Experience can be the best teacher. When Tadarius had his identity stolen, he took control of the situation, repaired his credit, and learned the fundamentals of credit scores. He soon became a resource to his friends and family.  “A lot of people look at it as just credit repair, but you have to learn the ins and outs of what actually goes into a great score and what to do to help someone go from a bad to a good score”. Tadarius is now certified as a credit score consultant, a credit repair specialist, a financial planner and he is working on his life coach certification to round out his professional toolkit. In June of 2020, he launched his credit repair business and is actively recruiting clients. Running his own business is rewarding after years struggling to find work that made full use of the skills he got in the military and on the job.  Tadarius believes customer service, time management and a willingness to work with authority figures are the skills that will make him a successful business owner. When asked about the necessity of a college degree in his line of work, he says, “I think learning from other business owners and people who have already done it has been a lot better than going to the classroom.”
