Today we’d like to introduce you to Jenelle Knox-Francois.
Hi Jenelle, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
When working in Corporate America and being a part of other organizations, oftentimes people came to me when they couldn’t find something or couldn’t figure out something that was complex. Usually having the ability to help them, I didn’t realize that such things came natural for me. Like most of us, things that come natural to us are typically overlooked until we come to a point in our lives where we realize that what we are doing is not our passion or someone sees such strengths in us and encourages us to pursue them.
After having spent 13 months in Cosmetology School and thinking that I had a “passion” for hair, I realized that I was wrong. As I was working in a hair salon, one day, when it was extremely slow, I realized this is not what I was passionate about. So as I sat there, I began to talk to God and I said, “God, what else is there that I can do with my hands to make money?” and He reminded me of my strong Administrative and Organizational skills that I have acquired over the years. So in that very moment, I said, “Ah-ha, you are right” So the conversation went on as such, “So can you give me a name for the business?”… and that’s when I heard, “Let’s OrderNize.” I immediately went to Vista Print and created my business cards. I didn’t even know what to call myself… My first cards said: Let’s OrderNize. Keeping your files in order.
And I titled myself an Independent Consultant. Nothing said anything about being a Professional Organizer because, again, I didn’t even know what to call myself. After I received my business cards, I remember this as if it were yesterday, I made ONE post (no further post or any type of advertising, not even word of mouth to others was made outside of this ONE post) on the Black Business Orlando Facebook Page on April 3, 2019, and on October 22, 2019, I received a call from my first and on-going client. Since that time, business has increased and more people are finding out about Let’s OrderNize, LLC and I am extremely grateful!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road hasn’t been smooth, I feel like most entrepreneur’s may have had some experience on their journey where there were things that they were unaware of and quite clueless about, especially someone in my case who started their business by faith. Some of the struggles that have come along the way were things like not knowing what I needed to start my business. Registering with Sunbiz.org, obtaining an EIN number, having a look for my brand and many other things were unbeknownst to me. Another challenge was not having an example to follow of someone who is a business owner, particularly a family member. Thank God for bringing Dr. Nicole Ross into my life. First, she was a hair client (and still is) but she is also my Business Coach and there are so many things that I did not know about business until I began to plug in with her business, New Perspective Consulting Services, LLC. Having connected with Dr. Ross and others along the way, have turned my obstacles into bridges.
