We had the good fortune of connecting with Dr. Gwennetta Wright and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dr. Gwennetta, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
It has been two key habits that have significantly contributed to my success. First, I make a weekly task list every Sunday by reviewing my goals for the next 30 days and deciding on the next steps for each goal for the upcoming week. This helps me create a clear set of tasks for the next seven days, keeping my time organized and ensuring I stay on track with my daily tasks and long-term goals. Second, I wake up early, usually between 5 and 6 a.m. This early start allows me to work without the usual distractions of calls and texts, giving me 2 to 4 hours of focused, productive time. These morning hours are crucial for my productivity and have greatly contributed to my achievements.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
My business, Xpert Tax Service LLC, has been operating for the past 18 years with locations in Columbus and Atlanta, GA. We offer tax preparation services for individuals and small businesses not only in person but also virtually across all 50 states through our website, www.xperttaxservices.com. Our primary goal is to minimize our clients’ tax liabilities by identifying deductions and credits they are eligible for, helping them to either receive a refund, break even, or reduce the taxes they owe. Besides tax preparation, we provide notary services, business consulting, and BOI Filing. Our commitment to excellent customer service and educating our clients about their tax situations has earned us numerous awards.

Building and sustaining Xpert Tax Service for nearly two decades has been challenging, dealing with issues like capital, team building, IRS complications, and more. I’ve overcome these obstacles through prayer and perseverance, always pushing through the tough times with the belief that better days lie ahead. One key lesson I’ve learned is to trust your instincts; ignoring them has often led to undesirable outcomes. Another important takeaway is the need to adapt swiftly. With the constant changes in the business environment, being flexible and ready to pivot is crucial for success.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My best friend Deonta Blount and I live in the same town, and when our other friends visit, we like to keep things relaxed. We’d probably start our morning with brunch and mimosas at a place like Breakfast Boys. After that, we might enjoy a massage and some self-care at The Art of Touch. To cap off the night, we’d likely check out the nightlife at Sidebar Atlanta or BackStage.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First off, I have to give a big shout out to God! He has been my rock throughout this journey, and without His grace and mercy, I wouldn’t be where I am today, doing what I love. Next, I want to thank my partners, management team, my best friend Deonta Blount, and my sister Tiffany Wright. Their sacrifices have been crucial in my entrepreneurship journey. Without their support and balance, I don’t know if I would have come this far. They’ve stood by me in my weakest moments, prayed with me, and have wholeheartedly believed in and supported my vision, both financially and physically. They are truly my pillars, and I am thankful for them every day—they are amazing. Lastly, I want to recognize all of my teams at Xpert Tax Service LLC, Pretty Essentials, Reach 4 Your Dreamz Inc, and GBC Media LLC. Thank you all for your dedication and hard work.
