About The Bootstrap Babes

Dm_and_jamila150x140Multipreneurs Donna Maria Coles Johnson and Jamila White are the Bootstrap Babes.

The Bootstrap Babes are just like you. We are artsy and craftsy. We love our families and our friends. We would rather live The Secret than read or watch it.

Between us, we've started several successful businesses with hundreds of individual revenue streams. We've made money selling consumer products, information products, business-to-business consulting services, memberships, books and CDs and we are here to help you do the same thing.

Do you want to:

  • Build wealth?
  • Create a business that becomes a legacy the entire family can enjoy and benefit from?
  • Have the flexibility that you need to enjoy work, your friends and your family on your own terms?
  • Earn a living honestly and without going knee deep into debt . Together we made millions of dollars and we've done it all without traditional venture capital, meaning we "bootstrapped" everything we own.

If your answer to any of those questions is "yes," then the Bootstrap Babes are here to help you do it and have some kick butt fun at the same time.

Through this blog, we share our tips, insights and enthusiasm with you, and we ask that you share yours with us by leaving comments on our posts.

"Bootstrapping" means growing and expanding a business without the use of outside financial resources. Money is important, yes. But the Bootstrap Babes know from experience that it's not the most important asset you have. Your creative mind, your natural intuition and new technologies combine to create just about everything you need to grow a business without tapping external investors or going into debt. In this way, you have the freedom to develop your company according to your core principles and are not preoccupied with integrating other ideas simply because of an outside financial stake in your venture.

The Bootstrap Babes own and manage a total of three successful businesses, all of which are free from external debts and unencumbered by outside financial investors. Over the years, we've developed the skills needed to be financially successful in business while having a good time, and now, we want to pass everything we know onto you.
