JANE

My mom & dad were not businesspeople, but they sure knew how efficiencies made everything flow. I inherited their love for records, systems & a plan for everything. My bosses were always happy to receive reports from me, neatly done & on time. It served me well in business, but I forgot about the WORK - I was so busy working, I forget to take time for yourself & was never sure my business was profitable... I have been a teacher, coach, lifeguard, fitness trainer, & office manager. At least once a year, in any of those jobs I heard "Could you wait to cash that paycheck?" Even as a business owner, when it was tight, my partner & I skipped a paycheck so there would be enough to pay the staff. I knew there had to be an better way but change is scary. We accepted "status quo" to "get the job done" because "this is what we do"... I have spent over 30 years in the hospitality and event management industries, which allowed me to work with and for many restauranteurs, caterers, and chefs...
