So I called my mom in Michigan.

I said, mom, I don't know what to do.

I said, I could really use your help, but I don't have enough money to pay you good money.

I could afford to pay you 15 bucks an hour.

I can pay my stepdad 65 grand, which by the way, my mom's best year in real estate, she sold 55 houses.

So she, she's done well.

She's like, Tommy, I don't know.

I'm like, listen, mom, I'm your only son.

I need your help.

You think about it.

I love you.

She called back in two weeks, said, we're going to sell our house.

We're going to move our lives to Arizona.

It's a million and a half bucks a year.

And by the way, a lot of people have a tough time hitting a million, but I was the highest ticket writer for seven years.

And then I finally started to delegate.

Anytime we weren't going to have payroll, my mom would call and say, hey, because I'm working on marketing and hiring and training.

She's like, I need you to go run two jobs today.

And then in 2014, I found a good integrator.

The dude was super smart and he still tells me the stories.
