Entrepreneurial Role Models:
When business started difficulties overcame:
“My first biggest difficulty was really seeing that I can do things and colour outside of the lines. I carry the burden of academic trauma, two graduate degrees, a PhD and all that academic training and this is how you do things. And obviously that doesn’t work in entrepreneurship. And stepping out of that paradigm was the biggest hurdle for me. Learning to colour outside of the lines, learning to take this work online, taking lots of courses, lots of programs. And ultimately what I needed to do … All of that learning was good but it was not what moved the needle ultimately. What did was daring. Daring, really throwing away that convention. And that took a lot of inner work”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Valerie Rein:
- “with the work in rewiring the nervous system and creating more capacity we help people really expand their capacity to be with all of their emotions including those brought up by rejection, those brought up by failure that really can mess with entrepreneurs big-time”
- “I don’t know if a lot of things can or could in my case shortcut the learning curve other than the experience. I guess making mistakes… Just leaning into making mistakes faster so that the learning can happen fast. I guess not holding back from making mistakes, just experimenting and leaning into bold ideas and seeing what happens”
- “being able to be present and hang in with no matter how things are going and not adjusting your dreams and desires because ‘oh well that thing did not work out’ well just figure out how to make it work better. And just returning that willingness to return to the drawing board again and again and again… Just staying in that creativity all of the time and being willing and expecting to make mistakes. And again, it comes down to that resilience that capacity to hang with that disappointment and not making it about yourself, not taking it personally… I’m so grateful for that capacity and that philosophy… To me it is a necessary ingredient for success”
- “luck whatever that is plays a part… I have been contemplating that quite a bit. How much the unseen factors play a part and again leaving room for mystery. I don’t know all of the ingredients for my success. I don’t want to be arrogant and say I have it figured out”
- “it has to do with the inner realm, it is the invisible. And we must see those things that are affecting us in that invisible realm so that we can do things that might have been considered impossible for us before”
- “my winning formula is 90 percent is work and 10 percent showing up”
