College Educated and Financially Illiterate. - A Teacher Turned Entrepreneur by Hazel Elaina first college graduate in my immediate family. After my first 3 years of teaching, I moved away from my home city, Miami, to South Carolina, for a cheaper cost of living.  I acquired a masters degree in special education to make myself more marketable, when I couldn’t get hired after moving to Myrtle Beach, and I substituted in special education classes. I moved to near Charleston, SC until to find out my position was a 4 day music teaching position AFTER I got hired, and it was reduced to a three day teaching position that following year. Although I was blessed with 4.3 GPA, an FIU Invitational Scholars Scholarship, and  aFlorida Bright Futures Scholarship,And everytime I spoke with a realtor, the only words they gave me were “You gotta work on your bad credit. 

In March 2019 , like I do every year right before spring break, I was contemplating business ideas. A huge yellow ad popped up on my Facebook Newsfeed, requesting agents for a work from home opportunity. hile I was at the conference, I had the chance to meet the mentors I followed on Instagram.  I met Alfred Nickson, a former garbage collector who became a millionaire after working in our company for four years. I met Bruce Lee Rochester, a former telemarketer who is a millionaire as well. And I also met our Pinnacle Executive leaders, Ashton Henry, multi-millionaire a former soccer college student from Grenada, who had a limited income as a tax preparer. I also met Pink Millionaire Nicola Smith Jackson, another Pinnacle Executive, who is an ordained minister and former hairdresser. I currently receive weekly Zoom trainings with them.
