47 and not giving up š
Welcome to MessUpAndWin (M.U.A.W)! šš¤ Hey there! I'm Makeba :), a proud mother of seven (yep, seven!) amazing kids. Before diving into real estate, I spent 10 years in retail managementādealing with everything from late-night inventory counts to finding that one missing sock in the stockroom. After that, I took the plunge and ran my own real estate business from 2008 to 2021. Things were going great, until... I lost it all on three rehab projects. Ouch, right? But hereās the thingāIām not giving up. Iāve started over, and this time, Iām determined to turn things around and make it happen. Iām on a mission to go from zero to $10 million in 10 years through real estate wholesaling, and Iāll be sharing the whole messy journeyāthe wins, the stumbles, and everything in between. Why wholesaling? Well, after losing our house to foreclosure and seeing our 401k get wiped out to $300 during the 2008 crash, I realized that traditional retirement paths just werenāt cutting it. Wholesaling offers bigger, faster profits than trying to slowly build savings or a 401k (been there, done that). Plus, itās a business where anyone can start from scratchājust like Iām doing now! So, letās get real. This journey is going to be messy, but with every misstep comes a chance to learn and win. And thatās why weāre here: Mess Up And Win! Or as I like to call it, M.U.A.W (like a chefs kiss after an amazing mealāmuah!) šš¤ Join me as I share real stories from the trenches, break down strategies that are actually working, and show you that itās never too late to build your futureāno matter where youāre starting from. So, grab a seat, drop your questions, and letās do this together!
