I was born in Hoboken. 71 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,700 New Jersey, I was raised there. Well, I stayed there for six 72 00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:51,700 years and then my parents had a. We moved to Puerto Rico. 73 00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:55,500 That's what I was raised. I was there from 6 to 10 18 and 74 00:03:55,500 --> 00:03:59,300 then I moved to Charlotte, then I moved to Memphis and then I 75 00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:03,200 came to Jacksonville. In 1982, and then what happened 76 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:09,300 and I say to and 1982, maybe 84-84 14. 77 00:04:09,300 --> 00:04:13,800 I got married. And then I have Sandra my first 78 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,200 child. I was working for the bank and I 79 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,100 was doing a fashion merchandising degree in a 80 00:04:20,100 --> 00:04:24,700 finished in 1987, that was my first willing to want to do 81 00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:27,500 something besides being a mom, even though I love being a mom. 82 00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:31,300 But I wanted to finish that since I was I started it and I 83 00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:36,300 finished in 1987, my first two years Associates in that kind of 84 00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:39,700 stuff. Interesting, so you got, you got 85 00:04:39,700 --> 00:04:45,700 married to dad had three babies and worked on your degree, while 86 00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:48,500 you had your two children. And then I think that Elena was 87 00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:50,700 born in 89. Yes, so that was your first two 88 00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:52,600 and then you finished it up before your third, which is 89 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,500 pretty hard to do. I mean, as a Mom myself, I can't 90 00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:59,300 imagine trying to do school and have the kids and be all the 91 00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:02,600 other things that Had to do on top of trying to improve 92 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,000 yourself that stuff and especially from where you came 93 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,600 from. So I feel like, you know, really 94 00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:10,500 being honest with my guest, you came from Puerto Rico and it 95 00:05:10,500 --> 00:05:13,000 wasn't like you came over on a super nice flight. 96 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,600 No, it's class. The first class situation. 97 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,100 I mean, you Caden with just a suitcase? 98 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,300 Yes, I was going to say that I came with two suitcases. 99 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,400 Oh, I was that. Well, yeah, we're dramatic 100 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,100 yellow. And I had a brown dress. 101 00:05:28,100 --> 00:05:31,000 I would never forget that because I always Like fashion. 102 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,400 When I graduated from high school, I finished deck are not 103 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,900 sure if you remember what that is. 104 00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:40,400 But it's a business kind of track when you graduated from 105 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,500 high school and Decker program, yes in car. 106 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,300 And that's why I always like fashion. 107 00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:48,400 And I said, I'm going to match my dress with my suitcase, but I 108 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,200 did not have anything in my suitcase. 109 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,400 It was like, maybe five outfits. That's the best thing I could 110 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,000 NE. So you came over here from 111 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,800 Puerto Rico to the states, with, which they call, like Mainland. 112 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,600 Yes. Mainland and you literally had a 113 00:06:02,608 --> 00:06:05,500 suitcase with just five dresses and that was all your mom sent 114 00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:07,400 you live. Yeah, go with launch yourself. 115 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,300 Yes, that's pretty incredible mom. 116 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,700 Yeah, I mean again I think my listeners, you know, they can 117 00:06:12,700 --> 00:06:17,100 tell that I always fight for resiliency to to try to improve 118 00:06:17,100 --> 00:06:19,600 yourself to always be better. And I think a lot of that stems 119 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,700 from who you are and how you raised us in that mentality that 120 00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:25,500 you ingrained in all your children. 121 00:06:25,500 --> 00:06:29,000 Because I know that my mom and this is a joke, you know, for 122 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,100 all those that are listening You know, she raised me as a nurse 123 00:06:32,100 --> 00:06:34,500 practitioner to always get more education pursue. 124 00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:37,900 The highest level of everything that you could as a kid, she 125 00:06:37,900 --> 00:06:40,800 always dreamed that home. But then also you raise another 126 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:45,100 daughter who went off and became its, she said lawyer and Boston 127 00:06:45,100 --> 00:06:48,700 anniversary but he's not practicing as much as she is 128 00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:51,200 working with diversity and inclusion. 