I came to America in April 2010. By April 2010, I was already walking to work. I remember standing in front of a supermarket, asking people to fill out their information to vote. For each page people signed, I made $8—about $24 a day—and I walked miles from my home to the market.
I got my driver’s license after two months. I found a dental technician job from a newspaper ad. I drove to the interview and got hired. I’m not sure why they hired me, but I’m so thankful to have had that job.
I remember starting at $2 a tooth, then moving up to $4.50 a tooth. After that, I switched to a different company paying $10 a tooth. I was so good and fast at it that I worked only half a day and still made $300 a day. Life in America was so interesting. I always wanted more and more. To other people, making $60–80k a year in their first couple of years in America was already great.
But what if I hadn’t quit that job to pursue network marketing? What if he had wanted more like I did, and we had bought a house back then in Orange County? If we had that house, when we walked out of each other’s lives, we would still have had money to start over somewhere else.
Fast forward—from $24 a day to $20k a day. Sometimes I don’t even care if I lose a $10–15k deal.
I know America 🇺🇸 is the land of opportunity. You can be whatever you want, dream big, and you don’t need to speak perfect English to make a decent income.
For me in 2025, whether I make $40k a month or $4k a month, it feels the same. I have very little debt, I work from home, and I control my own time. I have the freedom to do whatever I want—and to me, that is everything.
I don’t compare myself to anyone around me. They might have 4–10 kids to take care of, so they work more and close more loans than me. I just want to be happy, enjoy my life, and help the people who cross my path and need my help. I don’t care if their loan is $2M or $200k—they are all the same to me. You will never truly understand what it’s like to have the privilege to choose who you want to work with, because your end goal is not about money.
