408 - No Plan B: From Poverty to Millionaire Entrepreneur (with Letisha Jackson)

This week's guest on Stay Paid is Letisha Jackson, the CEO of Jackson Insurance Group in Tupelo, Mississippi. Letisha's a 7-figure producer now, but when she started out, she couldn't meet her bills. She had so little that when her husband bought a $1 McDonald's cheeseburger with some found change, they had a huge argument. How she pulled herself up might sound like a hero's story, but Letisha credits her eventual success to her adoption of an "I've got to make this work" mentality. As you listen to her interview, you'll hear example after example of how taking action leads to progress—proving (once again) that the fundamentals are fundamental for a reason.
