We are taught to follow the crowd from a young age; from wearing a school uniform to fitting into a nine-to-five profession, there are endless ways that we are encouraged to conform. According to leading real estate investor Fernanda Splitter, there are pros and cons to rejecting conformity and following the unknown path by going solo early in your career.
Having achieved a successful career in the modelling business from a young age, Fernanda Splitter understands what it takes to invest in yourself and carve your own path. Her modelling career brought her worldwide recognition and success at an age when many people are often only just deciding on their career paths. She shares that a huge advantage of striking out on your own early as she did, is that it allows you to build a solid foundation for future success. Fernanda explains that when she decided to follow her passion for real estate investment and interior design, she had already developed the essential skills needed to be self-sufficient and build a business from the ground up. She explains, “If you set off early on your own path, then no matter what direction it takes, you will build up enough experience and resilience to overcome anything.”
As positive as going solo early in your career can be, Fernanda Splitter also shares that setting out on your own path at an early age does come with some disadvantages. She explains that it can be difficult to convince others to trust in your abilities and vision when you are younger and newer to an industry. She says, “Youth can deter certain investors and industry leaders from realizing your talent as your young age can make them doubt your wisdom and experience.”
Brazilian-born Fernanda Splitter is now based in NYC, where she has established herself as a notable name in the world of real estate. With a passion for transforming properties into homes and building solid foundations for lasting futures, Fernanda believes that real estate has the power to change lives, and it is a power that she is fully invested in.
Going solo from an early age can make or break your career, but Fernanda Splitter believes it is often a risk worth taking.
