$7000 SUCCESS! The Official Start to My Successful REI CAREER!
REF 13029
This is the first business of ~7 I created since 2006 where I did the work and brought in a substantial profit... This gets me all emotional and stuff ha
I'm trying not to do cartwheels at my work office and jump on desks shouting with pure joy, tell my boss $40k isn't more than I'm worth, and tell my family that I'm not meant to be in a "normal job" all my life! Entrepreneurship is in my blood and God has used each failure as a stepping stone in my life.
The comment people have said to me all my life, "History shows you're not going to do it/finish it/succeed at it." is no longer applicable. This transaction establishes the time when history no longer repeated itself! I feel like painting my face and going all Braveheart up in here!
I can't tell you how much I appreciate the help from the BiggerPockets community. I would hug you all right now if I could... Shout out to my homies Joshua Dorkin and Brandon Turner!
I am so excited about the continued business, relationships, and opportunities to give back God will present me in the future!
(I can't wait to share this with the wife!)
I had a previous picture just showing the amount I was assigned, but thought to myself,"What are you doing Taylor?"
I think it's important to share with you what my balance was prior... For those who are out there to realize that it's all about THE HUSTLE! Get out of from living paycheck to paycheck!

What a great story and a fun read too! Congratulations and keep it up. Once you get things moving it will only get better for you if you stay focused and keep hustling!

Man, this is why I love BP so much! Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments! I wish we could have a party... *Lightbulb* We have a meetup group in Indy. How cool would that be to celebrate new comers first deals with a party once a month recognizing their accomplishments? I think I'm going to implement that. (We'll skip my party, but I would love to celebrate somebody else's!)

Thank you sir =) I couldn't be more pumped up! BiggerPockets was a primary influence in re-framing my mindset, the acquisition of knowledge, and motivation I needed to make this deal happen. Another BP success story, but this is only the cover page!
