| 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.

I’ve known her for close to 20 years and she has been our trustworthy insurance agent for about 10 years.

Ever since, she has been promptly answering queries, efficiently handling our claims and diligently updating us with the changes in policy terms. Whenever we are faced with issues, she will always be there ready to help and giving us assurance. She will reiterate, “Anything, just call. No matter how late, just call.’ She also ensures that we are adequately covered within our means. Her experience and professionalism is indisputable.

Her patience towards the elderly definitely shows as she handles my mum’s policies as well. She is able to explain the policies in a different way, to my mum so that she understands better and feels very assured.
I would definitely recommend Jacqueline to anyone without hesitation or reservation.

We been friends for 30 over years and she has been my agent for more than 20 years. She helped me with my financial investments and the investments done, have helped me to claim my 1st title deed from HDB. When we started our family, we entrusted her with our all our insurances for our family. Not saying this because she is friend but she has done many things beyond what a friend or agent can or have done.
Once our whole family were out for overseas trip, our gate decided to malfunction and open on its own! We only know it at 12midnight that our house is wide open, unattended, I called her to help and immediately she dashed out of her house (after a long day of work and already in her PJ preparing for bedtime) to rush to mine to help us to lock the gate!
She had also attend to my crazy midnight or dawn break last minute insurance requestsssss.. helped to design and build insurance plans that are within our comfortable budget. Most importantly she grow with our family.

Thank you for all your patient assistance during the state of confusion and helping us bundle everything together. Insurance is a very time consuming task and you helped put us at ease to the best plans.
Most agents wouldn’t answer a phone call on a beautiful Saturday morning or wee hours of night when my kids are in the A&E department and i will be calling Jacqueline on these “special hours” for her advise.
We appreciate your experience and expertise to help the family save money on the policies towards our needs.
You are more than measured up to the “5 Star” rating. I will highly recommend you and your company to others for their insurance needs. | |  | | Belle Thai, Founder of PaperDoll LIVE (Client since 2007) Jacqueline have been my insurance agent for more than 15 years and still counting. I have to say, Jacq is always very responsive to my policy queries as I do not keep track of my own coverage. Her professionalism is without a doubt, and she’s always meticulous in her work. Definitely trustworthy and patient as she’ll always advice on what I need and what I don’t from my insurance coverage, investments and retirement planning. My insurance claims are also handled very swiftly.
Jacqueline is definitely your “To-Go-For-Person” when it comes to financial planning! 10 thumbs up 👍🏻 👍🏻