129 00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:54,300 You've got a son who also works on the exam, you know, the 130 00:06:54,300 --> 00:06:57,000 director level in a company. Yes, Anna. 131 00:06:57,300 --> 00:07:00,200 And he has his MBA so you've done a good job. 132 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,500 It kind of driving home that message to all your children to 133 00:07:03,500 --> 00:07:06,300 pursue education. Well, where does that come from? 134 00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:10,200 Well, my philosophy and this is that we have a lot of obstacles 135 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,800 in our life it can be our the way we look. 136 00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:19,500 It can be our speech or how we sound and those barriers that 137 00:07:19,500 --> 00:07:23,500 our society has. I think that education is one 138 00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:29,700 that you can seek without have anyone determine what is best 139 00:07:29,700 --> 00:07:31,700 for you. Or how are you going to go there 140 00:07:31,700 --> 00:07:34,600 to get it? If you apply yourself and go to 141 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:36,700 school and try to finish degrees? 142 00:07:36,700 --> 00:07:40,500 There are some people are, some of the people are easy for them. 143 00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:42,600 To get. Another ones is more difficult, 144 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,200 but if you can reach them because you have the ability, I 145 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:51,200 think that you should do better. So the doors will open for you 146 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:55,400 and you don't have excuses to say, well, this person did not 147 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,800 give me this or this person that I give me that. 148 00:07:57,900 --> 00:08:02,500 Well, if you have the education and Willingness to work in prove 149 00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:06,300 yourself, then I think no one's going to stop you from doing 150 00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:08,800 those things and know when the right thing I think one of the 151 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,800 things you always used to say growing up to us was that 152 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,200 education was something nobody could ever take away from you. 153 00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:16,900 Exactly and I think maybe it again, I'm correct me if I'm 154 00:08:16,900 --> 00:08:20,200 wrong but whenever you you know are born. 155 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,200 And I remember your aunt, my aunts you're one of eleven 156 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,900 correct? Yes, one of them is just so, you 157 00:08:25,900 --> 00:08:29,300 know, you're one of 11 and you're born with, you know, 158 00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:33,000 having to share a A lot and having to also see things kind 159 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,400 of come and go because you just don't have a lot of money as a 160 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,600 family, you know, you get this mentality that, you know. 161 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,799 Well, what can I have that? No one can take away. 162 00:08:42,900 --> 00:08:44,600 Exactly. And so, that's something. 163 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,200 I remember growing up a lot. You used to say that education. 164 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,400 Nobody could take from you. And so make sure to get that. 165 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,700 Because I think one of the things that I've seen and I've 166 00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:57,600 noticed as we've as a gotten older, is that education and how 167 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,100 you use your brain and how you work. 168 00:09:00,100 --> 00:09:03,400 Your Brain, I think determines how you do anything in life. 169 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,900 So what you really begin to see is not only do you cultivate the 170 00:09:06,900 --> 00:09:09,800 degrees, but you also cultivate the mindset of work. 171 00:09:09,900 --> 00:09:11,200 Yes. And so that part? 172 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,400 No one can ever take away with you away from you because you 173 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,600 can outwork most people even in your 60s that is still the case 174 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,400 that my mom can get out in the yard and out work. 175 00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:23,300 Most people in the yard, remember the guys that were 176 00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:26,100 doing me and yard work? We hired some guys to do yard 177 00:09:26,100 --> 00:09:29,900 work and I remember I came to check on you and I was coming by 178 00:09:29,900 --> 00:09:33,300 to see supervise whatever was going on and the these were 179 00:09:33,300 --> 00:09:37,700 young guys and they were like, what is up with your mother out 180 00:09:37,700 --> 00:09:41,100 in the field working? And I'm like, it's literally and 181 00:09:41,100 --> 00:09:44,200 grandmother, she can't stop. I'm never going to forget that. 182 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,400 Well, I do love to work and I do believe that some things people 183 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,400 cannot take away from you. If you have ability to do a job 184 00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:56,900 and a high level that is done correctly, for whatever it is, 185 00:09:56,900 --> 00:10:02,200 it can be for patients or it can be for Clients or it can be for 186 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:07,100 an organization like my son, he's director for Humana, he has 187 00:10:07,100 --> 00:10:12,200 to produce papers, or help to get lobbying, and that kind of 188 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,600 stuff that, that means, that he has to work. 189 00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:17,800 And produce things that I think there's a bottom line. 190 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,300 You want to be busy, creating things that can change the world 191 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,900 and be a place for, for better Improvement. 