At  15, Jane Olvera was told by her high school guidance counselor that her dream of owning her own business in 10 years "was not possible" because she was female, she was Latina, and she would need many more years to eventually have her own business.  His biases and discouragement were exactly what it took to motivate her to not only reach that goal, but to now be a successful and award-winning business owner and leader.   In 1993, she was crowned Miss California USA, and was driven by a tough Director who also played a key role in the inspiration Jane needed to succeed.  Part of her message on this podcast is to have gratitude for those who challenge us, or tell us something can't be done.  For Jane, it has motivated her to succeed and to lead her organization.   Visit www.jpmktg.com to learn more about how Jane and her team can help you be more successful and to stand out from the crowd!
