“I grew up believing getting ahead meant marrying well.” Vanessa Shaw’s origin story might sound familiar. As a young girl, she had many unanswered questions about money, and little understanding of what options existed for her beyond being a mother and housewife. In the math classroom, she had an old-fashioned teacher that shamed her for asking questions -- which led to a lifelong aversion to math and financial statements, even after she started her own business.
With few female role models and an aversion to conversations about money, Vanessa soon found herself in a crisis when a major account ended and her accountant called her into the office to warn her of impending bankruptcy.
“Nothing will change until you change.” Vanessa brings us to the lowest point in her career -- the moment when she lost a big contract, and more than 85% of her income. The shame she felt in this moment made her realize that something needed to change - and it had to start with her.
Vanessa hired a coach, educated herself, and changed her mindset. Along the way, she discovered that she wasn’t alone. In fact, many women shared the same challenges. With so many struggling female entrepreneurs, Vanessa saw an opportunity to make a difference, and The Business Growth Academy was born.