192 00:10:24,900 --> 00:10:26,100 Yeah. To make the world a better 193 00:10:26,100 --> 00:10:26,700 place. Yeah. 194 00:10:26,700 --> 00:10:28,200 But I like that. I like that. 195 00:10:28,500 --> 00:10:31,800 So, a lot of the women that listen To my podcast could be in 196 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,900 that exact situation. They have children. 197 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,200 They're trying to figure out like, okay, so I'm killing 198 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,900 myself at this nursing job. I'm exhausted. 199 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,900 I've got kids and I'm trying to create a side hustle gig and one 200 00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:47,000 of the side hustle gigs that you created. 201 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,700 You started to invest in real estate. 202 00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:53,100 Yes, I think that was something that you really set apart 203 00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:56,500 yourself from other siblings of yours. 204 00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:59,600 Other people in general because most people weren't doing what 205 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,000 you were doing. 30 40 years ago, where it's starting to rent, 206 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,000 properties, collect money from renters and that kind of thing. 207 00:11:06,300 --> 00:11:09,600 So, how did you kind of start off on this new path of a side? 208 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,000 Hustle? How did you come by to launch 209 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,800 that? Well, was a teacher for 23 210 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,400 years. If I'm not mistaken, I will sit 211 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,600 at my desk and I would say, oh my God, I'm making a thousand 212 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:26,900 dollars every year increase. I said, and I was thinking that 213 00:11:26,900 --> 00:11:29,700 is not a lot of money $1000 back then. 214 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,600 It was 35,000 a year 37. It was not really a lot of 215 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,800 money, but one day I decided I wanted to move to a better house 216 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,500 and I told my husband I want to rent this house. 217 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,100 I was scared to death. I was scared about going to the 218 00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:51,500 property your and I decided I said, oh Lord I'm doing the 219 00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:53,000 right thing. I don't know what I'm doing the 220 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:57,900 right thing and he says, well, clearly is like I'm talking to 221 00:11:57,900 --> 00:12:00,100 you, he said this house would never be empty. 222 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,300 In his faithfulness has been to that property is never been 223 00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:10,100 empty and it is we bought it in 79? 224 00:12:10,700 --> 00:12:14,400 No no 9797.

Exactly. 246 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,100 And I said, oh my God, this is not going to work, this is not 247 00:13:22,100 --> 00:13:26,300 going to work this, not work, but it worked because the money 248 00:13:26,300 --> 00:13:30,000 that I was making, I was invested in back into the house. 249 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,200 House they will pay in and I was paying that that was my first 250 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,600 paid house. Yeah. 251 00:13:35,700 --> 00:13:40,300 That that is how we got to have several other ones that they're 252 00:13:40,300 --> 00:13:43,700 already paid because we did not take our money and said we're 253 00:13:43,700 --> 00:13:47,000 going to go to a cruise so we're going to buy a better car even 254 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000 though I did have little Volkswagens. 255 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,500 Convertible Volkswagen so yes. You like you sound like you're 256 00:13:53,500 --> 00:13:58,600 driving, I know. Yeah yeah but it was a lot of 257 00:13:58,900 --> 00:14:03,500 the process has been A lot of fun challenging has taught me a 258 00:14:03,508 --> 00:14:08,700 lot about working and how to get it people that come in and do 259 00:14:08,700 --> 00:14:11,300 the work. I have worked with roofers 260 00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:16,100 contractors work with reporters, I did every model a brand-new 261 00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:19,900 you know, like it's kitchen and I change the the appliances, I 262 00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:23,600 Des, fleurs the carpet, I learned all of that while I was 263 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,800 teaching and I was looking at my thousand dollars every month 264 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,400 every year. Yeah. 265 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,800 And thinking Oh my God, this is not gonna break. 