From Zero to Global

From Zero to Global: An Immigrant's Journey

How One Immigrant Woman Rose from Poverty to CEO and Built a Life of Purpose, Power, and Possibility

by Zhen Tao

She came to America with broken English, no money, and a dream bigger than the village she left behind.

What she built wasn't luck. It was grit, faith, and the courage to keep going.

In this powerful memoir, spa CEO and global entrepreneur Zhen Tao shares her journey from rural poverty in China to building a purpose-driven business in the United States. From Zero to Global isn't just her story; it is a guide, a mirror, and a call to every reader who has ever felt invisible, stuck, or left behind.

Born into silence and hardship, Zhen was shaped by hunger, loss, and the trauma of China's one-child policy. After surviving abandonment, grief, and cultural isolation, she learned how to turn pain into power and rebuild from the inside out. Along the way, she became a business owner, a leader, and a voice for others like her.

This book is for anyone who:

• Is an entrepreneur tired of burnout and ready to lead with vision

• Feels stuck in survival mode and wants to create real freedom

• Has ever felt unheard, unseen, or unworthy of success

• Wants to build something meaningful without losing themselves

Inside this inspiring book, you will learn:

• How to rise from adversity and reclaim your voice

• How to build, systemize, and grow a business rooted in purpose

• How to use your story as your brand and your superpower

• Why your background is not a weakness but your greatest gift

Whether you are starting over, starting from nothing, or just starting to believe in yourself again, this book will remind you that you are not too late, too small, or too broken to begin.

You do not need a perfect start. You only need one brave decision.

I will not give up on myself.
