The interview

Who are you and what program level are you in?

Hi, my name is Jay Gendron. I'm in the Activate Level of Momentum, and this is my very first year in the program.

What are you celebrating today?

I'm celebrating making my first sale ever. I'm excited to be celebrating my first sale because it's been a dream of mine to get into entrepreneurship.

What was your personal motivation for starting this business?

I wanted to be a role model for my adult children, who I think in this day and age, it'd be so great if they could see someone starting a business based on their dreams.

How did the coaching impact your progress?

I'm so excited about making my first sale because without the guidance of good coaches, it could just probably take forever. And it really feels gratifying to know that not only do you make the first sale, but that it's serving someone.

How did you come up with your business idea?

I'm a purposeful entrepreneur with an accidental offer. In 2022, I was doing a self reflection, just an ordinary end of year December thing, and I wrote down four words: I am a writer. It completely changed my image of myself from being a person who liked to write to a writer who does other things.

What specific service do you provide to your clients?

Now I help people get their story out into a memoir so that they can achieve their dream, but they don't have to write and they don't have to worry. It is a really cool story of finding oneself in an accidental way.

How long have you wanted to be an entrepreneur?

After over ten years of admiring entrepreneurs, I finally became one!
