The Creative E-Commerce Consultant For Women Entrepreneurs: Jameela G
Jameela was literally the most cheerful person I have met in a long time. She is a mom, an entrepreneur, an e-commerce expert, and most of all someone who knows how to live her life to the fullest.
Speaking with her, you kind of end up wondering how she can do it all. But she is a master of time management and knows her priorities. Her entire career was developed because she decided that she didn’t want to be that mom who gets to see their kid just for a few hours a day. She wanted to be there for them and see them grow, all the while earning from doing something she loves.
How It All Started
When Jameela was pregnant with her first child she was sure about what she wanted in life. She wanted flexibility, enough time, and happiness. She also didn’t want to settle down with no income. So after quitting her job in an insurance company she immediately started dedicating more time to her hobby of jewelry making. This is how she started exploring the potential in the e-commerce business.
Now she travels at least 3 times a year, spends a lot of time engaging with her kids, and works on various exciting projects to earn all the money she needs. And that is exactly how everyone should be working! Work to live and not live to work.
Alora Boutique
Alora Boutique started off as a hobby. Jameela and her mom used to create jewelry for their friends and family. But soon she recognized the market as more people started inquiring and buying their products. Currently, Alora Boutique has an online brand presence and they make beautiful and unique pieces of jewelry.
For those of you who are looking for an ideal Christmas gift for your friends and loved ones, you are in the right place. You can find them online and even place bulk orders!
She Empowers: E-Commerce Consultation For Female Entrepreneurs
As Alora Boutique was taking shape, Jameela started getting a lot of inquiries from fellow entrepreneurs who wanted to know more about selling their products online. Soon she realized that it is something that a lot of women are not educated about. That’s how she started giving free online consultations to women who wanted to start their own e-commerce stores through her consulting agency, she{EMPOWERS].
Consultations are mostly conducted on an hourly basis. After the initial meetup, you can catch up with Jameela monthly or weekly to get deeper insights about growing your business.
Fera: Making The Best Out Of Reviews
Fera is a Shopify app that makes it easier for your customers to review their purchases. It is a great tool to increase, improve and present the reviews you get on your e-commerce website. Jameela is the head of marketing at Fera and she describes Fera as the ideal place to work.
Fera is a little over three years old with a team of 12 people including herself. Working here, she gets the freedom to create her own hours and work from wherever she likes!
Making The Best Out Of Life
An important realization I take home after I spend some time with Jameela is how much she enjoys her life. She truly lives on the lines ‘we just have one life and we ought to make the most out of it’. She encourages everyone to work on things they love without getting limited to it. So like she says; travel often, spend time with your loved ones, and go out there and do everything you ever wanted to.
In the last decade, Jameela has experimented a lot, traveled far, and earned abundantly. But the happiness and freedom she enjoyed top it all. Recalling the years, she says, she would have probably earned a lot more if she had continued working but she would have been miserable. Right now she is happy and content and that’s what we all ultimately seek, isn’t it?
