Writer, Entrepreneur, & Fashionista Jessi Park on the Mindset for Success
“Your anxiety is lying to you. The heaviest burdens that we carry are the thoughts in our heads. You’re truly magnificent and have greatness within you. Stop letting the little voice win.”
~ Jessi Park
When it comes to entrepreneurship, there are few people who understand the many challenges, triumphs, hills, and valleys as well as Jessi Park.
She has come from trying to survive on unemployment to owning and operating multiple successful businesses. But it didn’t happen overnight - and a huge part of her current success has been a result of her cultivating a very particular mindset.
“One of the biggest obstacles I had to overcome was the negative self-talk and doubt that can creep in when pursuing an unconventional path,” Jessi shares. She believes that society often teaches us to value high-paying jobs with benefits, which can make it difficult to see the value in pursuing a different path. “I had to turn my mind in an alternate direction - and I have found that the rewards of being financially free and independent, and working for myself, are well worth the effort.”
And the rewards are endless. As the president of Inspired Insurance Solutions, Jessi has been recognized for her remarkable contributions to the insurance industry and has been ranked as one of the Top 25 Women-Owned Businesses in Orlando, Florida. While she never originally intended to work in the insurance industry, Jessi quickly realized her passion for helping people and providing expert guidance in the healthcare and life insurance sector. Her dedication to her clients and her team has earned her an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and the respect of her peers in the industry.
Now, having started two more businesses, Jessi shows an innovative leadership style and commitment to personal growth, making her a role model for aspiring entrepreneurs in any industry. She has several tips to help aspiring entrepreneurs to develop a mindset for success:
Believe in yourself: According to Jessi, the first step towards achieving success is believing in oneself. Having faith in one's abilities is crucial to overcoming obstacles and achieving goals. It is important to have a positive self-image and to avoid self-doubt.
Set clear goals: Another important tip for developing a success mindset is setting clear and achievable goals. Goals provide a sense of direction and purpose and help individuals stay focused and motivated. Jessi advises breaking down large goals into smaller, more manageable ones to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
Surround yourself with positive influences: Jessi believes that surrounding oneself with positive and supportive people is essential for success. Negative influences can be detrimental to one's mindset and can hinder progress towards achieving goals.
Embrace failure: Jessi encourages individuals to embrace failure as an opportunity for growth and learning. Rather than seeing failure as a setback, it is important to view it as a chance to learn from mistakes and to make necessary adjustments for future success.
Maintain a growth mindset: Finally, Jessi emphasizes the importance of maintaining a growth mindset. This involves being open to new experiences, learning opportunities, and challenges. A growth mindset allows individuals to continuously improve and evolve, setting them up for long-term success.
“I firmly believe that you can have whatever it is that you desire,” Jessi says. “It takes mental fortitude to push through the rough days, a belief in yourself that you will reach and deserve greatness, and most importantly consistency in working towards your goals every day.”
Since her outstanding success with Inspired Insurance Solutions, her nationwide brokerage that offers expert guidance in health, life, Medicare, and annuities, Jessi has also founded Elysian Parfums, a luxury niche perfume brand that offers high-quality fragrances made from the finest ingredients; and Execuluxe, a high-end executive travel bag brand that offers stylish and functional bags for the discerning traveler.
“I am so honored and privileged to be where I am,” Jessi says. “We just moved Inspired Insurance Solutions to Atlanta, Georgia; and it’s just beautiful here. I feel inspired every day.” Although Atlanta is typically recognized for its busy cityscape, it also offers ample natural scenery, and Jessi is excited to explore the larger plots of land and roomier homes in her new location. This relocation presents the potential for business expansion and the opportunity to embark on new ventures.
Elysian Parfums just launched its fifth original fragrance, and Execuluxe was recently featured in a fashion show in Winter Park, Florida, where ten separate looks were displayed on the runway, showcasing the brand's unique style and quality craftsmanship.
“I hope to see all three brands achieve new heights of success and profitability in the coming years, expanding their reach and providing customers with top-quality products and services that reflect my passion for excellence,” Jessi states.
