Entrepreneurial Role Models:
- None –
- Enjoys reading a lot of books
- “I enjoy reading a lot of books and I pull things from books. I don’t have specific role models because I don’t know who the person is. I think I don’t have specific role models because I don’t really know who the person is. There are people out there that are interesting to me but I don’t know if what I am seeing is a façade or what I am seeing is the real person. So there is some interesting people out there for sure I find the information I glean what inspires me are things that I read from different books and stories”
When business started difficulties overcame:
“Could I actually make a living from this? I fell into what I did totally by accident. I was initially working at a chronic pain centre and I myself had pain funnily enough and I took yoga and it helped me dramatically so I started to apply the concepts with the patients in the clinic and they started to get well. I didn’t know anybody in the yoga world who was making a living so I pushed it off to the side but I kept doing yoga and then I started teaching yoga and more people came with pain. So initially taken that leap was more about whether it was actually possible. And then the leak really came to me, it all grew very organically… And I was able to transition to it quite smoothly”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“the process is one that can move quickly, that it can move slowly, that it can be chaotic, that it can be really calm. And to not get attached to any one of those states. Things can be going really well and it doesn’t mean it will go really well for ever. I remember a concept that I learned from Dan Sullivan who is an executive coach from Toronto, he called something when you get into overwhelm as a ‘ceiling of complexity’. And so, things can be going along really, really well and then you just get overloaded, lots of clients and maybe there is things that go wrong and things just start going a little bit chaotic. And a lot of people when they are starting out may say well this is just not worth it or businesses hard or they make it mean also saw things. And really what needs to happen at that point is to simplify and just to re-clarify and then move through the ceiling of complexity as opposed to avoiding it, gets you down or having to fight it. So, to not get attached to anyone state that you are in and to recognise that it is all part of the journey, it’s all part of the process. And when you are clear on where you are going it makes the sometimes rocky road or sometimes rollercoasters experience a lot smoother and perhaps a bit more fun”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Susi Hately:
- “you need to get something done give it to a busy person”
- “keep the bigger picture in play”
- “the thing with balance is that you never have it. And when you look at the wheel of life that some people look at where you divvy up the various aspects of your life you will find that circle is never a true circle, that it’s kind of bumpy and it will never be true circle because you will never have it all. You can have it all just not at the same time”
- “life is like a Christmas tree where the tree is your fundamental value and then the others are the accoutrements, the lights and the other accoutrements on the tree are the other values. And so it’s important to keep the thing that’s the most important thing the most important thing. Faith, family, finances, fitness, friends or fun – make one of those your tree and then the others are accoutrements…Relax about getting balance and not striving for it because it just never will happen”
- “just because I tell somebody something once it does not mean they are going to be accountable to it… People need reminding regularly about those things”
- “a lot more is available in one’s life than people even thought”
