The Domino Effect

LARYSA DOMINO lives her life and career as her grandmother, Nadia, did. With what she calls her “outwork the rest” mentality, Domino earned a BA from Northwestern University, an MBA from Northwestern Kellogg School of Management, and passed the CPA exam—before deciding to pivot. “I chose a career change in my late-30s, which is a difficult thing, especially as a single mom,” she says. “The hard work ethic instilled by my grandmother, and the notion that you can reinvent your life, was a definite driver in my success story. Growing up I spent a lot of time with my grandmother. Despite all the hardships in her early life, she re-created herself with strength and grace here in the Chicago area after immigrating from Eastern Europe as a single mother herself.” After becoming a real estate broker and Certified Relocation Specialist, Domino became the No. 1 individual agent in Hinsdale in four short years and has nearly doubled her sales volume each year. “I believe my finance background and commitment to an analytical, data-driven business style has created incredible results for my clients,” she says. Domino admires Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx shape wear. “She’s a dream chaser with an incredible drive and belief in herself,” Domino says. “She created a product, self-funded it from the beginning, and success quickly followed.” Domino’s brand is her product, and her tagline “The Domino Effect makes everything fall into place” is stronger than ever.
