10 YEARS!!! 🤯
Day 2 of celebrating 10 years in real estate!
MY FIRST TWO TEACHERS · MOM AND DAD ❤️
Today is about two of the most important people in my life.
My mom and dad. Tracy and Steve
My mom taught me how to love people.
My dad taught me how to work.
And I can’t think of two better lessons.
My parents have been self employed since 1989, so I grew up watching firsthand what it takes to run a business. The long hours, sacrifices, stress, and everything in between.
My dad is the hardest working person I’ve ever known. We can stay up until 1AM working on race cars, just like we’ve done my entire life and even did this past week, and he’ll still be up and out the door before the sun comes up.
That man doesn’t have an off switch 😂
One of my favorite memories was when I decided to go ALL IN on real estate, at the end of 2020.
I was leaving the security of working for American Airlines to become completely self employed.
At the time, I didn’t have anything, so I really wasn’t risking much. But man, it sure felt like I was 😂
I’ll never forget telling my mom.
She started crying.
She knew this was what I was supposed to do, but she also knew exactly what it would take.
She begged me not to give up the guaranteed paychecks, insurance, retirement, and everything else that came with having a steady job.
If you know me, then you know this just confirmed this was exactly what I was about to do 😂🤦🏻♂️
Looking back, I understand those tears a whole lot more today than I did back then.
She knew the sacrifices ahead of me because she and Dad had lived them for decades.
Mom and Dad, I love y’all so much.
Thank you for teaching me how to love people, work hard, and have the courage to chase something bigger.
So much of who I am today is because of the two of you.
And I’m forever grateful God chose y’all to be my parents ❤️
