We recently connected with Jennifer Bennett and have shared our conversation below.
Jennifer, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Some of the most interesting parts of our journey emerge from areas where we believe something that most people in our industry do not – do you have something like that?
Lots of business owners make a big mistake by not letting others help them with work. This is called delegation, and it’s super important. When you don’t delegate, you might get too tired, and your business might not grow well. But when you share tasks with your team, you can focus on the most important things, work faster, and have a better balance between work and life. It’s like having a strong team of superheroes who can help your business become even better! I’ve seen businesses fail because they didn’t want to share tasks with their team. They had this idea that “no one can do it better” than they could. But here’s the thing, even though you might be really good at something, you can’t do everything all by yourself. When you don’t let your team help, it can make your business weaker.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My name is Jennifer Bennett, and I have been on an entrepreneurial journey since 23. Coming from a family with a rich history of entrepreneurship, I am proud to be a 3rd generation entrepreneur with 15 years of sales experience and 5 years of expertise in creating social media ads. My passion for teaching and mentoring has led me to train over 2,000 real estate agents in sales, marketing, and follow-up strategies for the past 3 years. Currently, I own and operate an Executive Operations Team company. I am always happy to connect with anyone who wants to brainstorm and share ideas.
Have you ever had to pivot?
I was in the Real Estate industry and it was Covid times when my mom and I decided to start Get Desky.
We’d love to hear about how you met your business partner.
Many found it quite unusual, but the truth is, my business partner is none other than my mom – a unique partnership that defies the norm and showcases the strength of family in entrepreneurship.
