I want to retire to California or Florida.

And again, her friends teased her.

Well, the way the story turns out is my grandmother became a self-made millionaire by taking that change and investing.

So basically by brown bagging her lunch, investing her change, she became a self-made millionaire.

She retired to California.

Her friends were all stuck in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

She retired to California.

But more important than that is my grandmother taught my father how to invest and he became a self-made millionaire.

She taught me how to invest.

I became a self-made millionaire and my sister.

And the first book I ever wrote was a book called Smart Women Finish Rich.

It was dedicated to her.

It was her life lessons.

And so the thing is, when when someone's sitting here and they've got a dream and the people around them are telling them why they can't do it.

The people around them have no idea what you can do.

They don't know you.

Only you know you, and you don't even know you yet, because you haven't started.

So my grandmother didn't know it, how it would turn out.

It didn't turn out well in the beginning.

She invested and lost money.
