Ready? Buckled in? Let’s go!

From the time I was 14, my Mom always owned her own business and I worked for her after school, during the summer break and on weekends. She was the Owner-and-Director of a non-profit organization that worked with at-risk youth providing job training, tutoring, mentoring, etc. I was an instructor/mentor from very early on.

When I grew older and went to college, I gained more advanced mentoring skills, and I would bring back what I learned and teach others in our community at the non-profit in the Los Angeles/Compton, CA area.

But the economy changed, the “government funding” grants diminished, and we had to look for another avenue. That is when my aunt, Victoria, introduced me to Real Estate.

She suggested that I become a Real Estate Broker. Since I had my MBA, I didn’t have to complete the minimum amount of hours – I only had to pass the exam!

Well – I’m an expert at acing exams – so that was no problem! Soon after, everyone in our office – became real estate agents. Excited and armed with our shiny licenses, we joined the World Leadership Group. Being good at what we do, we were all very successful, making good money, traveling the world and living the life!

In less than a year, we went from over $100k/year to less than $20k a year. My Mom, yes, the ultimate entrepreneur of the group, tried to create our Plan B and looked at mortgages. But when she found out she had to pass an exam, she balked.

She tried TWICE and failed and that’s when she called me, in tears, sobbing her heart out on the phone about passing an exam. Since clearing exams is my superpower, I stepped in, took the exam and got my MLO license.

I realized I have a gift – teaching others how to take the exam too.

When the NMLS made passing the exam mandatory, I knew I had to share this gift with everyone, with YOU.
