Running a business requires passion, sacrifice, excellent decision-making, and a solid support system. Without these things, many aspirants tend to give up easily. To help people arm themselves with these things, certain individuals go above and beyond in helping others develop great entrepreneurial mindsets. A perfect example of this is the husband and wife duo Stéph and Shay Schafeitel.
Stéph & Shay are best-selling authors, life and mind coaches, business leaders, and online influencers. They wrote the highly successful book Master Your Mindpower, which became a Wall Street Journal, Amazon, and USA Today bestseller. The duo’s valuable inputs as life coaches over the last 12 years are embedded in this book and have been instrumental in many people’s success.
Aside from authoring a world-renowned book, Stéph & Shay share their knowledge and expertise as mindpower coaches by speaking at virtual events. In addition, they have around 20 private clients every week who seek their guidance in improving their mindsets for more effective leadership. Through mindpower coaching, Stéph & Shay aim to make a positive impact in the lives of one billion people.
To Stéph & Shay, people need to increase their mental toughness and emotional resilience to succeed in any field, especially entrepreneurship. The pair’s primary target audience is business leaders exposed to the daily pressures of growing their businesses. Stéph & Shay know that each business owner needs to scale up their business for themselves, their clients, and their employees.
Before becoming a successful business owner with his wife, Stéph went through many challenges during his teenage years. When he was only sixteen, his father left, leaving Stéph shocked and not knowing what to do. During these years, he had to step up and tap into his mind power in order to succeed in school and life.
Stéph is no stranger to hard work because he worked for his father’s textile machinery spare parts business when he was young. His father could not afford to hire workers, so it was just him and his brother who functioned as the workforce helping their father. At a young age, both Stéph & Shay learned the value of working hard for a living, which carried over as they got older.
Stéph & Shay entered the mind and personal development industry using their collective experiences. Shay used her influence from modeling for various brands when people asked for some advice. Together, they found the idea of building a coaching brand built around mindpower, using Stéphane’s innate leadership skills.
Stéph & Shay saw the lack of many entrepreneurs’ self-awareness as a hindrance to maximizing their success. The pair maintains that mental toughness is not all about being rough and tough on the outside. It’s the courage and boldness to harness one’s strength of mind to develop self-awareness and improve daily.
Stéph & Shay hope to keep positively impacting more people’s mental health, especially during the pandemic. Moreover, they hope that more people will realize the power of the mind in weathering life’s storms and achieving goals.
