I have felt the pain many professionals do, the realization that while you are financially successful, your time is not your own and too much is being sacrificed along the way. Here’s why I started the Impact Real Estate Investment Club.
I grew up in India within a culture that was quite restrictive to women. My voice and dreams were not welcomed or encouraged to be heard.
There were many expectations placed upon me, though, among them completing my doctorate degree and getting married. I did all of the things that were expected while longing for something more..
Then, my family moved to the United States, and I saw the opportunity to follow my own dream of becoming an entrepreneur and owning my own business in the Dallas/Fort Worth metro.
My children have always been my priority, so I chose to build a Preschool (Day Care) business.
This would let me spend weekends and evenings with my family, and I felt I will make an impact by delivering quality care and education. Initially, I faced a lot of challenges, but within a few months, I had turned things around. My research and analytical background inspired me to get a real estate license and do my own due diligence to find the best location for my business.
I thought I was living the dream, but I quickly noticed I had become trapped in the “rat race” instead. Although we were successful, it came at a cost.
It seemed like I was now in the loop of never-ending responsibilities.
I was responsible for making sure my employees were paid on time. I paid a mortgage, property and payroll taxes, vendors, permits, insurance, etc. It seemed like a never-ending list of bills and responsibilities. I also dealt with competition, employee turnover and clients, and I felt like my life was about pleasing everyone.
I had so little time for my kids, and when I was physically with them, mentally I was always at my business. Finding time for a vacation was a challenge. Even while on vacation, I didn’t have the flexibility to be away from my phone and I would have trouble sleeping.
The turning point in my life was when I decided to surprise my son at school for lunch.
I was extremely excited and cooked his favorite mac ‘n’ cheese. However, when I reached the school’s cafeteria, I was shocked to see that his lunch was over and kids had queued up to leave. My son enthusiastically greeted me. He hugged me and said, “Mom, bye. I need to go back to my class. My lunch is over.”
That heartbreak was the breaking point that led me to pivot towards commercial real estate investing.
I saw what you see now, the potential for a better quality of life through passive income, lower taxes, and powerful growth in my overall net worth. I saw the path to financial freedom and the ability to live life on my terms.
So, I used my research and analytical skills, real estate investment background, and recently acquired real estate license to build an award–winning commercial real estate business and real estate acquisition firm. I decided to earn the coveted CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) designation from the CCIM Institute.
And it all worked! I have freedom I never could have imagined, and now my mission is to help you do the same.
