How easy was that for you? How much of your mindset did you have to change when you changed careers? A Canadian-Filipino, Dave Greig from Grow With 1st Class has been involved with two succesm sful real estate startups. But when he first immigrated to the U.S., he found that his Canadian degree and his English teaching experience were considered worthless. His American-born wife had to work and support the family because all of his skills didn\u2019t translate to the American job sector.  Dave credits Rich Dad Poor Dad and the Bible for being the two most influential books in his life. There\u2019s no such thing as luck, he says. When an opportunity comes along, you should jump at it. That\u2019s why he jumped in feet first to a job opportunity his Realtor friend suggested to him. He still honors his English teaching background by approaching his sales career just like a teacher. He works to figure out what a person needs before he finds a solution for their problem. And he just doesn\u2019t care for the hard sell because that doesn\u2019t fit in with his teacher mentality. As you were growing up, you absorbed certain lessons about money, and not all of those lessons were good. You\u2019ve probably heard the phrase, \u201cMoney is the root of all evil\u201d. For Dave, unlearning his money beliefs helped him break through the mental barrier he\u2019d put in front of his success. He realized that if he was wealthy, he could provide jobs, give back to his community, and donate to charity. This was such a great conversation with Dave Greig. I truly believe that breakthroughs can happen in just one conversation with a mentor who can help you see patterns and goals that you might miss on your own. I would love to help guide you through that journey.
