Hi Everyone, my name is Jamie R. Wright. I am a proud native of NE Oklahoma and currently live in Houston, Texas!

I am the mother of two adult daughters and I love traveling, reading, volunteering, and DFW Swingout Dancing.

Oprah once quoted ‘You’ve got to follow your passion – You’ve got to figure out what it is you love – who you really are. And have the courage to do that. I believe that the only courage anybody ever needs is the courage to follow your own dreams.” Please share, how you had the courage to follow your own dreams.

Tell us what the word “Entrepreneur” means to you?

What has been the biggest lesson you have learned from being an entrepreneur?

The biggest lesson I have learned being an entrepreneur is to intentionally work ‘on’ my business, not ‘in’ my business; learn to delegate/empower others.

What inspired you to start your own business, and how did you go about identifying a need in the market that your business could address?

What inspired me to start my own business is the opportunity to help myself and others create financial resources to provide for our families.

I identified a need in the market by attending business networking events and entrepreneur-based classes/seminars.

What is your favourite quote about “following your dreams”?

“I was victimized, however, I am ABSOLUTELY NOT a victim.” ~ Jamie R. Wright

What advice would you give to anyone wanting to start their own business?

Give yourself grace along the journey because you’ll absolutely need it to run the race!
