| 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.

© Jacqueline Tan, All rights reserved. | |  | | Candy, Andy & Family (Client since 2014) Jiajia is my husband’s childhood friend. I’ve known her for close to 20 years and she has been our trustworthy insurance agent for about 10 years. Although she just started with AIA when I first got to know her, she has never tried selling anything to me. We only approached her when we were expecting our first child. 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. She always uphold herself with pride and integrity. We are so blessed and thankful to have her as a close friend and taking care of our policies. Jiajia is the BEST!! | |  | | Elaine Lau, Banker (Client since 2019) If I were to describe the impression that Jacqueline gives me, I would say - "I never knew what a good agent is like, until I know Jacq"
I am a non believer of insurance due to bad experiences in my early years. I steer clear when I hear the word insurance. However, Jacq changes everything.
She is not just my trustworthy agent, she is also a friend. Jacq is patience in listening to your needs and gives you timely and the best professional advices for you and your family.
Jacq is highly efficient and always there when you need her. She is extremely helpful, caring, attentive, always with a smile and very knowledgeable in her expertise of work.
Undoubtedly, Jacq is the BEST insurance agent one could ever have, and a true gem in this industry.
You never know how good your insurance and agent are until you need them, and both are outstanding in my case. | |  | | 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 👍🏻 👍🏻
10 Feb 2023 | |  | | Chloe Aw, Creative Director of Escapade Studios (Client since 2012) Jac has been both a trusted friend and an exceptional insurance agent. She assisted me in setting up my accident and hospital insurance plans with the utmost professionalism and attention to detail. Her ability to clearly explain the policies and ensure they were tailored to my needs was truly reassuring. It is a great comfort to know that my insurance matters are in the hands of someone I trust and respect. | |  | | Cavis Tan, Producer (Client since 2011) My husband is Jacqueline's friend for more than 30 years and I was introduce to her after and has been a client for more than 12 years and counting. 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. | |  | | Sharon Eng, Administrator (To 20 years before (I think!), and 30 years more. I cannot remember when I started with Jacqueline but I will focus on the recent years.
She has been nothing but heartfelt during my cancer stint. Her concern for her customers always stem from her heart. Her tenacity to make sure we are well taken care of in times of personal needs goes beyond selling insurance.
When my father passed in 2022, Jacqueline was again there for me, helping me sort out insurance issues with the hospital so I can focus on the living and giving me time to grieve.
Once again in later 2022, I had to go through a minor surgery and she took it upon herself to find me a suitable surgeon and followed through with claims and her personal touch of “after care”.
I have more memories of how she touched my heart but I will save them for future testimonials.
Agents are a dime plenty, but it is AIA’s honour to have someone like Jacqueline on their team.
Thank you Jacqueline.
