I call myself an evolutionary entrepreneur, one who follows the integrity of her heart in service to the whole of the planet. One of the things I've learned over various entrepreneurships within the last 20 years has been to trust my instincts. Which is hard. Amidst the challenging pressures of workflow, I try to remain centred and anchored in the mission of the project. Stay the course of what is true to your heart, but be willing to shift, adapt, and let it go, all at the same time. Be willing to fail, be willing to question everything, but always ask yourself: "Why am I really doing this? To what purpose does this contribute to the whole?" BE REALLY HONEST with yourself. Ask these questions daily, and let your business be like child, ever-growing, and not always perfect. Because in the imperfections, nature finds a way to evolve and flourish.

Stop paddling upstream! So often what seems insurmountable is simply life’s way of guiding you in a different direction, or an opportunity to grow and learn. When you stop seeing obstacles and instead see opportunities, your whole world shifts and you can relax and flow with the current of life.

There is no such thing as failure. Ever y experience provides learning. If one door closes, another one opens. Do not let ego impact decisions. Be open to feedback. Rolling up your sleeves. Not being afraid to get your hands dirty and leading by example are keys to success. Be positive and persevere, tap into your creative side, keep things simple and surround yourself with people that uplift you.

It is hard to find beauty in dark and scary situations. However, if you approach it with grit and grace, I believe that you can find it, nurture it and do anything. The universal idea of resilience is what defines me, VOILÀ LES HÉROÏNES, and I hope it will resonate positively with many people out there.
