How many of you have watched this latest movie, “The Avengers”?
For every 10 of you reading this blog post, I can guarantee at least 5-6 of you have watched this movie, because it is soooo popular… 🙂
My facebook feeds are flooded with people “checking in” the cinema to watch the movie or filled with snippets of reviews, line of thoughts about the movie. Overall, the movie was awesome, though I feel, some part of it should be trimmed away. i love fast action movie
So, what does Avengers got to do with financial planners in Singapore?
When I first watched the movie with my girlfriend, the first thing that struck me about the movie other than the explosive stuffs, was the importance of taking responsibility and teamwork.
As a financial planner, clients entrust us with their money. We need to take responsibility to manage their money well, recommending them plans, consistent with their risk profile.
We need to take responsibility to provide them with a trusted counsel, by placing their interest at heart. instead of our company
We need to take responsibility to be open, honest and transparent with all our clients, at all times in our professional dealings. Do not suppress information, omit, delete or adjust, just to induce a sale..
If we can take responsibility, take ownership to help our client meet their financial goals while advocating such principles…….. This is what I call, the champion mindset with a loving heart! 🙂
Second lesson that I get from the movie is the power of teamwork.
Recently, NTUC Income Muslim financial consultants did a roadshow at the Halal Food Expo 2012. To get our company to subside the rental fee + set up cost, we need to hit a certain target, a multiplier of the total roadshow costs.
As this is one of the roadshows that involved high costs, naturally the target is high. A few of our top producers contributed, but we still plagued with an irritating shortfall. Alhamdulillah, when all gives their share, we hit the target set, and get our roadshow subsidised.
This can only happen with the power of teamwork. Instead of relying on the producing consultants in the team, all put in effort and give their bit. That is where, goals are achieved and barriers are lifted. Hope you learn something from this post. Insya’Allah. 🙂

I prepared a superb, compact, financial, post for the month of Ramadan, yet due to my hectic schedule, I delayed my posting, only to realise that Hari Raya Puasa is coming. (thus I decided to post a lighter one)
Indeed, time flies…. 🙁
As Hari Raya is approaching, I am very sure, many of us, busy ourself preparing for this festive season.
Have you bought your baju kurung? 🙂
Do you make your kueh raya, or you buy them?
Have you changed your $2 notes to be distributed as “ang pao”?
Have you payed your Zakat Harta & Zakat Fitrah?
Are you buying new curtains to decorate your house?
As, we financial consultants from NTUC Income now has a booth at Mega Bazaar, at Geylang, I took the opportunity to survey the area, looking for good deals.
I just realised that the pricing of the kuehs (cookies) is quite exhorbitantly high. Maybe because it is homemade.
I am tracking all the prices so that at the end of Ramadhan (malam raya), I can sniff off the good deals and profit from it.
Oh yes! Btw, I will like to wish all my clients, friends, relatives, anyone reading my blog right now, Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Dan Batin!!! 🙂

I am in a process of engaging a telemarketer, to follow up my leads collected from roadshows, and also to arrange appointments for financial reviews for my existing clients.
I have done roadshows for almost coming 2 years now, collected over 1000 leads. I will get my telemarketer to call all these leads, and together, we will developed an IT BASED follow up system.
As time passed, I will be systematizing all my work, so that I can focus more on giving value to my existing clients and concentrate in completing my book.
I also engaged, marketing consultant, Bro Hafihz’s expertise, to help me draft out a marketing plan, on how to systemise my business operations, from alternative ways to generate leads (other than roadshows), to effective and efficient management of existing clients.
Lots of exciting events coming on the way… 🙂 🙂 🙂
Now, I am assembling a team of Malay Financial Consultants from NTUC Income, and gearing for our first collaborative roadshow at Mega Raya Bazaar 2009, Singapore Post Centre, outdoor atrium. We will be there from 21st August to 19 September 2009.
Its fun….Its fun….Its FUN…..and I am soooo…..charged up to get it started!!! 🙂

Yesterday, we, NTUC Income rookies have a session with our branch manager.
He talked about his experiences, and what profoundly struck me most is the key word, “internalisation”.
I believe 2 things will affect you in life,
1) The book you read
2) The people surrounding you.
We internalise messages from these 2 chief elements and these very messages which assimilate in our heart forms our habits, attitudes and how we run our life.
That is why, I bought and read lots of motivational, self help, financial, wealth management books.
…and I also ensure that people surrounding me are naturally positive.
Btw, talking about internalisation, I found this video…I meant this WONDEFUL video which has subliminal, powerful messages embedded in it.
Enjoy! 🙂