266 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,700 This is not gonna make it, and the maybe I did this, because I 267 00:14:34,708 --> 00:14:38,600 knew that, if I want to have my kids going to school or higher 268 00:14:38,700 --> 00:14:42,200 education, I needed a place for them to stay in. 269 00:14:42,900 --> 00:14:45,100 That's why, how all of this started? 270 00:14:45,100 --> 00:14:47,700 Yeah. So I think the the drive home 271 00:14:47,700 --> 00:14:49,700 message is that you did it scared. 272 00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:52,100 Right. Well, yeah, you know most people 273 00:14:52,100 --> 00:14:54,100 think like, oh, I could never do it. 274 00:14:54,100 --> 00:14:56,500 I just can't happen. You know, this is going to be 275 00:14:56,508 --> 00:15:00,000 taking a risk but what you began to see was it was risky. 276 00:15:00,500 --> 00:15:03,500 Looking at your small incremental raises every year 277 00:15:03,500 --> 00:15:06,500 and thinking, this can't be it. That seemed like more of a risk. 278 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,000 Yes, ooh, then really looking at, you know what, what if we 279 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,600 just throw our chips in and get a rental property and see what 280 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,300 we can do with this? And exactly, it's not like, at 281 00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:18,600 that very moment. It was a golden egg ticket that 282 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,400 you are able to know what the heck is that. 283 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,200 Everybody on cruises and do all this? 284 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,200 Yes, it was a slow grind. Yes, I remember going to 285 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,100 properties with you as a young kid and helping you do yard 286 00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:31,000 work. I mean you've Instilled, that in 287 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000 us from the time. We were very little to you chip 288 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,700 in as a family. You work. 289 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,700 We're all building the dream here, that's kind of that 290 00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:40,700 mentality. And I think it has a lot to do 291 00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:44,000 with how you grew up again for those that are listening and 292 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,000 hearing. Okay, so miss you know, month, 293 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,800 you know, Sanders mom came from money. 294 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,200 I'm telling you guys, she literally came with two 295 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,500 suitcases from Puerto Rico with a high school education. 296 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,400 And again, you did not have a lot of money to being one of 297 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:00,000 eleven. You grew up in like a tube. 298 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,700 Your home was that? Well, I know it was a little bit 299 00:16:02,700 --> 00:16:06,800 bigger than that, but I do have to say that my father, when we 300 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,000 were in New Jersey, he had a bodega that is a small store. 301 00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:15,800 He really was not afraid of doing the job that needed to be 302 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:20,000 done for a family of 11, but we had a bodega and that is mainly 303 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,900 why we left? We went back to Puerto Rico 304 00:16:22,900 --> 00:16:26,700 because it caught on fire and we lost everything. 305 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,900 And and that is when we decide to go back. 306 00:16:30,100 --> 00:16:35,900 Puerto Rico and he bat-line land and he would grow vegetables and 307 00:16:35,900 --> 00:16:41,000 had cows and he's kind of start. He went that direction even 308 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:45,100 though, you know, he wanted to be more as a business person, 309 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,200 but he didn't have the skills to do it. 310 00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:49,200 God. So you think that that's kind of 311 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,600 the spark of the entrepreneur? Yes, I think it is. 312 00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,200 Comes from watching your dad, do that entrepreneurial struggle. 313 00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:59,300 Yeah, then again I like to say there's a lot of my podcast that 314 00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:02,500 when you do things Scared and you have these ups and downs in 315 00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:04,599 life. It shows that you're alive. 316 00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:08,099 Exactly describe like, I ended up learning a lot through these 317 00:17:08,099 --> 00:17:12,599 processes and through unit, roofer problems and floor 318 00:17:12,599 --> 00:17:14,500 problem. Yeah, you know, how do we fix 319 00:17:14,500 --> 00:17:17,599 this and how do we, you know, manage the budget and how do we, 320 00:17:17,700 --> 00:17:20,500 you know, you didn't get a template, there were no courses 321 00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:23,599 back then know what to do. And so you just kind of trouble 322 00:17:23,599 --> 00:17:25,000 shot it. And did it scared? 323 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,800 And again I think that's a good lesson for those listening. 324 00:17:27,900 --> 00:17:30,000 Yes, I was going to First Baptist. 