We had the good fortune of connecting with Miah Thompson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Miah, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
The thought process behind starting my own business was pretty reflective and innovative. I wanted to find a different way to achieve a better lifestyle. Working on someone else’s clock at a low pay grade could only grant me the bare minimum. If I could name two things I spent a lot of that I could not get back, I’d say time and money. The only solution I could think of was entrepreneurial freedom. That way I could set my own limits for the amount of money I’d like to make and do it in my own time.

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?
GLOW Tax Pro was created to give people the opportunity to have a better relationship with money. GLOW stands for “Generate a Lifetime of Wealth”. In order to do so, there has to be discipline and boundaries. The fact that I am on this journey along with everyone sets me apart from other businesses. It shows that you and I are the same with the same goal in mind, to live a lifestyle hassle-free with great wealth. I am extremely excited about the impact GLOW will have on many people.

Mentorship, trial and error got me to where I am today business-wise. No, it was not easy. Staying focused and not being afraid to start over is how I overcame the challenges. One of the lessons I’ve learned along the way is to be open to the changes that come. I want the world to know that everyone has the opportunity to GLOW, so let’s glow!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Well, I’d probably convince my best friend to join me for brunch and mimosas. There are so many great spots to choose from, but we’d probably end up going wherever the parking is good and the wait time is short. After a few good mimosas, we’d head over to The Escape Game in Atlanta. We would also enjoy one of my favorite nights at home, Taco Tuesday! Lastly, I’d include a day for massages. To sum up our week, I’d treat my best friend to a dinner date with hookah and drinks!

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?
I’d love to dedicate my shoutout to my late aunt, Pastor Shay Dillard. She is one of the reasons why I am dedicated to creating a great life for my children and I. Auntie Shay, is what I called her. She embodied love and perseverance. She showed me that authenticity and purpose will carry you to the places you are destined to go. Regardless of any obstacle or nay sayer, what’s for me is just for me. I appreciate her daily for everything she’s done for me.
