A man describes carrying his dead father's possessions in a single box and realizing he left almost nothing behind. It pushed him to become a better husband and father, and to warn others that chasing success in real estate can wreck your family.
The saddest day of my life was when my dad passed away. I was not there with him, but.
I visited shortly.
After, after that, and I just sat with him for a little bit of time. So he had passed away. I'm sitting with him and I'm walking out, and I just. I'm just crying. And I'm carrying all of his possessions in a very small box, including.
Like, a VHS player.
I don't know why he had a.
VHS player.
But he didn't have anything, you know, not that money's everything. He just had nothing to show for his time on earth. And there was only two.
People that.
I needed to call to let them know that he had passed away. So, you know, my motivation around all.
This stuff is like.
I just knew I didn't want to be like my dad. I knew I wanted to be a great husband, a great dad. And real estate, raise your hand if it's. If you think it's easy and you have time and money, freedom, it's not. It's hard. And so we're in this industry that requires so much of us, and the.
Risks are that we.
Give too much.
To it and.
There'S collateral damage as.
A result of it.
