Today we’d like to introduce you to JoHanna Babineaux-Zeno.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Born and raised in Lafayette, Louisiana by a single mother for the majority of my young years was the motivation of wanting to know if there was more to life. Stepping into the adult world, I felt a deep calling within myself to make a difference and create something meaningful not only for myself but the legacy I would leave behind. I decided to pursue a passion for healthy living and started a local juice business called “En’Juice Me Inc.” Which was birthed from my own personal life-threatening experience of Chronic Hypertension during my last pregnancy. The path to becoming a CEO was far from easy, as numerous obstacles and setbacks surfaced during the Covid Pandemic in 2020. With overwhelming support and lots of prayers, the business has not only continued but has grown to new heights through perseverance with unwavering determination. Not to mention in my immediate family, being the first of many things definitely holds a weight that can have a lot of pressure at times.
As the business continued to thrive, I felt a profound sense of gratitude and fulfillment, realizing that my journey was not just about personal success; it was about uplifting others and helping them recognize their own potential. This newfound purpose led me to become an author, co-author, speaker, and podcast host, using my God-given platform to share my story of growth, resilience, and faith.
In the end, I pray my story is a testament to the power of resilience, self-discovery, and the joy of embracing one’s true identity. That my life was a living example of how determination, faith, and a servant’s heart could lead to a fulfilling and purposeful existence, and I continue to look forward to all the blessings and challenges that lay ahead.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Absolutely not! You hear many of times where there is encouragement of inspiring you to start your own business and make lots of money. When you come from a place where there is no resources or tool that you have access to early in life. Being exposed to it later in life makes a big difference on how to make it happen. Having to figure out the starting point and not just starting a business but creating a business that grows to accomplish the goals you have set.
Educating yourself and getting around like-minded trusted individuals makes a difference if you will be successful or not. From business planning, budgeting, marketing, and transitioning from self-employed to owner is a whole situation within itself.
The biggest challenge has been not to give up on me. I know what life was like as a child into my teen years. Now having daughters who I know depend on me to create an image that they can compare their own goals to set the standards.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
