“Mission Possible” is Alexandre Mars’ motto when it comes to entrepreneurship. Alexandre Mars is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, Founder and CEO of the investment firm Blisce and the Epic Foundation. Mars began his career as an entrepreneur at the age of 17. Fifteen years later, after tireless work to launch and develop successful start-ups, he sold his last two companies to Publicis and BlackBerry.

In her new book, Let My Legacy Be Love, A Shortcut to Self-Loving, Beauchemin marries her lifelong love of storytelling and her passion for the extraordinary healing power of Neurolinguistics Programming (NLP). Through her own personal and professional work, she experienced the “eye-opening” power of NLP as a tool for better communication not only with others but also with yourself.  With a foundation built on neuroscience (understanding how the brain and central nervous system work together to play a huge part in your thoughts), you can begin to change the language in your head that may be telling you that you don’t deserve more, you aren’t good enough, or that you are not as valuable as o
