We were lucky to catch up with Tabitha Lewis recently and have shared our conversation below.
Tabitha, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. I’m sure there have been days where the challenges of being a business owner force you to think about what it would be like to just have a regular job. When’s the last time you felt that way? Did you have any insights from the experience?
I am happier as a business owner now. Mainly, because I get to own my time. I have a choice now to spend time with my children and attend special events. I am also happier as a business owner now because I get to work with other business owners and help them along their tax and business journey. I sometime wonder what it would be like to have a regular job, but then I also think about the time restrictions I would have with my children. I think of all the birthdays, special events and moments we spend. I also think about my children future and the needs they will have moving into the college world. I also think of the many mom business owners that need that extra push to stay on track with their business too. This is what keeps me moving forward in the business I am building today.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
One statement that I had to unlearn was being told that you are thinking too big, and that a person like you will not need to go after what you are trying to accomplish. That was one statement that bothered me, and had to unlearn.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
I think what help me build my reputation within my market is for one coming to the table with a heart. Listening first, before speaking. I have learned that if you just listen, you will know what someone need from you verses trying to tell someone what they need. I also put integrity first in any business activities I do.
