And, if that wasn’ t enough, Collette is trying to establish“ franchise” opportunities for people interested to start their own Collettey’ s franchise and she insists she will be on-site for the first month to train staff.( Rosemary insists Collette wants to be on-site because she must have everything dome properly and to protect the brand. Hmmm. Not a bad thing!) The true premise behind offering these business opportunities is that Collette believes in empowering people with disabilities to live more independently and being employed is a major step towards that independence.
But, why stop there? Who knew there were actually more than 24 hours in a day? Well, it would seem this dynamic duo of Rosemary and Collette found them because soon Collette will appear in a reality-type show called,“ Born for Business” which will feature Collette and her busy day-to-day, reallife, goings on. Filming has completed and the show will air on a major outlet soon, and Season Two begins filming soon. When does Collette and her mom find time to sleep?
Collette does confess to having some spare time and that’ s when she is able to spend time with friends having dinner and cocktails, going to concerts and sporting events, hiking, and skiing. Hard work, great time management skills, delivers a great product … And, we already know she has all the right ingredients to be a leader.
Our conversation was delightful and I do hope we stay in touch to check on the progress being made for business growth, but more importantly, to stay in touch with a new friend!
Thank you, Collette and Rosemary, for spending time with me and for sharing your story with our readers. And, don’ t forget to place your orders for fabulous cookies and more at www. Colletteys. com.
