Self-Doubt & Self-Confidence

A Monthly Curated Newsletter

In life, there are days and moments where everything we do does not feel enough, or face situations that are beyond our control. A common response to such instances is to doubt ourselves and our abilities, and that is a very normal and human thing to do. But the effect of self-doubt can cut both ways: It can either spur us to achieve our goals and thereby boost our confidence levels, or cause us to feel entirely powerless and paralysed. Fortunately, whether we allow it to work for or against us is mostly up to us. In this issue, we will explore the ways in which we can harness self-doubt to build confidence -- one step at a time.

Moving from Self Doubt to Self Confidence

It would be nice if moving from self doubt to self confidence just came naturally. However, moving from self doubt to self confidence is a practice you can adopt, with practice. When you are able to identify where your insecurities lie and what is stopping you from feeling confident, you can then start the process of moving from self doubt to self confidence. You will be able to work on eliminating the blocks that are keeping you from moving through life with assuredness. Here are some of the culprits for the patterns of self doubt and ideas for what you can do about them.

Why confidence and knowledge can lead to smart money decisions

Two common areas that cause people to procrastinate financially are knowledge and confidence. Logically, we know that financial literacy can boost our confidence to make informed money-management decisions. Yet, many people tell me that they lack the confidence to learn and absorb that financial knowledge, which holds them back. However, everybody is capable of effectively managing their money. While some need mindset adjustments, others need a confidence boost or a little reassurance that they are on the right track. Take small steps, follow and when doubt starts to creep in, remind yourself that money is only a tool and you are learning.

Aaron Wan

I chose Michael to provide us with Business Consultancy Service as his role is vital to help us identify the incumbent and the need to address issues which may be detrimental to both business and family. Most importantly, not to procrastinate with whatever course of action that was needed to be taken. He listened, compiled our intentions and came up with a proposal stating the facts and legalities as best advice by the lawyers and accountants. In doing so, a non-biased agreement was drawn up to the best interest of all shareholders.

Jason (CEO of Stratgeist)

7 years into running my startup and growing it as quickly as I could into multiple countries, the concept of Business Continuity Planning had never crossed my mind. Until I met Michael Seow and Family , it never occured to me that there were ways for me to bullet-proof my business to survive beyond me. I’m really grateful that they started asking me questions that I had no answers for, but they had clear answer to. With their help, I’ve managed to put in place safeguards and policies that could secure the continuity of a business that I’ve invested so much time, work and effort to build, to ensure it remains resilient to major changes, even at the leadership and keyman level. If you are a business owner, regardless of the size of the business, I would highly recommend that you have a chat with them and unlock possibilities that you probably never knew existed.

Sam Koh, Founder & CEO of HQ

I've known Michael and worked with him for the past 15 years. His passion in learning and his deep knowledge in Estate Planning and Business Continuity Planning has been impressive. He was able to apply these knowledge for clients on the ground, thus making a real difference there. Michael has also been sought after as a trainer in these subjects.

Wee Han, MD Equal Brand

I have known Michael for a few years, probably 10 years or more. He had helped me with some succession planning matters, from a business, as well as personal context. His knowledge and skills in business succession planning/exit strategies, sets him apart from other advisers/consultants. I would highly recommend you meet up with him.
