Key takeaways
- Employees need both creative freedom and standardized structures to thrive, so establish clear processes while still leaving room for individual expression and innovation.
- Define how much money you actually need to be happy before growing your business, because chasing endless growth without clarity on your goals leads to burnout and compromises your well-being.
- Accept that mistakes are an inevitable and valuable part of entrepreneurship, viewing them as learning opportunities rather than failures to help you and your team grow stronger.
- Prioritize the 80% of normal daily life over chasing the 10% of extraordinary moments, because finding joy in the routine is essential for long-term happiness and sustainability.
- Build your business at a pace that feels right for you rather than accepting every growth opportunity immediately, because being ready matters more than being fast.

[04:56] SPEAKER_01: I don't know, maybe it's just me. [04:58] SPEAKER_01: So. [05:01] SPEAKER_01: Montreal, I was born here. [05:03] SPEAKER_01: There's my whole life is here. [05:06] SPEAKER_01: And I do love my city. [05:09] SPEAKER_01: I think it's one of the best city world. [05:12] SPEAKER_01: So it was obvious that I was doing this here. [05:15] SPEAKER_01: And in Montreal, we have almost all the resources to create products. [05:21] SPEAKER_01: So it was like easy breezy in my head. [05:24] SPEAKER_01: I didn't even think about it. [05:27] SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean? [05:28] SPEAKER_01: It wasn't like a strategic thing to say I'm going to do it in Montreal. [05:31] SPEAKER_01: I'm going to hire only Montreal people. [05:34] SPEAKER_01: It was just like the only thing I knew. [05:38] SPEAKER_01: Right? [05:38] SPEAKER_01: So this is the reason I can, is it possible to show you a bit or not? [05:43] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, definitely. [05:44] SPEAKER_00: It seems like you're working on it. [05:45] SPEAKER_00: So show us what it looks like. [05:47] SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm, I'm like, yeah. [05:49] SPEAKER_01: And maybe it's going to be like a little bit bizarre with the video. [05:53] SPEAKER_01: But if it's something that it could be cool. [05:55] SPEAKER_01: So I don't know if you see, but it's here that we create. [06:00] SPEAKER_01: Now it's just telling you it's Friday. [06:04] SPEAKER_01: So Friday, it's kind of our day that we're all more relaxed. [06:11] SPEAKER_01: We focus on what we did during the week. [06:14] SPEAKER_01: What's coming for the next week. [06:17] SPEAKER_01: It's a ritual that we do every Friday. [06:21] SPEAKER_01: And see what we can do better. [06:25] SPEAKER_01: So it's a time to pause. [06:27] SPEAKER_01: So there's no employee because it's more a relaxed day. [06:32] SPEAKER_01: So to tell you, these are all, oh, Karen. [06:36] SPEAKER_01: Karen is, or she was not prepared to me to show you. [06:43] SPEAKER_01: But Karen, Karen works for, for self. [06:48] SPEAKER_01: And we're so happy to have her. [06:49] SPEAKER_01: And so here is all our products. [06:53] SPEAKER_01: And this is what I'm telling you about like the baths, you know, [06:57] SPEAKER_01: the little citrus and the flowers we put in the bath, which are salt. [07:03] SPEAKER_01: And it comes always with a little oil. [07:05] SPEAKER_01: So this is a really good example of the immersive kit. [07:11] SPEAKER_01: This one is for pregnant women, which is awesome too, [07:15] SPEAKER_01: because there's not a lot of the natural product with essential oils [07:21] SPEAKER_01: that are good for pregnant women. [07:25] SPEAKER_01: But us, we did conceive one with the oil. [07:29] SPEAKER_01: So it's really cool. [07:32] SPEAKER_01: And you tell me when I'm too much, okay, lady? [07:35] SPEAKER_01: I know myself. [07:37] SPEAKER_01: I can be passionate. [07:39] SPEAKER_01: And so this is quite, it's all roses. [07:43] SPEAKER_01: So it's really, yeah, it's really, and you have all the explanation at the back. [07:49] SPEAKER_01: So here is where we think all of stuff, our stuff to put in the, [07:56] SPEAKER_01: you know, the boxes and everything. [07:58] SPEAKER_01: And this is where we create them. [08:01] SPEAKER_00: Great. And you were telling me that a big part of the business is that you have, [08:06] SPEAKER_00: your employees being all together. [08:07] SPEAKER_00: So you have in place, it's a lot of collaboration. [08:11] SPEAKER_00: You have, you have, you have lunch together, you