Jelani Jones is only 9 years old and is the fourth grade but has already accomplished so much in her life. Jelani is a great example of true entrepreneurial spirit. She is the founder of Lani Boo Bath. Lani Boo Bath is a company that sells different types of soaps and bath bombs. Jelani had the idea to start this business simply from one experience she had making bath bombs. She had the chance to learn form someone how to make them and together they made a few bath bombs for fun. Jelani had so much fun in fact that she went home and continued to do research and find her own way to make bath bombs and improve upon them. Together with her family Jelani bought the supplies to start producing bath bombs and her company grew form there.
I love that Jelani started this company simply because it was something that she loved doing. I think it is best if entrepreneurs focus on something they themselves are passionate about that way they will have the motivation to put as much effort in that they need to they their ideas rolling.
Jelani’s company started small. Just by selling to friends and family, and it slowly grew into small online shops on Etsy and Facebook. Today her sops and bath bomb selections have expanded, and she continues to create new ideas that she would love to see come to life. I think that Jelani has the entrepreneurial mindset to do just that. At such a young age, to be able to stay focused and motived to start a company and keep it going is really impressive. Not only that but she continues to develop ways for Lani Boo Bath to expand.
I find it very impressive that Jelani is only 9 years old. She has so much potential and I’m sure she will continue to create and innovate all throughout her life. I like how she started selling to friends and family which eventually grew into an Etsy and Facebook shop. This is a great example of a business growing slowly and how important it is to trust the process and have patience.
