Looking back on my 7 years in Real Estate, I never imagined I would have success. I decided to get my real estate license during a very rocky period in my life just to make extra money as a Single mom to 2 daughters. What I found is that God has a way of guiding you into your purpose!
I wasn’t looking to become a top producer or co-owner of @nolahomerealtygroup. But I’m finding that success is NOT just for me. It is to show other people what is possible. For my daughter @alanialexisss and niece @kiarajmd_ who became Realtors after watching me. And my daughter, @leahnic0le who is working on getting her real estate license.
It is for other People in Real Estate. It is to show other Single moms that you can be an awesome Mom and a Badass Businesswoman. It is to Empower other women. For those who have made some mistakes and still trying to figure out their way.
I was all those things and still became a successful Businesswoman! Circumstances do not define you. Keep Pushing & Defeat the Odds.
