Today we’d like to introduce you to Jovanne Bernal.
Hi Jovanne, thanks for sharing your story with us. To start, maybe you can tell our readers some of your backstory.
I was 18 years old in college studying to be a surgeon and was working for my Dad as an Electrician.
I started mowing lawns with my parent’s mower, weedwhacker and broom. I door knocked every day for two years and knocked on over 40-60 doors a day.
There were some days where people would slam their doors in my face and others where everyone would say yes.
Slowly, lawn mowing became minor landscaping jobs that evolved into what we do today.
Outdoor Living Construction
What got me to where I am today is:
Consistency, The ability to Problem solve quickly, and just showing up everyday. Which is half the battle of success.
Also, having the correct mentors and surrounding myself around like-minded individuals has attributed to speeding up the process.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been a smooth road but the road has definitely been worth it.
Being in business takes sacrifices and a certain mindset/person.
I’ve missed family and friend’s parties, birthday parties, weddings, etc…
You don’t always have all the money in the world while first starting a business.
Hiring the right people and creating a team took a while but thankfully with the time and experience we have a great team now.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
We are an Outdoor Living Construction Company.
What sets us apart is our functionality in design and our love for a timeless landscape and outdoor living spaces.
We also are a one stop shop for outdoor living which is unique because instead of dealing with multiple contractors, you only deal with one.
So maybe we end on discussing what matters most to you and why?
The legacy I leave behind is what pushes me.
My legacy will carry over to my kids and family.
At the end of the day, we are nothing without family and I am grateful for mine. They are the reason why I get up and push to do more.
