As humans, the pursuit of change and progress is something that is innate to every one of us. Like it or not, there will always be things in life that we hope could be a little different, a little better in the way that daily situations & events turn out. It could be in the way we think, speak, or the way we handle everything from our finances to our relationships with others. We seek to become better -- and we should. As we strive to continuously exceed our potential, we rise above all previous versions of ourselves and grow stronger. In this issue, we look at some ways in which we can embrace a better self and an even better future.

The Relentless Pursuit of Improvement

It is no secret that I believe growth is the only guarantee that tomorrow will be better. It is no mystery that I think personal growth is the steppingstone to success for any leader. If you or I want to stay in front of the curve and lead others, then we must do the work that keeps us out front. We must continually improve. But as I seek to improve, there is one thing I know not to chase, and that is perfection. Perfection is a trap. Do not chase perfection as a leader - chase improvement. Make today better than yesterday so tomorrow can be better than today. The relentless pursuit of improvement will take any leader far.

I used to be jealous of other people's wealth and success - here is how I finally got over it

Envy. It is an emotion that we all feel at some point. It is also a really dangerous emotion when we are trying to build a strong financial life. Envy is pure poison to a healthy financial life. After all, envy encourages us to make some pretty poor decisions. Like every other character flaw, however, envy can be overcome. You can directly reduce the envy itself, or you can at least reduce the bad choices you make as a result of envy. Here are seven strategies I use to cut envy out of my own life.

Syarof (Firefighter) & Seri (Dental Assistant)

We met in a sunday league football team formed during national service. At that time i was still in my early 20’s and didn’t really think that insurance was important. As the years passed, i wanted to know more about financial planning and why was it so important. Syamim was a familiar face hence the reason why i approached him. I have never regretted that decision ever since. Syamim would go the extra mile to explain things, be it by showing slides or by simply drawing on a piece of paper and always made sure that we had our priorities right and that it was fine to take everything one step at a time. He is an amazing FA and a great people person. As my wife sometimes have a hard time understanding, he would take that into consideration and workout a way and present us with our very own personalised portfolio while always ensuring that my wife would understand. I would definitely recommend Syamim as I believe that everyone deserve a FA that not only cares about us financially but also our well being. Always looking forward to having meetings with him as me and my wife can be ourselves and always feel that he always has our best interest. Looking forward to our next meet up with him!

Nasruddin (DevOps Engineer)

I've known Syamim during our NS days and he's a very kind and approachable person. I would definitely say one of the benefits of meeting him is the idea of retirement planning especially at our age right now. The saving structures and systems he comes up with is also beneficial. Not too hard, neither is it too insignificant. Easily said, Syamim doesn't hard sell you anything. Knowing him , all he ever wants to do is to help people out financially. Obviously he can't give you the fish. He'll teach you how to get them, especially on how to manage your finances. That's what I've been looking for after all these years of searching. I would most definitely recommend Syamim to my friends. In fact I have list of names to recommend him to. If he's not anywhere near my standards, I wouldn't even consider recommending. By far, he is the most understanding, professional and hard working adviser I've known. Thanks for helping me out a lot Syamim. Especially taking so much of your time to plan for me financially. Going out of your way just to schedule a time slot with me. Really appreciate all your kindness and may you succeed in in this life and the hereafter.

Nadiah (Document Specialist) & Suhaimi (Engineer)

Syamim knows his products well and he takes his time to explain to us clearly. He is able to assist us on taking the most suitable product that matches our ever growing financial capabilities. Will definitely recommend him for any insurance related and financial advice. (Nadiah) Syamim is proactive in keeping us updated with Great Eastern products and relevant government related incentives too. His engagement is proven to be productive as he is able to cater to our needs and situation. (Suhaimi)

Damo (Aerospace)

Syamim was referred to me by my colleague. When I first met him, he was extremely patient and transparent towards my situation, giving financial advise that were not only limited to his products but everything in general. I felt very comfortable with him knowing that he always puts me and my family as his top priorities. Highly recommended!

Shafiq & Afiqah

I was initially quite skeptical about meeting Syamim, but after our session, I was genuinely impressed by how detailed and structured his planning process was. I got to know him through recommendations from my colleagues, and I can see why they spoke so highly of him. The most beneficial part of our meeting was the clear projection and allocation of my income and savings — understanding exactly how much to set aside to achieve my goals within a given timeline was eye-opening. The cashflow breakdown was also very helpful, something I found lacking in previous financial planning sessions with other advisors. Overall, the session gave me much better clarity about my finances, and I would definitely recommend meeting Syamim to anyone looking to better plan and manage their financial future.

Hakim (Engineer)

Syamim presented a detailed explanation regarding the importance of financial planning and aligning it to my life goals. This allows me to set out realistic short term and long term milestones. I feel assured with the proposals set out as Syamim plans together with me. On top of that, he is readily available to answer my queries and he actively checks in with me tounderstand if I am meeting my targets. Thank you for the excellent service! Highly recommended.
