Jim Perry grew up watching his single mom make a second career in the real estate business.
She encouraged him to get his license at age 19. After a stint as a teacher, he went into real estate full-time and was extremely successful.
He set an income goal for himself and hit it. He bought a new truck, new house, even a new boat.
The problem: he was still unfulfilled. That s when I thought, you know what? I can change people s lives, maybe make a little bit less money at first or for a little while, said Perry, now 39. But I can give everyone else the same opportunity to knock it out of the park with their career.
