About

Hi, My name is Judy Ranieri and like you, I am part of one of the largest growing demographics in North America.  I am a solo entrepreneur!  I am also the author of the Small Biz Cafe Blog

My professional life began after I graduated from university with a degree in Computer Science.  I worked with IBM for 15 years and held a variety of positions from Programmer, to Project Manager, to Systems Engineer and finally finished my career at IBM in marketing.

I left IBM because I was traveling far too much and I had young children at home – hence the beginning of a new career as an entrepreneur.

It fit perfectly with my priorities.  I could work while the kids were in school and spend time with them when they came home.  Perfect lifestyle……hmmm!  Little did I know at the time, that as a solo entrepreneur, there are never enough hours in a day, each new day brings a different challenge, and as an individual you are constantly learning, growing and  driven by passion.  I wouldn’t give it up for anything in the world!

Here’s to identifying your passion and turning it into a profitable business.  I wish you success!
