Meet Jazmin Cornejo

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Jazmin Cornejo. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Jazmin, thank you so much for taking the time to share your lessons learned with us and we’re sure your wisdom will help many. So, one question that comes up often and that we’re hoping you can shed some light on is keeping creativity alive over long stretches – how do you keep your creativity alive?

I’ve always been creative — it’s what made me an entrepreneur in the first place. I never liked being confined to four walls or following a set of rules. I’ve always pushed boundaries, looked for new ways to do things, and been willing to take risks — and I think that mindset is essential for entrepreneurship.

But what I’ve realized over time is that staying creative as an entrepreneur is actually harder than becoming one. When you’re first building your business, everything feels creative — you’re designing, dreaming, and experimenting. But once you’re deep in the day-to-day — running operations, serving clients, handling admin — there’s less space for creativity to breathe.

So now, I intentionally create space for it. I build time into my schedule to rest, to spend time with friends, to travel, or even to just do nothing. Because when I slow down, that’s when my best ideas come through.

And honestly, being around other creative people helps a lot, too. Surrounding myself with my community — like the entrepreneurs in my Bizz Bitch network — constantly sparks new ideas. We inspire and challenge each other to think differently and stay creative, even when business gets busy.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

Uplifting women has always been a big part of who I am — I love seeing women win. That’s really the heart behind everything I do today. I get to bring that to life through my community, Bizz Bitch, which is like a mix between a social club and a networking group for entrepreneurs.

When I left the corporate world, I really missed those casual, connective moments — the kitchen conversations, the holiday parties, or grabbing a happy hour with the girls after work. So, I decided to recreate that — but for women building businesses. I wanted to give entrepreneurs that same sense of sisterhood and connection we used to have in the office, but make it even more intentional and empowering.

Along the way, after working behind the scenes for over five different communities and memberships — plus 15 years in events and operations — I realized I had this secret sauce for helping others build their own profitable communities, too. That’s what led me to expand into business consulting, where I help other founders turn their idea’s,, memberships and events into thriving, systemized ecosystems.

One of my favorite moments so far was hosting San Diego’s largest International Women’s Day event in 2025 — we brought together over 350 women, 42 small-business vendors, and incredible keynote speakers. It was such a powerful celebration, and I’m so excited to bring it back again in 2026.

Inside the Bizz Bitch community, we meet a few times a month to connect and support other small businesses — whether that’s meeting up at a local coffee shop, taking a walk together, doing a sound bath, a heels dance class, or just brunching it up. It’s about mixing friendship, fun, and growth — because business should feel good, and community makes it that much better.

Nothing lights me up more than watching the women in my community win — seeing them collaborate, partner, support one another, and celebrate big financial milestones. I feel so lucky to be connected to every single one of them.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Honestly, one of the biggest things that shaped me was working in both big corporate and small business. Those experiences gave me such a wide perspective. In corporate, I learned how large organizations operate at scale — the structure, the systems, and the potential of what’s possible. But I also realized that environment wasn’t for me. Then, working for a small, family-owned business, I saw how quickly decisions are made and how every move directly impacts the bottom line. It helped me understand how all the puzzle pieces fit together — from operations to revenue to relationships.

The second skill that’s been a game-changer is my ability to stay calm under pressure. I’ve always had this natural ability to take a messy, chaotic situation and find order in it — to see the other side, get all my ducks in a row, and move us there as efficiently as possible. That skill has saved me countless times, especially in my 15 years of event production and now as a business owner when things can easily feel overwhelming.

The third — and maybe the most powerful — skill is connection. Believe it or not, I actually grew up pretty shy. Somewhere along the way, through sales roles, networking, and pushing myself out of my comfort zone, I found my voice and discovered that building relationships is one of my superpowers. Networking as a small business owner is everything. In a world where digital and AI are taking over, human connection still matters — it’s what drives opportunities, collaboration, and community.

And one thing I didn’t realize until later is how much my solo travel experiences shaped all of that. I’ve traveled to over 18 countries alone, and that taught me how to adapt quickly, understand different cultures, and build connection and community anywhere I go. Solo travel gives you perspective — it clears your thoughts, reignites creativity, and strengthens your confidence in ways nothing else can.

If I could go back, the only thing I’d change is that I would’ve started sooner. I spent too long waiting for the “perfect moment,” but everything shifted once I started showing up, connecting, and trusting myself — both in business and in life.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

Oh my god, yes — absolutely. Collaboration is at the heart of everything I do. I’m so passionate about partnering with other communities, even those who could be seen as direct competitors. To me, that’s what community is really about — especially for entrepreneurs. The goal is to expose people to as many new connections as possible — new clients, partners, and friendships that can help them grow.

I genuinely love meeting other entrepreneurs and hearing their stories — how they started, what they’ve learned, what lights them up. I’m always looking for communities in San Diego and beyond to partner with on creative events and experiences. Right now, I’m gearing up for my Entrepreneur Holiday Bash, and of course, International Women’s Day 2026, which brings together multiple community leaders. We’re always looking for more women-owned businesses to showcase — especially those who sell products — and for inspiring speakers who want to host workshops within the Bizz Bitch community.

I’m also constantly on the lookout for unique, funky spaces that want to collaborate and host our events — from coffee shops and coworking spaces to wellness studios and boutique hotels.

The best way to reach me for collaborations is by email at [email protected] or through a DM on Instagram at @thebizzbitchcommunity.

And looking ahead, I’ve got some really fun collaborations in the works — including the first-ever Bizz Bitch Conference, where I’ll be looking for speakers, partners, and sponsors to help bring it to life. I’d also love to host a mini spa day experience for our members, and — little insider tip — there’s a podcast coming soon. So I’m looking for guests who are not only willing to share their strategies, but who are also open books — ready to talk about the good, the bad, and the real behind entrepreneurship and being a woman in business.
