Growing up, I watched my parents work tirelessly to provide for our family. I believed that achieving high grades in school and graduating from university would guarantee success, but that wasn’t the case for me. Finding a job was difficult, so I ended up working abroad as an Assistant Salesperson and Graphic Designer at a hotel. In search of a better future, I moved to Canada and decided to go back to school to study as a Medical Office Assistant. I was very fortunate to land a job with a doctor, which had been my first career choice from the beginning.

To earn more money, I often worked extended hours and holidays. While the pay was good, I soon realized that the additional income was being eaten up by taxes, leaving me with almost the same amount as if I had worked regular hours. The time I spent working so hard for just a bit more money was time I could have spent with my husband and family.

This made me realize that I didn’t want to spend the next 30-40 years working long hours for a fixed income, sacrificing precious time that I could never get back. Time is a luxury that should be spent with loved ones.

In 2017, I was introduced to Greatway, and following my husband’s lead, I began studying for the life insurance license exam. Working part-time with Greatway provided me with an opportunity to earn extra income, even more than what I made at my full-time job. As a reward for our hard work, my family and I enjoyed yearly cruises. After just a few months with Greatway, I took a leap of faith and quit my job to focus on helping more families who needed my services.

Today, my financial advisory practice is thriving, and I am grateful every day for the opportunity to help my clients achieve their financial goals. It hasn’t always been easy, but knowing that I am making a difference in people’s lives makes it all worthwhile. Becoming a financial advisor wasn’t just a career choice for me—it was a calling to help others build a secure and prosperous future.
