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.

Not only is it a great system but it’s filled with great people leading the team. Namely Samuel who leads and Joan whom greatly supports. Joan gives her heart when she trains. And she is so open towards hearing and learning from us at the same time. Joan & Samuel constantly support and work hard as the backbone of HQ to add value to us. Not only is this consistent at point of sale of HQ system, it is also followed through with coaching and guiding our team after we became users of HQ. HQ incentives made it so helpful and encourage us to add value when we meet clients. This in turn attain great testimonials that supports the team as well as adds value to the marketplace. This is definitely a system to adopt for all practitioners out there!

Joycelyn Phang. MDRT Qualifier 2021. Prudential Singapore

HQ is a great platform / channel for publicity, especially for people like us who need to run their own business. I love the function that it can customize our own birthday cards and make our clients feel privileged as it's something personalised. On top of that, working with Joan is amazing because she is friendly, helpful and dedicated lady. She is always able to assist me on technical works as I’m not good at IT stuffs. Honestly speaking, I can’t live without HQ now, thank you Joan & HQ. I would highly recommend this platform for everyone, 10/10 must try!💯
