I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE
Connecting with fellow entrepreneurs is one of the most rewarding aspects of running SHEfo. Allow me to introduce myself.
HI, I'MĀ JANELL
From a young age, I felt the entrepreneurial spirit coursing through my veins, though the exact industry remained a mystery. It wasn't until later that I realized my calling and embarked on the journey to turn that passion into my life's work.
MY STORY
As a shy kid, I often sought solace in the world of art, using it as my escape from reality. Despite facing financial struggles growing up, I knew that education was my ticket to a better future. Determined to pave my own path, I juggled full-time work with relentless pursuit of knowledge, ultimately earning dual master's degreesā€”a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a Master of Accounting and Financial Management (MAFM).
Nine years ago, amidst the demands of my corporate job, I made a pivotal decision: to explore entrepreneurship as a side hustle. Fueled by ambition and a desire for financial independence, I poured my heart and soul into building my own business. It was a challenging journey, marked by late nights and countless sacrifices. But seven years ago, I took the leap of faith to make entrepreneurship my full-time pursuit.
While navigating the complexities of business ownership, I continued to invest in my education, earning the prestigious Enrolled Agent (EA) designation. This further solidified my expertise in tax matters, allowing me to provide top-notch financial services to my clients.
I started my business from my dining room table, armed with nothing but a used laptop, notebook, and pencil. Yet, through determination and unwavering dedication, I transformed this humble setup into a thriving six-figure enterprise. Today, I continue to set my sights higher, with aspirations of reaching seven figures one day.
My journey is a testament to the transformative power of passion, perseverance, and lifelong learning. And now, I'm excited to share my experiences and insights with you, inspiring beauty and financial empowerment every step of the way.
WHY DO I TEACH?
I teach because I'm deeply passionate about empowering others with the knowledge and skills I've acquired through my own journey. Sharing my experiences, insights, and expertise allows me to make a positive impact on the lives of fellow entrepreneurs, helping them navigate the complexities of business ownership and achieve their goals. Teaching isn't just about imparting information; it's about fostering growth, inspiring confidence, and seeing others flourish and thrive. That's why I do what I doā€”it's incredibly fulfilling to know that I'm making a difference in the lives of others.
