We're talking with Jamie Kern Lima! Jamie is the founder of IT Cosmetics. She and her husband Paulo started IT in their living room in 2008. Through a long road of overcoming the tough knocks and naysayers… they were able to build it into the #1 luxury makeup brand in the United States! Not only that but they were able to sell IT to L'Oréal for over a billion dollars… and… as they did… Jamie became the first female CEO in L'Oréal's 100+ year history. It's an incredible story… that Jamie chronicles in her brand new book, “ “Believe It - How to go from underestimated to unstoppable!” We talk about the journey… but more importantly… we dig into the backstory of how she got clear on this dream… how she found ways to dump the doubt… and defy the naysayers… to do it her own way. It's an inspiring and very raw conversation. Plus... Jamie tells us a heartfelt story she doesn't typically share about the specific and surprising “nudge” she got the first day she set foot in her brand new office! It shocked her… but also set her up for this next exciting chapter in her life. I loved this convo and I think you will too!

MORE ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Jamie Kern Lima didn't grow up sitting at the “cool kids table.” She was dismissed because she didn't look like what people told her she needed to look like. But… she'll be the first to tell you that it was tough and felt like a “set back” at the time… but later she realized all of that was a “set up” for an amazing future. That's because when she and her husband Paulo started IT Cosmetics… they did it in a way that industry experts said would NEVER work. As a result, she was shut out. She was turned down. She was told “NO more times than she could count. But they stayed with it. And as they did… they featured REAL women of REAL beauty in the REAL world. She pushed through and went from the underestimated… dismissed underdog… to become an unstoppable force for good that she is today.

Jaime Jorge began playing the violin at the age of five. Born and raised in communist Cuba, he was given many opportunities-including an offer to study in Russia at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music in Moscow with some of the greatest musicians of our time-if only he and his family would renounce their belief in God. They refused. When Jaime was ten, miraculously, his family was given the opportunity to leave the country. Despite his musical gift, he dreamed of being a missionary doctor, but in 1996, he left medical school and a promising medical career to follow God's call to devote his life to full-time music ministry. Since 1988 he has traveled over six million air miles and has played on six continents and in over 110 countries. He's played in thatch-roofed huts for a handful of people, in high school gyms and auditoriums, simple and elaborate churches, fancy cathedrals, stadiums, as well as in Carnegie Hall and The Lincoln Center. No matter the venue, his desire is to share Jesus through music and testimony, and bring people closer to Christ. He has recorded and released 17 albums.

