Profiles of Success: Darin Garman and More

People Who Start From Scratch And Get Rich Are For Real!

Sometimes, to listen to the media, you’d think that the from-scratch millionaire and multi-millionaire was more like the mythical unicorn than a relatively common American. But the latter is true.

Darin Garman is a former Iowa prison guard. Motivated by a tattered copy of Think And Grow Rich gathering dust in the warden’s office, he quit his job and entered the world of commercial real estate as a novice. A relatively short time later, as an agent working with apartment building and shopping center investors, he controls over 70% of his market. He also manages real estate investment funds.

Jeff Kaller was a fry cook when he started investing in real estate. Today he’s the premier entrepreneur and educator in the field of foreclosures.

Rob Minton of QuitWorkSomeDay.com switched from ordinary real estate agent to one working only with investors, as well as focusing on investment himself, and has quickly built a nationwide network of agents, investors and interests in properties.

Stephen Oliver got his MBA but realized the corporate career path couldn’t match his financial and personal goals. He started his tiny martial arts school with $10,000.00 pulled from credit cards. In just 18 months, he built a $1-million business with 5 locations. Now he is franchising nationwide.

What do they have in common? Not any particular business, but rather a progression of both thought and action, from worker to business owner to entrepreneur to investor.
