THOUGHTS FROM JEANELLE:

  • Profitability has to be in the equation right off the bat, which includes learning to do the forecasting and presenting it to investors to fund the business if necessary.
  • I have something to learn from people that are strong in any other business. It doesn’t matter what the product is, good business advice is good business advice.
  • Hire character and train skill.
  • My whys are my love of textiles, the thrill of uncertainty and risk, and the thrill of build and creativity for both products and teams. I love collaborative efforts.
  • It’s important to document your why. This can help with awareness of opportunities and writing it down can put dimension to it.
  • Probability is the resource I can use to serve my why, and financial profitability is the goal of the business and the business serves my why.
