042: Growing Up A Hustler And Taking Advantage Of Opportunities When They Come


Listen Later

In this episode you will hear Carlos Hank talk about when he was young he learned how to hustle.  Carlos was 15 years old and worked as a laborer on construction sites doing what was needed of him to help out on the sites.  Carlos' Mom worked as a union laborer and his Dad worked for Southern Pacific Railroad as a bridge tender, his Dad taught him you must be ready to invest and take advantage of opportunities when they come.  When Carlos received his first paycheck from construction he gave it to his Mom because his family was not well off and he felt the family needed it.  The other paychecks he would receive he would go out with his friends and he became a spender.  When Carlos joined the Military he was not making very much money, he was married and had to have a very tight budget.  Carlos sought out a Mentor in the Military and discovered he needed to grow in the ranks to be able to increase his salary.  During his time in the Military he met a guy in the squadron that looked like he had a lot of money and was probably the same rank as him. This individual invited Carlos to the enlisted club to a class he was holding and he learned about investing.  Carlos and his wife realized they were wasting money on items when they should be investing.  Continue listening to hear the path that Carlos took to get where he is now.
