Once trapped in the relentless grind of a demanding job, I found myself at a crossroads, faced with the reality of my situation. One pivotal moment would become the spark igniting and fueling my determination to change my life.

It was a never-ending cycle of work, stress and more work – I was the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of an Amazon ranking company. However, this job required relentless dedication, often demanding work even on holidays. It began to consume my life, taking away precious moments with my family, forcing me to be on my phone or computer, even on vacation. 

As I struggled through every day, I began looking into real estate as a way to make extra money, hoping to one day have financial freedom, allowing me to quit. However, everything changed the day my pay was suddenly cut in half – the lack of appreciation for my tireless efforts cut deep. I had traded my happiness for money, hoping to build financial security for my family, and now, even that was gone. How much longer can I compromise my happiness for someone else’s benefit?

It was back in July of 2017 that my family's financial stability shattered. John and I were in a motorcycle accident, leaving us both unable to work for several months. Just weeks earlier, my son received surgery in order to treat his thyroid cancer. Our lives were thrown into turmoil as we grappled with his illness and the aftermath of the accident. We struggled to take care of each other and relied on the kindness of friends and family to help us through.

This difficult period left us in a precarious situation, with medical bills piling up and each of our recoveries requiring significant time and effort. The accident left us financially strained. When I was finally able to work again, I knew it would take an immense amount of effort to pay off the debt we had accumulated.

It became my mission to provide for my family and ensure that we never had to endure the same financial struggles we faced during those challenging times. The physical consequences of the accident didn't compare to the lasting mental toll.

The pressures I felt led me to work incredibly hard to make up lost time, hoping to dig us out of the hole we were in and ensure we never had financial struggles again. Amidst the chaos and stress I felt in my work life, I knew the pace I was going was not sustainable. My job demanded too much, and I would one day need to find a healthier balance. A coworker suggested I try real estate to help compensate my income and maybe, with time, create a full-time career for myself.

I had just dipped my toes into the world of real estate when my boss cut my pay in half while significantly increasing my workload. This was the moment when I decided I had had enough. I deserved better. I quit my job, not allowing myself to be trapped in a situation that didn't align with my goals and priorities. I jumped right into real estate, determined to build a career for myself.

In less than six months, I had not only matched but exceeded my previous salary. I found myself thriving in real estate, driven to help people and make a difference. Real estate provided me with the freedom I yearned for and allowed me to put my family first. This was a life-changing decision, one that I wished I had made sooner.

Now, I have more time to be there for my family. Real estate gave me the freedom to build a career I loved and the financial stability I had longed for. In this new chapter of my life, I discovered that with determination and the right support, you can overcome adversity and create a future filled with possibilities.
