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.

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.
