Mindset

Your work should be profitable and meaningful; you should succeed by being yourself; and doing so shouldn’t feel lonely and hard. That’s what I’m here to help you do.

Hello there. My name is Helene Desruisseaux (“Desrusso”), and I’m a bridge between business and spirit. By spirit, I mean both Your spirit, who you really are, and Spirit, your source of inspiration and strength, whatever that is for you.
My work helps you:

Make sure your work is compatible with your true nature; your life purpose, [...]

Top 3 ways self sabotage stops you

You don’t give yourself permission to get what you want. Even if you’re finally over the “I don’t deserve” syndrome and think this doesn’t apply to you, I invite you to look again. Is there any chance you feel a duty, a responsibility to other people or to an ideal? Might you be entertaining thoughts [...]

Success, according to Will Smith

I’ve always liked his acting and his “energy vibe” but this movie introduced me to the depth of the man, his philosophy about life and success.

Now you can’t all be like Will nor should you be. It’s all about being yourself and finding your way within the laws of the universe.

What if life just sucks?

That’s what life transition coach Paula Harvey and I talked about in a recent teleseminar. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?
Actually, it was! Let’s be realistic, sometimes life is difficult and we really feel beaten down, or we have people in our life who are going through a bad time and find it hard to believe in [...]

The power of intention or coincidence…again?

I wondered whether to let you see my convoluted thinking, but what the heck, here it is.
This summer we’ve had a lot of daddy-long-legs (a type of spider) in the bathroom. Who knows why; maybe there was a nest in the laundry conduits.
I used to have major spider phobia and though I’m no longer as [...]

Complaining as a misguided creative act

We’ve been going through a heat wave, and of course some people have been complaining, even though we waited a long time this year for summer weather.
Most of us know that complaining is not the most evolved behavior we could have.
Yet it’s quite tempting to do because it provides some kind of emotional relief; it’s [...]

Learning from a lost dog

A lot of my lessons seem to come in a “4 legs and fur” package and I had one today that applies to all of us.
I saw my cat panic all of a sudden and looked to see what triggered him. Running through the trees in the back yard was a flash of golden fur; [...]

Entropy and what that means to your life

Entropy is a law of thermodynamic physics and I’ll spare you its formula and exact scientific definition.
A “lay person’s” definition, according to “thefreedictionary.com” is:
“The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity”, or “The inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society”
Ok, so…how is that relevant [...]

Marketing through being rather than doing

One of my colleagues also attended Baeth Davis’s Life Purpose Summit last week and like most people attending live events, she wanted to make some connections that would benefit her business.
She had been to a number of other events in the past and hadn’t made the impact she had hoped, so she was finding herself [...]
