A terrifying experience in the US was the momentum Randall How needed to change his life, and led to him changing the lives of others.
What’s your story?
A near death experience in United States when I was threatened at gunpoint changed my perspective in life.
Having studied Food Science as my diploma I didn’t expect to take the leap into real estate. I was dealing with renovations in United States.
I naturally transitioned to be a realtor after coming back to Singapore. After a few years in the industry, I bought a private condo which was a little different from my parents advice of getting government housing.
What excites you most about your industry?
Being able to be an advisor to many families on their journey to grow their wealth by upgrading from a HDB to a Condo with a sum of reserves.
Being able to transform more lives is part of my journey.
What drives you in business to push beyond what other people consider normal?
Seeing the joy of my clients when they follow my advice and are able to upgrade to better properties through my sharing.
What have been the most useful skills you have learnt and applied in your journey?
Learning how to use my signature 2/3 method to help myself in my own property journey; and sharing the knowledge with my clients on how they could also follow in my footsteps.
What’s the best piece of advice you ever received?
Treat each client as though they are your friend and also build long term friendships along the way.
This advice has allowed me to feel a sense of purpose in my career as my clients embark on their own individual property journey.
Who inspires you?
Kelvin Fong. He is always giving without expecting much in return and also is an inspiration to what I’m aiming for.
What have you learnt recently that blew you away?
Buyers are committing to properties without properly planning their finances and having a strong reserve.
I learnt more during training and lessons about how having a strong reserve fund will matter in times of crisis.
If you had your time again, what would you do differently?
Embark on my masterclass creation earlier as I would have been able to help more people if I started early.
How do you unwind?
I spend quality time with family, enjoying a meal together without the worry of work.
Going on holiday as well.
What is a major mindset change, belief shift or ‘ah ha’ moment that you’ve experienced in relation to your business?
The biggest ah ha moment was when I learnt that giving without expecting anything in return actually yields the most results.
Everyone in business should read this book:
Sell it like Serhant by Ryan Serhant, as it gives a lot of life lessons that we can apply in our careers.
Shameless plug for your business:
Taking due care, ensuring that I plan out my clients property portfolio as though I’m the one going to be purchasing. Such that I’m able to protect my clients interest first.
