𝗠𝘆𝘁𝗵 𝘃𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝙈𝙮𝙩𝙝 When you relocate or change careers, you’re starting all over again. 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 You’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from strength. Do not make the mistake of underestimating your value even if others may. Every skill, setback, and success from your past experience becomes part of your foundation. Thriving as an international professional is less about starting anew and more about: 🌿 Recognising your transferable strengths. 🌿 Seeking mentorship and community. 🌿 Staying rooted in purpose, not just performance. You bring much value with your unique story, your journey, your resilience. That’s your superpower. #CareerGrowth #InternationalProfessionals #LifelongLearning #ProfessionalResilience #7DaysLinkedInPowerUpChallengeWithHaoma #20DayLinkedInChallengeWithHaoma

🚗 One road trip... countless revelations about business development strategies. Ever thought a spontaneous road trip could redefine your business vision? I hadn’t—until a sun-soaked weekend away changed my entire approach to business development. The Open Road Experience The plan was simple: take a break from routine. Little did I know, this journey would become a masterclass in business strategy. As the miles unrolled, so did my thought process about networking and growth. On the road, I noticed parallels between driving and business strategies: 1. Know Your Destination but Enjoy the Ride — Setting an end goal is vital, but pay attention to what you discover during the journey. The unexpected detours and scenic routes made me think of exploring diverse opportunities, rather than sticking to a rigid plan. 2. Fuel Up for Success — Just as vehicles need fuel, your team needs resources and motivation. Take time to ensure your team is equipped with the right tools and encouragement. A quick stop along the highway fueled ideas on how I could better support my team back at the office. Applying Road Wisdom to Business After the trip, I got back with fresh perspectives: - Be Flexible: Rigidity can stifle innovation. Allow room for your team to explore varying paths and discover new methods. - Leverage Milestones: Celebrate small wins along the way. They are your motivation boosts. Practical Steps for Your Road to Success 1. Weekly Check-ins: Like map checks on a road trip, keep weekly checks with your team to ensure everyone is aligned and motivated. 2. Explore Alternatives: Encourage creative thinking sessions to brainstorm alternative paths to achieve goals. 3. Reflect and Refuel: Take regular breaks to recharge and reflect on the path taken so far. A fresh pair of eyes often finds better routes. This trip wasn’t just about switching off; it was about tuning into what matters. 📢 What unexpected event inspired a significant change in your professional life? #BusinessDevelopment #TeamBuilding #Leadership #Inspiration #GrowthMindset

In my experience, culture crushes strategy every day. But you need both to succeed. Founders who forget about core values and focus exclusively on revenue often run into problems in areas like brand loyalty. Talent acquisition and customer retention become much harder when people don’t have a compelling reason to believe in your business. https://lnkd.in/gcfiM7ki

💬 Real estate isn’t a sprint — it’s a marathon. When many new agents join the industry, they’re full of energy and ambition, eager to make a name for themselves overnight. But over the years, I’ve learned that true success comes from those who take the time to learn, build trust, and grow step by step. Recently, two of Australia’s top agents shared six rookie mistakes that I think every newcomer should reflect on 👇 1️⃣ Jumping in alone instead of learning from an experienced mentor. 2️⃣ Getting overconfident after a few listings. 3️⃣ Lacking in-depth market and property knowledge. 4️⃣ Focusing on short-term wins instead of long-term relationships. 5️⃣ Treating clients like transactions, not people. 6️⃣ Failing to specialise and spreading yourself too thin. At Plus Agency, we always remind our team: Real estate rewards patience, learning, and consistency. Every great agent you see today once started as a learner — what sets them apart is their persistence to keep improving. That’s why I’m proud that Plus is more than a company — it’s a place where people can learn, grow, and build lasting careers. From mentorship and training to real teamwork, we make sure every agent has the right foundation to go far. #Leadership #RealEstate #PeterLi #PlusAgency #GrowthMindset #Mentorship #SydneyRealEstate #CareerDevelopment

🚇 Two Windows, Two Seats, Same Metro… A while back, I found myself on a metro ride — same train, same city, same view as someone sitting right next to me. We both looked out the window, watching the same streets and buildings pass by. But there was one subtle difference: our destinations were not the same. 💼 It hit me — this is exactly like corporate life. In my early days at Frequent Research, I worked alongside talented colleagues. We attended the same meetings, contributed to similar projects, even shared the same client calls. Yet, some were content following the routine, while I focused on strategic growth, learning every nuance of the field, and building relationships beyond the immediate tasks. That focus shaped my journey, my opportunities, and the path I’m on today. Same metro, same view — but different destinations. ✨ The lesson? It’s not just about where you are today or who’s beside you — it’s about where you’re heading and the intention behind every move. So, as you plan your next move — career, project, or personal growth — ask yourself: 👉 Am I just riding the metro, or am I moving toward my destination? #CareerGrowth #Leadership #MindsetMatters #ProfessionalDevelopment #PurposeDriven #CorporateWisdom #GrowthJourney #Motivation #LifeLessons #Businessdevelopment #Genz #aesthetic

Life often takes us on unexpected journeys, and Daryl Mcavena’s voyage from the world of sports to logistics exemplifies this truth. Originally, his passion was firmly rooted in the fitness and sporting industry, backed by a degree in sports administration. However, a shift in circumstances at the city of Calgary, heading towards privatisation, prompted a career rethink. This is when he found himself unexpectedly entering the realm of freight, transportation, and logistics. Starting from the ground level, working in warehouses was initially a means to an end, paying the bills while learning a new trade. But this experience soon revealed a latent knack for creating order, streamlining operations, and crafting strategic solutions. What can others learn from his journey? Here are some key insights: 1. Embrace the Unplanned: When career paths take unexpected turns, embrace them as opportunities for growth rather than setbacks. It’s in these moments that hidden talents and new skills emerge. 2. Leverage Existing Skills: The planning and competitive nature of sports management mirrored the strategic needs in logistics. Find parallels between your past experiences and your new challenges to bridge the gap innovatively. 3. Cultivate Adaptability: In a world where change is constant, adaptability is key. Re-evaluating and adjusting your career direction can lead to rewarding and unforeseen successes. 4. Opportunity in Every Situation: The skills you discover in one field can often be transferred to another, leading to unique solutions and perspectives. This can make you invaluable to employers and shed new light on organisational challenges. 5. Focus on Creating Value: Whether building a team or innovating processes, aim to create a tangible impact. This not only enhances organisational performance but also solidifies your reputation as a resourceful professional. #YYCBusiness #WorkplaceCulture #MentalHealthAtWork #Leadership #FlourishingWorkplace #BusinessWithPurpose #MentalFitness #EmployeeWellbeing #CultureChange #VulnerabilityAtWork #ThriveAtWork #PerformanceFreightManagement

MISTAKES COST YOU. MISSED OPPORTUNITIES COST EVEN MORE. The problem? You often don’t even see them. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s why the fastest way to grow is simple: 👉 Avoid mistakes. 👉 Bring the right people around you. 👉 Capture opportunities before they pass you by. Sometimes, all it takes is someone else looking at your business differently and connecting the dots you’ve been missing. Don’t just protect what you’ve got — set yourself up to climb the next set of stairs in your business. #ResvitaMovement #MissedOpportunities #TradieWisdom #Core9 #BusinessGrowth #TradeBusiness #CaptureTheOpportunity #ResvitaWay #SmartMoves #WorkSmarter
