A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As we begin a fresh year, it is a good idea to not just evaluate ourselves based on the previous year on how we have been managing our lives, but also to find out ways to become more productive as we move along. In this issue, I'd like to share with you some powerful ideas on productivity and how we can make the best of our resources, time, energy and capabilities. Let's do this!

Why "Done is Better Than Perfect" by Sheryl Sandberg

The CEO of Facebook, Sheryl Sandberg, has one of the best success quotes to live by: Done is Better Than Perfect. The innovative products that we know are constantly evolving; and we're not likely to ever reach perfection as no one has. Instead, getting things done is more important than being perfect, and this applies to various areas in our lives.

Creating Time: How to Master the Art of Intentionality

Global economic indicators suggest that despite the additional hours that people work daily, outcomes remain low. Everyone is busy — but that isn’t necessarily translating into productivity. According to Harvard University researchers, our attention wanders away from what we’re doing 46.9% of the time. For both leaders and employees, that’s half the work day. Half a day of not being fully present with tasks and people. This lack of presence is costly.

Rusydi (Nurse)

I got to know Syamim from my brother-in-law and chose to meet him because of his sound knowledge and experience in financial planning and commitment to his clients. Syamim is always well prepared for our meeting. For example he prepared a customised power point presentation during our first meet up which allowed me to better understand the content and options that we have. He also takes into consideration many factors when giving advice such as budget and upcoming life events. He is able to suggest several plans based on our situation that we can consider and does not push us to choose a single plan. I would definitely recommend this meeting to others!

Saran (Engineer)

Syamim has been always very professional and patient with me. He takes time to explain clearly the purpose behind buying any policies and if I require it or not. Compared to other FAs I have met, Syamim has knowledge in more than just the typical insurance and investments. He also ensures that we are on track to our goals via a yearly review! He also provides a file which has detailed and clear overview of the polices which we have. The file also includes my timeline and steps for the next 20+ years of my life and what I should work towards, which gives me clarity. This helps me a lot in the long run as I tend to forget about the policy coverage sometimes. I will 100% recommend anyone to meet Syamim as he’s friendly and easy going.

Khairuddin (Engineer)

Syamim sets realistic targets for myself and others who I know based on our current financial status. He is not afraid to be upfront about things which he considers important for my financial well being. Always sincere and eloquent, he explains the different financial plans in a clear and concise manner. He also sets a good example for his clients and is transparent regarding all things money-related. Extroverted and approachable, I am not afraid to raise my concerns to him and he will address it objectively. One particular thing I can takeaway from him is that you do not have to be book smart to be financially smart, you just have to be prudent and realistic. My experience with him has been nothing but pleasant and I will learn new things every time we meet. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn the ropes of good personal finance management to approach Syamim!

Asri (Engineer)

I got to know Syamim through my wife and was immediately impressed by how well he managed her finances. I’ve worked with two other insurance agents before — both of whom were my friends — but none provided the same level of care and expertise as Syamim. He’s extremely knowledgeable when it comes to financial planning and takes a detailed, structured approach in helping us plan for both short-term and long-term goals. What I really appreciate is that he takes the guesswork out of the equation and honestly makes managing our finances a lot less stressful. Syamim keeps us in check, helps us stay financially aware, and makes sure our plans actually fit our lifestyle, budget, and goals. He’s not the type to shove an insurance plan down your throat — he genuinely wants to see you achieve financial balance and peace of mind. Honestly, I can’t recommend him enough. If you’ve been putting off sorting out your finances, what are you waiting for? Go talk to Syamim — you’ll thank me later!

Dan (Civil Servant)

I heard many good reviews from my friends regarding Syamim’s Financial advisory services. And at that point of time I was looking for one. I’ve heard of many financial consultants but I personally felt that Syamim was the best amongst all the other consultants I’ve heard of. And true enough he was nothing short of that during my first consultation with him. He was not pushy at all. He gave me advices which were useful and I’ve been applying it in my monthly financials ever since. He is also really keen and sincere in helping me improve my financial situation so that I could achieve my desired financial goals. What I really like about Syamim is that he really monitors my progress and gives me reminders every now and then to ensure that I'm always on track to achieve my financial goals. Syamim and I aren't far apart in terms of age so we could connect and relate to each other’s stories and life experiences. As we shared our stories, our relationship turned from Financial consultant and client to friends. I got really comfortable with sharing almost everything about my financial situation and we do also talk about life. The experiences and lessons Syamim shared with me helps me a lot because I can relate to it and he’s always there to give me really useful advice about financials and life in general. I definitely would recommend Syamim to others especially for those who are looking for a financial consultant who will consistently help, monitor and give them the extra push to achieve their financial goals.

Fadzli (Executive)

I previously had a bad experience with an acquaintance who sold me things I didn’t really need. It left me quite hesitant, but a friend recommended Syamim and I decided to give it a try, as I wanted someone outside my immediate circle. From the start, I found the session very beneficial. Every plan suggested was personalized specifically for me, and everything was explained clearly in detail. I truly felt heard and understood, and for the first time, I felt confident about my financial decisions. I would definitely recommend Syamim to others who want clarity and a personalized approach
