Balancing work and personal life was tough, but my journey showcases resilience and determination in finance and tax management. Every obstacle has strengthened my commitment to empowering others in their financial journeys.

What’s your best advice for readers who want to succeed in their life?

Commit to your goals, persist in your efforts, and embrace continuous learning and adaptation. Success stems from perseverance, learning from failures, and adapting to change. Define achievable goals, craft a plan, and remain focused on your vision. View setbacks as opportunities to learn and grow. Seek support from like-minded individuals for guidance and motivation. Understand that success is a journey, not just a destination, and while the path may be challenging, the rewards are well worth the effort.

Speaking of success, what does the word mean to you?

Success, to me, is all about personal happiness and making a positive impact. It’s not just about money or getting awards; it’s about growing, helping others, and keeping life balanced.
