. I feel confident in my coverage knowing he is there to support me.

Kai Wen, Engineer

Gary is a really sincere guy. He and his team came to our company to give financial literacy talk more than a month ago. It was super informative and really helpful in terms of looking at the risks and also giving us latest trends in insurance coverage. Few weeks later he came back to meet me to answer some questions about investment risks and insurance coverage that I had. He did not to try to sell me financial products but instead was trying his best to educate me about my risks and how I could reduce risk and grow my wealth in order to have a safe financial standing for retirement. He is also quick answering questions and following up via WhatsApp/ text and email. I really appreciate his work ethic and professionalism. Thank you Gary. ☺️🙏

Chih Hui, Admin
