EP 102- Jesse Lee Ward: From Hot Mess to Huge Success
Jesse Lee Ward’s childhood set her up for later success as an entrepreneur — though not in the way you might think.
“I grew up with nothing. I was the kid that got made fun of for not having the right clothes, not having the right food at lunch — if there even was food at lunch,” she said. “I was the kid that couldn't go on field trips. Like, it sucked. And I'm really grateful for that. Because it made me not so much know what my ‘why’ was — a lot of people in personal development are like, ‘What’s your deep-rooted why?’ And I’m like, I don’t know! But I can tell you very clearly what I don’t want because I lived it for so long.”
After college, Jesse Lee found that she was still struggling. She was sick of the “glorification of the 9-to-5,” as well as the “glorification of going broke every two weeks.” She knew she could work hard, but not if it meant giving her everything to a job that was paying her $35,000 a year. She’d already been fired once and needed a way of making rent, fast. So, she decided to go out on a limb.
“I just googled ‘at-home businesses that make the most money,’” she said. “I went to training. I showed up. I started personal development because I was a hot mess express. And at 26, I made my first million that year, and it’s been crazy ever since.”
In this episode of the Working For a Dream Podcast, Jesse Lee tells Patrick how she made it big in network marketing after starting at zero — and how she ultimately created success on her own terms.
What You’ll Learn:
- How being told no her “whole childhood” made Jesse Lee resilient against the rejection of early entrepreneurship
- How she turned the things that make her “not a great employee” into (profitable) strengths
- What helped her to overcome her scarcity issues
- And much more!
Favorite Quote:
“When was the last time you wrote down, pen to paper, where you want to be in five years? In 10 years? This year?... When is the last time you said out loud that you have, not even that you’re going to, but that you have multiple streams of income that flow abundantly to you? You’re gonna feel like a strange, little witch. That’s fine. But the crazy thing is when you start to see yourself as a different version of yourself, your brain literally reverse-engineers the steps necessary to get there.”

Patrick Bolanos is a serial entrepreneur, business owner, and CEO of Trailer King Builders in Houston, Texas.
He was raised in Nicaragua, exposed to extreme poverty, and also had the fortune of being exposed to life in the United States traveling back and forth to both countries.
After college, Patrick’s career took him into the corporate world of banking where he learned the important lessons of understanding what you’re selling and why it’s important to believe in it.
Back in December of 2017, Patrick was fired from his job as a CFO for a Restaurant Group. With only $500 to his name, rent due, his wife, 3 children at home, and one on the way, he was forced to figure out how to pull his family out of this financial abyss that was strangling his life.
With no knowledge of how to build a trailer, Patrick simply figured all of it out and has now built it into the thriving empire of what’s now become Trailer King Builders.
