Anne believes unprecedented growth is due to believing in providing a team of experts to their clients at an affordable and flat-fee rate so that their clients have the peace of mind of knowing the Largo Group is only a phone call away. In the early days of the pandemic, Anne pivoted The Largo Group to provide hands on support for the hospitality industry that was in a free fall. Anne and her team provide free offerings to major corporations as well as individuals, which included weekly check-in sessions to provide updates on everything from cash flow to government assistance. Anne has remained committed to providing free education and assistance for many business owners as their business is their largest financial asset. In 2004 Anne became a pro golfer but quickly realized listening to CNBC and reading the Wall Street Journal that her true love was economics and business. As the daughter of a life-long entrepreneur, Anne knew her dream was to make a difference in the accounting world. Not the golf course.  Meet Your Host: Zaakirah is a cancer survivor, author, creative strategist, professional photographer, and digital marketer.

This episode is all about celebrating. This episode is not to boast, not to brag. It's only to inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and to fulfill your purpose. Grow your brand online. I did an end of year reflection in 2019. Now I reflect on 2020. This was recorded the day after my birthday. Every year around my birthday my mom encourages me to celebrate my birthday so every year there's always a huge sense of gratitude that I made it another year. I've always grown up celebrating my birthday all month long.  So I spent my birthday, surrounded by a handful of loved ones, but a lot of virtual lovers.  Previous Episodes Mentioned: How I Managed My Difficult Divorce https://livinglegacypodcast.com/how-i-managed-my-dificult-divorce Why I Moved to Atlanta https://livinglegacypodcast.com/why-i-moved-to-atlanta-georgia Emotional Eating https://livinglegacypodcast.com/episode-20-emotional-eating-with-aizya-ali-mohammed The episode is Sponsored by: Phocused Media Group founded by Zaakirah.
