How do you Know When to Quit? From Salon Owner to Start Up: Eliza Trendiak is the QUEEN of Pivoting

A huge thank-you to the Georgia Straight for ranking the "Voted Least Likely" Podcast as the 3rd best podcast in the BOV 2023 Awards! I am so honoured to have this show recognized. Thank-you to everyone who voted, together we can make others feel less alone on their journey.
You know when you meet someone and immediately click? That's Eliza for me.
Eliza Trendiak has been an entrepreneur since before she even knew the meaning of the word. Whether operating a successful lemonade stand or charging the kids in the neighbourhood for gymnastics lessons (despite not being a gymnast), Eliza has always loved turning an idea into a tangible business.
She spent the first 15 years of her career in the hair styling industry, first as a stylist, and then as a salon owner building and selling her brand of 4 salon locations in Vancouver, Canada. Seeing other women succeed in business is a huge passion of Eliza’s and she loves to connect and encourage other business owners any time she can.
You will regularly find her making ridiculous videos on social media using humour to highlight her attempt at balancing motherhood and business ownership. Currently Eliza is working on her new brand called Lavoh, a line of sustainable and reusable makeup remover cloths which she will be launching in the Spring of 2024.
In this episode we cover how you know when it's time to pivot, the importance of community in business, and that we're both ready for any awards show.

It’s Almost the End of 2023: Have you revisited your ”Word of the Year”?

A huge thank-you to the Georgia Straight for ranking the "Voted Least Likely" Podcast as the 3rd best podcast in the BOV 2023 Awards! I am so honoured to have this show recognized. Thank-you to everyone who voted, together we can make others feel less alone on their journey.
2023 marks the first year I ever actually chose a "Word of the Year". If you're new to this concept, it's an intention you set at the beginning of a new year.I approached it in a spiritual way by listening to my intuition and allowing whatever word or phrase to come up.To be honest, I wasn't thrilled with what surfaced. Neither were a few friends who tried to talk me out of it;)But I decided to stick with what popped into my head, and go through the year open to what this word would mean.Tune in to hear what I learned, and how listening to your intuition is NEVER a bad thing.

3 Goals I am ”Letting Go” Before the New Year

If you're like me, you LOVE setting big goals at the beginning of the year. ps: I love this about us:)The problem is, if you set your sights TOO HIGH and consistently don't reach your goals, you can end up losing confidence. Learning to trust yourself by doing what you say you will do, builds self-worth. After revisiting the dreams I wrote down in January, I've had to come to terms with the truth: I'm not going to reach some of them.So, instead of telling you to push HARDER for the last stretch of 2023, I'm sharing three goals that I DIDN'T reach, and how I am reframing these "failures" before setting intentions in the new year.Tune in for a (slightly embarrassing) list of unreached goals...

I'm pretty sure this is what they call a "hot take" ;)I see a lot of people talking about becoming business owners so they can have total "freedom", and while this is part of the end goal, there is a myth around what this actually means.Tune in for a dose of reality when it comes to entrepreneurship and the expectations around "freedom".
