Jamaica's richest woman - Billionaire Blossom O'Meally-Nelson talks about her life and business

[@jimbouchilon389]

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏

[@terrisewell4729]

Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learnt from my last year's experience, i am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time

[@johnalex4006]

I urge everyone to start somewhere now no matter how small, this is literally the time for that, forget material things, don't get tempted,i became more better the moment i realized this.

[@Soboj-oy8me]

yeah investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity but venturing into any legitimate Investment without a proper guidance of an expert can lead to a great loss too

[@nengsolavillasorda8519]

exactly! That's my major concern and what kind of profitable business or investment can someone do with the current rise in economic downturn

[@jessicasaunder6965]

Hello nice comments here please what exactly kind of investment are you talking about here, I'm really interested too

[@richardcooke969]

She taught me at teacher's College in the early 80s. Wow happy for her success. A great mentor.

[@thegreencord2985]

Wonderful interview. She looks amazing for someone in her 80s! Her mind is sharper than a lot of people far younger than her. I’d love to sit at her feet and drink from that fountain of knowledge. ❤

[@jeanlowrie-chin4648]

Brilliant Dr Blossom O'Meally Nelson - we need her to be in a Govt advisory position. 🇯🇲

[@leonansitcheran9818]

Mrs Omeily-Nelson was the most transformational Postmaster General in Jamaica's history. She brought such great ideas by bringing the Post Offices to modern standard. Good to see her still keeping the flag high.

[@morfayah]

⁠@@RajeevGuptaBBC I don’t see a video on the topic referenced in the comment above, Jamaica modernized post office system. If you don’t have a video specific on this topic, please make one. I haven’t seen anyone talking about how the post office operations are ran in Jamaica and why the locals have to pay the post office in order to receive a package when the shipping and customs fees were already paid by the sender from overseas. I do not send anything to my family through the post office from the U.S any more, I try to send items with other family members when the go home to visit, because the fee for the postage in the U.S plus the pick up fee in Jamaica is more than 400% than the cost of the item sometimes more depending on the item being sent. Furthermore, the locals cannot afford to pay the fee at the post office to pick up the package. Since Mrs. Nelson was the postmaster general in Jamaica, she would be the perfect person to explain why and how the post office operates in this manner. The cost is ridiculous to the point where individuals have created their own independent shipping companies for people overseas to ship items to their love ones for less, because of the immoral operations of the Jamaican post office systems. Thank you sir.

[@trishnewman910]

Blossom you look fantastic for your age, keep up whatever you're doing. More than likely some of it is contributed to a good mind and heart

[@blkivory650]

What a remarkable woman, she's amazing and the first I'm hearing of her, she is such a inspiring lady.

[@leonansitcheran9818]

Her humbleness enabled her to pick up any litter lying on the ground.

[@famusrama]

She actually sounds like she cares, I like her God bless her.

[@MarciaSantos-ox1fk]

Blossom is the truth. Her financial mind is quite fascinating and brilliant. Love the fact that she doesn’t come across as pretentious unlike some of the hurry-come-up wealthy people in JA

I love this lady; she was my psychology professor at Sam Sharpe Teacher’s College.

This has been apart of Jamaican society since the 1970s. it was called "grass roots finance" when I was a child. My mom was a councillor and she initiated it in her community at the time and also she started a housing scheme in the area before she passed.

[@tobielbon1899]

Crime is the reason why many tourist don't venture outside the resorts. They would love to go local.

[@mahaliahemmings2515]

Blossom is such a nice person, she was my former CEO at Post & Telecom. The first time I ran in her in the elevator, she said, I did not know that there is a female whose taller than me that's works here 🤗

She is as sharp as she was over 20 years ago when I heard her do a similar interview..She looks great as well

[@jalex345]

Pure positive and abundance mindset. She is a brilliant mind. Glad for this bit of knowledge. More interviews like these should be done. It is a shame Jamaica can’t get agricultural technology right. Michael Manley told them the importance of eating from their own basket. She is living here life passions fully. Blessings.

Very interesting interview and She’s so intelligent identifying the elements that’s affecting the small business community. She’s successfully at what she does because of the time , dedication invested to solving problems and a smart approach towards improving how businesses operates is to seek solutions for the shortfalls she spoke of during the interview.

[@RoseSmith-jd4df]

I am overwhelmed with the success of this Great Lady of the soil...in so much that she was my Phychology lecturer at Sam Sharpe Teachers's College from 1979 to 1981. A bright person. You have no choice than to learn from her. We need more of her in the place. She is not a day older. I love you Mrs Stokes then...Omealy-Nelson now. What ever there is, she is a best person a nd it is this lady. I really love her. She is blessed and young.

Blossom on you comment regarding tourism and the fact that the tourists are control. Its a regular discussion among our household. You don't have this problem in other countries i.e Europe example been Spain/Portugal/UK/South America/ list goes on. Why then is tourism not benefiting our community. Tourism is very much a vital part of everyday life for many businesses in other countries and is very lucrative on many levels. Good infrastructure, road and pavement improvement, business premises up keep, good policing, all these things would make for a better life for local people and even more attractive to tourists when they come to Jamaica, we need a better tourist board, and a government that can make Jamaica vibrant place to visit, just look at Singapore it a mobile for Jamaica to fellow. And lastly education education

[@christenedrackett1938]

So lovely to see and hear Dr. First met her face to face when the Long Bay P.O(Portland) was relocated and reopened some years ago. Lovely person.

[@namkebanyanklariti]

Wow she is in her 80! She don't look it. She was a geography teacher, a psychology professor, a college professor, a CEO at a telecom company, and a micro finance entrepreneur...the list goes on. Fine wine that gets better with time and a smart/hard worker who didn't sit on her laurels waiting to be handed things. Take note modern day women. She and Trisha Bailey and Michael Lee Chin have done is proud.

She right about the money not getting to the people and how the tourist are being controlled especially the cruises to most of the islands and also Mexico, and the reason why is always blamed on crime..how can we fix this , even in America most of the money leaves the hood and ends up at the suburb malls, but even that is changing because of Amazon .. ect ect..how many Jamaicans in the country side are online and how is the wifi speeds, i have friends there online but mostly in the cities..

[@pearls1626]

What a wonderful woman, she is a gem, still giving advice….God bless.

[@forward_ever_ever2595]

They simply DO NOT want to get agriculture right because it is benefiting the business men/women who are big in import/export business. Same thing other islands like Trinidad, Barbados etc....ppl fail to realise that the Caribbean literally funded the building of London from sugar😉

[@jalex345]

You got it. It’s all a system. Michael Manley preached the importance of this need to be a self reliant nation. All the people wanted was the leadership that brought in foreign goods. It’s the same thing Castro worked on preventing in Cuba.
