PERSISTENCE OVER TALENT.
PERSISTENCE OVER TALENT.
From learning to survive as a migrant child in Sydney to rebuilding through business failure, financial loss, and long-term property investing.
"No one is coming
to save me."
There was a moment — broken, in debt, watching everything collapse — when Franky realised the only way forward was through. No safety net. No family wealth. No second chances handed to him. Only the relentless will to survive, to rebuild, and to prove that persistence outlasts talent every single time.
A migrant’s story of grit, loss, rebuilding, and the decision to keep going.

A Migrant’s Story of Grit, Loss, and Starting Over
A raw, honest and deeply personal memoir about migration, childhood, failure, debt, the GFC, sales, investing, crypto losses, and the relentless pursuit of a better life.
This is not a get-rich-quick story. It’s the story of an underdog who refused to quit.
The Numbers
The Man Behind the Story
Franky Tjhin arrived in Australia as a migrant with little more than ambition and the relentless drive to build something from nothing. What followed was neither linear nor easy.
Through financial hardship, business setbacks, and the kind of personal losses that would break most people, Franky forged a different mindset — one rooted in long-term thinking, disciplined investing, and the belief that persistence outlasts talent in every arena.
Today, he is the founder of Plus Notable, a premier Sydney real estate agency that has transacted over $1.5 billion in residential sales, while simultaneously building an 8-figure personal property portfolio.
His debut book, PERSISTENCE, is a rare window into the reality behind success — the cost, the scars, and the unshakeable conviction that drove him forward.
What Franky Speaks To
Long-term property strategies built over decades, not months.
Building businesses with no safety net and no blueprint.
The art of influence, trust, and building lasting client relationships.
Why losing everything can be the foundation of real wealth.
The hunger, grit, and perspective that immigrants carry into business.
Compounding patience, discipline, and strategic asset accumulation.
Readers Say
"Franky's story shattered every excuse I had for not pushing further. His journey from nothing to an 8-figure portfolio is proof that mindset is the only real asset that matters."
