Venturing Out Into the Deep of Entrepreneurship, with Javette Nixon

It is time for another episode. I am Heneka Watkis-Porter, the host and creator of The Entrepreneurial You podcast. Welcome back to my regular listeners and a special welcome to you if you are tuning in for the first time. Last week I had a great time with Ricardo Allen of One on One Educational Services. Man, what a story of inspiration. Can you imagine walking to school bare-footed and having guineps for dinner? It is surely not about where you start but where you want to go. This week, I am talking with another long-time colleague who was a sponsor of The Entrepreneurial You radio edition via Vein Centres of Jamaica. We were also competitors on a reality TV series vying for capital for our businesses. Before I bring him on, let me thank those who make the mare go. They continue to support The Entrepreneurial You: Jamaica Public Service Company Ltd, The National Peoples Co-operative Bank of Jamaica Limited, Profit Jumpstarter, and The Jamaica Stock Exchange whose podcast, The Jamaica Stock Exchange & You, is hosted and produced by me. Do give it a listen as well. My guest on episode 280 of The Entrepreneurial You is Javette Nixon. Javette is the Founder, Chairman & CEO of Seaforth Holdings Limited a diversified investment and holding company which focuses on impact investing and the development of emerging businesses & social enterprises. Seaforth Holdings' portfolio companies currently include Point Global Marketing Limited, Esther Ventures Limited, and Esther Finance Limited. Javette is also a director of Vein Centers of Jamaica Ltd and the Social & Economic Alliance for Development.  Opening business Tip courtesy of the National PC Bank of Jamaica:  Get Organized - successful businesses are built on organization. This can either make or break your business. Without organization, tasks can pile up and you can lose valuable money and time. PODCAST REVIEW: Great Variety of Guests!
