From Zero to Global: A Dream Realized, A Story Shared

July 18, 20252 min read

There are moments in life when everything slows down and you realize—you’re standing in the middle of a dream you once thought was impossible.

That moment came for me on the evening of my official book launch in San Antonio.

The room was filled with people I deeply admire—friends, family, clients, fellow entrepreneurs, and new faces who believed in something I once feared to speak out loud: my story matters. And so does yours.

A Story I Never Thought I’d Write

Years ago, when a close friend told me, “Zhen, you need to write your story,” I laughed it off. I was a working immigrant woman trying to find my footing in a new country, building a life from scratch while carrying the weight of doubt, fear, and survival. I didn’t see myself as an author. I didn’t believe my voice was strong enough.

But over time, I realized: If I’ve come this far—why not further?
If I’ve overcome the odds, what’s stopping me from helping someone else believe they can too?

That’s why I wrote From Zero to Global—to share the full journey. Not just the polished success, but the hard days, the cultural gaps, the business mistakes, the moments I almost gave up, and most importantly, the wins I earned by not quitting.

What You’ll Find in This Book

This book isn’t just a memoir. It’s a blueprint of real transformation.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode, questioned your worth, or wondered if your dreams are too big for your current reality—this book was written for you.

You’ll learn:

  • How to lead your life and business with resilience, even when your background, language, or experience feels like a disadvantage.

  • Why your personal story is your most powerful brand, and how to own it unapologetically.

  • The mindset shifts that took me from broke and invisible to building multiple businesses and mentoring others worldwide.

  • How faith, strategy, and community can rebuild your self-worth—and scale your vision.

This book is part memoir, part masterclass. And whether you’re building a beauty brand, launching a startup, leading a team, or simply trying to heal and grow—you’ll find something here to strengthen your next step.

Thank You for Being Part of the Journey

To every single person who showed up at the launch, supported from afar, sent messages, or simply said, “Zhen, I’m proud of you”thank you.

Your encouragement reminded me that this story isn’t just mine anymore. It belongs to anyone who’s ever felt invisible. Anyone who’s ever started from scratch. Anyone daring to become more.

And to those who are just discovering me or the book—welcome. I hope this story moves you, stretches you, and reminds you what’s possible when you rise with intention.

This is just the beginning.

With gratitude and courage,
Zhen Tao
