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.

Hi, this is a good opportunity to explore new options for investment or retirement plan, no strings attached. Feel free to contact Kamen to learn more.

I got introduced to Karna & Kamen via a facebook ad late 2018 and did not have much expectations before the meet and just wanted to give a try. Instead of trying to sell what they wanted to sell me, they tried to understand my needs & constraints and tried to get me a product that would suit my needs. Since then they’ve helped me with all my insurance needs.

I have never really cared much about insurances until I met Kamen. Next thing I knew, I had pretty much all that i need covered from medical to life and savings; next would be my retirement. :)
He is trustworthy and would patiently listen to and understand your needs before figuring out the best way to help you.
You definitely need someone like him to guide you!

Kamen has been extremely patient and professional. He took time to understand my situation and needs before providing a systematic solution for my retirement.
Happy with my perspective towards retirement planning!
