NineThirtyFA.

Why am I starting a website now?
I have been in the Independent Financial Advisory line for 2.5 years now. For the past years, I have acquired clients mainly through cold calling but I realised that it simply was not fast enough. I want to reach a bigger crowd at a faster pace – to share the little financial facts and tips that I come across as a financial consultant. To share some of the life lessons that I learnt from my own clients & mentors- because in this line, you really see/hear quite a bit.
Also, I see my financial advisory career as more than just a Job. I see it as my business and this is simply part of my effort to better engage and service my clients & friends.

well, and most importantly, i think I will really enjoy this!

Why NineThirtyFA?

I struggled to think of a name and I swear it’s tough. I want to keep it relevant and easy for people to remember and I want to retain ‘FA’ in the name -FA for Financial Advice (please don’t judge my lack of creativity). However, nothing seems to go well with it.. Seriously – littleFAfacts, FaJotter, FAnote, SGFA?!? My business marketing background did not help one bit.
After a few tortuous days, I went back to basics. My intention was to update this space in the morning, and this is what NineThirtyFA means. Financial Advice at NineThirty a.m., every other day.

What will be available on this website?

For a start, it would mainly be about personal finance and the intention is to get people to think about their personal finance.
I believe there is a fine line between Money & Personal Finance – Most people only think of the former and a result, they fail to plan. This is because of their belief that they do not have enough money to. However, it is really the other way round- when we fail to plan, we fail to grow our wealth.

I believe that if we make better life choices and become better users (of money), the rest will fall into place. And we always have a choice to make it better.

At a later stage, I would also be writing about other topics such as businesses and real estate or (more likely) inviting business owners/experts in other fields to contribute their stories.
This blog is really in its infant stage and I would be thrilled to hear your suggestions to improve this. Similarly, if you have a burning financial topic that you would like to know more about, do drop me a note below.

Cheers and enjoy!
