Lim Shiqing
Prudential Financial Services Director
Shiqing graduated from NUS in 2003 and decided to take a path less traveled. She entered the financial planning industry at the age of 22 and was quickly promoted to Master Financial Consultant at age of 26.
Today, she is a Senior Financial Services Manager. Shiqing believes in working professionally with her clients but values the long-lasting relationships she has built over the years.
How do you define success?
To me success is about happiness and fulfilment. To be fulfilled it means to be able to reach the peak in all the 7 areas of our life. The 7 areas are Health, relationship, spiritual, personal development, finances, service, career.
What are some of the challenges you faced? How did you overcome it?
I am by nature a shy and quiet girl. Interacting with too many people in a day saps my energy. Thus, in a career where part of our success is determined by how many people we know, it was initially challenging for me. However I decided to take the road less travelled and challenged myself. My thoughts were, what is there to lose? Even if I decided that this is really not for me, I would have learned and become a better version of myself. In a blink of an eye, it’s been 18 years!
What do you think is the secret to success in this career?
I believe there is no secret formula, ultimately it’s about attitude and gratitude. The attitude towards our work or clients is important.
Be willing to work hard, learn and stay humble. And because there are bound to be bad days, learning to be grateful for the small little things in our lives gives me the motivation to keep going.
