CEO and founder of Entrepreneur Heart, Thais Eliasen is a Public Relations consultant, entrepreneur, and mom of four. Thais helps small businesses to focus on their business strategy of development, brand awareness, recognition & positioning, as well as fundraising guidance and execution.
Today, Thais shares how her foundations were made in a lovely family of exceptional communicators who used their talents to help others in The Salvation Army, where Thais worked as well. Helping others and building the community by giving and receiving are the values she firmly stands for, and she explains how businesses built through communities are growing much faster.
Thais served people through non profit, corporate, and now, her entrepreneurial business by cultivating relationships and bringing people together. Thais is a big risk taker, but she always stays authentically herself no matter if she needs to ‘dress up’ differently for all life’s situations.
She strongly believes that without a plan and vision, business owners feel lost, discouraged, and distracted, and that is why every business needs help with a good strategy for their dreams to become reality. Thais shares the three most important tips for “getting out there”. Thais explains why nothing bad comes out of good, and why business owners should not ask for magic pill but be prepared for a marathon and longevity.
