A lot of my success is a facade. I know Aaron Bedard, who I believe is still in the room, knows that more than anyone else.
Being in a position where you are physically in pain all the time, you have to learn to put on a happy face. In real estate, my face is my money-maker.
What has got me to this place? I have become a success not because of anything that Veterans Affairs or the Government of Canada has done. It's almost in spite of. The transition from military to civilian life was horrific, when I was asked to go to take university courses, to stay in the military right up until graduation, and then they informed me that I would not be able to hold those positions. All that effort was for nought.
What has got me into this position where I am considered a success? I think it's hard work, determination, and putting my health and mental wellness second to nothing else.
