About the Author

This book is about paying it forward. Having embarked on a remarkable entrepreneurial journey in the financial services industry since 2012, Edmund Tan, a Financial Services Director (FSD), aspires to inspire others to achieve their greatest dreams in life. This is akin to a burning flame, the light that helps others see, igniting the fire within them. In Aspire to Inspire, the author carefully compiles and documents his over-a-decade experience as a practitioner and leader in the advisory industry. It comprises three major parts with 20 easy-to-read, succinct and broad-ranging chapters, covering essential topics such as stewarding clients’ needs, wealth and legacy, and the self-mastery of one’s mind, craft and goals. For readers looking for insights, ingenuity and practical techniques in sales, or ways to become their better “me”, the book presents a treasure trove of wisdom and inspiration. “Now, it is my calling to pay it forward and assist many others who have faced challenges in this advisory career – to overcome and pursue their dreams,” affirms Edmund.
“Determined, driven and undaunted, Edmund will give his best to achieve or even surpass his set goals. This explains his numerous achievements, including the Top New Financial Services Associate Director (2021) and the Court of the Table titles. It is admirable of him to share so generously his experiences and sales ideas in this book.”