325 00:17:30,100 --> 00:17:34,600 Church downtown, Jacksonville. And I knew a lady did really, I 326 00:17:34,608 --> 00:17:36,500 cannot remember her name. I'm sorry. 327 00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:39,100 Not, you know, as you get older you forget people's names. 328 00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:43,700 But she had nine houses. I'm thinking, oh my God, nine 329 00:17:43,700 --> 00:17:46,500 houses, that is amazing. But how you doing it? 330 00:17:46,500 --> 00:17:50,200 She says, well, I am going to debt for them and I'm doing this 331 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,500 and doing that or whatever. And I said, I just don't feel 332 00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:57,400 comfortable, taking damn many and being in charge of that 333 00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,300 many, and people, and that kind of stuff. 334 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:04,600 I told her, I said, Start little by little and I remember when an 335 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:09,400 89 on, I cannot remember what exactly what year was the crash 336 00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:14,400 and she lost some of those houses because they couldn't 337 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,900 sell them. And I said, well, I think that 338 00:18:16,900 --> 00:18:18,200 I'm going to go this route better. 339 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,400 I'm going to get one at the time. 340 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,600 Slow by slow like the turtle and day. 341 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,600 I saw I was thinking as you were talking was a turtleneck. 342 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,800 Yeah. And then slow by slow. 343 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,000 I was trying to kind of turtle makes it. 344 00:18:30,100 --> 00:18:32,400 Yes. And that's exactly what I was 345 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,300 thinking. Yeah, no, it's true. 346 00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:37,200 It goes back. Like you're saying like you're 347 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,100 rushing to do things and you think it's going to be this 348 00:18:40,100 --> 00:18:45,500 quick fix and know kind of again perfected the overtime building 349 00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:49,100 slow building of the side household that turns into a 350 00:18:49,100 --> 00:18:52,200 full-grown Beast. Because I believe that that from 351 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,000 what I'm understanding, I got briefly about what you and Dad 352 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,400 have been able to build its enough to sustain a family which 353 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,900 is the ink the rental income. That you purchase from your 354 00:19:01,900 --> 00:19:05,100 properties. So again, it can be done for 355 00:19:05,100 --> 00:19:08,000 Mother's Day. What would you say for those 356 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,800 listening today is one of the things that you wish you would 357 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,400 have known at the start of becoming a mom that you would 358 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,800 have held onto, or you, say fold onto throughout your entire time 359 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,800 of being a mom in the struggle working to make things happen. 360 00:19:23,300 --> 00:19:25,600 You know, you are stay-at-home mom, and then you went to work 361 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,100 and you were working mom. And then now you're a working 362 00:19:28,100 --> 00:19:30,000 mom with the side hustle. What is something you wish. 363 00:19:30,100 --> 00:19:32,000 Wish you could have gone back to tell yourself that day, you got 364 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,800 off the plane from Puerto Rico, that you would have told that 365 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,800 girl to hold on to the rest of her life to be consistent and 366 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,700 not to waver. I think that when people waiver 367 00:19:40,700 --> 00:19:45,000 from their desires and their willingness to do, whatever they 368 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,200 want to do in life. And they take a detour that took 369 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,400 detour is going to take you longer to get there. 370 00:19:51,700 --> 00:19:56,600 But if you honestly look at your life and say, I am not going to 371 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,900 back down, I am going to keep in this direction. 372 00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:03,800 And and I'm going to work hard and I'm going to do whatever you 373 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,900 are at the end, you will make it. 374 00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:10,200 It can be a profession, a better, you know, a better job. 375 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:15,000 It can be a family, that's a healthy family and do not waver 376 00:20:15,100 --> 00:20:18,800 and your thoughts and your beliefs in a and you need to 377 00:20:18,808 --> 00:20:22,500 believe in a higher power, whatever that is, I think that 378 00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:25,700 it higher power. I think that is important 379 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,100 because we cannot make it by without it. 380 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,100 Yeah, I love this. You were talking about, makes me 381 00:20:31,100 --> 00:20:34,200 think of this quote, Success, is not always about greatness. 