For this Accountant $60k to $120k was not enough. How Resentment turned to Millions and Her Own Firm

Stephanie, at the ripe age of 29, snagged an accounting gig in sunny Tampa, Florida, with the tantalizing promise of a salary jump from $60,000 to $100,000 after just one year. But wait for the twist - the one-year plan became a two-year odyssey, and her payday landed at $90,000 with a sprinkle of commissions.

As the company ballooned from four employees to a bustling team of 25, Stephanie was handed the Herculean task of setting up shop in Puerto Rico, bringing in an extra $2 million annually. But, when she asked for a raise, it was like speaking to a brick wall.

Burning out faster than a firecracker on the Fourth of July, Stephanie made a tough choice: she couldn't keep building someone else's dream. That's when her boss played his last card, offering her a partnership and a $120,000 paycheck - but no more commissions.

Spoiler alert: Stephanie walked away from it all and founded her own business, Taxes Tampa, and she's never looked back.
