The real estate business was something Dad and I could do together.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dad is in commercial real estate. Mom is a writer and a retired teacher.
My dad told me he wanted me to join in the business, but nothing was firm. He was quite young when he died, so we hadn't talked about it in depth.
My dad was an entrepreneurial businessman, and maybe I got some of his ability.
I got into real estate very much by accident.
I wanted to be a businesswoman from as early as I can remember, and specifically, my real passion was real estate.
My father was a successful entrepreneur.
After my father died, we were pretty much wiped out financially as a family, so I decided to give finance a try.
I grew up in a few houses because my dad was a builder, so we used to build and sell quite a lot.
When I sold my first business, I wanted to do something nice for my dad. I wanted to give my parents a bunch of money, but they wouldn't take anything from me. They were so happy for me; they felt they didn't need money.
My father was adamant in his disapproval of my interest in show business.
