“ I had a lot more of mindset issues than the actual execution because I felt like I could provide good services. I had a certain level of confidence. But it doesn't matter really how much confidence, if you do also lack that critical mindset piece to really help you move forward.” -Nacondra Moran

In part 1 of thie great 2-part series, Nacondra Moran, founder of Exceptional Tax Services, shares the mindset shifts, fears, and learning curves she faced after leaving her job at the IRS.

In this interview, you’ll learn:

  • What mindset shifts helped Nacondra transition from employee to entrepreneur
  • Pricing mistakes, hiring lessons & boundaries
