Episode 19: “Don’t get stuck on where you would rather be and lose focus on making the best of where you are…” – Soulful Conversation with Gaëtan Chapoteau.
Gaëtan Chapoteau was born and raised in Haiti, dropped out of school to traveled to Miami at the age of 23 to pursue a life of entrepreneurship. He’s the father of two teenagers and a newborn and is the owner of two businesses in the Technology field.
As an encouragement to entrepreneurs that are afraid to take risks; Gaëtan shared he left Haiti at age of 23 without the agreement or support of his parents with $800 in savings. He managed to find a job two weeks after his arrival, made amazing friendships, produced blowout results as an employee at DHL, created his first IT business that made him his first million dollar two years later and only increased his income above a million dollar three years in a row. His success was exhilarating and he had a hard time dealing with his performance; he learned to be responsible from the excess income he was producing and very different problems arose from that point that we could discuss at a later date.
This is my first my first time featuring a man on my show and I must admit I was a bit apprehensive about it. However, I really enjoyed it and Gaëtan shared some great insights for entrepreneurs and am really happy I accepted his request to join me as a guest on my podcast. And I’m not saying this because he’s my cousin. 🙂
During our conversation Gaëtan and I discussed his entrepreneurial journey, fear of success or as he calls it fear of being responsible with money when we receive a huge sum. He shared his thoughts on the value us women entrepreneurs can add and his thoughts on women empowerment from a man’s perspective especially in the entrepreneurial world.
