In early 20s, I kind of fell into it. I went to school for accounting for a year, and one of my friends, a guy friend of mine, his wife was working at a mortgage company, and he said, "You know how to do numbers, right? She's looking for a processor. You know, is this a thing?" And I was... "Come work at a mortgage company." I was like, literally, "What is mortgage?" I didn't even know what that word meant, then I was like, "Sure." Within two months of being there, I took over her role as the manager, uh, managing that office. And within a year, uh, of me just doing loans and seeing what kind of commission the loan officers were making, I replaced myself with somebody else and I just took out full commission and did that for many years. In 2006, I opened my own mortgage brokerage. Not the greatest timing, 'cause 2008 the housing market crashed. Everybody I know lost everything that they had. Coming from a family that never had anything, so I thought I'd made it. I was a little naive, but I thought, "Ooh, I only have to do this for about five years, then I can just get out." Anyways, lost everything. When I got back into the business, I only had $250 to my name. And within five years, I had taken over the role as the top producer in my company, and also had became a millionaire within that five years from $250. That's how I made it to my first million-dollar situation. I realized that money comes from the things that you enjoy without stressing you out doing it. And you don't have to do mortgage to do it. There's a lot easier ways to make big money that people just are unaware of.
