Some of the best stories centered around the success of young starving entrepreneurs almost
always include one of three things. An indomitable drive, an honorable motivation, and an
improbable upcoming. In the case of real estate mogul Tarry Summer, his story includes all
three. Tarry Summers is a thriving and rising real estate developer based out of Columbus Ohio
with several varied years of experience from industries like personal training in the gym, all the
way to network marketing and real estate sales. However, Tarry’s story starts from a far
humbler place.
Tarry began his professional career as a personal trainer in a gym working long gratuitous hours
but still not feeling completely fulfilled. Tarry early on realized that what he was lacking was a
sense of freedom through an epiphany he happened to fall into via a very impromptu, three-
day vacation from his taxing fitness industry job to the Florida Keys, where he shortly realized
that there was much more to life than working the same extensive hours every day of your life
until retirement, with no room or free time to step outside of your work bubble to enjoy things
like unrestricted travel, material possessions, or even family.
This realization led Tarry to begin studying real estate in all his free time and saving up to
eventually invest himself all while still working his full-time fitness career. He was so committed
to actualizing this dream, to make the most of his saved finances, he lived as frugal as he
physically could, going to the lengths of sleeping on his friend’s couch in the basement, paying
just 250 dollars a month in rent in order to reach his dreams.
Not after long, Tarry was able to afford his first piece of property, still staying in his friend’s
basement and working a considerable number of hours in the gym he was a personal trainer in,
and within three years of living the most cost-effective way that he could, Tarry accumulated 16
properties where then he was then comfortable enough to leave his corporate job entirely.
Tarry attributes this acute determination to “Having the right mindset comes down to being
able to have goals that allow you to overcome the obstacles that are thrown your way every
day. You have to have external motivations That burn so deep, that you can’t imagine not
overcoming the obstacles thrown your way.”
Tarry Summers is a shining example of the rewards and success that can be found in finding the
passion and will to commit to the long, tedious grind that sprouts most successful
entrepreneurs who are there to stay. Stories like this prove that it is never about luck, but the
persistent hustle and grind that truly forge accomplished people, willing to do anything to reach
their dreams.
