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.

Our family engaged a PR consultancy firm to assist us on our Permanent Residents’ application in 2023. That was when we were been recommended to Alan where he shared with us strategies that could enhance our chances of getting PR. Our family were impressed by the tools which Alan have used. It gives us clarity towards our retirement goals and how the investment solutions are able to help us achieve our goals. Alan is meticulous as he noted down our questions at times when he do not have an accurate answer. After-which, he ensures that all our queries are being addressed promptly and that gives us the reassurance that he is someone responsible & responsive. We were invited to client exclusive dining events subsequently even after the policies were implemented. This further gives us the conviction that we have made the right choice in choosing Alan as our adviser and we look forward to working with him in many more good years to come.
