About Jeanne-Vida Douglas

A multi-award winning business journalist with a decade's experience covering the information technology sector, Jeanne-Vida was juggling her own small business as a freelance journalist and business writer with the demands of two small children, and was keen to encourage others to find ways to turn their skills into microenterprises.

She met coauthor Peter Fritz in early 2007 at Peter's offices in Chippendale in Sydney, Jeanne-Vida bouncing her baby son on her lap, and they agreed to meet regularly for coffee to figure out how to turn these vague ideas, and real life experiences into a book which could be shared down the generations and across the business community. Over many meetings they gathered ideas, wrote and rewrote, discussed and argued the fundamental ideas, and real life examples which subsequently became The Profit Principle.
