David's Journey: From Teenage Trouble to Real Estate Triumph
Things that you've seen growing up, things that your parents have taught you- and I mean so it's kind of like if somebody was born, if a Chinese person that was born in China, then that's all they know. But if you're failing forward, it's not as bad as knocking the whole house down and having to start from scratch. And every time that you take a so-called loss, it's not a loss, it's a lesson.
Imagine being arrested at 13 and thinking that a life of bad decisions was all you could expect. That was David Selvin's reality. But in this episode of 'Nowhere To Go But Up', hosted by Sean Dustin, David shares his incredible journey from rock bottom to real estate success. Growing up with little guidance and making poor choices, David found himself in and out of jail, homeless, and a teenage father. It seemed like the odds were stacked against him.
Yet, he didn't let his circumstances dictate his future. With the help of mentors and a shift in mindset, David turned his life around. He joined Toastmasters to hone his public speaking skills, discovered a passion for real estate, and started building a career that would lead him to become a successful investor and coach. Now, he's not just surviving; he's thriving. David’s story is a testament to the power of resilience, self-belief, and the willingness to change.
Whether you're dealing with addiction, facing tough times, or just need a dose of inspiration, this episode offers valuable insights and motivation. Tune in to hear how David transformed his life and learn how you can apply his lessons to your own journey.
