The Value of Making an Impact with Trevor Houston
b'Trevor Houston comes from a broken family. Sadly, shortly after the divorce, his mother figured into a car accident that leaves her disabled. As a result, he grew up in poverty in Allen, Texas, which ironically is a middle-class town comprised of families who lived good lives. They were so poor; he had to steal water so he could flush the toilet. His mother took in room renters, so he was always surrounded by different people from various cultures. The experience taught him the value of communicating and adapting to his environment. Because he lacked strong parental figures, he was in and out of a juvenile detention facility. His father then took him in, which transformed Trevor\\u2019s life. His dad taught him how to work hard, save, and believe in God. As an adult, he dominated the auto industry and received tons of accolades selling cars. After six years of always being on top, he wanted to get into management, but they never promoted him. Because he was disillusioned, he shifted to financial services. Sadly, his first year left him miserable as he was not able to sell anything. Finally, he realized that he should be serving people instead of just selling. When this hit him, he was able to regain his momentum. Now, instead of being concerned about sales and trophies, he cares more about making an impact and helping people.'
