Dare to Live Fully: Manifest Miracles!
Listen to Helene's new radio show where she sits down with Zhena Muzkya, founder of Zhena's Gypsy Tea. A passionate, resourceful entrepreneur, Zhena went from being struggling single mother to the head of a multimillion dollar business. Her resolve to serve others kept her going no matter what obstacles she faced.
Read an excerpt of the interview here:
Zhena: With a mission to serve, you cannot fail. When I look back on how a college dropout, single mom with $6 to her name was able to build a multimillion dollar business with products in over 20,000 stores… that doesn’t happen unless there is a bigger mission at play. Anytime I work with a company or a woman CEO I say, “Find the mission that’s going to inspire you to work 20 hour days, because that’s what it’s going to look like sometimes.”
Find the beacon that is your daily reminder of that mission. At first it was my son, and then it was the pictures of the kids in the tea fields everywhere. Surround yourself with reminders about why you’re doing it. First you find your mission, then you find your beacon, then you build a context for every single person around you. I went to all my customers and said, 'Listen, this isn’t tea. We’re ending poverty for tea workers.”
Helene: The obstacles are always there. We all go through terror and fear as we tackle something new. But what’s larger than the fear is to be of service, to look outside of yourself and make a difference. It’s very important to align yourself with something that’s meaningful to you and connects with your soul.
Everyone on this planet has a purpose beyond the mundane. We all have a soul purpose and a journey. And if you don’t think you know it-if you spend the time to reflect and really ask yourself, what turns me on? What are other people doing, like Zhena, that I want to do, you'll be guided to your special contribution.
