Today we’d like to introduce you to Miss Taj.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Miss. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Being a child with an active imagination and a thirst for knowledge, my life journey started out with a lot of daydreaming. I became an avid reader and developed a great respect for the power of words. Born with an ear for music, I became obsessed with exploring all genres and the history they entailed. I then realized a natural gift of movement and set out to study and develop this talent which led to a very fulfilling career in dance.
I believe that I was born with an entrepreneurial spirit. I can only ever remember allowing myself to dream and pursuing them with the hard work and necessary dedication. I have spent my life encouraging others to do the same.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Anytime a human being sets out on the humble pursuit of achievement, there are always obstacles or challenges along the way, such is life. I have written books about this subject. There is always someone to attempt to tell you, who you can and cannot be. But the reality is that you must remember who you are. Your happiness is not dependent on someone else’s opinion or measure.
I believe that each of us has a purpose in life. It is up to us to take the time to discover, nurture and set goals for our gifts.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about MissTaj.com – what should we know?
As a Sommelier I offer master service in the world of wine. As an entrepreneur, it was also important to me to learn the multifaceted internal functioning tiers of the wine business as a whole. In doing so I discovered unique ways to integrate my skills in a range of services offered to the international market of import/export, distribution, sales, on/off premise providers and private collectors. I offer service training, pour service and expert analysis to a diverse client base.
Because my life purpose is human communication, my job is to hold safe space, guarantee results and have the ability to listen and customize service. Whether it’s a large scale corporate function or an intimate group or panel discussion, the intention is the same; to be organized, approachable and fun!
I possess a unique way of combining my skill set. My approach to the art and science of wine is fresh and original. Being an author, dancer and sommelier has helped me truly understand my mission in life. And is exactly word, wine and movement.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Integrity has been the pillar of my business brand philosophy. If I commit to anything, trust that it will inevitably be finished. Thus an example of the true power behind words.
