Entrepreneurial Role Models:
None specific
When business started difficulties overcame:
“it was definitely challenging because nobody knew what this product was. And I had had this incredible experience with it but I didn’t even know how to put that into words. And so, it’s kind of funny because ironically in the beginning I was so excited about my business that it actually repelled people to a certain extent. There was this feeling where they were like what is this I must don’t even trust this because she is so excited about it. And so, I had to first of all learn how to be more professional in terms of kind of maintaining more scientific understanding of what I was working with and offering it in a space that was more calm and collected”…[Listen for More]

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all!
Even if they are a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice.
meet them at the door laughing and invite them in.
Be grateful for whatever comes.
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.” The Guest House — Jellaludin Rumi

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“be true to yourself, listen to your heart and really don’t be afraid to try things. And again, even if they don’t work out how you expected there will be some kind of learning there. And really keep your awareness open to the people and things that show up in your life because if we are just so busy following our mind and all of the things that we’ve already planned out sometimes we miss the most beautiful surprises”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Allison Pelissier:
- “like a lot of entrepreneurs, I felt kind of on my own when I first started and there is so many amazing communities of different entrepreneurs around the world and meet up and gatherings and small business resources locally. There is so much support out there and I think that if I had tuned into that on a deeper level and really asked for that support in the beginning, I would have been surprised at how much was out there and how much that could have exonerated the growth of my business”
- “the number one secret to success for me is really genuine enthusiasm. Like actually really caring about what you do. If you don’t have that genuine love for you are bringing to the world, I think that can be felt either way. If you really feel inspired people feel inspired and it’s contagious. If you or someone on your team is doing something that they don’t actually enjoy that’s also going to be felt”
- “if we bring a curiosity to everything that we do… And in the business sense this can be applied to a new venture or even working with a challenging client… If we bring a curiosity and interest instead of a reactivity we can get so much further, learn so much more and really help each other in an exponentially way”
- “other tools for success are just also persistence, just continuing to try somethings that you try don’t work and that just gives you more information about what to do next. So, it’s not looking at things as mistakes or failures but actually as learning experiences”
- “as an entrepreneur really working to help yourself to stay in a good place is going to affect every area of your life”
