Founder and CEO @ Kompas | Leading the way towards simplified property management

Challenging the status quo will always be met with skepticism.   Throughout the past year, I have spoken about what we are building at Kompas with countless amount of people across the real estate ecosystem. Generally, I am met with the following initial skepticism:   🤨 Wow! That sounds like a very ambitious project 🤨 Wait, are you really trying to compete with giants in the space that have been dominating for the past 30+ years? 🤨 Seems like there are a lot of uphill challenges you are going to be facing! At first, this skepticism created a ton of self-doubt and fear of failure. Perhaps I was I in over my head? Maybe I had bit off more than I could chew? Then something shifted. While my team and I continued to show up each day working on our mission, one by one, the skeptics started reaching out to get updates. Only they were no longer skeptics. They became believers, they became customers, and they became advocates.   See – here’s what they didn’t know when we first met: Before you can change the world, you need to change your own life. I took the risk and challenged the status quo for me and my business at Gestion Lameer Inc.. The results speak for themselves. Others may not have been ready for the disruption because they had not seen it been done before. But that’s all about to change. We are launching in 35 days, and we are confident that we will continue to turn skeptics into believers all across the industry. 🚀 #proptech #realestate #multifamily #cre #startup #changetheworld #challengethestatusquo

The sentence I hate the most is: « because it has always been done this way. » I love the growth mindset Corry. But what I love the most is that you’re talking from a client’s perspective. You lived those challenges, you meet people in the industry, you know what are the pain points everyone is struggling with, and that is priceless. The entrepreneurial world is a rollercoaster 🎢 somedays we’re more doubtful than others. You’re highlighting the important aspect of remembering why we started the adventure to begin with. Remember all these people that are waiting for the solution you’re building. Keep it up, my friend! 🙌🏼

Your journey is truly inspiring! It's fascinating to see how skepticism can transform into advocacy through persistence. What key strategies do you believe were pivotal in winning over those initial skeptics? On a different note, I'd love to connect and share insights! Feel free to send me a request.
