These are the other things I want to achieve now
Personal Finance
During my free time, I am making efforts to educate myself on all aspects of personal finance including investment management, which to me, necessitates a deeper understanding of sector-specific tendencies and trends. Be it CPF, BCIPs, NFTs, ETFs, or gold, there is so much to uncover and to really understand. Being responsible in investing to me and my family means being able to construct and adjust diversified private portfolios that meets our sustainability and core requirements. This has been an ongoing challenge to myself since 2020.
Wellness
Quite simply, I have a personal goal to be healthier. In my third decade of life, I find myself beginning many new and exciting aspects of being me, of being alive. It has become apparent that there is a need to maintain a cleaner diet, cut back on weight, and improve my overall mental health. It means working out more consistently, putting in cardio work, cutting back on red meats, less alcohol, mindful rest, better quality down time, and more sleep. I am challenging myself to be healthier, physically and mentally.
Social Ventures
I have set the goal to set up new, meaningful ventures that each provide an aspect of social good. I leverage the success of existing businesses and young professional leaders in my build. My latest ventures is a private members' club that provides members with financial and holistic wellness services while also simplifying the process of donating. Upon profitability, the club will match every dollar of donation, doubling the social good effect.
