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 .
