We had the good fortune of connecting with Janelle Cato and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Janelle, what’s the most important thing you’ve done for your children?
I have three children. 11,7,5. All of my children are employees of my business and at their young ages they all know how to work on and work in the business to a certain degree. I believe it is important for my children to see me building something outside of a job that I was given, I think it is important for them to see me give out jobs, work hard (as I still work a full-time job) and build something from the ground up. It will teach them that anything is possible with God and hard work. Also, I pray that they have triple the success I will have in this lifetime. Ownership is key!

What should our readers know about your business?
I feel my determination sets me apart from a lot of people. I never take no for an answer in something that I feel belongs to me. I am excited about the projected growth of my business and the establishment of legacy. I got where I am today doing a lot on my own but not soley. God has blessed me with some very supportive people near and far. I have had friends from all over the world visit my business just to shop with me! Overcoming challenges is a daily thing and I have learned many lessons on the way. The key is to learn from your mistakes. I have made plenty. I want the world to know that I will be a household name and that if I can do it, you can too.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
We would go to a mexican restaurant. Right now, I am highly anticipating the grand opening of Ay For Dios so I’m sure we would go there for food and drinks! I am mostly a homebody but I love good food. Also, we may head over to Niito’s open mic night at little city brewery!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My story is dedicated to my children. Alicia, Ashlynn, and Christian
