Are you tired doing things that you hate or not doing enough of the things that you are passionate about?
I know for me it all started when I enterered corporate America as a CPA in 2005.
Bright eyed and busy tailed, I was ecstatic of just being able to get a job - and a high paying one at that.
I was over the moon - until I realized that the life I had created by working so hard in college, was NOTHING like what I pictured in my head.
I felt trapped going to work everyday - I felt completely unfufilled with the work I was doing - and by the time I got home every day, I barely had enough hours to prepare for the next day ahead.
Sure - I had weekends off(half of the time), but every Sunday I dreaded going to sleep and waking up to a life that I wasn't passionate about.
"There had to be a better way", I thought.
Soon after, I picked up a copy of the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki and it completely changed my mindset on how money worked - and my life trajectory.
Rather than focusing on making money at a job - I focused on buying assets that gave me positive cash flow.
While I had no money to start, I learned the ins and outs of creative financing, partnered up with some of the right people, and built equity and cash flow along the way.
I started out slow, but over time(and as I invested in my education and got more experience), my assets and my passive monthly cash flow grew larger and larger.
5 years into my journey, I had enough passive income to float all of my living expenses, quit my corporate job - and pursue my passion - which luckily for me happens to be real estate investing.
Since then, I've grown a real estate company that fixes and flips over 100 homes per year, a real estate brokerage that has over 300 agents all while growing my passive income portfolio year after year.
The key is that I stay busy because I like what I do - not because I have to. I now have 4 kids and as you can imagine - a very active home life.
While I am very busy with my business, I've never missed one dance recital, baseball game, school open house - or really anything that I've wanted to do.
I've never had to ask for a day off or wonder if I can pull off extending a vacation with my family.
And I've never had to live frugally - I own two beautiful homes, nice cars(including a sports car and am the proud owner of two mini vans).
I say all of this not to brag, but to express my enthusiastic results that I have acheived by investing in passive income real estate.
The best part is - there’s nothing special about me.
