All my life, I wanted to be successful. Success meant different things at different points in my life. When I was younger, success meant getting good grades. In high school, success meant getting into a good college. In college, success meant getting a good job after college. And when I graduated from pharmacy school, success meant becoming a pharmacy manager. After I became a pharmacy manager at Walgreens, success meant moving up the corporate ladder. However, I realized I was miserable at my 9-5 job despite my awesome salary and bonus. I was tied down to management and all of the duties associated with it including attending meetings, checking emails, participating in conference calls, and everything else. And it eventually occurred to me that I didn't want to deal with the pressures of upper management anymore. Therefore, I stepped down from management in order to pursue real estate investing with my fiancée and father. I find the deals; my fiancée designs them; and my father, who is a general contractor, rehabs them. My pursuit of real estate investing has really brought our family together and we use it as an excuse, if you will, to spend more time with each other.
My WHY is my family!
