Behind Their Success: Advice For Entrepreneurs
You are not alone, building a business is hard. This is a podcast to hear from those who have done it before you so you can become the healthy, wealthy and wise entrepreneur you want to be.
My name is Paden Squires, and I started out of college working in finance at a Fortune 500 company and hated it- I was bored out of my mind. So I wanted to change my life. I started studying for the CPA exam, listening to podcasts six hours a day; and I took four exams in eight months. I even started my business in my living room with zero public accounting experiences and taxes. At this point, I had never done a tax return before, but I didn’t let that stop me.
In 2014, I launched my business Squires CPA, and opened up an office in 2016. My business has grown ever since through trials, lessons, networking, and planting the right seeds. Since then I have had a lot of success in other business ventures including real estate, and property management and more. Now I want to help inspire you to achieve your potential and dreams in business and break from the corporate mold.
So let’s learn from the stories and hard lessons of successful entrepreneurs so you can become wealthier and wiser today.
