David Carpenter was broke financially, crushed emotionally, and overwhelmed mentally.
After finding quick success as an entrepreneur by earning a company paid for BMW at only 19 years old, David was quickly humbled when he watched his entire business crumble less than 2 years later. At 21, he was forced to return his car due to the fact he couldn’t keep up with the payments. However, as a relentless competitor his entire life, David refused to give up and decided to launch his second business, which, to his dismay, ended up failing within a year…
David eventually met the man who would become his mentor. This single event served as a catalyst causing David to start a new chapter of his life in the Financial Services Industry. He took his test and failed and failed a second time and then got a loan from his Mom to pay to take the test and passed. His first week he made $2,600, but his second month he made $1,200 when one of his managers told him he was not going to make it to which he used as fuel. In his third month he made $12,000 and never looked back.
Now, only four years later, at 26 years old, David…
