Millionaire Is The Mission
I lost everything, the feeling that my life isn't going to be successful hurts. I know I have the skill of persuading, so I feel Real Estate would be a good Bridge career for me. Agent or broker as the first step??? Millionaire is the goal.

Welcome to BP, Trey.
I started over after a divorce, she cleaned me out, I surpassed your goal, but I can tell you that having money as your goal is not the way to carry on. Ofcourse I was aware of bucket fulls of money rolling in, but I really tried to ignore that aspect which kept me focused to continue and trying to make all kinds of deal happen, for the love of the deal, assisting others getting problems solved and changing lives. Putting the money first is a mistake, do good and work hard and it will come! Chin up man, this is a new day and the rest of your life! Good luck
