I want to succeed in Real Estate.

Wow.. it had been 10 days since I last update my blog. I went for 2 viewings yesterday, one condo at serangoon and another at Yishun. Both are rental and open listings from Owners.

Subsequently, I met up with my best friend(Yongyu) for dinner. We were discussing about how to work in the near future. Thoughts of clinching the deal was constantly on my mind throughout the whole night, but how shall I do it?? How do I get more exlcusive deals?? I was wondering how do people in my division do it? There are too many questions. Only through experience and through the hard way then I can know. And of course, I want to learn as much as possible from those who are very successful in my division. I hope I will get my chance soon!

Econmetrics for Finance (Exam 23th Oct 2009)

Today is Tuesday, I am left with 3 more days for exam. I was still rather confused after attending classes on last Fri, Sat & Sun. I need to buck up now to read the thick textbook and understand the topics that were being covered by the Professor.

The professor was from Israel, she is a rather polite, gentle lady in the mid-thirties I guessed. Kinda like her behaviour and the way she speaks. I like lady with such characteristics and of course, with great knowledge. hehe..

Looking forward to my next class and of course, the exams!! =)

Read a Book by Anthony Robbins (Notes from a friend)

I had been idling around for the past few days and because of that, I told myself I have to do something useful today.

I took out the book written by Anthony Robbins and started to read. It was kinda of a motivational book and it took me nearly 3 hours to finish it.

It was a thin book but with great knowledge!

There are a few good pointers:

1. Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be opened to you.
2. what you had done in the past does not determine your future.
3. You are the master of your fate; you are the captain of our soul. It's up to you. Don't wait to set your goals. Start turning your freighter now; because up ahead, just a short distance away, is your future.
4. Before something happens in the world, it must first happen in your mind.
5. Winning starts with begining.

I am motivated now! haha..

Motivation to keep one going.

To be professional, you need to have ample knowlege in the profession you are doing. Sometimes, even years of experience are not enough. Constantly going for self-development and training courses are the ways to improve your knowledge.

Right now, I am trying to gain new knowledge in the real estate industry. I also know the beginning of this journey is tough but I am willing to take the challenge and prove everyone including myself that I can do it.

JUST DO IT! No risk no gain, no guts no glory! Nothing can stop me!

First attempt for TP test on 1st Oct 2009

I got my class 2B license 2 days ago. It started on 0715hrs that day, and the test ended around 1100hrs. Waiting for my class 2B Traffic Police Test results was one of the most anxious moment that I ever had.

There were more than 90 candidates waiting in the same classroom for the results. The testors read out the results one by one without any number sequence (Gosh!, my no. was 19). My heart skipped a bit as the numbers were being called one by one! However, excitement and nervousness ended after around 20 minutes. Sign of relief for everyone, I was delighted to have passed and felt a great sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.

Below are my records for class 2B lessons:

Enrolement date: 30/06/2009
Theoretical Lessons: Theory 1, 2, 3 & 4 (all on the same day 2th July 2009)
100 mins each.
Riding Theory Test: 31/07/2009 (1 attempt)
Traffic Police Test: 01/10/2009 (1 attempt passed)

Practical 1:
04/07/2009 & 06/07/2009 (2 attempts)
Practical 2:
09/07/2009 & 12/07/2009 (2 attempts)
Practical 3 part 1:
14/07/2009 (1 attempt)
Practical 3 part 2:
16/07/2009 (1 attempt)
Circuit Revision:
16/07/2009 (1 attempt)
Practical 4:
(Circuit Test): 18/07/2009 & 18/07/2009 (2 attempts on the same day.)
Practical 5:
06/08/2009 ( 1 attempt)
Practical 6:
10/08/2009 (1 attempt)
Practical 7:
14/08/2009 & 15/08/2009 (2 attempts)
Circuit Revision (TP Test):
21/08/2009 & 29/09/2009 & 30/09/2009 (2 attempts on the same day) (Total 4 attempts for circuit revision for Traffic Police Test)

Based on the records above, it took me nearly 8 weeks to complete all the practicals and theory lessons to wait for the Traffic Police Test (from 30/06/2009 to 15/08/2009). I guess this was one of the best and fastest records that I could achieve (a challenge for myself to get a license in the shortest duration). i.e 3 months to get a License. =)

Currently I am dreaming to own the below bike. Please see the pictures below:



(Pictures of Yamaha YZF R-15 FIAT design cost around 7.1k on the road without insurance)

Love the design and specifications of this bike. I will get "you" soon!

Is just a matter of choice.

I went to hersing hub at Toa Payoh a few days ago (28th Sept 2009) as I was inspired by my elder brother who managed to excel in just a few months at ERA real estate Pte Ltd.

There was a so called "meeting" at 10am in the morning, however I felt it was kinda of networking and sharing sessions between all the agents from that particular division known as Preeminent Division. I also heard this division is one of the best in sales yearly.

I observed all the agents, there are nothing special about them except for the particular one or two of them. They are not very highly educated nor they are very good in their communication or presentation skills. why is it that they are so successful? It kept me pondering for the whole day.

Why does pple with a Bachelor or Master Degree earn lesser than those agents? Is not that they are very talented or smart. I just felt that they chose the right path and they were willing to take risk to take up a job with no fixed income. Generally, lots of pple are risk-adversed and that is the issue with this group of pple.

I felt that all human beings have almost the same qualities, however, you have to be very determined to make things happen. You must endure to the very end, if you have the important qualities as stated, you are able to succeed in whatever you do. Determination, motivation, endurance, knowledge and high EQ are the keys to success.

I am going to take a first step into this line and make my dreams come true. I shall give an update of my progress in 3 months time.

Just REMEMBER, think carefully before you make a choice in your career because it will affect the rest of your life!
