My Family drives me so much. Family is most important and that is not just a saying. My dad wakes up every day at 4:30am to work and provided for my family. My mother taught me to be a man of values, morals, ethics, and discipline. My inspiration comes from them and now that I am older, it is my turn to provide for them. My greatest achievement so far has been my successes in my business to now have the ability to care and provide for my family.

Focus on one thing. I cannot tell you how many people come to me and say they want to join the real estate industry and do so many other things as well. You will not be successful in everything. Choose one thing and focus!
