Client Snapshot: Joy Adams, JWA Tax Services
1. Who are you and what is your business?
Joy Adams CEO of JWA Accounting and Tax Services. My business is available to serve individuals and small business in the areas of taxes and accounting.
2. What inspired you to start your business?
I started my business because I have always had the desire to serve. I felt that people didn't have a trust worthy source to go to in order to make sure they were taken care of when it came to finances and taxes. I have to earn people's trust so it would be detrimental to my business not to make sure that each client has a white glove experience once they are in my care, so that's my ultimate goal in dealing with each client I have and hope to have in the future.
3. What's one thing you wish someone would have told you about starting a business?
It's more to having a business then just doing the activity of the business. You have to be all things and a lot of times it's overwhelming and stressful, but I'm enjoying the journey of stretching out of my comfort zone and seeing all my hard work paying off.
4. What one piece of advice would you give to someone starting out?
Be ok with feeling overwhelmed and wanting to quit, just don't quit. Don't let one stop you from saying it's hard you have to release that energy so you can find the push and drive to keep going.
5. What are you working on in 2022?
I am working on making myself better for me, my family and my business and all these things will return to me all that I need to be successful and prosperous.
