We work in a hectic lifestyle in Singapore. I used to work non stop 24/7 when I first started out 19yrs ago. I remembered vividly going for multiple meetings in a day, sometimes packing 2-3 in one evening!

⛈️ One night, when I was taking the LAST train ride back, I asked myself, how long am I going to last at this pace? If I continue like this, there might be a burnout. I could even feel my heart pounding with all the adrenalin, just thinking about it.

My mentor was sharing with me, you need to take a different strategy if you want to be able to sustain long in this business. You need rest and you need to be selective in who is going to be your client.

💯 “Come to me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

Today’s gospel passage reminds me of this.. REST. Within this short message, it reminds us to REST TWICE and leave our burdens to God in prayer. When I leave my problems at the foot of the cross and my concerns, I always have this feeling of assurance that God will provide and he has provided for the last 19yrs and counting, in HIS time. I do the right work, with the right people and with the right attitude of value adding and effective hard work, and I just trust the process.

🙏 Ever since then, I had repositioned my practice. We always have a “Pre-screening” meeting before prospects engage us. It was about us getting to listen to them, to understand their pain points and if they and we would be able to see ourselves on a long term partnership together. If for whatever reason there is no fit, we part ways respectfully. And if there is a good conversation with trust, then, we will be in for the long haul.

So today, we are not looking for quantity but quality and that will result in wonderful relationships we have with our clients, their partners and families, and we build a better and happier practice.

🎯 I have been “financial coaching” for the past 19yrs and those who have set their dream goals, stuck to their plan, remained disciplined, despite the market volatility, and had me as the one journeying with them, have a much higher chance of success in the best and worst case scenarios of their lives

♥️This take a PROCESS to plan, to TRANSFORM with a rewirement programme. And I can tell you it takes time. It takes effort to Unlearn to Relearn.
