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.

[04:41] SPEAKER_01: I think Montreal is the door of the one of the door of the planet.
[04:46] SPEAKER_01: And because I've traveled the world for me, Montreal was always next door.
[04:50] SPEAKER_01: I don't know when you travel the world, you realize that we're not that far.
[04:56] SPEAKER_01: I don't know, maybe it's just me.

[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.
