About JFroC
The founder of the JFroC brand is Jamie Odell she was 7 (2020) at the time she started selling watches, with the help of Dad teaching her about business & her motivation of learning about business and helping other kids who go to school hungry in Australia.
Where it all Started
She annoyed the 'crap' out of mum and dad to have her own business, when she was 5 years old. She learnt that she needed money to start a business. So she started jobs around the house and saving money from gifts. Creating a needs/business jar and a wants jar to save money.
Her first business was making lemon juice at home when she was in Kindy & Prep. She wanted to sell outside the house on a stand. Mum said NO & didn’t allow this. So Jamie worked out she could make money making & selling drinks to mum and Dad & any one who came to the house.
Allocating money to her jars to save up for another business. She came home from School at the start of Year 1 and said " I can't make money when I am at school, there is no one making the drinks for me & I can't sell when I am at school ! "
She wanted another business because she could not make money whilst at school. Speaking with mum and dad about this problem a solution was found, learning about social media, website online store and finding more about mum & dad's business she started thinking about new ideas.
Next Business Idea ! - Who doesn't love Cookies
Her next idea in Year 1, was to sell pre mix cookie packet online. Miss Jamie's Cookies.
Her Year 1 Show & Tell was a Pitch for research.
It was a great idea. Help ! Poor mum & dad R & D team, contacted few local companies were found and approached. Only one company was interested in helping Jamie with her dream !
However a few months later the board of directors decided not to go ahead with helping Jamie with her dream........
A Hard lesson to learn at any age being told 'No'. You can see her reaction to this Set back on her YouTube Chanel.
She has a saying ' Failing is an opportunity to learn and get back up '
Getting Back Up ! JFroc was Born.
Once again in 2020 annoying mum & dad for more knowledge and discussing ideas on her daily walk with mum & dad. Watches and gift ideas came to mind.
They are small to ship, they look good and you need to use Math she was starting to learn to read analog time at school & home.
Jamie tasked Dad & mum to help research watches that she could buy and resell via social media & website.
Her goal is to learning about business, systems & marketing to create a successful brand, create enough profit to help kids charity & to buy her own townhouse on her 18th birthday.
