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.

Safrin (Teacher)

Syamim has been extremely helpful in assisting me and my husband with our finances over the years. We started off as newly employed young adults with lots of goals and ambitions for our future but with no plan, but Syamim's advice and guidance on these matters has been godsend. He makes sure to provide very personalized plans that shows he cares which is what everyone looks for in a financial planner. It's not easy to find such dedicated workers these days, we are glad that we were able to engage him so early on even before starting our careers. Thank you for the constant and amazing service Syamim! All the best in your career!

Syafiqah (Immigration Officer)

It was just last year when I was introduced to Syamim. Syamim's main priority is to educate us on healthy financial habits. He would create a customised plan depending on our lifestyle, spending habits and financial commitments. As he is very easy-going, it was really easy to talk to him and consult him regarding financial matters. He is also very detailed and efficient in his work. He makes use of excel sheets, graphs and charts to further explain and give a clearer picture so that we really understand and not just agree blindly. For someone like me who has no prior experience and knowledge regarding financial planning, this has greatly benefitted me. I am able to be on track with my future goals and milestones. I strongly recommend Syamim to anyone out there who has doubts regarding financial planning and those who need the extra help in planning for their future goals.

Farhaan (Civil servant)

I’ve known Syamim since he was serving his national service with SCDF, so when he reached out to me for financial planning, it felt like the right time to get started. What gave me additional confidence was knowing that several of our mutual colleagues already trusted him to manage their finances. Working with Syamim has been a smooth experience—he's always responsive, easy to reach, and takes the time to explain things thoroughly. He breaks down complex financial matters in a way that’s easy to understand, which really helps with making informed decisions. I trust him to guide my financial journey and appreciate the clarity he brings to the process and would definitely recommend his services

Shafiq (Civil servant) & Hidayah (Healthcare)

Syamim has been a great help to our family when it comes to financial planning. Although we both knew each other personally, he showcased his professionalism and dedication in his work. He will always come prepared for the meet up sessions and has been excellent in planning for our future family goals. Syamim has made us understand better when it comes to insurance and investment and gives very good advice. He is definitely the modern day kind of financial advisor you would not want to miss out on. A very thoughtful and respectful individual too.

Nabiilah (Counsellor)

Syamim was welcoming and respectful of my many questions and gave me time to process his responses. He was very patient in sharing the different plans and jargons that sounded alien to me. Meetings with him were pleasant and cordial and it did not take long for me to trust him. I liked that I could ask him for opinion yet there was no pressure to adopt them. He was also very efficient and would follow up/ drop reminders when necessary. I feel at ease knowing that my finances are under his care. I recommend Syamim if you’re looking for a trusted advisor.

Nasran (Early Childhood Teacher)

Meeting Syamim helped me establish a proper system that I could use to ensure accountability of my finances. He made me realise that it is crucial and necessary for me to plan ahead be it short-term or long-term in terms of personal finances. I definitely would recommend this meeting to other people because he ensures that the methods he suggests are applicable to my financial situation as well as provide further insight to better improve my financial literacy. People would definitely benefit from meeting him as he provides a very open and understanding environment when it comes to personal financial aspects like spending and income, and even takes a step further in providing a viable solution that is effective and personalised.
