Business View Magazine | July 2020

100 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JULY 2020 as I can. I have my guy there in the meeting sketching out everything with a pencil – that to me is old school and they can see it right there and then. Or I’ll send them a sketch of the changes we’re going to make, but I like to give them my opinion and get their opinion and then we incorporate them together. I also do a lot of before and after videos and post them on the company Facebook page. Especially the restorations.” “My personal life and the business are intertwined. It’s like in our own lives, you have to build and restore yourself. That’s why I love the restoration business. Using the old and turning it into new. I gave up time from working with builders of million dollar homes to work for Billy Graham’s ministry. These were very poor people. But during those builds I got to minister to people, especially single moms, and share my story. You get rewarded so much more when you’re not looking at the money you’re making, you’re looking at restoring people’s lives one day at a time. Anything is possible. “I’m a one-stop shop. Clients don’t have to go through several different people. I can handle everything, give them peace of mind. I also offer financing. JZE is a minority/woman owned business, I’m bilingual (Spanish) and I’m here to help people, no matter what. And I’m willing to give people advice, even if they don’t go with me because you’re not for everybody. When you’re looking for a contractor it has to be a good fit. The business is growing well now, but when it grows too fast it can get out of control. And then you can’t focus on customer service and relationships, which are key for me. So, I’m going to take it slow and enjoy every day.” Amen to that, Patty!
