2004 Accomplished Under 40!

Love carries on family's entrepreneurial drive.

Like other successful entrepreneurs, Jacqueline Love saw a need and stepped in to fill it.

Her desire to be a self-employed businesswoman started back in her youth. "I was actually very young - still in high school- when one of the things I wanted to do was run a business," Love said.

Now, at 39, she has proved dreams come true through training, hard work, and men toring - not to mention a little financial help here and there.

Running a business is in Love's blood. Her parents - Mike and Anne Rogers - started their own printing business, Allied Envelope Co., when Love was young. "My dad encouraged me to go to college and get a degree in business, and he let me work the family business," Love said. "He pretty much taught me the ropes of how business is run."

Love climbed the corporate ladder at her parents' company; "When I felt it was time, I worked my way up to CIO and CFO, and Dad kept sending me back to school. I got a degree in business, studied at an IBM training center, and got a micro MBA (at BSU)."

But, education and experience aside, what finally motivated Love to start her own company was need - not her own, but the one she saw in other businesses and knew she could fill.

"I saw the need in small businesses for somebody to help out. At a small business, one person wears so many hats, and it's so difficult. I thought they needed a go- between to help them with their technology decisions and accounting decisions."

So in 1996, Love wrote up a business plan. "I went to Dale Olson at First Security and took it to him," Love said. In brief, "I walked out with a check." Excell Business Management was born.

After years of learning from her father, Love was now her own boss. "I hit 35 and I thought, 'I'm either going to do it, or I'm not.'"

"For me, even trying it was a success," she said. "Whether the business failed or not, it didn't matter. I wasn't going to end up saying, 'I wish I would have ...'"

Now, Excell does business and computer consulting for a variety of clients. The company provides such things as administrative services, financial reporting, networking services.

"My father taught me the perfect business team is a banker, an accountant, a lawyer, and a business consultant," Love said. "I fill the business consultant niche."

There's one thing that matters even more to Love than business success. She has won a number of awards and honors for her volunteer work, which she values above the kudos she gets for business achievement.

Love learned a lesson of sharing good fortune from her mother, and now mentors at the Women's Business Center. She is also a sponsoring member of Soroptimist Inter national, where she created a self-esteem program for young girls.