382 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:38,600 It's about consistency consistent hard work leads to 383 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,000 success. Greatness will come by Dwayne 384 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,900 Johnson. I mean that's just one quote, 385 00:20:42,900 --> 00:20:47,600 but I've heard it said multiple times that it is honestly about 386 00:20:47,700 --> 00:20:50,800 the consistency more so than the greatness and I think that 387 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,900 you've said it so well that that has been one thing that you and 388 00:20:53,900 --> 00:20:57,100 Dad have done, you know, consistently has been the 389 00:20:57,100 --> 00:21:01,000 showing up and that and they think that part is Over time. 390 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,400 People ask me, like, how did your parents do this? 391 00:21:03,700 --> 00:21:06,000 How did your parents create this portfolio? 392 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,900 And they have all this stuff? And I'm just like, honestly, I 393 00:21:08,900 --> 00:21:11,300 just think they just, they never stopped. 394 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,700 They just kept going. And so I think that's kind of 395 00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:14,700 the message. I think. 396 00:21:14,700 --> 00:21:17,100 Most people can, I think I want people to hear from today is 397 00:21:17,100 --> 00:21:20,000 just keep going, just keep pushing. 398 00:21:20,300 --> 00:21:23,300 Well, I didn't doesn't really matter what age I think is 399 00:21:23,300 --> 00:21:27,900 sometimes, you know, I went back to school at 63 taking some 400 00:21:27,900 --> 00:21:29,300 archive. Oh, yeah, that's right. 401 00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:31,500 You don't ever Stop. I mean what we're going to tell 402 00:21:31,500 --> 00:21:33,100 people about that. I mean, you're currently. 403 00:21:33,100 --> 00:21:35,500 So you retire to help me take care of Benjamin. 404 00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:38,500 I remember that.

You go back to school. 413 00:22:02,700 --> 00:22:04,900 Even in your 60s. And what are you pursuing right 414 00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:06,900 now? Well, I'm taking art classes. 415 00:22:07,100 --> 00:22:10,100 Yeah, I took a three-dimensional course. 416 00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:13,600 There are watery and pottery and painting. 417 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,800 Hey, it's never too late. That's a you keep going. 418 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,000 And the thing is about you keep going. 419 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:24,600 This kind of feels that your time and here on Earth is going 420 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,900 fast. But you enjoying the ride. 421 00:22:27,300 --> 00:22:31,400 It's not like you sitting and just And look at each other and 422 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,300 time is going to pass by might as well do something that you 423 00:22:35,300 --> 00:22:37,800 enjoy doing. And that is how I'm doing it. 424 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,300 Yeah, I think that's another thing. 425 00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:41,700 I would like to add to your story. 426 00:22:41,700 --> 00:22:43,700 Is that you've always been a lifelong learner. 427 00:22:43,700 --> 00:22:46,400 I mean, from the time that you stepped off the plane and you 428 00:22:46,408 --> 00:22:49,900 got to work and you've always just been pursuing something 429 00:22:49,900 --> 00:22:52,900 almost just like with a dog with a bone, you just won't let it 430 00:22:52,900 --> 00:22:55,400 go. And so I just remember you 431 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,500 studying because again you came with a high school diploma you 432 00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:00,900 got yes. And while we were Little, but it 433 00:23:00,908 --> 00:23:04,500 didn't necessarily equate to like, you know, a direct job. 434 00:23:04,500 --> 00:23:07,300 Yes. And then I remember you studying 435 00:23:07,300 --> 00:23:10,900 and working hard to get your bachelor's degree. 436 00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:14,500 Yeah, while you had three kids, and then after you finish your 437 00:23:14,500 --> 00:23:18,300 Bachelors, you've always been learning about something, doing 438 00:23:18,300 --> 00:23:21,100 something, cross, stitch sewing. I mean, you've just always been 439 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,300 busy doing something so it's very inspiring mom. 440 00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:29,700 Well, on Mother's Day to have a mom that constantly through her. 441 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,700 Example, shows herself to be a hard worker. 442 00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:36,900 So, thank you for doing that and I think that for my listeners 443 00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:40,000 out there, it's encouraging just to hear that, you can do it to 444 00:23:40,300 --> 00:23:43,100 anybody can do it and not get around people that really can 445 00:23:43,100 --> 00:23:48,700 teach you new things and ideas. I will say that Dave Ramsey, the 446 00:23:48,700 --> 00:23:54,700 guy that talks about the snowball effect of like snowball 447 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,100 snow, that's not all is example of listening to people that give 448 00:23:59,100 --> 00:24:02,400 you ideas and New decide that you're going to follow those 449 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,500 ideas, see if it works because you never know. 450 00:24:04,500 --> 00:24:07,900 But I remember we taken the classes. 