Submission AbstractI was originally planning to go straight into the Wall Street life in New York out of college. After interviewing and receiving job offers, I did a bit of soul searching (as much as is possible for a 20-year-old) and realized that the corporate ladder was not for me. I would much rather put the same work ethic into building my own brand and business.
My parents have both been entrepreneurs since I was born. My father is a chiropractor and has owned his own practice for 30 years. My mother, although she passed when I was 18, was an entrepreneur all her life, and one of her last acts was to become a real estate agent with Berkshire Hathaway in Pennsylvania. That was a huge factor in my decision to dive into the world of real estate, and I could not speak to why I decided to obtain my license without mentioning their influence. And it has been the best decision I have made to this point.
