Hi there everyone,
Well, I've finally done it - I've given my corporate boss notice of my resignation. Working as the GM for a software company that sells to the legal industry has been interesting, but I've had enough of it. (Selling software that enables law firms to bill an additional 4% in fees per year is exciting for only so long). As from Monday the 3rd of September, I'll be out of the IT industry, and will no longer be an 'employee' of one organisation.
I will now be able to devote all my time to the industry I love, and will be actively involved in property and property investment - full time…woohoo! I will be working in many facets of PI, including:
· negotiating with developers/vendors on below FMV property acquisitions.
· negotiating with developers to secure marketing rights to carefully selected property developments.
· Making good property investment deals available to the general public, as well as graduates of various investment courses.
· building, and working with, a network of good real estate agents, valuers, accountants, finance brokers, financial planners, lawyers and quantity surveyors. After all, it's who you know and who is on your team that can make a huge difference in your PI/business successes.
I will not be affiliated exclusively with any one organisation, and will remain as objective as I have ever been. However, I have agreed to contract my services to certain companies that have approached me. One of these is Property Investor Services. I see several major benefits in this. Firstly, PIS is a licensed organisation. So, I can do what I do without constantly being reminded that I need to be licensed. Secondly, PIS is probably the most reputable of all such companies in Melbourne. The last thing I want is for my credibility to suffer because of the company I associate with. Thirdly, they have many contacts and good relationships with key people in the industry, which is very important to me.
This vocational change does not mean I'm out of the 'rat race' yet. However, it will give me the opportunity to greatly improve my skills, knowledge, contacts and exposure to investment opportunities, enabling me to exit the rat race far sooner. Furthermore, it will help me to help others to achieve the same goal. I have always been willing to share whatever information has been asked of me....and this will allow me to do this even more from now on.
I'd love to remain an active contributor on this forum. Since my first login in May this year, I have learned so much. I am grateful to so many of you for the wealth of knowledge you've shared. Hopefully, I've been able to return the favour to some of you in some small way...even if it was in the form of an occasional cringe at some of my posts. *grins* Plus, it's great fun in here...you'd be surprised the number of times I burst into laughter over the antics I read about in these posts and in the chat room.
I am happy to continue with MPINet, as long as there is a demand for it. I have also indicated to TW my willingness to be a part of the Freestyler Groups she's organising. This is a fantastic idea and I don't think many of us realize yet just how much we will all benefit from this. I’d urge anyone who hasn’t already, to indicate their participation in the cities in which they live. I see tremendous value in these activities, and would love to be involved in any capacity (even as furniture ) as long as people want me to be.
I will continue to remain accessible to those of you who have been emailing me and phoning me. My mobile number will not change – 0416 054 499. I will post my new email details as soon as I myself know them.
Some of you may be thinking, "Who cares what you’re doing?". Maybe so, but many of you in here are now my friends and I really wanted to let you know what I’m doing and how excited I am about the journey I'm about to embark on.
Thanks for reading my waffle.
Cheers,
Dave
