Attributes of Success
Jeanette attributes her success first to her parents who instilled the value of hard work and giving back when she was a young girl; and second to her mentor, Debora Cunningham. Debbie even took a backseat, when it meant pushing Jeanette beyond her comfort zone to move forward.
Jeanette also gives credit to her business partner, Christine Woods, whose loyal friendship, like mindedness, and keen networking ability inspired the development of 1CapApp—their cutting-edge product.

Interesting story and niche. Also like the mentor angle – often a more important factor than most people might think. Nobody succeeds in a vacuum.
