A Monthly Curated Newsletter

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.

Kerri & Kai Leong HO. Bank Director & Senior Staff Engineer

We have known Caslyn for over 30 years and she is our family insurance agent. Caslyn is not just an average run of the mill insurance agent to us - over the years, she has also become a good family friend who really makes a genuine effort to keep in touch with us and understand our family needs through the different seasons of our lives. She is friendly, down to earth, authentic and most importantly, due to her many years in the industry, is an expert in the field of personal insurance. During policy review sessions, Caslyn always goes out of the way to ensure that meeting times and venues are conducive and she is very patient in explaining all of the constant ins and outs of the policies. For anyone who is looking for help in personal insurance and someone who will genuinely take care of you through life’s many seasons, we would not hesitate to recommend Caslyn.

Alex Cano. Business Owner. Route One Consulting Pte Ltd

I write this recommendation for Caslyn Yap from AIA Financial Services with great enthusiasm for the exceptional quality of her work as my family insurance agent for more than 10 years. She has been taking care of our insurance needs for many years. She is vigorous and meticulous in answering our questions, and very quick in getting back to us even when we need assistance in filing a claim. Thus, she makes me feel comfortable and easy even when we talk about some possible unpleasant surprises that all of us might encounter in our life. I have full confidence that my family is well protected with policies recommended by Caslyn and I have a feeling that she puts security of my family above any financial benefits as she always helps us to get me best coverage for the reasonable premium.

Leng Khoon & Seow Yin. Educator

The purpose of this is to commend Mdm Caslyn Yap for the excellent service she provided to myself and my wife throughout her more than 20 years as our insurance agent. In my humble opinion, the level of service Caslyn extended to myself (in the earlier years) and my family (after I got married) was beyond our expectations. Although my wife and I have never written a commendation letter like this on an entirely unsolicited basis, I was so impressed by the support and service provided by Caslyn that I felt compelled to do so Caslyn answers all our texts and calls promptly. Although our first contact with her was more than 20 years ago, we can honestly say that she has been the most pleasant and knowledgeable agent to work with. Her sincerity is second to none. If she didn't have an answer for our questions at the time she made sure she called me back or texted the information that we needed. The process of obtaining insurance, especially travel insurances, and asking further questions has been a breeze. In closing, the enthusiasm, professionalism and sheer hard work displayed by Caslyn far exceeded our expectations of an insurance agent, which is why we will unreservedly provide further clarifications should the need arise.

Ben & Suet Fong. Educators

Having been a customer of AIA since we started work in the early 1980’s, we were delighted when Caslyn kindly offered to do an analysis of all our insurance policies and investment plans from all the insurers we bought policies and investment products from. She did an impressive job of summarising these and highlighting we need to plan for our retirement. We truly appreciate her timely advice to us to invest our funds wisely to plan for our retirement. Since 2010, Caslyn has been regularly updating both of us on AIA’s new product offerings. As our Financial Advisor, she is very responsive and proactive in addressing our questions promptly and professionally. Very often our discussions would take up a lot of time. We appreciate her patience, attention to detail and the time she spends in recommending the most appropriate AIA products that best meet our needs. Caslyn deserves the recognition that AIA has given her in her career as she renders excellent service to her clients like us.
