| 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.

© Jerry Toh, All rights reserved. | |  | | Vicky Huang (Year 1 AIA FSC, Year 1 NUS undergraduate) I first met Jerry in 2019 when I was curious about the financial industry and is looking for a good opportunity to join. I have talked to a few planners before eventually deciding to join Jerry’s team. One of the main reasons is that he gave me a very clear and objective view of the industry and what to expect etc. and he was very genuine in his sharing. Now, moving forward, Jerry is my mentor and he has inspired me to be a more hardworking individual. He has provided me with guidance in my journey as a student financial planner and he is always there to listen, help and give feedback even though he is very busy. Looking forward to learn more from Jerry! | |  | | Yin Peng (Lazada, Vice President) I was introduced to Jerry by his wife 8 years ago. Back then, I was quite skeptical about financial advisor. However Jerry won me over with his professionalism, dedication and expertise.
Today, Jerry is my go-to person for all sorts of issues. He is a very warm and caring person. He had helped me solve / advise me on issues where I could not make up my mind or I have doubts on.
I am so glad that our path crossed and I am very grateful to have him as a friend! I would not hesitate to recommend him to my friends who are in need of financial advice! | |  | | Shengmin & Vivian (Director & Co-Founder of The Editor's Market) It was apt that at the intersection of responsibilities as well as financial planning, we were acquainted with Jerry approximately in 2012, when our 1st child was born. Usually heavy topics that encompass disability, critical illness, hospitalization and estate planning, Jerry shares his knowledge in a comprehensible fashion always with a smile.
His service orientation towards his clients is a breath of fresh air and I believe many of his clients’ experience would mirror mine. He responds to queries and follows up promptly in a manner that is consultative and not intrusive. Most importantly he listens with an intent to help navigate your current financial situation with your best interest in mind! | |  | | Nady Yang (SUSS undergraduate) It was a fruitful session with Jerry! It was eyeopening as it was my first time meeting a financial advisor and I didn’t know what to expect. But he patiently shared and educated me all the plans and the possible financial paths and decisions I can make now for the future.
Jerry also made the policies' jargons easy to absorb and I think I now have a clearer view of the steps I should take to reach my goals.
Overall, I look forward to learning more from him. Jerry, you again for taking out your time for this session 😆 | |  | | Hsiang Yao (A* Scientist) & Ying Ying (MOE Educator) Jerry is the first person that comes to my mind whenever I need any financial advice. He has always been prompt and patient in answering all my queries, and I know that I can trust him because of his expertise. Jerry is someone who is passionate and dedicated in his work, and he truly cares for the people around him. Jerry always help others sincerely. It's my pleasure to have him as my friend and my financial consultant!

from HY | |  | | Andy and Angel (Founders of Wheel Angel) Jerry was introduced by our best friend who assured us that he's the bestest person in his industry. When we first knew Jerry we felt immediately at ease. We shared our concerns, financial backgrounds and our needs for insurance with him. He treats everyone like his closest friend and he shows compassion, knowledge and wisdom. Jerry is a typical example who goes beyond and above even though he is the boss himself and doesn't put on any airs with any clients, big or small. My wife and I place our complete trust and faith with him not just as an insurance agent but as a lifetime friend! | | | | |
