| 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. | | To reach beyond your limits by training your mind | Marisa Peer | TEDxKCS  | | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

© Kenneth Cheng, All rights reserved. | |  | | Leon Chaw, Senior Financial Consultant I have known Kenneth since I was 18. Lost and inexperienced about life, Kenneth has provided me guidance and support throughout my younger days. He is genuine in his mentorship and the only motive he has; to do well and do good collectively be it personal or at work.
Kenneth has displayed the fine example of walking the talk. As a 20-year veteran and leader in the financial advisory industry, he remains humble with his advices while ensuring that his team remain grounded while striving for excellence.
Kenneth’s foresight and and aptitude in life enabled the team to continuously innovate in our business, even in tough times such as COVID-19. If you’re ready to challenge yourself and want to get out of your comfort zone, do reach out to Kenneth and he will provide you with the most uncomfortable truth yet real advices. | |  | | Michelle Tan, Senior Financial Consultant Kenneth's confidence, experience and his ability to vision made me took a leap of faith from my decent paying job & multiple offers to join his team. It was indeed a tough decision but I have never regretted ever since. He believes in me more than I believe in myself & will push me to do better, be better. I have grown a lot these 4 years under his mentorship, emotionally, mentally & financially. I'm proud to say that without Kenneth, I wouldn't be where I am right now.
Everything happens for a reason. If you ever receive a call from Kenneth one day on a new career opportunity, pick it up, have a coffee with him. It might be the turning point you were waiting for. | |  | | Jace Low, Financial Consultant I met Kenneth when I was looking to enter the financial services industry back in 2020, and what really stood out to me was his upfront honesty and transparent nature. I was exploring many opportunities at the time and Kenneth's ability to lead really spoke to me because he never gave me "fluff" or painted a flowery picture but was always very real in his mentorship and guidance to me. I've also seen him on multiple occasions go out of his way to help not only mentees but also his clients who ask for his time of day urgently, despite his tight schedule. I'm thankful for his presence in my life and would not want to be anywhere else except with Opulence and under his care. I am sure others who have worked with him will say the same and I am all but certain that future new mentees and new clients will see what I see as well. | |  | | Crystal Huang, Senior Financial Consultant I joined Kenneth's Team back in 2018, and I would say it was his character and transparency that gave me the leap of faith to join the Finance & Insurance Industry. Time flies and it is my fourth year, Kenneth would still be ever ready to assist me should I need advise, and also he continues to support the Team with prospecting methods and ideas. Despite being in the industry for more than 20 years himself, he is always open to new ideas, suggestions, and continues to learn from others (signing up for courses/ hearing from others). He is a leader who leads and inspire many others. | |  | | Jesslyn Wong, Manager Kenneth has been our financial planner since 2005, when we bought our first endowment policy for our newborn. Since then, we have bought multiple policies from Life, Mortgage, Investment to Hospitalization. Kenneth is knowledgeable and provided us with sound recommendation on the policies that suit our needs and budget at the different stages of our lives. He is like our go-to-man for all our insurance and coverage needs. | |  | | Ullas Nair, G6 Army, MINDEF I have known Kenneth for about 21 years since we worked together in PT & Sports branch of G6 Army, MINDEF. As that time he was a specialist enlisted and trained as a fitness instructor. I was his superior officer and we worked together in managing and monitoring the army’s overall fitness data and making plans and policies. He struck me even then as a dedicated person, who took his full time national service seriously. He worked hard to ensure that our data was accurate and reliable and fit its purposes.
After he left his army service where he had done very well, he branched out into the insurance industry. I was certain he would not only do well but excel in his chosen field at Prudential. We kept in touch all through the years and he even recommended me some good insurance products. His service was excellent, he treat everyone as a special friend not just a customer. He even assisted his army colleagues to invest week and we all found him to be a capable and reliable person.
As an individual, Kenneth has very good inter-personal skills and EQ, but he is genuinely a nice person and would contact us from time to time even if we were not involved in any business deals with him. He has a food reputation from all his army friends even after leaving service more than 21 years ago. I wish him the best and I know he will serve his clients and friends well.