Jaime has been running his bookkeeping business for the past two years and has acquired 13 clients in that time. He’s hoping to get more clients and continue growing, but it’s a scary thing to think about. [3:10] When Jaime first started, he was going to partner with a friend of his that had a degree in Bookkeeping. He discovered that a lot of random tasks end up on your plate as a bookkeeper and felt that he just didn’t want to work for someone else anymore. His friend wasn’t ready to make the leap at the same time though, and Jaime decided to go out on his own. He discovered that he was in over his head and looked for help; when he found Bookkeeper Business Launch, it changed his business. [7:10] After signing up for the course in April, Jaime got his first client in June. He reached out to his former colleagues who had ventured out to create their own firms and one of them said yes. [9:00] One of his clients has been very influential in helping Jaime find new clients. He has referred Jaime to a number of individuals and created new connections for him. It’s important to have as many referral sources as you can. [11:10] Jaime had to overcome his fear and negative mindset before starting his business. We are all limited by fear but we have to bust through it. [12:20] One of Jaime’s biggest challenges was something that many people might find easy, putting a photo of himself online. When Jaime got started, he didn’t know that he would be serving attorneys but it ultimately worked out really well. [16:00] Jaime enjoys putting the puzzle of a client’s messy books together. It’s one of the few tasks in bookkeeping that has a definitive end point. One of Jaime’s least favorite activities is receipt management. [19:10] Jaime has been really challenged with his systems recently. He recently lost a contractor and has found that the systems he has in place may not be sufficient. In many ways, this is actually a good problem to have and should be celebrated. [23:00] Jaime started documenting things via screen sharing. He would record himself doing the task and then upload the video to Dropbox. Processes before people, the processes that Jaime has developed have been largely the same for all of his clients. It’s important to limit the procedures that you have that are unique to one particular client, which is one of the advantages of operating in a specific niche. [27:25] When handing off the receipt management task to a contractor, Jaime realized that he didn’t really explain what he wanted accurately enough so he found the contractor was making a lot of the same mistakes. In the beginning, it’s important to spend more time holding their hands and walking them through the way you want something to be done. [31:00] We often try to bite off more than we can chew. You should offload one task at a time, not look for the perfect person for every task. When you bring someone on board, they will not care about your business as much as you do. Give them a small puzzle to work on and get rid of the tasks with the lowest hourly value first. Handing off too much at one time is recipe for disaster. Don’t hire by client, hire by task. [37:30] Overloading a new hire is a big mistake. Give them one task to master, then once they’ve got that down, give them more to work on. [39:20] Jaime’s first contractor was a virtual assistant that did some simple tasks like managing email that he found in a Facebook group. One of his favorite ways of getting to know a potential hire is asking them, “What Star Wars character would you be and why?” Ben recommends asking the unique questions because one thing he has discovered is that the people with prior bookkeeping experience usually come with bad habits that you have to work to fix. [44:45] People want to work in fun places with people they like. Bookkeeping is a relationship business. Going after trained bookkeepers isn’t the best approach. You may train someone and they leave, but that is just the nature of the game. Set the relationship up right before you hire, put them into real world situations that they will actually experience and see how they work. [48:15] Never stop hiring, and never stop marketing. You never want your pipeline to run dry. [48:45] Give your team a say in how the work gets done. You want your team to take ownership of their work and to treat your clients with respect. If it doesn’t work with one person, you’ve learned something that you can take to the next person. Once you master this concept, you can scale up your business. [51:52] Jaime’s homework assignments are to celebrate his wins and start putting potential hires through the real world tasks they are going to be taking on. Mentioned in this Episode: Paralledger

Jaime Jay: An Entrepreneur Who Knows How to Pivot Jaime Jay is the Founder and Managing Director of the virtual company Bottleneck Virtual Assistants. Bottleneck offers professional growth opportunities for ambitious business owners and executives through remote teams of assistants. But before his success with Bottleneck, Jaime was an amateur hockey player and starter geek who founded Slapshot Studio in 2013. He wanted a business that combined his life of hockey with building websites. The Slapshot Studio brand was born. Then came a pivot. At his core, Jaime is a connector of personalities and brands who constantly challenges himself to be a better human being.

Head to SprocketTalk.com/WG to join the movement and get an exclusive Wayfinding Growth deal! A Long Journey to Overnight Success In 2006 Jaime Jay started an advertising and marketing agency in the real estate niche in Stockton, California. The business was a partnership with a friend who owned a real estate agency and saw the need for ads and marketing for agents. As a marketer and website developer, Jaime was a great fit. Jaime's partner Mariano had moved to the U.S. from the Philippines. "He had the relationships and knew the work culture," Jaime says. The business was built with remote workers long before international virtual assistants were popular. For a couple years, the partners found great success together helping real estate agents with their branding, marketing and advertising. Then when the 2008 recession hit and real estate took a turn, Jaime found himself shuttering the business. "We lost 70 clients in the span of three months." At 38 years old, Jaime had to move back in with his parents. While owning that first business, he says he spent instead of saved, lived paycheck to paycheck and just enjoyed himself. Fast forward nearly ten years and Jaime now has his own virtual, remote-work based business with clients around the world. The Podcast Pivot Stop Riding the Pine (SRTP) Podcast is Jaime's podcast designed for business leaders who want to overcome workplace barriers, transcend changes, and perform at their best. The name of the podcast is based on a sports analogy for 'get off the bench.' As an amateur hockey player who has created several successful businesses with his DIY attitude and a drive to accomplish an education-based dialog, the term fit. In the beginning, Stop Riding the Pine (SRTP), was created to interview leaders in the industry to share their marketing tips and strategies. When Jaime started Bottleneck, his world was less about marketing and changed to focus more on culture. So after about four years, he decided to pivot and start a new show, Culture Eats Strategy. "I was seeing what an influence it was on our company to make culture present... front and center." - Jaime Jay on Culture Eats Strategy The journey of encouraging a purposeful culture at a virtual company helped Jaime create the conversations that would become his new podcast. It's a great reason to make a pivot.
