| 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.

© Aileen Lin, All rights reserved. | |  | | Marine Huang Aileen has been providing financial advisory to me consistently in the past five years. She is always amiable and approachable whenever I need some expert opinions in financial planning and insurance services.
I was a young graduate when I firstly met her, who offered valuable insights about life-long financial planning and a practical insurance plan to embark my personal arrangement. She helped me to adjust the planning when I have a material change regarding my cash flow situation over years. Gradually, I’ve started benefiting from the disciplined saving and insurance habits with a snow-balling effect.
What touched me most is when I was relocated overseas, Aileen stepped up by conversing with me using the local chatting application in my new country at my time zone (which is sometimes inconvenient for her). I was able to work care-free overseas by knowing that my financial advisor would take good care of my situation back home.
I sincerely appreciate Aileen’s service in the past and I’m confident in believing that she would be a reliable advisor who delivers professional service of high grade to her clients. | |  | | Delwyn Goh I first met Aileen approximately 5 years ago. I was a little lost soul with lots of queries concerning financial planning back then. Her patience and willingness to help answer all my queries built my trust in her. She was always more concerned with current situation and finding ways to make the situation better for now, not just in the future. Her advise has so far been very sound; for things she do not know, she would always make the effort to find out and reply as promptly as possible. | |  | | Andy, Copywriter I met Aileen 3 years ago and she has been my financial adviser with Prudential ever since. Conscientious and patient, her attention to detail and personal approach are qualities which set her apart from other agents.
She made the effort to find out and determine the most suitable plan for me based on my current goals. In many ways, I can sense that she genuinely cares for the client's well-being. Never pushy, I feel comfortable sharing my future plans with her, without feeling compelled to purchase a policy I might not need. If you are looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable financial adviser, look no further.
Thank you, Aileen, for your friendship and impeccable service. | |  | | Xue Ting Aileen has been my financial consultant since two years back when I first started working. Not knowing the insurance world, Aileen has in every way helped me to understand the financial plans that would be beneficial for me and at the same time would suit my needs. She has always been extra patient in answering all my queries and I’m thankful she is always here to help. | |  | | Mei Si, HR Aileen has been my financial consultant for close to 2 years and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to my friends. She is friendly, patient and prompt in responding. Overall a very professional agent. | |  | | James Ho, Auditor I met Aileen on the road side just like any prudential financial advisors, however her working attitude is not like the others. She only introduce and explain the insurance that you need after the financial planning with her and she is not pushy in selling them. Furthermore, she is constantly giving me advises whenever I have questions about my policy. I can feel her passion in her work. Good job. | | | | |
