Tell us about yourself
My name is Ellisha Ricketts, also known as Ellie. I am driven to contribute and influence flattering changes to the mindset globally by using edification, motivation, and inspiration.
As a Professor, Author, Talk Show Host, Radio Personality, and Blogger, I dedicate my work to my family and lay down a firm foundation for them in order to build a solid future for generations to come. Through the different stages in life, facing and overcoming certain obstacles, I use the lessons learned out of personal experience and observations to continue to thrive by mastering self and sharing with others.
Walking and moving in faith is the inspiration used to propel her daily walk and motivation for different business ventures. The ultimate goal is to bring people together, share resources, curate a unique support system, and spread love in THE greatest city, #TORONTO, hence the name FOURONESIXLOVE!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is my ability to be able to do what I set out to do, bring people together in love. Using the different events and platforms that I have curated to open the space for LOVE, it is amazing to see that LOVE being transferred from one to another, just as I intended.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
There will always be obstacles in all that we do. Life is not easy, but it is worth living and living it in the best way possible. As an entrepreneur or business owner, one of the hardest things is always finding the silver lining in every situation.
Planning, organizing, scheduling, etc., is a big part of the Entrepreneurial/Business Owner's responsibility. So when things do not go the way we intend them to, at times, it can cause hardship, depending on how we look at things.
As individuals moving in this life, we need to always, no matter what the circumstance, look for the silver lining. If we look, we will find it, and then we can begin to change the way we react to the situation. Mindset is everything; when you change your mind about the situation, you change the situation.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
There are several tips that one may need when starting, running, and growing their business, but these are the three that I believe are core:
- Your Reason - Remembering and keeping to the reason why you began this work is very important. Staying on track or sticking to the task at hand is key to success.
- Consistency - no matter what you do, be consistent. Consistency will bring you places that talent or knowledge can not. Consistency is key to success.
- Mindset - in order to get to where you want to go, your mindset must be in the right frame. It is essential to think about what you are thinking about. Focusing on how you can achieve your goals, sticking to the plan at hand. Understanding how to pivot or change the steps to the goal, but never the goal itself. Understanding that mindset is key to achieving anything in life, especially key to accomplishing a start-up, running, and growing your business.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I believe that we are all capable of so much more than we think we are. I believe that we need to step into our unique abilities, embrace our differences and understand that we were not sent here to be mediocre. I want to encourage all to step into your personal greatness, not looking to the left or the right for direction, instructions, or steps on how to get to where you would like to go, but to follow the vision that was placed in only your mind. Tapping into that vision and bringing it out to full fruition is possible, but it's your choice.
