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.

Doctor Jonathan Ng

What sets Joshua apart from the rest as a financial advisor is that he isn’t simply pushing product, he advocates for a lifestyle of financial literacy. He has an astute understanding of the markets, able to cater to varying needs of clients and engage at a level comfortable for them. More importantly, it is his trustworthiness and professionalism that shines through which makes me willing to put my hard-earned money in his hands.

Lau GK. Head Accountant. HReasily

One thing that sets Joshua apart from the rest is his efficiency. Queries and issues get resolved very quickly followed by constant updates. Met a few other people before deciding to work exclusively with Joshua. He also has a wide scope of knowledge beyond his area of expertise.

Dr N Lin

Joshua has been very helpful in providing financial advice to his client! He will take the effort to understand the financial situation of his client and assist them in planning for the future in the best way possible. He provides his analysis and explains the various plans in a way that is easily understandable by focusing on the content of the product and how it applies to the client, rather than just hard selling the product which some financial consultants will do. He is also very patient and takes his time to do his research to help his customers.

Tan Yu Hui, Software Consultant

Joshua has been my financial advisor since I started work officially in 2020. I am not someone who is well read in the area of insurance, and at every step of the process of purchasing my insurance, he has been very patient in explaining the terms and advising me on what would suit me best. Joshua is also straightforward with his advice and I consider him to be trustworthy. His wealth of knowledge in the industry is also strongly backed up with his MDRT achievements and his recent Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC) certification. With his ability, you can rest easy knowing that your finances are in good hands.

Chua Yong Fa, Test Engineer, Tiktok Singapore

Joshua is logical and resourceful person. He will always figure out a way to resolve any problems whether it be with his own knowledge and experience, or through the employment of the expertise of specialists in other fields relating to the problem. His never-say-die nature and hardworking attitude pushes him to keep striving on to improve himself to be better as a person and an advisor. His honest and straightforward personality allows me to be able to share things with him to seek advice from him and also have an intellectually stimulating conversation with no holds barred. Having known him for more than 10 years, seeing his workstyle and growth from being the class chairman to the canoeing captain to becoming an advisor, I've grown to trust in his ability and workstyle to resolve problems pertaining to his craft. The connection that I have with him grows far beyond what any other agents have, which allows for ever more effective communication with him to get things done. I strongly believe that this bond we have will go a long way both in our friendship and the relationship we have as advisor and client.

Augustine Tan, Global Data Analyst, Bloomberg LP

Joshua is straightforward as an agent, and as a friend. I appreciate the fact that he is not afraid to challenge your goals and assumptions, and his ability to steer your thinking to consider different perspectives, one which you may not have considered before. I appreciate his attention to small details such as our yearly cash flow planning and his genuine curiosity about my life so he is better equipped to advise me financially. He puts his money where his mouth is and I only regret I did not know him earlier in my financial planning journey. Nevertheless, he has never been pushy about me surrendering my existing policies, and is happy to work according to my needs. I also value his advice in other life aspects like the workplace and personal relationships, and am glad to be able to say that if I encounter any difficulties, he will be there for me as a friend first, and an agent second. I thank fate for bringing us back together as I know I’m in good hands
