Tell us about yourself

Shauna A. Wekherlien was raised by a strong mother! Her mother is her goddess, and she always looks forward to her smile and jokes. But everything changed one day! One day, her mother got a mail, and after a while, Shauna saw her mother’s face turning from pale to pink to flush red. Suddenly she threw a chair towards the window! It was wild and scary, unlike her mother. When Shauna discovered that this unusual outburst was because of IRS notices and huge tax bills, she knew she had to do something to make her mother happy again. So she switched from Astrophysics to Taxes as her major, studied countless tax laws and strategies to help her mother, and guess what! She was able to get her mother’s taxes down to 7% annually! And the rest is history! She started to love what she did. The smile she sees on clients' faces when she delivers tax strategy results is just the best part! So she became the "Tax Goddess," helping taxpayers live worry-free lives with the freedom to achieve their dreams without financial constraints. Now, Shauna is US' top 1% tax strategist. She has been featured in many magazines, such as Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine. So far, with over 4700 tax plans, Shauna has been able to help her clients save over $897,403,128 tax money in total.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Shauna’s biggest achievement as a business owner is helping her clients reach their financial goals through strategic tax reduction.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

One of the hardest things about being a business owner is managing work-life balance. As the one responsible for the business, it can be very difficult to manage time to balance work and personal life. For Shauna, this is especially true in tax seasons when long hours and intense pressure can take a toll on even the most passionate individuals. Many business owners—even successful ones—get stuck in a cycle of feeling overwhelmed and tired, unable to find the necessary balance to achieve success.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

1. Know yourself, your true motivational level, the amount of money you can risk, and what you’re willing to do to be successful.
2. Research the market you will target and determine your strengths and weaknesses.
3. Create a plan and take the risk. Believe in yourself and take the time to research the market and competition properly
