Amidst the challenges of launching my business during the uncertain and transformative times of the COVID-19 pandemic, meditation became a vital anchor. It offered me space for reflection and personal growth in the often solitary journey of entrepreneurship. It was through my meditation teacher that I was introduced to Joshua Pollock. Remarkably, my has business flourished over three years solely through referrals—a true testament to the power of the universe. Here’s how my first conversation with Joshua organically evolved into a client relationship.
Reflecting on My First Conversation with Joshua Pollock
When Joshua Pollock first reached out as a client, he was grappling with an incredibly complex tax situation.
Joshua: "Every few years, I find myself in a new location or country, and my taxes have become complicated. One of the tax professionals I consulted quoted me $7,500 just to handle my taxes. I was leaving the USA in two months, had an LLC to manage, and was feeling slightly stressed and overwhelmed by this. Is there a way you can look into this?"
Me: "Let me review your returns, past company records, and other relevant information. I'll need to understand the complexity of your situation, but based on what you've shared, I can assure you that we will reasonably. We will certainly find a more reasonable solution."
A Friendship Beyond Business
Joshua’s story extends far beyond our initial interaction. His travels and writing takes him around the world, with frequent visits to India, where he has lived for extended periods. I was deeply intrigued and impressed by his experiences, which added significant depth to his already inspiring journey. Within a few weeks, Joshua found such profound relief from the stress of dealing with his taxes that, after we took on his work at 2 Cherry Tax, he promptly sent me a heartfelt note along with a copy of his book. This gesture remains a touching reminder of his gratitude.