know, and now, you know, [08:14] SPEAKER_00: with your philosophy of Fridays is the, relax day and thinking about our days. [08:18] SPEAKER_00: So tell us more about the, the vibe that you're trying to give to the business [08:22] SPEAKER_00: and to the people work. [08:24] Speaker UNKNOWN: [08:24] SPEAKER_01: It is not perfect. [08:26] SPEAKER_01: I'm not perfect. [08:27] SPEAKER_01: So what I want and what I create as a group is evolving. [08:35] SPEAKER_01: Because when you deal with human beings is the, [08:38] SPEAKER_01: it's the most difficult thing in the world, dealing with humans. [08:44] SPEAKER_01: It's a goal. [08:45] SPEAKER_01: It's a, it's the hardest thing, but it's the most rewarding thing to, [08:53] SPEAKER_01: to evolve, but as an entrepreneur, I think my quality would be that my employee can come to me. [09:04] SPEAKER_01: And you say, talk about it and they're just there. [09:06] SPEAKER_01: They can come to me and tell me if something doesn't work and we're going to create something works together. [09:18] SPEAKER_01: I'm not, I'm not in a type of mind that you need a thing like me. [09:24] SPEAKER_01: You need to do exactly what I say the way I say it. [09:27] SPEAKER_01: We have things to do in the week. [09:29] SPEAKER_01: Then we need to create our own space to do it. [09:34] SPEAKER_01: And you know what I mean? [09:36] SPEAKER_01: But we have a business to, to, to make up and you know, [09:42] SPEAKER_01: so this is a thing I'm telling all the entrepreneur because I've learned this and it's something that really changed our day to day. [09:52] SPEAKER_01: You need a standard standard. [09:54] SPEAKER_01: How do you say that? [09:55] SPEAKER_01: That's not out. [09:56] SPEAKER_01: Yes. [09:57] SPEAKER_01: Standardized. [09:59] SPEAKER_01: Standardized everything. [10:00] SPEAKER_01: Okay, so it's something we're working daily to daily and standardized is like you have, [10:07] SPEAKER_01: you can have like thousands of, you know, back. [10:13] SPEAKER_01: And everything is like standardized. [10:16] SPEAKER_01: So it helps with, I'm telling you do that because I told you that we create a way of working all together. [10:23] SPEAKER_01: But I realized too that we just standardize and still have our part of uniqueness with it. [10:35] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're really, you're really focusing on making sure that your employees are, are well taken care of that there's a place for creativity. [10:43] SPEAKER_00: But at the same time, like there's some sort of like structure so that everyone can be, can be comfortable and that the business runs smoothly as well. [10:51] SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly because when I started the company, I didn't have this in mind. [10:56] SPEAKER_01: I was more like, let's all be creative and but it's not realistic. [11:02] SPEAKER_01: It is not really a stick. [11:04] SPEAKER_01: You need to have a focused plan and then you get creative after this. [11:10] SPEAKER_01: But it, it has been something that I've learned. [11:13] SPEAKER_01: So I guess someone in your audience will learn it too. [11:18] SPEAKER_01: And your employee is can be, it can feel super free, but they need structures. [11:26] SPEAKER_01: So it's something I've learned, but yeah, the vibe here, I think is super nice. [11:32] SPEAKER_01: And will never be perfect, but say we try our best, everything. [11:38] SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so honesty is really one of your central values. [11:40] SPEAKER_00: And one thing you were telling me offline is, is that you know, you're really on a mission to prove that you can have a million dollar company and really have the well-being of your employees at the center of your company. [11:55] SPEAKER_00: So tell us more about your philosophy. [11:57] SPEAKER_00: And if someone wants to apply that in their business, what did you learn that they can apply? [12:02] SPEAKER_01: I've learned like, while I was a stylist, not even now, but I was like working so much. [12:11] SPEAKER_01: I had employees, we were doing like amazing finance blah, blah, blah. [12:18] SPEAKER_01: We were, my partner and I were tired. [12:21] SPEAKER_01: We were starting to get sad. [12:23] SPEAKER_01: And I realized that in life, you need to have a goal. [12:29] SPEAKER_01: You know, you need to have like, we all have like goals. [12:32] SPEAKER_01: I want to be in love. I went, whatever, children, a dog, whatever you want. [12:37] SPEAKER_01: But we never