The only podcast out there that outlines amazing immigrant entrepreneurs' journeys. Immigrants are building the economy in America every single day. This show was born to inspire all immigrants who want to become entrepreneurs. Immigrants bring the fire, the drive and the compassion to build communities around them, and to create economies. They build jobs, create amazing opportunities, give back in some unimaginable ways and make America great. I came from Russia and my entrepreneur spirit stems from my dad. He came to America with $600 in his pocket and got paid $8/hour on his first job. He later decided to start his own business doing HVAC and never stopped. He's been in business for over 20 years and never looked back.

76: Esmeralda Todorova came to US at 18 years old by herself, now running a successful bookkeeping company
Immigrant Entrepreneur: Esmeralda Todorova
Esmeralda came to New York when she was 18 years old. Coming from a very small town in Bulgaria, she had no idea what she was getting into. On her first week being in New York, she was so close to hopping back on the plane and going back home. Handling the New York lifestyle was a lot to take on as an immigrant and being all alone.
Her original plan was to get her Accounting bachelor's degree and then go back home, but when her parents decided to move from Bulgaria she decided to stay in U.S. to pursue her master's degree in Accounting as well.
During her corporate career Esmeralda realized that she was not living up to her American dream so she decided to work on launching her bookkeeping business, EDT Bookkeeping and Tax. She launched her business during COVID and she wishes she started her business a lot earlier!
She's excited to share her journey to success to entrepreneurship and provide value by serving her clients with her tax and accounting expertise.
