 Dear JABBERS: I am totally schvitzing. Freaking out. Wigging. Losing it. Going nuts. Doing backflips! Why, you ask? Because it's our birthday, of course! And not just a birthday, a milestone. We are FIVE YEARS OLD!
For me, launching and growing JAB has had a lot of parallels to raising a child. It might sound dramatic, but it's true. At first it's itty bitty, with nothing but potential. Little by little you nurture it and infuse it with the things it needs to grow and prosper. And you gather a team to do it, realizing that it really does take a village. Somewhere along the way you blink your eyes, and just like that it's all grown up. You are overcome with nostalgia and pride. You are well aware that this village is comprised of a few components (in this case, Team JAB and all of you JABBERS). And all there is left to do is celebrate!
We launched JAB five years ago with an initial capital investment of only $2,000 and two people. Since then we have grown the business into four South Florida markets, 30,000 JABBERS, and 15 employees.
To celebrate this milestone, we will be hosting a party where we hope to thank each of you in person. We will announce the date and details soon so please stay tuned.
In the meantime, please keep JABBING!
-Boo
