Conversation With Monika Tu: The Founder and Director of Black Diamondz Property Concierge & Philanthropist | Part One

Monika perceived her life as a journey, with giving back always at the core of her values—instilled in her from an early upbringing. Born in 1962, she grew up in a politically tumultuous era, a time of cultural renovation in China marked by school shutdowns and material scarcity. Yet, despite these external hardships , the unconditional love of her family became her solid rock. Today, Monika thrives on the global stage—an ultimate testament to the conviction that the sky is the limit. It was her family’s emotional safety net that set her up for an extraordinary life trajectory. She is inherently a joyful person and an avatar of energy. She truly upholds her powerful mentality: “No complaints, no comparisons, no playing the victim” , while embracing whatever comes her way and makes the most of it. She further emphasized:“Focus on what I can take from my past and present to build into a beautiful future."

She never set limits on herself. From China to Australia, from IT to real estate, she was always willing to start over and step into uncharted territory—a mastery spirit in its own right.  Fifteen years of hard work culminated in the building of her first business empire in IT. Another fifteen years carved out her path as a real estate mogul. To this day, she still works relentlessly, never stopping. Her success isn’t the result of a golden touch but rather an alchemical journey rooted in hard work, honesty and intelligence.

Monika’s Advice for Aspiring Entrepreneurs 

1. The Impression You Make on People Matters-Showing genuine care and being kind are things everyone can do, but not everyone is willing to do. 2. Work with People Better Than You-You need to collaborate with experts and professionals to fill in your own gaps. My intelligence lies in assembling a team of experts and professionals to achieve success. 3: We are not trying to compete with others; we are trying to be different-Personal branding is key. You must understand your uniqueness to carve out your niche market. 4: You have to keep an open mind and be willing to learn. Managing your emotions and not being ruled by your ego is often the hardest part. 

We further tap into the deep “why” that underpins her entire pursuit—her core value of giving back. For Monika, giving means giving love, money and time. This core value has fueled her through different stages of life—from wealth-building to integrating philanthropy into her mission. It also became her anchor during moments of industry toxicity and betrayal, when the thought of giving up once crept into her mind. But it was her husband's empowering words that fundamentally reshaped her mindset: "Remember, your initial vision is to give back. You’re not just selling people a piece of property—you’re helping them settle into a community and build a life here. If you give without expecting anything in return, you will be blessed by God. Embrace what you have; if you don’t have it, you don’t deserve it.”

Monika said, “My story is about staying true to my roots, working hard, and setting a goal—one that goes beyond just material success.  She invites everyone to engage in deep introspection with a thought-provoking question: "Imagine you have everything in the world—all the money, success, and status you desire—what’s next?" She believes that the "what’s next" must tie into one’s ultimate goal, Monika added: “I know my ultimate goal—to give and to serve—will never go wrong. That’s why I can always persevere, no matter what challenges or difficulties arise in my life."