451 00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:11,900 Kevin and I and the financial piece Financial play these class 452 00:24:11,900 --> 00:24:16,100 and we decided we're going to follow that logic and sure 453 00:24:16,100 --> 00:24:18,400 enough. It worked out, but I think that 454 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,100 we are listening to do today at so many people that the logic is 455 00:24:22,100 --> 00:24:26,600 not beneficial to individuals to make them do better and be 456 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,500 better. And that is why we have it. 457 00:24:29,500 --> 00:24:32,900 The break Down in our society. But I think that if we listen to 458 00:24:32,900 --> 00:24:40,100 people that have values and have ideas, they are like, like out 459 00:24:40,100 --> 00:24:42,500 there. But honestly sometimes you look 460 00:24:42,500 --> 00:24:44,700 at that. You if you think about it, the 461 00:24:44,700 --> 00:24:46,800 kind of don't make any sense. But you thinking, I'm going to 462 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,500 try it anyway. I'm see what it works. 463 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,500 If it works, and if it works, then more power to you. 464 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,500 Yeah. Kind of makes me think of like, 465 00:24:54,700 --> 00:24:57,700 the, the salmon swimming Upstream, right? 466 00:24:57,700 --> 00:24:59,500 Yeah. Like, you could just go with the 467 00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:01,800 rest of the All right, which is broke miserable. 468 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,500 Sad. Chasing after looking like 469 00:25:04,500 --> 00:25:07,500 everyone else, you know, keeping up with the Joneses type. 470 00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:10,400 Yes. Or you could be that salmon. 471 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,800 That's like, you know what? I'm not going to buy nine houses 472 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,300 right off the bat. I'm going to slowly build my 473 00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:18,400 real estate portfolio. I'm going to, you know, 474 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,800 methodically get out of debt to set myself, free trade. 475 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,300 I'm going to, you know, work hard on these things that. 476 00:25:25,300 --> 00:25:28,300 Yeah, most people would either let go because the consistency. 477 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,600 Yes, I really want to just feel Good now. 478 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,000 Yeah. So I think that those are the 479 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,500 concepts that you really honed in on as you pursuing your 480 00:25:35,500 --> 00:25:39,400 career, in pursuing, Financial Freedom, and things that you are 481 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:42,500 able to do for yourself. And that is so true. 482 00:25:42,500 --> 00:25:45,700 And I think that the bottom line to the sometimes, people don't 483 00:25:45,700 --> 00:25:49,400 want to see you succeed. That is always there because we 484 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,200 are not by Nature. We are gel individuals, that's 485 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,700 what we compete with having the better house, or having the 486 00:25:56,700 --> 00:25:59,300 better car or having the better traveling. 487 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,900 But, We are saying to ourselves. Let's do something that is out 488 00:26:04,900 --> 00:26:07,900 there that nobody really is going to be paying attention, 489 00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:12,800 but the benefit is so much bigger than competing with other 490 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,500 people. I think you will see the 491 00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:18,200 benefits of it sooner or later, you will see the benefits of it. 492 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,200 You might not see it. When you understand, you're 493 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,500 like, working and you're trying to do everything, but at the end 494 00:26:24,500 --> 00:26:27,300 of The Journey, you will see that paint out for you. 495 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,000 Yeah, it made me think of when you're saying that like When 496 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,800 you're looking at everybody else, you're competing with 497 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:33,800 everyone around you. If you actually just compete 498 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:34,800 with yourself. Yes. 499 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,300 Can I be consistent? Can I eat this? 500 00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:39,900 Exactly, I want to build. Yeah, you're not focusing on 501 00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:41,300 people around you and what they have. 502 00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:43,000 You're focusing on what you're building for yourself. 503 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,400 Exactly. And so again Guys, these are 504 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,100 just, you know, this is my mom, this is who raised me. 505 00:26:48,100 --> 00:26:52,200 This is the person that gave me all the wisdom and insight. 506 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,500 As I watched her, not just tell me these things but also live. 507 00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:58,100 These things in her life, and I wanted to bring her on the 508 00:26:58,100 --> 00:27:01,400 podcast today, because I really thought that It would be cool to 509 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:06,800 hear from my mom because she's got a lot of just wisdom and she 510 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,600 is just a fun. Puerto Rican mom. 511 00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:11,500 And I thought for the last part of the episode, we could do some 512 00:27:11,500 --> 00:27:13,700 rapid fire questions.
