Discover The Proven Self-Employed Path That Uni Students Are Using To Make Money While Studying (With Mentorship)

Hi, I'm Ian!

3x MDRT Achiever · Financial Advisor · Student Career Mentor

I didn't take the most conventional route into financial advisory. From EM3 in primary school, to Normal Technical, ITE, SP, and eventually NUS Business School, my journey was never about having the easiest path. It was about proving that with the right environment, discipline, and belief, your starting point doesn't have to define your ceiling.

I first stepped into financial advisory while I was still in university, driven by the need to earn an income, support myself, and reduce the financial burden on my family, all while balancing school and my own growth. What started as a flexible way to earn eventually became something much bigger.

Today I'm a Million Dollar Round Table achiever, a recognised benchmark for excellence in the global financial advisory industry. I also published my own investment book, The Independent Investor, while still studying, a reflection of my belief that financial knowledge should be made more accessible, practical, and empowering.

But what drives me isn't just the awards, titles, or business milestones. It's the belief that financial advisory can be done with integrity, heart, and real substance. Having seen the stigma surrounding this industry, I'm committed to raising the standard, serving clients as both an advisor and a friend, and mentoring like-minded people who want to build a meaningful career without compromising their values.

As a career mentor, I work with people who are ambitious, coachable, and hungry for growth, especially those who know they're capable of more but haven't yet found the right platform, guidance, or belief system to bring it out. My mission is simple: to build advisors who clients can trust, families can rely on, and the industry can be proud of.
