McAnear came to the realization that the life his family and friends were living was not for him. Acquiring capital and changing people's lives in positive ways is something that always drove McAnear work harder. This lead to the thought of finding a career path that required a small upfront investment, but yielded high profit. He rebelled against his parents' wishes for him to attend college, which ultimately allowed him to avoid immense debt and save hundreds of thousands of dollars. He wasn't raised in a family where money was expendable or where he received handouts. If he were to attend college the financial burden would have been 100% on him. This was not something McAnear wanted to entertain.
The disagreement between him and his parents lead to him being kicked out of the house at 18 years old. He had $334 to his name at the time. McAnear found himself in a situation where he would be forced to sleep in his car, if he couldn't find a family member or friend to take him in. With the small amount of money he had saved up from his minimum wage job, he purchased his real estate licensing course. Some nights, McAnear would park next to a Starbucks or another location in order to get wifi to study after he got off work. This was a very depressing, and emotional time in his life. Many of his friends and family members doubted him.
There were a select few that always had his back, which he was very grateful for. Most people shut down all of his innovative ideas. It took a lot of strength to stand up to his parents, teachers and everyone who continuously doubted him. With all of this happening, it was hard for McAnear to believe in himself. With the sliver of confidence he gained from receiving his real estate license, he went all in, even when it felt like the world was against him. He knew he had to do this, for him and for the few people that believed in him. Real Estate became a sport for young McAnear.
Over the course a few years he worked for a variety of real estate agencies, mastering the game as well as recognizing its flaws. While working for different agencies, McAnear witnessed how realtors and clients were treated. Ultimately, he learned what it takes to thrive in the industry. He took the good concepts from these companies and dropped the bad ones. Lux properties, his first business, was then created.
This jump-started his career as an entrepreneur and a philanthropist. He grew to enjoy this, and has established a solid relationship with St. Jude. With the success of Lux, he was inspired to create the four other companies that later joined his entourage. He was able to use the capital he made from his real estate career to fund all of his other business ventures. This allowed him to remain debt free.
His desire to help people is the driving force behind all of his companies. He accomplishes this by structuring his businesses in a selfless way, devoid of greed or self-centeredness. With the experience he's gained from creating five successful businesses, he is able to offer his advice on what has worked for him to students, business owners, etc. He has been able to help CEO's market and advertising ideas to millennials, assist others in getting their own businesses started, and so much more.
Ultimately, the difficult stage he went through helped him grow into the person that he is today. Chase McAnear went from being a depressed, unorganized individual who was unsatisfied with his life, to a fulfilled and successful business owner. He has been shaped and molded into who he is, which has turned him into a better family member, friend, and businessman.
After obtaining large sums of money from real estate and conjuring up four other prestige companies, he has been able to work toward bettering himself. In his eyes, his work has only just started. Being only 21, he has his whole life ahead of him to innovate, launch more businesses, give back to those in need, and inspire. It is his sole belief that he was put on this planet to lend a hand to individuals who seek out his help, and he will never back down from that. Chase McAnear finds true happiness in helping people.
