Honoring the Backbone of Montana’s Economy – Small Business Week is April 30-May 6

Every day Jenn Mayrand wakes up ready to "work hard and throw everything at my business." She knew her job as a contractor wouldn’t last forever, and she didn’t want to keep working outside all year. She knew it was time for a change, and this pushed Jenn to realize her dream of owning a small business. Jenn launched her jewelry line Badass Babe LLC to reflect her own personal style, all with the mindset that failure isn’t an option.

As a business owner myself, I know firsthand Montana is a great place for entrepreneurs. Like many small businesses, our restaurant in Butte is family owned and operated. When my husband was laid up after surgery, my daughter stepped in to keep the place running. We pride ourselves on not only running a business, but building a community, too. I know we’re not alone in this, as business owners in every corner of the state play big role in building our communities.

Pam Haxby-Cote is the Director of the Montana Department of Commerce.
