Perspective

Risk or opportunity

October 23, 2018

It’s generally true in business that the same thing can be seen as a risk, or an opportunity. The trick is to find the perspective that allows you to see the potential.

There are many traditional risks in property. Here’s a few that I’m aware of.

Overcapitalising.
Buying the best house on the street.
Buying outside of the right school zone.
Buying with other people.

Now ask yourself: Where do I need to stand to see these as opportunities? How does my perspective need to shift?

Welcome to my little corner of the internet.

I believe that place matters.

Our connection to whatever little corner of the planet we find ourselves in, or choose to place ourselves on, matters.

I'm relentlessly curious and continually learning.

My interests are scattered across topics including property, strategy, acoustics, psychology, theology, systems theory, quantum physics and leadership. I read, listen, watch, and learn about whatever grabs my attention in the moment.

This is a learning experiment.

I come here to try to make sense of something I’ve come across, by writing about it.

I’m immersing myself in a new language.

I’m learning to speak Te Reo Māori, the language of the indigenous people of Aotearoa New Zealand and one of our official languages. After spending 2020 studying, I’m figuring out how to keep the journey going outside the classroom.
