Summary
Diego is a Dreamer, in more ways than one. Coming to America from Peru at the age of 9 with his family Diego adopted his parent’s determination and work ethic. Lacking the necessary paperwork to accept the college scholarships offered to him, Diego used his resourcefulness to start a company and put himself through college. Then in 2012 Obama passed the DACA policy that allowed children brought to the US by their parents to work and drive. Leveraging this program Diego has now quit his corporate job and is a full-time realtor and real estate investor.
Chasing impact Diego tells his story to inspire others. He tells everyone “Live a bigger life, not a bigger lifestyle.”

Quotes:
“The decision for me was to either make excuses or make money for my future.”
“Reading showed me the difference between being an employee, being self-employed, owning a business and finally being an investor.”
“Build a bigger life, not a bigger lifestyle.”
“If your mentors tell you what to do and you don’t take action, they will not continue helping you.”
“Here in America (in the marketplace) you get the value that you bring.”
“Success is not something you pursue, it’s something you become.”
“If you want to get the same results as someone, often times you are going to have to adapt the same mindset or the same disciplines or the same habits.”
