Aha Moment: Lee Ann Womack
Mary Miller fell in love with a man who made his fortune flipping houses. But when the relationship ended, Mary wasn’t just heartbroken – she wanted to beat him at his own game.
On the way to the bank to sign a $400,000 loan, Lee Ann Womack’s “I Hope You Dance” came on the radio. “Don’t let some hell-bent heart make you bitter,” she sang. “When you come close to selling out, reconsider.” Mary did reconsider, just as the housing market crashed, and now makes her living her own way – singing country music and jazz standards.
