This week's episode is Part 2 of a 2-part series featuring the incredible Sandy Cook.  Last year Sandy sold over $37 million in real estate, making her one of the top producers in her region.  In her free time, she owns multiple investments including stocks, hotels, senior centers and more and  has run numerous business ventures both solo and with her husband.   The best part is that Sandy does everything that she does with a smile on her face.  

Sandy started her working life as a greeter at swimming pool and went on to have jobs at McDonald's, a paper route, a lifeguard and a then became a waitress where  saved up enough money to buy her first condo.  

Sandy eventually married, had kids and helped her husband grow his businesses.  She helped so much that she basically took over the business completely and pushed it to the next level of success.  Through hard work, dedication and did we mention hard work, she not only grew her husbands businesses, but also grew her financial and business savvy, surpassing her husband's income and becoming a millionaire in her own right in 2006. 

Sandy's husband left for heaven earlier than they had expected and she was widowed fairly young.  Being a super strong boss lady, Sandy has continued to grow her and her late husband's empires; growing and selling his senior care centers and roofing businesses by being hands, taking the wheel and making the businesses even more profitable that before, all while becoming an investor in a hotel, numerous parcels of commercial real estate and most recently purchasing 26 acres of land in Tennessee where she hopes to develop a tiny home community.  

Sandy is the ultimate proof that kindness can win.  She reminds me every opportunity that I have the honor of talking to her that you have to be YOU, that you do anything you set your mind to and that with hard work-You Got This!
