Why We Don't Hire Financial Help Fast Enough

Today, I have a unique style of episode in store for you. We'll engage in a candid conversation with a business owner and delve into a question that I often have for new entrepreneurs: Why do they wait to hire a tax strategist for their business?

Joining us for this discussion is Tanya Smith, a friend I met in the Brand Builders group. Tanya brings with her a wealth of experience as a branding and visual communications expert. She is the founder of WorkStory Creative™ and holds the title of Certified Personal Branding Strategist for Brand Builders Group.

Throughout our conversation, Tanya will offer her perspective on my question, drawing from her own journey of starting a business and where she finds herself today. She will shed light on why she chose to delay seeking assistance with her finances until a later stage in her entrepreneurial journey.
