Jellaine Ross: The Mindset Behind Cherry Blooms

What this episode covers

The first time I met Jellaine was when she showed up for a CouchSurf. She was working on a travel blog then called Backpacking in Stilettos. Her mindset was fascinating back then, and where it took her is the stuff of legends. Despite debt, career and family problems she grew a million dollar business on her own. She didn’t have investors or a team to help her out. All she had was an unbreakable confidence that she would make it. That’s exactly what she did.  I’m honored to introduce, Jellaine Ross. “Law of attraction works.
