| 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.

© Steven Sit Poh Sang, All rights reserved. | |  | | Chris, Business Owner Ever since Steven took over my family's insurance affairs, our insurance coverage has not only gotten better, it has also gotten cheaper!
Steven is one of those rare agents who genuinely strives to put his clients' welfare before any other considerations. Over the years he has displayed impressive patience with us, explaining all the details of various policies, and going the extra mile when needed. And with all that, Steven has become a friend I enjoy spending time with. I am looking forward to continuing to work with Steven for a very long time. | |  | | Stella Poh, Executive Secretary Hup Soon Global Corporation Pte Ltd My first policy was bought from Steven, 20 years ago. I think the most important thing is having a responsible and reliable agent to be in the same trade and Company is not an easy thing. However, I am glad that he is still in the industry working and servicing my policies. Steven knows his work well and is willing to give valuable advice on what is needed.
It is not just selling policy to his clients. Instead, he treated his clients as friends and this make the working relationship merrier. | |  | | Edmund Chua Deputy Director DSTA My family have known Steven for many years. He is a trusted friend who has walked along with us , seen our children grow along the years.
As a professional, he listens, advises and provides consultation calibrated to our family needs. He is diligent and always prompt in processing our claims.
Thank you Steven for being there whenever we call and I look forward to your support for many years more to come. | |  | | Frederic Steven became my trusted agent recently, and after a long process on my side.
I value independent, unbiased advice, and I had long sessions with him sharing on my needs, his understanding, the different products he could offer and so on, and I eventually decided to entrust him with part of my financial planning.
Thank you Steven for offering good and neutral advice, that makes a difference. I know I am in good hands now. | |  | | Harsh Verma Executive Director JPMorgan Chase & Co I have known Steven for almost 2 decades and have seen him grow over this period. His success can be mainly attributed to his high level of professionalism, his impeccable customer service and his constant availability. He knows my family profile, has been recommending products that suit my needs based on family members, age, etc and does not coax me into unnecessary sales.
Every product he has recommended to me has yielded me benefits over time. The one aspect that definitely needs to be called out is his availability. After all these years and his personal growth in the industry he is available within seconds of sending him a message. Whether we are traveling or he is, I have never had to wait for a turnaround from Steven. He always maintains a very friendly, yet professional interaction and goes out of his way to build a relationship with my family. No matter how trivial the question, he maintains a high level of patience to guide my family and me to the right outcome.
In spite of all this he somehow manages to maintain a very healthy lifestyle. Not only does he do this for himself but he has a special gift to influence and has made my family more involved in running, trekking, etc towards staying fit and healthy.
I would recommend Steven to anyone without an ounce of doubt. His attitude, professionalism and friendliness is unparalleled. | |  | | Educator, Ministry Of Education Steven is a very responsible agent with integrity.
