Self-Doubt & Self-Confidence

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

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.

Yi Peng. NTU Accountancy Student

Yu Hong was referred by my good friend few months ago and I must say he has been very helpful. On top of the insightful discussion about my financial plans, he has taken the extra step to assist me in my medical documents. Back when I tore my ACL, I reached out to him for some help regarding my medical documents and claims. He has been nothing but a great help and I truly appreciated his efforts. He is truly a genuine person and wants to help anyone in anyway. I do hope more people can reach out to him as he will really put in the effort to assist you. All the best brother!

Lim Jun Jie. SIT SIE(BS) Student

I met Yu Hong during my national service days. Despite his heavy duty as a commander, he always spends time listening to his team's concerns and working towards our goals together. Thus, I trust him and his services. We had a few financial advisory sessions, and I feel he always tries his best to understand my situation and challenges before advising me. Not only does he has vast financial knowledge, he often simplifies them for me, making sure that I fully understand the available options. I truly appreciate that he is transparent and not pushy, which made me feel comfortable throughout our sessions. Most importantly, he always checks in with me to make sure I am living well, if I'm on track toward my goal, and offers me his help whenever I need them. I feel reassured and motivated to have his help.
