Let's Talk About Realty

How many times has a colleague or friend mentioned a “difficult to imagine” opportunity, an industry to invest in, a project to back, and you hesitated? Someone talks about putting money into a particular sector for future gains; you nod, you stall… then the moment passes. Does that sound familiar? Life is full of these moments. You reassure yourself that next time you will jump in. But then again, you blink. Reassurances are comforting, but they do not move money, and they do not build wealth. You have heard the phrase, “You need to spend money to make money.” It is true, however, no future investment is risk-free, even property. So, when is the best time to buy? When is the best time to sell? That is the real question. Right now, in Zimbabwe, we are seeing a surge in cluster and townhouse developments. But it is crucial to understand not all developments are equal. That is a thought borrowed from  Animal Farm  by George Orwell: “All animals are equal, but some animals are mo...

When someone asks, “What do you do?” most people think of a job title or whatever brings in money. But the real question is deeper: What do you do consistently? Because doing something once is easy. Doing it well, every day, is where greatness is built. You already know I love my sports, so let’s talk LeBron James. You may have heard of him. One of his most underrated records is his streak of scoring 10+ points in 1,297 consecutive games . That’s nearly 18 years of showing up, performing, refining, and refusing to drop below his standard. That’s not just talent. That’s discipline. That’s consistency. And that’s exactly what real estate demands. Real estate often feels like stepping into the unknown. There are no shortcuts, no cheat codes, no overnight success stories. Everyone who has made it will tell you the same thing: consistency beats intensity . LeBron didn’t skip steps. He managed his body, studied the game, and competed against the best in the world every single nig...

As a lover of all things tech, I’ve noticed a curious pattern that speaks volumes about how we value protection, investment, and expertise. Someone saves up for months to buy the latest smartphone. It’s sleek, powerful, and full of potential. But what happens next? They rush to buy the cheapest case they can find, a $2 plastic shell that barely fits, barely protects, and barely honours the value of what it holds. They feel satisfied. The device is “protected.” But is it really? Now let’s zoom out. Let’s talk about real estate.  The Parallel That Hits Home You’ve worked hard. You’ve saved. You’re ready to enter the property market, maybe to buy your first home, invest in a rental, or secure a family legacy. But then comes the decision: Do I hire a registered agent or go it alone? You tell yourself, “Agents are too expensive.” So, you find someone who’s cheaper. Someone who says all the right things. Someone who feels like a shortcut. That’s your $2 case. ⚠️ What ...

New beginnings are scary. They’re thrilling, yes, but they also ask us to close chapters we once thought were permanent. They demand courage, not just to start, but to let go. And letting go isn’t always dramatic; it’s often quiet, personal, and deeply emotional. For me, writing has always been a passion. It’s how I process, persuade, and connect. It’s the thread that’s stitched meaning into my work, my relationships, and my reflections. That’s not ending. But something new is beginning. I’m adding a voice to the page, a literal one. We’re starting a podcast. Now, almost anyone can start one. That’s true. But here’s my argument: my worldview isn’t a carbon copy of the next person’s. It’s shaped by stories, scars, and strategies that deserve to be heard. I’ve spent years negotiating, storytelling, and listening. And if I can share what I know, and my partner brings their own lens to the table, I believe we’ll find an audience that resonates. Still, it’s scary. It feels like we’re steppi...

Every morning, the alarm rings. We rise, dress, and step into the rhythm of routine. But beneath the surface of this daily choreography lies a deeper question—one we rarely ask aloud: Why do I go to work? Why do I do what I do? Some answer quickly: “I work for my family.” “I must provide for those who depend on me.” These are noble truths—anchors of responsibility and love. Others say, “I love what I do.” But let us be honest: that answer is rare. And yet, it is the one that transforms obligation into inspiration. So how do we get there? How do we move from  must  to  meaning ? It’s Not Just About the Money We’ve all seen it people earning well, yet feeling hollow. And others earning modestly, yet radiating joy. Clearly, fulfillment isn’t found in the paycheck alone. It’s found in  mastery , in becoming good at what you do.  The Power of Progress Think back to a time you tried something unfamiliar. It was awkward. Frustrating. You weren’t p...
