Selling a property at the right time. I bought an investment property during the financial crisis at a good price. Over nine years the value appreciation was great, and I sold it just before Covid.Life is short and you’re not guaranteed a tomorrow. “You’ve got this” — there’s no need for so much anxiety and pressure to have it all figured out so early in life.
Was there ever a point at which you wanted to trade it all in for a different career? And if so, what would that career be? In my job I have an opportunity to make a difference. Not just with my immediate team but for our clients. But if I were to change careers, my other passion is sports. It plays such a critical role in communities and the development of children. The biggest challenge, in my opinion, is in connection with not holding people accountable for performance and ensuring competence in all roles.
