“Entrepreneurship has always been in my blood,” says Williams. “All it took was deciding to do what I love, which is changing people’s lives through custom organization. Nearly three decades later, I’m still extremely passionate about my work.”
Before Jennifer Williams first opened Saint Louis Closet Co. in 1991, she approached the SBA to get a crash course on starting a business. That year, she forged ahead, acquired a startup loan and took a risk, trusting that early sales of her new closet systems would prove profitable. That first year, Jennifer – a 25-year-old college grad – did $236,000 in sales. This amount would be exceeded by over 2,500 percent throughout the years.