stop to ask ourselves, how much money do I want a year? [12:44] SPEAKER_01: And it's something, trust me, save my life. [12:47] SPEAKER_01: I could write a book just about this sentence because, and it's something that came back this week. [12:55] SPEAKER_01: I talked to the employee because when self-started, like a year ago, almost, we in a year, [13:03] SPEAKER_01: made more than a lot of companies. [13:06] SPEAKER_01: We had this amazing boom. [13:09] SPEAKER_01: And I really got the stress that I had when I was a stylist. [13:13] SPEAKER_01: And it's like finance are going amazing, but it comes with a stress. [13:18] SPEAKER_01: It comes with a performance. [13:21] SPEAKER_01: You know, you need to be a performance. [13:25] SPEAKER_01: And I don't know how to explain it like maybe 100% in English, but what's more important for you? [13:34] SPEAKER_01: Is it like me for me, for example? [13:37] SPEAKER_01: I don't want like a mansion. [13:39] SPEAKER_01: I really don't want, like for me to complicate it. [13:43] SPEAKER_01: I don't want to clean like rooms and have like 100 cars that I don't want to clean. [13:49] SPEAKER_01: It's really the basic phase. [13:50] SPEAKER_01: I hate cleaning, so it would be too much for me. [13:53] SPEAKER_01: I just want to write, it's just when you realize what you really want in life. [13:59] SPEAKER_01: And you talk to your ego, you know, if everybody would talk to their ego and would say, [14:35] SPEAKER_01: a different attitude day to day. [14:38] SPEAKER_01: And it's really important sometimes to say, my business will make millions, but not over my body. [14:47] SPEAKER_01: You have my body one life and my happiness and my balance, my health, my mental health. [14:56] SPEAKER_01: Maybe cannot fit with a mid-Simmulian eye mentality telling you the whole truth. [15:05] SPEAKER_01: I have a lot of friends that have like mid-Simmulian eye, mid-Simmulty like 30, 40,000 million, [15:14] SPEAKER_01: and they're all on cocaine. [15:18] SPEAKER_01: It's something that we don't talk about, but me, the joke I make a lot is I'm here. [15:25] SPEAKER_01: I'm here, sober. [15:27] SPEAKER_01: So what can I do, sober, in my week, to make this business happen? [15:34] SPEAKER_01: And all my team is sober. [15:37] SPEAKER_01: Because it's something we rarely talk, but if an entrepreneur is like, oh my god, [15:45] SPEAKER_01: I'm working 20 hours, that day, seven days a week. [15:49] SPEAKER_01: I think, yes, you're on cocaine. [15:53] SPEAKER_01: And it's not, no, they're not. They're on cocaine. [15:56] SPEAKER_01: There's nobody that has the body. [16:00] SPEAKER_01: And or talk to me, show me your blood sample, I don't care. [16:05] SPEAKER_01: But the fact is, there's no human being. [16:08] SPEAKER_01: Or if you have a heart of a rock, you have no friends. [16:12] SPEAKER_01: Or you don't see your family, you don't see your, you know what I mean? [16:16] SPEAKER_01: Me at five o'clock, I leave. [16:18] SPEAKER_01: I have a daughter. My priority is my family. [16:22] SPEAKER_01: So I'm sober. I take care of my family. [16:26] SPEAKER_01: I take care of my friends. [16:28] SPEAKER_01: I take care of my mother, my father. [16:31] SPEAKER_01: I have, this is balance. [16:34] SPEAKER_01: This is having a business and growing it in a way that you can have your own life. [16:41] SPEAKER_01: Because it's, this is health. [16:46] SPEAKER_01: Health is having love around, you know, it's having, I have two dogs. [16:52] SPEAKER_01: My happiness is to have fun with them. [16:55] SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean? It's not only thinking about strategic, [17:01] SPEAKER_01: marketing, money, now, and self. [17:05] SPEAKER_01: The only deal I have with self, and I tell that to everybody, [17:10] SPEAKER_01: the day I don't, I do not have the other part of my life, I close the door. [17:17] SPEAKER_01: The only deal I have with self is it's fun. [17:21] SPEAKER_01: It's a healthy business. My employee are healthy. [17:25] SPEAKER_01: I am healthy. And we all have a life outside. [17:29] SPEAKER_01: Because the life that you have outside your business, you bring it in every step [17:36] SPEAKER_01: you do to create your job. [17:39] SPEAKER_01: And life is short. You do have to have this, you know what I mean? [17:44] SPEAKER_01: You need to be happy to create happy products. [17:49] SPEAKER_01: It's, it's really important. [17:51] SPEAKER_01: And yes, I want to prove. [17:53] SPEAKER_01: Because we're going to reach, reach the million