JenTekk Blog

Well, I just received my first Christmas Card this week – thank you Richard and Kaori from Japan!

I love Christmas time. Its a great opportunity to connect with people you haven’t connected with for quite some time. Let them know you think about them, value them and love them. Also, to share laughs, memories and lots of food with those close to you.

For many, Christmas is a stressful or even sad time.

Look closer… much closer! If it looks too good to be true, it is! Scams are everywhere, and unless people blow the horn on them, they will continue to take advantage of unsuspecting people.

I was prompted to blog about this scam as it is good… it looks very legit, and apparently many people are being taken in by companies just like this one.

Today, I received a congratulations letter along with a nice hefty (legit looking CIBC Toronto) cheque in the sum of $4650.00 CDN from a company who calls themselves “Shoppers Inc.”

Note: Yes, all those typos are in this letter.

As a member of several networking forums, I am no stranger to the process of filling in one’s profile. The purpose of a profile is to reveal a bit about yourself and bring some definition to who you are through your occupation, company, interests, website, blog etc.

On occasion, a profile will also include an opportunity to share information of a more personal nature such as hobbies, activities, political stand, and religious views. It is the latter than I find myself giving much thought to.

The sound of water splashing comes to mind as I dive in and write the first post in my blog.

I’ve questioned the purpose of JenTekk’s Blog for a while now, giving it time to permeate my mind.

Finally, last night during a networking meeting, that question wrote it’s answer on my heart.

You see, after graduating from College in 2001 with my website design/internet marketing diploma I set a general course: to quit my day job and pursue my dream.

That dream consisted of being self-employed, doing what I truly enjoy doing and making a living at it.

Sure the road has been somewhat bumpy, occasionally a tire would blow out, and I’ve certainly hit a few dead-ends. Even so, without any business marketing education, I naively continued to forge ahead.

Hello and welcome!

I’m Jeannette Duguay – commonly known as Jen by my peers.

Like many entrepreneurs, I wear a variety of different hats.

I am the Owner of JenTekk Web Solutions. More importantly though, I am wife and best friend to a wonderful man Ger, my husband.

Some would describe me as a woman of faith, a slave to my creativity, fanatical about Bikram hot yoga, and having a large appetite for adventure and almost any kind of food. I’d say that’s pretty accurate!
