success

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, [...]

A really fun video that will inspire you to be yourself

I just saw a video that pulled my heart strings because it spoke to two of my top values:

My love of animals
The fact that we need to be who we are rather than try to mold ourselves into what we “should” be, and that’s for our own happiness and because we’ll be much more successful [...]

I just want to do my work and hate this stuff about selling and money

I just had a conversation that may sound really familiar to you. This fantastic, talented, big-hearted healer was saying: “I just want to do my healing and spiritual work and hate all this stuff about selling and money!”
Don’t you resonate? I sure do; even though I’m really good at helping other people with their [...]

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 [...]

Knowing your life purpose; why does it matter?

Not everyone thinks that “finding your life purpose” is important. Instead, they think that it is:

Too self-absorbed and even self-indulgent
Not a high priority, especially in difficult times
A personal growth topic to be pursued at best in your spare time

And I can understand that point of view; I probably would have said something similar in [...]

Do you really know how to ground yourself?

In the last post, I gave myself good reasons why I should make it a priority to ground myself. Yours might be slightly different, but being heart-based entrepreneurs, we’re likely to have similar ideas.
There are a number of popular techniques designed to help you ground yourself which you’ve likely heard:

Visualizing chords connecting the center of [...]

Being grounded; why bother?

How many times have you heard the advice to “be more grounded”. It’s one of those motherhood statements that you agree with but don’t always remember to implement.
And if you don’t implement something it either means that you haven’t made it a priority or you don’t know how. That’s certainly been the case with me.
So [...]

Challenges of being a sensitive person in business

In the last post, I described some of the ways in which an entrepreneur, executive or manager’s sensitivity would be an asset in doing their work.
Most sensitives would tell you that it’s been difficult functioning in our mainly action-oriented, fast-paced and attention-seeking culture and business world. For example, sensitive persons would tend to:

Find confrontations [...]
