In this powerful episode of Entrepreneurial Truth, we sit down with CPA and entrepreneur Nancy Bennett, who shares her raw, unfiltered journey from failure to success. After five failed businesses, no mentors, and hitting rock bottom during the Great Recession, Nancy made one life-changing decision: to stop being a victim and take full ownership of her life.
