Quotes -
“My very first sale was working with two different languages and trying to translate and understand what I’m doing and what they’re needing, and kinda tying all that in.”

“I knew that I didn’t want to stick with apartments. I wanted to go for houses. I’ve always been interested in touring houses, and I kinda just enjoy that.”

“My whole mindset towards life and towards work shifted. And I was like if I could get into a job that I would enjoy that’s flexible and that I’m not feeling bad if I have to take a day off of work [...] like real estate.”

“Don’t let fear hold you back from anything.”

“One thing that really drives me is showing them how to live a life that you enjoy and not to be bound to the typical stresses of life, like money.”

“Nobody’s going to reach the ceiling of their potential within their comfort zone. You might reach a level of success, but you’re never gonna reach the life of freedom if you don’t get outside your comfort zone.”

“Limits like fear are just often an illusion.”

“In real estate, you can carve whatever life you want for yourself if you can see it and start taking action towards it.”

“Real estate gives you freedom in so many ways.”
