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.

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.

Guo Ren (Senior Executive Assistant)

Financial planning with Ben has always been a fun and interactive talk. He has put into various concerns and plans that you have voiced out into considerations of your current financial status and advise you accordingly. He will not make the session into a situation whereby he hardsell you additional policies. I would recommend him to be a friend that you can speak about your concerns and he would recommend policies that would help you resolve those concerns.

Adli (Consultant)

I’ve known Ben for 10 years, and all this time I’ve always been impressed with his ability to make something complex really easy to understand. His explanations of the various policies allow me to clearly understand what I have and what I am lacking in my coverage. His analysis is detailed and succinct, and his recommendations are always suited to my current and future financial situation. I thoroughly enjoy every session with him as not only does he not hard-sell, he carries himself professionally and with a pleasant smile throughout :) I would highly recommend him to everyone. Keep up the great work Ben!

Wan Wei (Research Engineer)

I am writing this testimonial to recommend Ben as a financial advisor. I got to know Ben through my previous job, and he has been a good friend who is patient and sincere. Initially, I have no idea what good financial planning is, until I met Ben. He went the extra mile to provide details and explanation for the various policies available. He helps me to analyze my current financial status so that the best plan can be recommended. It is really nice to work with a financial adviser who always put the needs and preferences of his clients first. Thank you so much for being an incredible advisor and listener! From helping me to put things into perspective to preparing me for great things in the future. I have no doubt in recommending Ben to any of my friends and family.

Michelle (Assistant Professor)

It’s easy to engage the services of an Insurance Agent, but in my experience, a responsible agent is hard to come by. Benjamin is a god-sent after my previous agent went MIA. He is meticulous and paid close attention to my financial needs. There is no hard selling and I particularly appreciate the clear way in which he communicates policy details. Every discussion we’ve had was stress free. Every conversation feels like an informative conversation with an old friend. If you’re looking for financial planning advice, look no further.

Rahul (Software Engineer)

I've known Benji for a few years and recently I seek his advice on some of my existing policies and investments. He went above and beyond what I could've ever expected to help me get all my doubts and questions answered. He is very thorough with his work, and is honest and upfront about things. I believe, that's the true sign of a trusted advisor for anyone!
