Why is it that some of us reach those career milestones somewhat effortlessly whilst others struggle for years trying to make a go of it. The answer - Mindset. This post shares the particular challenge I had when I transitioned from Seller’s Agent to Buyer’s Agent and what I needed to do in order to make it a long-term success.

The social media sugar hit you get from a good brag-post can be intoxicating but are we doing unrepairable damage to our personal brand just to feel a fleeting moment of validation? This post explores ways we as agents can better position ourselves online to strike the right balance between brag and genuine humble success.

They say real estate is one of the most competitive industries in the world of business. I’ll admit, I’ve witnessed the bitchiness, the underhanded play, the backstabbing. But does it really have to be this way? It is only when we learn to focus on our own game that we can progress to new heights of self-satisfaction in our career journey.

Are you afraid of losing momentum if you take time off? We all know prioritising our health is essential but for me, the thought of putting my career in second place was a non-option - until I was forced to. This is a story about the impact of taking a whole two months off real estate.

Finding clarity in your career is no easy task. For me (and most professionals) it is a never ending journey of self-discovery and reflection. Learning to accept the things you do like, and those you don’t, and then having the courage to course-correct where you need to in order to find that state of flow can take years. This is how I realised I’d been playing the wrong side of the real estate fence for way too long.

I wasn’t always the sure, confident person you see today. It took a combination of setbacks, introspection, therapy and true self-awareness to really come into myself as a woman who knew what she stood for and what she wanted.

When I’m searching for a client’s Dream Home, a pool is often high on the wish list, BUT, when it comes to buying an investment property, I’m the first to strike out a property with a pool. This post describes why, and identifies other Red Flags in properties you should steer clear of.

Shifting from Scarce to Abundance is not easy when you’ve grown up middle-class. The 6 principles I share in this post not only helped me re-shape my money mindset, but paved the way for me to reach my childhood goal of becoming a self-made millionaire.

As a 5 ft woman of asian descent, I accepted I was always going to have a target placed on my head for mistreatment, bullying and condescending behaviour in the workplace, and so it came as no surprise when men in the industry “tried it on” as I like to put it. Here’s how I learned to manage it.

Can we really have it all? There’s no denying that career obsessed humans face the constant struggle of balancing the work act versus the family one, and in a world where professional accomplishment seems to be valued above successful child rearing, are we really forced to choose one or the other?

When I was 19, I was fortunate to meet a man who became one of my greatest mentors in property. In this post I share one critical piece of advice he gave me that led to one of the best buying decisions I’ve ever made.

Do we do it for money or something else? Whenever the question of Why is raised, we have our rehearsed response and then we have our real reason. Or perhaps our Why is a combination of both? Admittedly, money is often the one that is left off the table for socially acceptable reasons but should we be shaming others if that really is their driving Why?

Moving house is undoubtedly a stressful time in one’s life. The physical toll is one thing but the unexpected emotional rollercoaster ride is what catches many women off guard - myself included. This is what I learned after one very painful move. Read the story of the Cauliflower House and how I made sure my next move was never the same.

Going out on your own is scary. The self-doubt. The inner critic that silently whispers to you at 3am - “am I even good enough to do this?” And then there’s the money stuff. Will you live the rest of your life wondering what could have been if fear hadn’t got in the way? Because that is what all of this really boils down to. Getting comfortable with that 4-letter word that seems to hold so much power over us.

As driven, ambitious women, we want to do it all - and we can. But at what expense? There are no more excuses. I’m giving you the roadmap you need to keep burn-out at bay - and you can do it in a day for less than $100... (No $5K, 3 day wellness intervention retreat required).

The decision to work under a franchise or go out one your own as an independent agent will heavily determine the course of your career as an agent. Before you make the life-changing choice, consider your options carefully. There are pros and cons on both sides of the fence and this post will explain how I came to make my decision (3 times).

For as long as business has been around, we have been benchmarking our view of success in direct correlation with how much we earn. The more we make, the more successful we are considered. Yes, there is truth in this, but as independent women we must create our own personal reference points for what success means to us. Because success can be anything you want it to be.
