Before I worked with Elaine, I was very fearful. I’d been wanting to create my own business but I was waiting for someone or something to promise me that everything was going to be OK. I’ve such passion for what I want to do, but I was so unsure because I didn’t see anyone else doing it. I was unable to move forward. I was looking for a safety net. I wanted to know ‘the rules’. I spoke with lawyers to calm my fears. They didn’t. After working with Elaine, I felt empowered. She asked brilliant questions like, “What if I make the rules?!”. I was able to give myself permission to take just one step at a time and she helped me realize that roadblocks don’t mean the end of the road. I can reassess and keep moving. Instead of letting fear stop me, Elaine helped me to trust my inner knowing, to allow my passion, ideas, and enthusiasm to lead me forward. I am amazed by the confidence I hear in my own voice now when I tell people “I’m launching my own business?”. I am excited for the future!
