Like all of us, Alena Chapman wears many hats: mother, author, entrepreneur, mentor etc. She’s on a quest to help people everywhere connect to their soul’s purpose, and experience abundance while on the journey. She works with clients around the world to help them identify what they are really here to achieve in life, from a space of compassion, non-judgment, and love. Soul Manifesto is a project that was born out of a need Alena identified in the personal development space. If Spirituality has been considered elite or inaccessible by some, others reduce it to a mere series of steps that miss the elegance and nuance of authentic spiritual connection to oneself. These days, spirituality is either being romanticized or trivialized, and in the process some people have tuned out because they perceive it’s not “for them.” It is Alena’s divine purpose to bridge that gap so that everyone can pursue their soul’s purpose, as revealed through living out a spiritual practice.
Entrepreneurial Role Models:
When business started difficulties overcame:
“I think the hardest thing was when I started this business because it’s not a concrete substance. It’s something that everybody needs or should want and yet it’s hard for them to grasp. And so this is a different kind of business, it’s not like I am selling a shirt or designing your landscape or teaching you how to sing and you get instant results it’s really something that I give you the tools but you have to do the work. It’s an inside job and if you follow the tools you will gain it… It’s ethereal for a lot of people. And so when I started this business… and it’s always a challenge and I am always looking at better ways… How do I make it more tangible? How do I make it so that people can grasp this easily? And that really has been my mission. I think that has been the challenge in this business”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“believe in yourself and believe in your capabilities. So often we doubt. And have faith, have faith in every move you make, have faith that if you believe totally in what you are doing it will happen. That doesn’t mean you don’t work but it means you will have less stress and you will act with more confidence in it. So it’s believing in yourself and in your ideas. And when you do that you can’t fail, you really can’t fail”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Alena Chapman:
- “trust yourself. And if you don’t trust yourself you have got to learn how to trust yourself because it’s you.”
- “Stay connected to whatever your source is but not in a need way but in a rejoicing way”
- “tap in and do the things that feed you”
- “have little challenges, give yourself a little challenge every day. And when you complete that challenge the matter how small take the time to congratulate yourself. “I did this, I really did this. And if I can do this then I can do the next step.” And before you know it you start to trust your decision-making and you get to trust your ability. You have to start trusting yourself because really down in the reality of the world itself it’s you. Your business is you, your life is you. You have got to trust who you are, you have got to trust your ability to do. When you have that it makes being an entrepreneur easier.”
- “You cannot sink the ship for one person who isn’t able to do what they need to do. You just can’t. But you let them go with kindness ”
- “I do think having faith in what you are doing and having a big vision in your head… you don’t have to tell anyone… of where you really think… I mean it can get bigger than you can ever imagine, but where do you want to be? What do you really want to achieve?”
- “You as the leader if you are not in the right state of mind or you have a lack of persistence are you haven’t discovered your gifts as a leader then how are you supposed to lead”
- “if you lose clarity you lose progress”
- “entrepreneurs we are the innovators in the world, we truly are”
- “are you an entrepreneur or a business owner? Because they are two different things. A business owner is just somebody who puts in the time builds his little business and and this is where it stays and we go home and sleep well at night. An entrepreneur has an idea, an entrepreneur is a creator, an entrepreneur never just sits there. They want to take it higher, they want to take some more, they want to really better people’s lives, they want to serve better, they want to be better, they want to build it better”
- “if you stay still so does your business”
