Her life changed when she gave birth to her son Oscar<\/span>Credit: Jam Press\/Shani Tayler<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Her “unstable and chaotic” family life led her to struggle with a serious drug abuse problem.<\/p>\n

Shani, then 16, was thrown from her home and forced to couch surf or sleep on the cold streets.<\/p>\n

Shani says her son Oscar, who was born in her 20s and early 30s, changed her life.<\/p>\n

Shani has never graduated from high school. She managed to find a job as a recruiter and eventually worked her way into a managerial role.<\/p>\n

The mother-of-one finally decided to get clean and pursue a career.<\/p>\n

Shani enrolled at an university as a mature adult student to continue her education. She studied sociology.<\/p>\n

She completed her law postgraduate in only two years rather than three and then began to climb the corporate ladder.<\/p>\n

Shani took an entrepreneurship course during her university studies. This inspired her to be her own boss.<\/p>\n

The woman said, “I couldn’t imagine going back to work for another company and working at an office.” 7Life<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Open To Grace is the business consulting firm that she runs as a single mother. She provides guidance to businesses in order for them to flourish.<\/p>\n

She worked 18 hours per day for seven days.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlmost everything else in my life was put on hold so I could fully immerse myself in creating my life the way I wanted it,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She said that she made a huge five-figure income in her first 30 business days. Now, three years after, it is valued at seven figures.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, I have more money than I\u2019ve ever had before, more time freedom than I\u2019ve ever had, and a business that serves people all around the world,” she said.<\/p>\n

This comes after a self-made millionaire revealed his secret to earning \u00a3156,000 a month by the age of 30.<\/p>\n

A 27-year-old self made millionaire has hit back at those who have called her idea for a business “stupid”.<\/p>\n
