Newsletter Issue 66: Self-Doubt & Self-Confidence

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.

Newsletter Issue 65: 80 Summers, 80 Winters, 1 Life

Statistically, most people live till an average age of 80 years.

For this issue, let us explore on what being positive means & how we can harness it in ways that truly benefit our lives.

Newsletter Issue 62: Social Media and Mental Health

As humans, we have an innate need for connection and approval from others. Often, we make an effort to gain validation and this is natural. Yet, in our world today, this need for others’ approval becomes magnified; as many of us are constantly plugged in on social media, we tend to get caught up in the pursuit of “likes”, “shares”, “follows” & engagement. These can have implications on our mental well-being and happiness. Through this issue, I hope that we can be more aware of the impacts & risks associated with excessive use of social media, and what we can do about it so that we can live out our best lives.

When was the last time you received kindness from somebody? When was the last time you extended an act of kindness to someone else, and to what end? As it turns out, there can be tremendous merits and outcomes in paying forward a kindness received with a good deed to somebody else, especially when done out of gratitude.

In this issue, I hope we can draw some lessons and wisdom from these materials that can help us cultivate values and cultures that we want in our lives and lift us up.

Newsletter Issue 44: The Ability to Rethink & Reassess Our Minds

HONEST AND TRANSPARENT

I was introduced Marvin through a friend for financial planning. During the session, Marvin was able to give me a comprehensive planning based on my comfort level of budget, while achieving my adequate level of wealth protection. He was also able to give me in-depth planning of different financial products to build my passive income.

What sets Marvin apart from the rest was his honesty about the hidden fees and pricing structure behind of some financial products that might be eating away our investment capitals, and how we can manage our finances like managing a soccer team.

I recommend Marvin to anyone who values honest opinions and ethical recommendations.

Your professional, ethical and caring demeanor elicits my trust and respect and I gladly recommend your services whenever possible.

Meet this genuine person

I have known Marvin over a decade since Secondary School. I have always seen him adding value to others over these years on social media. It was when I had some questions on my insurance and I was glad that Marvin reached out to me to analyse my financial portfolio and go through with me on what I had and what I may have missed.

He was clear in his explanation, and had put in my best interest as the top priority. There was no pushy selling and I had no pressure from him to engage him to be my future financial consultant.

Marvin has displayed great traits of patience and I am glad that my insurance has been handled well by him.

乐于助人的好人

Marvin 是我在2017年认识的一位理财经纪人，他帮了我和我家人很多。感谢他在我保险省了很多钱，如果没有他，我每个月还在供4份同样的在银行买的保险。

虽然我没有跟他买什么东西，但是每次我打给他问他什么东西他都会帮我。就连我再2019工作时跌倒了，他马上帮我安排了看医生和帮我处理医药费。他真的是一位乐于助人的好人。

谢谢你Marvin。

From our very first meeting, it became evident that Marvin possesses a remarkable attention to detail when it comes to understanding my financial planning needs. What truly impressed me was his emphasis on the fact that enhancing my finances does not always mean that buying more financial products.

Throughout our sessions together, Marvin patiently explained the concept of strategic asset allocation which cleared my doubts, and that gave me assurance to step out of my comfort zone and start consider investing instead of avoiding it.

Marvin's meticulousness, comprehensive knowledge, and ability to instill confidence have undoubtedly elevated my financial journey to new heights.

Mohammed Zaki

EXPLORE WHAT IS YOUR FINANCIAL BLUEPRINT WITH HIM

I was introduced to Marvin by a close friend of mine Shi Ni when I was about to graduate and take up my first full time job.

I really appreciate how detailed Marvin was in explaining the different types of financial products out there. He also went through me with on the common pitfalls when we choose products with the incorrect financial blueprint.

Compared to my past experience with other advisers, the other advisers would just brief me on the key benefits of the products they wanted me to buy, and I had no clarity and peace going ahead with their recommendation. Thanks to Marvin, he was able to assist me to understand the financial planning with clear concepts which allowed me to make unbiased decisions that suit me currently and for the future.

I would highly recommend Marvin to anyone who would also like to experience the kind of genuine advisory session that will help them make better financial decisions with their money.

Muhamad Latif

Definitely the best agent!

I was very unfamiliar with the concept of insurance, and was unsure what to expect and whom i can seek genuine advice from. This was when my best friend introduced Marvin to me and we arranged a coffee session shortly after that. Marvin was very thorough in laying down the basics and explained the essentials that I needed to know. The experience was fun and engaging, and he was not pushy to push for a sale.

