in Las Vegas on Short Sales , her real estate investments began soaring . “ Within a few months I had 30 properties under contract and a short sale negotiator working for me full time .”
With a promising new job in Corporate America , Laura had planned to keep investing in real estate as a side business . But when this part-time income outpaced her salary , she took a leap of faith and plunged into real estate full time – and her career skyrocketed . And then , the rubber met the road … What came next can only be explained in Laura ’ s own words :
“ After a few years , it began to get boring . I knew there was something missing ; there had to be more to this . The money was great but my heart wasn ’ t in it . Writing a book wasn ’ t interesting for me – I ’ m more of a hands-on person . In 2010 , with the Internet so popular , I decided to build a website teaching about real estate .
For a year and a half I worked on this website
at night , every night from 8 pm to 2 to 3 am in the morning . I had a limited budget at that point so I did the work myself and was still doing real estate in the daytime . I didn ’ t really know yet if I was going to do something with this website – I didn ’ t really know where I was going with it . So I basically did the videos , and basic content and started it as a membership site and launched it in August 2011 . It was called RealEstateMentorshipOnline .”
My focus at this point was just to give training to people about buying real estate , and within a year it was successful , I guess , for a membership site . But people kept telling me , ‘ You need to go out there , you need to talk to people , you can ’ t hide behind a computer – you have much more of a presence , charisma .’ This one person , now a good friend , he kind of pushed me to do that . That ’ s why I started doing these live events . I started first in St Louis , as that ’ s where I lived , and slowly expanded into other areas .”
It had come full circle . This bright young woman – nurtured by a Hawaiian firm full of sage agents so openly generous with their time and wisdom – realized her own life would really only be complete by inspiring others to fulfill their dreams .
