When Mairead reached out to me: She was a 52-year-old entrepreneur and tax adviser, running her own accountancy practice with 4 teenagers at home…
Trying to add another professional qualification…
But paralyzed by fear after failing her tax finals FIVE times previously…
"I remembered all the times I had failed and I wasn't able to actually carry on. I wasn't able to study."
She felt isolated. Didn't know where to start. Didn't know how to organize herself.
After 4 months working together:
Her confidence grew from "sitting at the back of the class with imposter syndrome" to "I'm absolutely in the right place"
She walked out of her exam thinking: "It was the first time in 40 exams I felt I did myself proud"
She went from barely scraping through to actually being proud of her performance.
Age doesn't matter. Past failures don't define you. The right guidance changes everything.
