| 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. | | 9 Habits That Are Destroying Your Confidence  | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

She has been extremely patient in explaining the different policies from Prudential and is not pushy, always putting her clients first instead of profits.
A plus point is that she does not brings down other insurers' products or solutions. In fact, she goes through them with me whenever I asked. Her unbiased opinions is what made me decided to go for her solutions instead.
Thank you for being truthful, I really appreciate it Michelle. | |  | | Sabrina, Relationship Manager Michelle was never a pushy agent. When she first approached me, I was not ready to commit into any financial plans. However she was never hesitant to clarify any doubts that I have. She is very responsive whenever I need any of her advices and is patience with me despite asking her tons of questions.
She was also not afraid to share some personal information about herself, and it was heartening to know that we have went through similar experiences regarding our finances, and she will be able to provide honest advice regarding our choices and whether it is suitable.
She takes pride in what she does and will only recommend and curate solutions that is of my best interest. I feel at ease having her embarking my financial journey together with me :) | |  | | Diana, Regulatory Michelle came across as very sincere and genuine. It didn't feel like she has hidden intentions or aggressive in any ways during our first meeting. Subsequently, we developed a friendship that is very close to sisterhood, which is one of the qualities I would like to highlight.
This made me very comfortable with her and nothing feels forced. She explained everything vividly and thoroughly and will not bore you with overloading information. I'm thankful to have met her and making her my trusted advisor ! | |  | | Don, System Analyst Thanks to Michelle 's expertise and dedication, I now feel confident and empowered when it comes to managing my finances.
