Real Estate Agent (Rick Miranda)

The Dream Vocation Podcast with Tony Bellagamba

In this episode we speak with Rick Miranda, Real Estate agent. I’ve known Rick for several years and from the moment I met him it was clear that he was a hard worker. But I didn’t realize the extent to which this man grinds until we did this interview.

Rick started working full-time at just 15 years old, putting in 40+ hours a week at McDonalds and even covering his own dental care as a teenager! As he became an adult he transitioned into the automotive industry where he built a successful corporate career with a nice salary, company car, and all the frills. Then one day, one of Rick’s customers told him he trusted him so much that he wanted Rick to act as the real estate agent for the sale of his home. This stuck in Rick’s head and months later he decided to become a licensed real estate agent. Shortly after that he took the leap, leaving his safe salary, company car, and other perks for a career with no set hours and most importantly, no set pay. But once again Rick rose to the challenge and as he himself said, he left his corporate job on Friday and showed up to work in the real estate space first thing Monday morning as if he was a salaried employee. Through hard work and perseverance, Rick was able to build a thriving career and in doing so was able to become his own boss and create his own destiny.

This story is an inspiration for everyone and proves that if you’re willing to put in the work and grind, anything is possible. Please join me in listening to Rick’s story.
