A Monthly Curated Newsletter

As humans, we often like to think we're right, even when we can be wrong at times. Many of us have the unconscious tendency to seek information that support our existing beliefs & disregard or undermine those that do not match ours. But doing so without awareness or questioning can have adverse effects in the way we think, make decisions & live our lives. Today, I'd like to share with you some potential consequences of confirmation bias & what we can do about them.

World’s richest man says highly intelligent people do this one thing

To Amazon billionaire and world’s richest man, Jeff Bezos, this phrase is extremely true. He believes one single trait distinguishes highly intelligent people from all over people: the ability to reassess and change their minds.

Wil-son

I started out in this career believing that buying insurance products was a no brainer as it transfers our risk to the insurers.

Someone once said this to me : Did you know insurance is created by the rich and for the rich?

I guess indeed for the rich, they do have knowledge to capitalize on insurance/investment products to multiply what they already have. Hence, the potential insurance could bring for everyone.

How about the rest of us whom "are not so rich"?

I learnt the foundation of Financial planning and the first thing I did was to plan for my own family. To get rich? Nope. The first things my wife and I focused on was health, accident and protection plans. These do not make us rich.

What these plans does:
1. If we fall sick, we do not become burden to the family
2. If we passed on, our kids are able to survive till they can earn a living and our mothers are taken care of till a ripe old age.

I believe my concept of PROTECTING the family first, is important. How do I plan for others if I cannot even take care of my own family planning first?

I hope my clients could trust me to plan for their protection too.

I will highly recommend Wilson because he is very approachable, genuine yet professional. I have been bombing him with questions to and fro before finalising my decision. But he was very patient and attentive to my needs.

I signed my first policy with him without feeling any pressure and was given ample cooling time to decide. After a couple of years, he still consistently make the effort to engage and follow up on my well-being. He always put customers and their well-being before anything!

Finance Executive

Be frank, I have never like financial planner becos after signing up plan with them, i don’t see or hear from them.

It is like a one time business. But meeting Wil-son, he given me an impression of he really does care of what I really need and not what he needs for the figures to hit his quota.

Wil-son is friendly, approachable and really a good listener. I will highly recommend him to whoever I know is in need.

Thank you Wil-son and wish he is always loved and trusted by all his clients and growth in his career.

Huat Huat Huat!!!!

I met Wil-son through my boss. Even though I only recently had him as my financial advisor, I have nothing but good words to say about Wil-son. In the two years that I’ve known Wil-son while assisting my boss with his matters, Wil-son has always been someone I could depend on. I appreciate that he is always patient in explaining when I have questions, and I’ve had a lot of them.

There are many financial advisors out there. You will find that a lot are okay and an equal amount that aren’t that great. Then there are the few who, when you find them, make what was previously okay pale in comparison. Wil-son is one of the few, and it shows undeniably in his sincerity. All this is why I am beating myself up for not having thought of reaching out to Wil-son sooner.

I don’t often give recommendations because when things go wrong, you’ll end up getting blamed, but this is how much I believe in Wil-son from the times he has shown up for my boss and me, and at the level at which he did.

It gives me such peace of mind to know now that I have someone I trust to advise me and look out for my best interests. You can have that too.

It's a true blessing to have a user and client like Wil-son and I'm glad to be able to meet him face-to-face after having him onboard with us for the past two years.

From the first interactions over the phone and via WhatsApp, Wil-son proved to be one of the most polite and proactive users that I have come across - always asking me good questions on how best he can utilise and maximise the services on our platform. Not to mention he has a very friendly demeanour too, which I appreciate very much.

Seeing how proficient he's become with the system and how creatively he uses it to deliver value to his own clients, I cannot be more proud and heartened. His positivity and forward-lookingness (if there's even such a word) makes him an asset -- not just to us, but also to his co-workers and his own clients.

Keep shining and wishing you all the very best, Wil-son!

Wai Fong
Retiree
Client since 2020

2020 has been a trying year for everyone with the ongoing pandemic, and more so for me. In August 2020, I was unexpectedly hospitalized for the first time in my life (besides pregnancy and childbirth, that is) for appendicitis. I was distressed over my health and hit by the realization that I did not have a hospital plan that could cover my hospital bills.

Given my age, I was also unsure on whether insurance companies would be willing to provide me with the adequate coverage. I was then introduced to Wil-son by my daughter, who went the extra mile to search and analyze insurance policies, before patiently explaining and recommending the most appropriate coverage for me.

I am much appreciative for the patience and support rendered by Wil-son during this difficult period and his sincerity and genuine concern towards his clients.

To me, he is not an agent, but a trusted family friend.
