We were lucky to catch up with Stephanie Elakhras recently and have shared our conversation below.

Stephanie, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today If you could go back in time do you wish you had started your business sooner or later

Looking back on my journey, the question of whether I wish I had started my business sooner or later is one that carries a weight of introspection and reflection. The decision to embark on my entrepreneurial path was deeply intertwined with the circumstances of my life at the time.
When my son was diagnosed with a medical disorder, my world shifted, and suddenly, the traditional career paths I had envisioned for myself seemed impractical. The demands of caring for him, alongside my other two children, meant that pursuing a corporate job or committing to the rigors of medical school was simply not feasible.
It was during this challenging period that the idea of starting my own business emerged as a beacon of hope—a way to not only provide for my family but also to create a flexible and fulfilling career that could accommodate the unique needs of my children. As a mom, it became my outlet for creativity, independence, and financial stability, while also affording me the precious opportunity to be present for my children during their formative years.
Every milestone, every challenge overcome, and every moment shared with my children has contributed to the rich tapestry of my entrepreneurial journey. And while I may harbor a wish for having started sooner, I am immensely grateful for the path that led me to where I am today—a proud business owner, a devoted parent, and a firm believer in the power of resilience and adaptability.

Any advice for growing your clientele? What’s been most effective for you?

The most powerful method for expanding your client base is undoubtedly through word of mouth.

Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?

Certainly! One particular moment stands out vividly in my mind as a testament to my resilience. It was during the early stages of building my business when I faced a series of setbacks that seemed insurmountable at the time. I had poured my heart and soul into launching my venture, investing countless hours and resources into bringing my vision to life. However, despite my best efforts, I encountered unforeseen challenges that threatened to derail my progress. Looking back, that period of struggle was a pivotal moment in my journey. It taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, tenacity, and the power of belief in oneself. And ultimately, it laid the foundation for the success and fulfillment that I continue to experience today.