The experience with Marvin compared to my past experience was very different. Marvin has provided me a safe environment to find out more, and he was always being very neutral with his recommendations, without being pushy.

I can sincerely feel he’s a very kind person in his interactions, and I would recommend Marvin to anyone who is seeking for a long term genuine partnership on their financial journey.

Definitely a world class standard service with him

Marvin was recommended to my family when my mum needed some financial advices planning for her insurance.

He has been always able to explain complicated financial knowledge and break down them into clear and easy concepts to remember.

Through out these years, Marvin has been consistently good with his after-sales services and has always been responsive to my queries.

I would recommend Marvin to anyone who is looking for a non-pushy agent who is out to genuinely serve.



Fong Shi Ni

FINANCIAL ADVISOR WITH GOOD ACCOUNTABILITY

I knew Marvin through the days when he was working in the same team with me in PSA. After he embarked on his new career as a financial advisor, I gave him the opportunity to see what he could offer. Before I met him, I had the expectation that it could be another sales presentation like what I have experienced with the previous financial advisor.

To my surprise, he was understanding on my priorities and he was able to help me understand the fundamentals of money management. Working with Marvin has never made me feel that it was just a one time sales transaction, he constantly updates me on the new market trends and how are my investments performing. This is totally different from what I have experienced with other advisors when it was all about sales transactions with them.

I would recommend Marvin to anyone seeking for a genuine person who is there to help, and who can provide constant support and good after sales service.

I highly recommend Marvin to anyone who is seeking a financial consultant who is sincere to serve, and patient in his advisory work.

WITTY AND DIRECT ADVISOR NOT JUST ON FINANCES

I’ve come to know of Marvin a couple years back through a mutual. Marvin is patient and takes a lot of effort to help me understand different policies that have been offered to me from someone else at his own expense. He’s taken a lot of interest in reviewing my portfolio and also being a friend over the last 2 years. Marvin is witty, direct and will dish out the best pieces of advice whether it’s of personal or financial growth. Thankful to have met an advisor who have nothing but sincerity in helping.

Marvin was recommended to me by my colleague for financial planning. I met him the first time over the zoom together with my mum, and we found him to be honest and had very clear explanations on how I could benefit if I plan my finances earlier. Though I did not engage him after the discovery session, I could felt his sincerity in helping others and he was non-pushy during the meeting.

After 6 months, I revisited the needs of getting insurance for myself, and Marvin was the first person I approach. I knew that I will be in good hands with him in settling my medical card in Singapore. I recommend Marvin to anyone who wishes to have an Insurance Agent who is able to provide clear, unbiased and non-obligatory solutions to improve their financial planning needs.

Erica Tan

MEETING THIS MAN WITH GREAT PATIENCE

I got to know Marvin through my colleague's recommendation to start my adulting journey. Prior to meeting Marvin, I had no understanding of how insurance works and insurance to me is just an important subject but not urgent to me.

Marvin was patient to run through details of different financial products and strategies that would suit me, and he also gave me ample time to decide if I would want to engage him since it was our first meeting and I was uncomfortable in taking the first step with him.

After a year, Marvin followed up with me again and I felt his sincerity to help me get the important things in my life done properly together with him. I would say that he is indeed a patient and non pushy Insurance Agent that I have yet heard of. I would confidently say that Marvin is the man that you will feel safe having him to answer your queries without buying more financial products to improve your finances.

I will like to compliment Marvin for his excellent advisory services in helping me to understand the policies that my parents bought for me since young.

He has displayed good knowledge even the policies are old and not from his company. He also went through with me the strategic asset allocation on how I could manage my finances like a soccer team. It was engaging and I would say even a young kid will understand the importance of having a good finance formation layout.

Thank you Marvin.

COMMITTED TO SERVE WITH GOOD INTENTIONS

I knew Marvin for more than two decades as a close friend and I would like to say that he has an important attribute that not many financial consultants has. That is, he is a very patient person. He has the patience to listen to your worries; he has the patience to explain his thoughts. As a friend, he truly goes beyond his ability to help and as a Financial Adviser he goes beyond his call of duty to address your needs.

I still remember that he rushed over to my place to bring my father to visit TCM when he injured his knee at work. He also managed to file claims for us when we did not even know it was claimable. It was really an extraordinary service that you would not find in other financial consultants.