next year. [17:56] SPEAKER_01: So it's kind of a, in one year and a half, we'll reach a million. [18:02] SPEAKER_01: It's a lot of little jar at $8.28. [18:06] SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean? Let's make a million dollars. [18:09] SPEAKER_01: But we did it with all of this in mind. [18:14] SPEAKER_01: And we want to go further. We want more. [18:18] SPEAKER_01: But only if it, if it doesn't suck the positive. [18:26] SPEAKER_00: Yes, it's not really having your life objective. [18:30] SPEAKER_00: Like asking your, so what I'm taking away is that people really need to ask themselves, [18:34] SPEAKER_00: what, what is it that you want for your life in 10 years from now, [18:38] SPEAKER_00: what you want your life to look like? What is it that you want to have? [18:41] SPEAKER_00: What's important to you? [18:42] SPEAKER_00: And how will that, how will you make sure that by building your business, [18:46] SPEAKER_00: you're not compromising what is it that you want and that you're keeping that as you grow? [18:52] SPEAKER_01: But it does, it does change everything. [18:55] SPEAKER_01: And we are in the society of performance. [18:58] SPEAKER_01: And I, I, I, each time I see a, like a, how do you call that? [19:04] SPEAKER_01: Like a coach or somebody who made it, they're like, I made it. [19:09] SPEAKER_01: I made 20 million this year is like, I don't care. [19:13] SPEAKER_01: How did you make your million? [19:15] SPEAKER_01: And as a stylist, I was losing clients because sometimes they were like imploding [19:20] SPEAKER_01: and they were like, we were like shooting in their Westmount house. [19:24] SPEAKER_01: Westmount is like a, the neighbor of the rich in Montreal. [19:28] SPEAKER_01: And they were like, I'm so, so proud. [19:31] SPEAKER_01: It's incredible. I was like, where do you make her clothes? [19:34] SPEAKER_01: It's children that makes your clothes. [19:37] SPEAKER_01: So over the life of children, you're in a rich neighborhood in Montreal. [19:44] SPEAKER_01: For me, it's not success. [19:46] SPEAKER_01: You didn't success. Yeah, I'm sorry. [19:49] SPEAKER_01: Success for me is you, you didn't hurt nobody in your life. [19:56] SPEAKER_01: Nobody suffered for you to make a sense. [20:00] SPEAKER_01: I mean, there is no success if, if there's hate, there's murder. [20:07] SPEAKER_01: If you know what I mean? Like H&M murder people. [20:10] SPEAKER_01: H&M for me is not a successful company. [20:14] SPEAKER_01: It's a company after the percent on capitalism. [20:19] SPEAKER_01: And it's okay if this is what they want. [20:22] SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean? I'm not okay with it. [20:24] SPEAKER_01: But what I'm saying is in life, we're like submerged with like talks and you need to be slim. [20:35] SPEAKER_01: You need to be, you know what I mean? [20:36] SPEAKER_01: That you wake up at four in the morning, you do marathons. [20:40] SPEAKER_01: And after that, you know, it's like, so I follow, but I don't follow. [20:46] SPEAKER_01: I see sometimes and they're like, I wake up at four in the morning. [20:49] SPEAKER_01: It's most man's. I wake up at four in the morning. [20:52] SPEAKER_01: I train until six at six. [20:54] SPEAKER_01: I clean my stuff and I go to work at my work at six thirty. [20:58] SPEAKER_01: I come back at home at nine o'clock and I'm like, your wife, your children. [21:03] SPEAKER_01: Are you paying a mention and you're never there? [21:07] SPEAKER_01: Like what's the point? [21:10] SPEAKER_01: What's the point? [21:11] SPEAKER_01: I rather have a small apartment and it's cozy and I live in that. [21:20] SPEAKER_01: It's the absurdity. You know what I mean? [21:23] SPEAKER_01: And you need a focus and we lose track of that. [21:27] SPEAKER_01: And it's so easy because success, it's your ego. [21:34] SPEAKER_01: Your ego is like, your ego will always be hungry for more. [21:38] SPEAKER_01: But you need to have the strength to just like be like, ego shut up. [21:43] SPEAKER_01: What's really important for you? [21:46] SPEAKER_01: Me and my family is to have time and I'm super proud of telling that I do. [21:52] SPEAKER_01: Yes, how to be naps. [21:53] SPEAKER_01: I think naps is the, like for me having success is that I could have a nap. [22:03] SPEAKER_01: And a Monday, whenever an employee slept for two hours. [22:08] SPEAKER_01: And we have like a little bed with them. [22:11] SPEAKER_01: And we were so proud of her. [22:14] SPEAKER_01: You know, instead of like, no, I don't care.
