So far so good...

 

It's been 7 months since I've landed, probably 8th month now but whatever. I left RE/MAX and joined another project marketing company which didn't quite end well. I mean, we are still all friends and I don't see any strain in any business relationship, but you know, things just wear you out when you keep changing jobs and employers. It ended well, but it didn't end well, for me. 

 

Anyway, I have started my own practice which is good, and I get all that freedom to do what I love with a flexible time schedule. I've got a mentor who gives me direction and if he treats me well, I'm gonna stay as long as I can. 

 

Victor has left to the Gong one month now and he loves it there. His company is fun. He enjoys what he does. His company is sending him to developers' conference in Melb. He is living it up! That's really good for him. Look how the tables have turned in a different place- and I'm really happy for him. That's one of the reasons we came. It's for both of us to be happy. 

 

Well, if left up to me, I'd rather he be earning  heaps and I can be an investor-homemaker mum. Just doing purchasing, renovating, flipping, renting- keeping up on conveyancers, tradies, tenants, it's just cool to me, you know. I'm a property nerd. And the only thing keeping me from that is EXPERIENCE. From my past, I have seen so many issues in my portfolio that if you'd ask me if I'd buy a HDB or a high end condo in the philippines NOW, I'd say NO NO NO! I crunch the numbers and it's true. I screwed up. Well, they say everything appreciates with time- But my lifetime is finite, mate. We're just rectifying a hot water system for our unit in Queanby and the process is a hassle. 

 

I just wanna gain experience and build up a property business here in Australia, and then take the next step whenever I'm ready. I'm more focused in building the foundation and network rather than making money, you know. Money will come naturally. 

 

Oh, and the kid part- I love kids but I just can't bring myself to commit on anything as of now. I guess it's a kind of fear. Fear of family drama yada yada.

 

I'm thankful for my planning. Not many people understand the value of long term planning and I seriously urge everyone to have a 1 year, 5 year plan, a 10 year plan, a retirement plan, and keep reviewing it every year. Keep yourself on track or have a partner who genuinely cares, to keep you in check. 

 

And I'm thankful for my husband, my housemates and all the good things and opportunities that come my way. So far so good!
