Why I Started with Zero Knowledge (And Why That's Actually Perfect)
I need to tell you something that might surprise you - when I started this journey, I literally knew nothing about taxes. And I mean NOTHING.
I couldn't tell you the difference between a W-2 and a 1099. I had no idea what an Enrolled Agent was. I'd never heard of tax resolution, and I certainly didn't know it was possible to make six figures helping people with tax problems.
But here's what I've learned: starting with zero knowledge is actually the perfect place to begin.
Why? Because you don't have any bad habits to unlearn. You don't have preconceived notions about what's "impossible" or "too difficult." You're not carrying around limiting beliefs about what you can or can't achieve.
You're a blank slate, ready to learn the right way from the very beginning.
I remember sitting at my kitchen table three years ago, googling "how to become a tax preparer" because I'd heard it was a stable career with good income potential. I had no idea I was about to discover a path that would completely transform my life.
The first thing I learned was that there are actually multiple levels of tax professional work:
Basic tax preparation (what most people think of when they hear "tax person")
Enrolled Agent status (which allows you to represent clients before the IRS)
Tax resolution (helping people solve serious tax problems for premium fees)
Each level builds on the previous one, and each level opens up new income opportunities and professional possibilities.
But here's the key - you don't need to figure out this progression on your own. You don't need to waste time researching dozens of different schools and programs. You don't need to make expensive mistakes or take unnecessary detours.
I've already walked this path. I've already tested the resources, made the mistakes, and figured out what works. Now I'm going to share that exact roadmap with you.
Starting with zero knowledge isn't a disadvantage - it's your secret weapon. You get to learn the right way from day one, following a proven path that's already been tested and refined.
Your journey is just beginning, and I couldn't be more excited to guide you through it!
