Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jack Elias, Founder and Director of Institute for Therapeutic Learning, located in Brooklyn, NY, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Counseling, coaching, and training using Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP modalities, synthesizing Eastern and Western insights and practices for mental, emotional, and spiritual growth.

Tell us about yourself

Started developing my approach in 1967. Motivated by empathy and insights into the needless causes of suffering, knowing I can help people daily to experience their inherent worth and ability to live joyfully and creatively.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is helping people every day to "brighten up" and live with enthusiasm, joy, and a renewed recognition of their full worth.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

Nothing is "hard." There are always challenges, but if you struggle with them, you are on the wrong track. I help people meet challenges without fear or stress.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Formulate the most expansive aspiration you can and constantly refresh it as your wisdom grows.
  2. Never follow a fear-based thought.
  3. Cultivate gratitude and kindness every day for yourself and for everyone else.
