The one thing all business owners fear the most….losing everything.
No clients, no contracts, no income, no money.
This has been the harsh reality for my guest Taq Shah. Going from the most incredible first year of her business in 2021, earning more than she ever thought possible, to friends and family having to help pay her bills in 2024.
Taq shows incredible strength to share what she is going through at this very moment in her business and life. Something all other business owners need to hear to avoid the same mistakes.
And it’s not just the business that suffers. As Taq shares, her attempts to work herself out of her situation also led to burning out at the end of 2024.
Taq is raising awareness for small business owner’s mental health and the impact of work styles on overall well-being.
No matter what happens never doubt your skills, never doubt what you can achieve, always have hope.
“I felt like a failure…but I have hope”– Taq
