I Am Not Good Enough

Published in commemoration of PropNex’s 25th anniversary, I Am Not Good Enough is more than a biography or corporate history book. It is an award-winning entrepreneur’s candid take on what it entails to successfully build an organisation. 

Top of that is being decisive and accountable, qualities which Ismail reinforces through multiple anecdotes, conveyed in his signature down-to-earth voice. 

Also rich in leadership tips and self-enrichment takeaways, and with a foreword by the President of Singapore, Mr. Tharman Shanmugaratnam, the page-turner is an honest, heartfelt and at times humorous account of this Singaporean property’s icon’s inspiring life.

Ismail Gafoor is the Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of PropNex, Singapore’s largest listed real estate agency. Breaking free from the humblest of beginnings, he went from delivering newspapers at the break of dawn, to becoming an officer in the army. 

The mettle he developed from these early experiences formed the firm foundation upon which he grew a business – one that not only revolutionised the way the industry operated, but also introduced professionalism and integrity to it. In doing so, millions of clients have found their dream homes.
