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.

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.

Wil-son Lee. Dynamic Group. Manulife Financial Advisers

I finally had a face to face meet up for a training conducted by Joan. For the past two years, I was exploring how to use the HQ system by myself and with the support by Joan & team. Joan is ever cheerful and has been prompt in helping me via WhatsApp. Addressing the technical issues I faced using the system and how I could utilise many of the functions HQ provides. Till date, HQ has enhanced features which helps me with servicing my clients. I have referred friends who found HQ fascinating and consider getting this system to help in their course of work. Will continue to refer others too. Appreciate the HQ team and special thanks to Joan!

Andrew Chuah. Financial Services Director. Prudential Singapore

When Joan came to our agency, we found her to be an engaging trainer who's helpful, fun-loving and is genuinely invested in positioning us well. I'm grateful for her and her team's support and I strongly recommend her and the company HQ. She's someone you should get to know and meet. You won't regret it!

Zhongyong. Great Eastern Life

Today I met up with Joan regarding how HQ could enhance our advisory system and make it more robust. I picked up a few interesting ideas from her, and I think you’d learn a thing or two too when you meet her up.

Joan Tong. Headquarter

It is an honour for myself & Headquarter to be part of the Media/Crowdfunding team for the once-in-a-lifetime GoSpace project. On 31 May 2019, Mr Lim Seng attempted Singapore's maiden journey into space from Alice Springs, Australia. Though the mission had to be aborted prematurely due to depressurization, the Space team was successful in the attempt and managed to attain over 24,000 ft above sea level after 19 minutes of steady ascent. It has been a long time coming and the journey continues. The Space team is not giving up. And so are we. In the photo is Mr Lim Seng, the head & heart behind this treacherous-yet-remarkable mission. Keep your eyes peeled as he sends the first Singaporean to the edge of space!

David Chua. Financial Services Director. AIA-SP Affluence

Joan came to do a training for our group and we found it incredibly useful and insightful. I think anyone in Sales can definitely from this system!
