Two years in property advisory: Here’s what I’ve learnt. Two years ago, I made the ‘pivot’ (love that word) from small business owner in hospitality, navigating the chaos of Covid, to stepping into the world of property advisory. Earlier this month, I officially celebrated two years at Titanium Property Investment & Titanium Food, though I technically started back in 2022 as a contractor. Reflecting on this milestone, here are some lessons I’ve picked up along the way - And some that surprised me: 🔀Almost ALL skills are transferable. From negotiation, marketing, legal, finance and even design, the skills I thought I’d leave behind have been the ones I use the most. Nothing you learn goes to waste. 👥“Soft skills” are anything but soft. Whether it’s running a café or leasing a waterfront venue, it all comes down to people, listening, understanding their needs, and connecting. ☕️Not everyone drinks five coffees a day. And there are even some people who don’t drink coffee at all! This still surprises me every time i ask that one particular person in the office, “Coffee?”. 🤔Curiosity is a superpower. There’s nothing you can’t learn if you’re willing to investigate, ask questions and stay open to the answers. ♟️Strategy is everything. Big or small, every project needs a clear plan. Start with the data, build a strategy, and the rest falls into place. 📊Consultants really, really, love PowerPoint. Enough said. The last two+ years have been full of challenges, like closing my businesses after Covid, AND incredible opportunities, like getting qualified in real estate or working on bringing multi million dollar F&B projects to market. And even negotiating what it means to be in a corporate environment. It’s taught me that growth doesn’t always follow the path you expect. It shows up in the challenges and opportunities you never saw coming.

We want to change the way people drink – for the better. This is why we promote responsible drinking and invest in education programmes to discourage the harmful use of alcohol. It is great to see the progress we've made as an industry in reducing alcohol related harm in the past decade, and this will continue to be a priority as we look ahead and build on this progress.

WOW, I know it’s LinkedIn but it’s a special moment to share. Isel Laguado, MPM and I both worked in the Cruise Idustry and as everyone knows our industry was dramatically hit due to Covid and 1,000’s of us were all laid off with a bleak future and so much uncertainty. I found myself with no job, no income, a single father with 2 children, times were tough and the light at the end of the tunnel was very distance. LinkedIn was my savior, my morning routine over coffee searching for employment opportunities, connecting with people, and that’s where I connected with Isel, we were both searching. She was a single mother with two children with the same challenges and struggles, We chatted, connected. encouraged each other to keep searching, sharing employment opportunity daily, and then I finally got the courage to say “hey let’s meet up” Well 4 years later we said “I do” on April 20th in a ceremony in Mexico City surrounded by family and friends celebrating our special day. We now both have amazing jobs back in the Crusie Industry that we both love and enjoy, are families are connected (blended 6) and we have never been happier. Thanks Linkedin for providing the hope and platform to motivate and inspire us to find work and connect with people when times are tough. Never loose hope, there is a light at the end of the tunnel and it’s shining so bright now for us and we could not be more thankful and happy. #cruiseindustry, #neverloosehope, #linkedin, #thankful, #stayfocused, #cruiseships, #cruiselife,