I chose him to manage my financial portfolio because I sincerely think he is one of the best out there to serve with good intentions.

He is patient in explaining the policies that I had, and explained how the policies should cater to my specific needs and budget. Despite his busy schedule, he made sure to followup with annual reviews to assess the portfolio and ensuring that me and my family are sufficiently insured.

Michele Wong

Meet someone interesting

Before I met Marvin, my financial products were always purchased from my family's agent without much consultation provided or much understanding from my side. Hence, I did not have good experience when it comes to financial planning.

One day, I reached out to Marvin after seeing so many of his success stories helping their clients. After understanding my situation, Marvin has helped me to walk through the financial products I had, even though those were not sold by him.

He has also helped to reduce my premiums, and advised me that financial products should never be bought like that to improve my finances. I felt that he could understand me and I was really glad that I sought for his second opinion and he has helped my family tremendously in many areas that other agents would not.

A STRATEGIC YET SINCERE GUY

I had a hard time coping with my expensive insurance commitments every month and it was through a friend’s recommendation that I got to know Marvin.

He seemed really sincere and set his heart right to help others, that's why I chose to work with him. I was overwhelmed by the ideas he shared with me. He also corrected a misconception that I had, as I thought more insurance plans definitely meant a better coverage.

Marvin is the fifth agent I have met so far, and what set him apart from the rest was the strategies that he shared with me so openly. He is not the typical guy that tells you everything from me/my company is good but focuses on "hard share" rather than hard selling.

Thank you Marvin and you will definitely be the person I'll refer to my friends if they are looking to reduce their insurance premiums!

The experience was insightful and I’m glad that I was able to benefit from his advisory work.
Thank you Marvin.

110% RECOMMENDED!

Marvin was recommended to me by my colleague when I was considering to take up savings for quite a while since I came to Singapore for work.

Though it was our first meeting, Marvin made me comfortable in sharing my priorities with him, and he helped me to understand the different approaches of accumulating wealth.

His explanations were very clear and he was able to provide good advice based on my situation and possible needs that I would not think of.

Thank you Marvin.

Joseph Ng (Liang)

MY TRUSTED FINANCIAL CONSULTANT

I was introduced to Marvin through my sister's recommendation when I was looking through my insurance policies in Malaysia during Covid-19.

Marvin is a street smart person and who knows how to put things in perspective when I raised questions about using my Malaysia medical card in Singapore. His analogy of different stories and scenarios has helped me understand better and what I need to look out for if I wished to continue using Malaysia insurance to protect myself in Singapore.

It wasn't until Marvin has brought up certain limitations and blindspots that were not previously discussed with my agent in Malaysia before I came to Singapore few years ago. I thank Marvin for his patience in guiding me and his dedication to serve especially people who may be unsure of financial planning.

With much discussions on finding out my financial goals, he has also managed to align some strategies to address my important priorities, and strengthen my financial portfolio. I am glad that I am now in good hands with Marvin in Singapore.

我信任的理财专家

我认识 Marvin 大概有7-8年了，他是我的同事介绍的理财顾问。他不但非常了解了我的处境，也用了很多故事来让我更加了解了理财的学问。我当时就马上决定了他成为我的理财顾问。

我的决定果然没错。有某天我记得我打给他，说我受伤必须找个医生。他当时马上就驾车载我到他熟悉的中医，还帮我在诊所外帮我申请医疗索赔。这种富有责任感及乐于助人的经纪人已经很难找了。

谢谢你 Marvin。我祝你事业成功和顺利。

A DEDICATED MAN OUT TO SERVE

I must say that I am impressed with Marvin's dedication to his work. He has always provided unbiased opinions and recommendations which has helped my family to understand financial planning.

Through his advisory work, Marvin has also shared with me the importance of good financial advice, rather than comparing for the best products. He has always make sure that my decisions are aligned to my financial goals. I am convinced with his integrity and sincere interest in helping others.

Thank you Marvin for the great works that you put out there and the constant client servicing experience that you have provided over the years.

Marvin is also a problem solver, and has also resolved some of the issues for us, even when the issues were not directly under his area of responsibility. Based on that, we have received a lot of knowledge from him and to prevent future unnecessary pitfalls that most would not have looked out for.

Therefore, we strongly recommend he is a best financial advisor with big thanks for his attentively and patience.
