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.

Angela. Accountant.

I enjoyed the sharing process by Ellie which gives me an overview of the types of protection one needs to secure over a lifetime. I like that Ellie reviewed my existing policies and assessed the shortfalls that I may have and recommended me policies that are beneficial to me :) She is also very detailed and explained in depth into the different policies that she recommended to ensure that I understand what I am getting out of it. She gave me a sense of assurance of what I am being protected against which is very important to me.

Qing Li. Project Engineer. Surbana.

I have known JJ since sec school days. His dedication, commitment and his passion to deliver can be seen in the way he assist to organize my portfolio and provide me with valuable financial advice and to share his knowledge whenever required, and providing me with alternative considerations. Although it is a relatively fresh start for him since making the step into financial planning, his ability to relate and share may be his greatest asset and for others to place their trust in him.

Ellie has my best interests in mind. She took the time to analyze my current insurance policies and was able to make some excellent recommendations. She provided me with a very detailed quote and options to fit my specific needs. She was very mindful of customer satisfaction and even came to my house to pass me the physical copies of the policies I got from her. I look forward to a long relationship with her at Prudential.

I have known JJ since his RSAF days. He was my superior and one who never fails to take care of his subordinates. Sometimes even to the point of going beyond his duty. His diligence and dedication in this profession has convinced me to take up certain plans. He is knowledgeable, approachable and very patient. He listens and does his utmost best to find the suitable policy to meet my needs. I will definitely recommend him to my friends who needs financial advice as he is not a hard seller but someone who serves wholeheartedly.
