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.

Testimonials and Referral Notes

Khair (Systems Engineer)

Syamim was patient in sharing the knowledge regarding financial planning and wealth accumulation. With the plan that was drafted out, I could roughly see which area of my finances I should reduce and how I can plan more for the future. The excel file allowed me to have a more holistic view of my cashflow and how to plan for the goals ahead. Other than the typical financial plans, he also imparted other financial knowledge to me such as credit cards, income tax savings and debt management. I would greatly recommend my friends and family to meet Syamim and understand the importance of financial planning

Raihan (Civil servant) & Sonia (Teacher)

We were looking for an financial advisor and got to know Syamim through a family member. The most beneficial part of the meeting is that Syamim is very transparent and he encourages you to select what is best for you at your current life stage. As for us, we met him when we were about to get married and he explained about the financial plans that’ll benefit us both in the future. We would recommend others to meet Syamim is warm & kind. He respects your space but is genuine in getting to know you at a personal level.

Durgga (Lecturer)

Syamim is a great consultant and he takes a lot of effort in managing his client’s portfolio. Truly impressed on the service he provided and his patience in explaining the product details as well. Thank you Syamim!

Zabeer (Business owner)

I was encouraged to meet Syamim by my best friend due to the great experience he had with the services and relationship he offered. I was always the person who thought that I could manage my own financial planning for the future. My first meeting with Syamim was very different than what I had pictured. It was more like having a friend over to who has keen listening ear and someone who has our interest as his main priority. He gives you ideas and is not steadfast in selling his point of view rather he is willing to find the closest solutions to our financial needs. Understanding the priorities that we have, he constructs a clear financial plan for both the near and the distant future. When you choose him as your financial planner , you get a person who is meticulous in looking after the fine details of your financial goals that you have. Rest assured , you can have the peace of mind that it is well taken care of. I would recommend any person to have a first meeting with Syamim before you take a decision on engaging any other person for your financial needs or if you were someone like me, try meeting Syamim and feel the impression he can make on you.

Shan (Firefighter)

Syamim was referred to me by my childhood friend. It was to do financial planning for my wife and I. Syamim went the extra mile to look into these for me and realized that 1 of my policy was over paid and the benefits was not worth for the amount I was paying. From my experience, most financial advisors will relatively ask you to start investment plans and seldom speak about emergency funds. Syamim was the opposite, he told me to grow my emergency funds first and invest only after that. He has given me a bigger picture on financial planning and choosing the correct policies. Its never 1 option. He always gives minimum of 3 options and a recommended one. That is what we call a zero obligation consultation. We met a few times before deciding on a certain policy. Every meeting with him was a beneficial one. I believe 1 consultation with Syamim is enough to know where you currently stand in your financial profile. I would definitely recommend Syamim to people I know. His knowledge in financial planning is top notch.

Fatima (Pharmacist) & Khai (Engineer)

I met Syamim through my husband as I wanted to engage the services of a financial consultant that can manage both my personal finances and shared finances with my husband. I was hesitant at first as I already had a financial consultant before meeting Syamim but after hearing about his excellent services, I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised during the first meeting with Syamim - he is a knowledgeable consultant yet breaks it down such that it is easier for me to understand the different insurance policies and financial tools that are available. He provides options and plans/ideas tailored specifically to my finances and lifestyle. He also always ensures that I have a holistic understanding of my financial landscape and goals in life. I highly recommend Syamim to anyone who is looking for a competent financial consultant who is dedicated and thorough in his work.
