He describes starting while in real estate school doing manual tasks (pulling weeds, dropping flyers) for $8/hour, being paid a guaranteed $500/week (plus occasional gas and grocery money), and his father’s rule that he would not receive commission checks for the first 24 months so he could learn the business by sitting at the edge of his father’s desk.

My dad was one of those people that is you will work for everything you have. I'm not feeding with a silver spoon. And I started like when I was going to real estate school. I was pulling weeds for him and dropping flyers off at house for eight bucks an hour, right? That's where I started. That was my internship. But the greatest thing I ever experienced was sitting when I got my license. My dad says, you will not get a commission check for the first 24 months. I was paid $500 a week plus some gas money. I think he even gave us some grocery money every now and again. He didn't want me to experience getting a commission check. In the roller coaster. He's like, you need to learn this. So you're going to sit at my edge of my des, right the two feet at the edge of his desk and learn what I do. And it was invaluable for me and that's how I got into the business.
