We live in three distinct timeframes - the Past, the Present, and the Future. Many times, we tend to live and make decisions based on what gives us immediate gratification, and often to our detriment. Despite not knowing what tomorrow will bring, planning ahead removes uncertainty and provides clarity to our lives. In this issue, I have included articles that I hope will inspire you to take actions that your future self will thank you for. | Planning Ahead Is the Key to Living With More Spontaneity Scheduling spontaneity doesn't lessen the joy of spontaneity; it enables it. You still have the freedom to do whatever strikes you in the moment - even more so because you know that's exactly what you intended to do. | 10 Reasons To Start Christmas Planning Early With a bit of forethought, there's no reason it needs to be quite as nerve-wracking or frustrating as often the days leading up to the holidays are. So, in case you're not entirely convinced of the benefits that early preparedness brings, let's take a look at the 10 reasons to start Christmas planning early. | What are the chances? We can't predict the future, but we can plan for it. But why does this even matter? Meet some ordinary people thinking about these things. | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones. Let me know if I can be of help to someone you know or care about. We can make a difference to lives when it matters most.

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. | | | Gladys Soon, Financial Consultant During the short 4 months working with Kenneth, he has been an amazing mentor. Given the tough industry, Kenneth had played an integral role in getting me to find my footing. With his guidance, I managed to place a much more firm footing in here as compared to my other peers.
Kenneth has always made himself available and has taken great interest in my trajectory into this industry. Under Kenneth's mentorship, I have seen growth in myself, even beyond my professional capabilities. His ardent support has me feel that it was the best decision to join Opulence to have the opportunity to be mentored by Kenneth. | | | Sarifah Hasliza, Teacher Where do I actually start?
Kenneth is an amazing agent with great character and he is definitely trustworthy. He has been with us close to 20 years. From handling just my individual portfolio, to handling my whole family (of 6) insurance portfolio.
He is always there whenever I needed advice. Never once did he ignore my calls/texts. He even makes home visits whenever we need to to update our policies.
I’ve recommended him to my sister and cousins. They were impressed by his personalised & thorough presentation and switched to Prudential. I must mention that Kenneth is never pushy and always gives us space & time to consider his proposal. | | | Richard Lee, CEO, Aalst Chocolate
Trustworthy and sincere. Kenneth has been helping to plan for my family plans for more than 10 years. Happy to see his team expand and with his guidance, I am sure many will benefit from his wealth of experience. He is also a good public speaker and has spoke at my company events. | | | Priscilla Chew, Senior Financial Consultant "A leader is a person who takes a little more than his share of blame and a little less than his share of credit." Kenneth lives by this principle more than many others.
I first met Kenneth, a little more than 3 years back. He came across as a straightforward and focused director. At that moment, I knew I have much more to learn from him.
Being in the business for over 20 years, he has met many different kinds of individuals. He has a unique communication style, knowing that words transform emotions and lead to breakthroughs. His decisiveness carries the team, that does not mean he makes easy decisions. He makes what's right even in tough times.
If one have ever engaged in a conversation with Kenneth, one must have sensed quickly his confidence and clear visions. He is fully focused on helping the team achieve their personal goals, even if it means sacrificing his time. Kenneth is a yes man to his mentees, not because he says yes to everything, but because he couldn't turn a blind eye to his team.
Being a good speaker with his language fluency helped me discover that public speaking is a skill I enjoyed very much, and he is an example to follow.
In my almost 3 years with Kenneth, I have enjoyed learning from him as my mentor, upgrading my skills and putting my strengths to use. He listens before he speaks, which many of us would have wanted from a leader.
He has played a big role and attribution to my achievements and helped me vision who I want to be, who I could be and discovering my identity.
In today's fast paced market, Kenneth is constantly looking for innovative ideas and finding the X factor. It was never a dull moment to learn new things from him.
If you are looking for a leader that is no-nonsense, honest and focused on helping you achieve your goals, walk up to Kenneth and start the conversation. | | | Xaye Lee, Teacher I know Kenneth in 2001 when I bought my very First insurance from him. Being new to the workforce, I am overwhelmed with the different products in the market. He patiently explains everything in layman's term to aid my understanding. Since then, I will only go to him for my every insurance needs.
In 2001.. he is a black haired young man full of zest and passion. Now, he is already a NOT so young white haired uncle! But the Zest and passion remains!
Kenneth is just like a "life buoy"- coming to my "rescue" at the darkest and lowest moments in my life..
Thank you Kenneth! For always being so willing to going beyond your call of duty to help! | | | | |
