Happy New Year to all from Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi School!  あけましておめでとうございます - スミス英会話塚口校から皆様へ 

You are here: Home / Blog / Happy New Year to all from Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi School!  あけましておめでとうございます - スミス英会話塚口校から皆様へ 

Last year was a great year for me and my wife and this year promises to be another great one. Last year we  bought our first investment property, a used house . It is currently being reformed and should be ready to rent out by the end of this month! Last Sunday, we went to see what has been done so far. It was fun and we are excited. I am very proud of this investment.  I  look forward to continuing to work as a team with my wife towards achieving financial freedom, allowing me and my wife to one day be free to do whatever we want with our time. A very big thank you to Mark Smith, who helped make this happen. Mark, we really appreciate you mentoring us and your help. Thanks a million!

Looking at my schedule for this week at my school, Smith’s School of English Tsukaguchi School, I see that I have 2 trial lessons scheduled. Great!

All the best this year to you all!

<あけましておめでとうございます - スミス英会話塚口校から皆様へ> 2009年1月12日(月)

昨年は私と妻にとって大変良い年でしたが、今年もまた良い年になりそうです。 昨年、私たち夫婦が投資目的で初めて購入our first investment propertyした中古住宅のリフォームが今月
末に完成しそうなのです! 完成すれば、遂に、誰かにその家を貸し出すことができます。 先週の日曜日、私たちはそのリフォームの進み具合を見に行きました。 その日はとても楽しくワクワクする休日になりました。 私は自分ながら、良くやった!と思います。 経済的基盤を固め、そしていつか何でも自分たちの好きなことを好きな時に出来きたらいいなと思いながら、これからも妻と二人で力を合わせて頑張っていくのはとても楽しみなことです。 投資事業に目を向けさせてくれたスミス英会話の社長であるマーク・スミスにお礼を言いたいです。 マーク!私たち夫婦は、投資事業の手ほどきをしてくれた貴方にとても感謝しています。 本当にありがとう!
私の本来の仕事であるスミス英会話塚口校の来週の予定表にも、もう2人の新しい生徒さんの体験レッスンの申し込みが組まれています。 スゴイ! がんばります!
今年もみなさんが幸せでありますように!

    Please be sure to make a youtube so we can take a look at your investment property. It must be exciting. Hoping to join you there in the near future.

    Derek,

    Good luck with all that. I’d love to follow in your footsteps someday, so please take notes and share them with me later! No point reinventing the wheel…
