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.

Rania (Corporate Trainer)

I met Syamim through my boyfriend and I’m grateful to be able to work with him! I didn’t really know much about financial planning or suitable insurance policies especially as a fresh grad. But Syamim was able to help me come up with a savings excel plan that I can easily stick to and make my life goals much easier to achieve. He was not pushy at all and was very patient and very clear and concise while explaining everything to me. He even took into consideration my relatively small budget and made it work! Would definitely recommend Syamim to my friends and family

Faheem (Pricing Analyst)

Syamim has been my financial advisor ever since I graduated, and he has been a great help in providing a catered financial plan for me. Not only did he go through what I needed in the policies, but he also went the extra mile of understanding my financial position as well as risk appetite and gave expert advise on how to take on my financial journey. On top of that, Syamim often shares his insights on how he manages his own risks and accumulate wealth, unrelated to the products that he is selling. This allows me the autonomy to make my own financial decisions without feeling obligated to purchase the financial products that are available. Initially, I was sceptical about financial advisors as they tend to be pushy and often upsell their products based on my past experiences with some of them. However, with Syamim I am able to put my utmost confidence in him as he would ensure that he understand my financial standing and life priorities before even proposing a solution to me. This is what I appreciate most about in my financial advisor, and I would not recommend Syamim more to anyone who needs an advisor or a mentor!

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!

Zul (Civil Servant)

The most beneficial part of meeting Syamim is that he helped me calculate my cash flow clearly and gave advise from there on what are the actionable steps to take, including general tips such as ways to reduce expenses. I recommend this meeting to others as Syamim always has a personalised content to share with me. He always ask if I'm comfortable with a certain recommendation and gives alternatives if he sees me having a difficult time in making a decision. All in all, there is an element of legitimate care and concern abt my wellbeing and what the future holds for me shown by Syamim.

Aameena

I recently had the pleasure of working with Syamim from Great Eastern for my insurance needs, and I must say that my experience was exceptionally positive. Syamim demonstrated a high level of professionalism and provided excellent customer service throughout the entire process. He was prompt in responding to my inquiries, addressing my concerns, and guiding me through the complexities of various insurance policies. What sets Syamim apart is his in-depth knowledge. He took the time to thoroughly explain the available options, helping me understand the intricacies of each policy. His expertise made it easier for me to make informed decisions that align with my specific needs. Communication was generally clear and concise. I appreciated Syamim's commitment to tailoring a policy that fits my unique requirements. He took the time to assess my situation and customize a plan that not only provides comprehensive coverage but also fits within my budget. Working with Syamim was a refreshing experience in an industry that can sometimes be overwhelming. His dedication to customer satisfaction, coupled with his knowledge and professionalism, makes him a reliable choice for anyone seeking insurance solutions. I highly recommend Syamim to anyone in search of a trustworthy and competent insurance agent. His commitment to excellence is evident, and I feel confident knowing that my insurance needs are in capable hands.

Midzi (Estate Executive)

Syamim is always upfront and honest in answering my queries. He takes his time to explain everything in detail and make sure I understand what policies I am opting for. The most beneficial part of the meeting is the financial planning. I benefitted a lot from his planning to make sure I am on track with the proposed financial plans to hit my different financial milestones such as marriage and housing. Planning ahead is key and Syamim has helped me become accountable to it. Syamim is very approachable. The experience is great as communication is key. To understand and to know a policy you are getting is very important. I would definitely recommend Syamim to others! I would never risk my reputation to recommend unless I have experienced it myself.
