It is always a pleasure to report success stories during this difficult economy. The following story is about someone who “turned lemons into lemonade” and then sold the drink for a profit.

Let me introduce you to a wonderful lady I met in 2009. Her name is Jamie Teasdale. She became unemployed in March of 2009, when the business she was working for, closed their doors. Rather then hiding in a dark closet, Jamie decided to explore her options. She investigated purchasing a franchise, but that requires a lot of capital.

She comes from a family of businesspeople who have started companies in the past so the idea of owning a business was not foreign to her. Jamie has enjoyed business strategies and activities, while serving customers and planning events in the past. A friend of her parents simply needed more time in the day to accomplish everything, so they hired Jamie. That first customer encouraged Jamie to consider starting a business helping others.

Ms. Teasdale currently owns JJT Solutions. She specializes in assisting Small Business, Event Management and Individuals. She opened her doors in June of 2009 and currently has numerous clients. Jamie has accomplished a wide variety of projects since starting her business. So far, her company has been successful because of her attitude. Jamie is not afraid to tackle complex tasks like a wedding or even running errands for a client who has run out of time. She has also filled in, when some of her business clients have needed a project managed.

Jamie has currently replaced about 75% of her former income. She has utilized the services of other individuals as temporary contract workers and may be hiring them as employees in 2010.

You will enjoy her pleasant demeanor and intelligent input regarding your project. So if you need some temporary assistance, call Jamie.
