Your Onion

Jeffrey has been a frequent guest on the podcast, and with that in mind, I wanted to see if I could peel away a few more layers to reveal the true Jeffrey Asselstine, Managing Director & Founder of Nelson Park Property.

Boho Social Restuarant is a new social place and foodie destination housed in a circular structure on top of Katara Beach Club. Stunning bohemian chic interiors by award-winning interior designer Paul Bishop and a menu that takes you on a culinary journey into the Americas, Asia, Southern Europe, and the Middle East.

If you have found yourself at rock bottom, tired, lacking energy, and failing to see anything positive happening in your life, don’t worry this is a turning point in your life. This is the start of a new chapter, a new direction, a new beginning within yourself and the people around you. Allow me to be your shining light and show you what untapped power you have inside of you and the recurring habits holding you back. Allow me to show you the various areas in your life that have not been fulfilled and that could make a difference for you and for others. Let me be your guide, hold your hand and take one step at a time towards the dreams and goals you had before. I look forward to meeting you.

From someone who has been there, I call and reach out to anyone that is going through the same experience, who is confused, dazed, and lost.  You might have lost your job, your company, you might have been demoted or had a cut in your salary. You might feel isolated working from home or just being at home with no work to go to. I am here to help, from someone who has experienced all the above, I know what it feels like, the emotions, the feelings, the thoughts that you go through. Let me be your guide and give you the tools to get you back on track, to be the best you can be. I look forward to meeting you.

So this is a shout out to all the business owners, entrepreneurs, and even managers and CEOs that have reached the top of their game and find that it's not what they dreamed of, or maybe you are at a point where being at the top is not fulfilling anymore, it becomes a routine that doesn’t get you excited and make you jump out of bed. Allow me to show you how to appreciate the position you are in and look at it in a different light, to use your time more efficiently that has a purpose, that will energize you and get you jumping out of bed each morning. To reconnect with family and friends you might have lost on the way to the top, to really be present this time around. If none of that resonates with you, then maybe it’s time to climb down, base jump, fly off the mountain, and look for new mountains to climb. Allow me to be your support, as it’s been some time since you tackled the climb and new skills will be needed for the journey down. I look forward to meeting you.

Are you at that point where your business/career/life is being taken to the next level where you feel the exhilaration and the buzz but you feel the uneasy ground below you or the bitterly cold wind around you? Allow me to be your support, your shield that takes you to that next level of success in your business/career/life. I look forward to meeting you.

When I finally got the chance to run my own business, that’s all I could think about. I was going to achieve this and prove to others that I could make this business work, but it would take my total concentration and dedication to make it work. I was my hardest critic, not allowing myself to rest or focus on anything else apart from making this company work. I would look after the team before looking after myself because I knew that I needed their support to make this company successful. I created a haven at the office where the outside world would not affect the creativity that happened within the company. My buzz was to hear laughter and conversations within the office, that people were enjoying what they loved to do. With that buzz came confidence within the team that we could tackle any project/client that came our way, and we did. I left my family behind at times physically there but mentally sitting in my office planning my next move. I would work all hours and then network, taking me further away from

When I made that move from my full-time, paycheque 9 to 5 job to an entrepreneur/business owner world I felt alone and lost. This was a world I wasn't used to, so I started to reach out to groups and organizations where experienced business owners, entrepreneurs, and business people would meet on a regular basis and talk about their industry, field of expertise, experience, and their highs and lows. I initially turned up in a mish-mash of clothes with conflicting colors and long hair, I felt uncomfortable, out of place, some people laughed at me, others turned away, as I just didn't look or speak the part. The words that they spoke seemed alien to me but I just listened, laugh when others laughed, drank when others drank, and slowly felt comfortable in the new environment I was in. I slowly found my voice by joining other business groups that wanted to hear your voice and gave me the opportunity each week to present myself and my company, the more I did it the more I became confident in myself. It made me loo

So where are you on your journey, is there a mountain you wish to climb? Maybe you are still looking from the crest of the hill wondering what path to take, maybe you are dealing with your comfort zone, family and friends that are trying to keep you safe, maybe you’ve met the climbers that fell at the first ridge and have put doubts in your mind that you are not equipped to climb that mountain. I was initially equipped with the basic climbing gear, which eventually got me to the top of the mountain but now over the years, I am equipped with the latest gear which makes the climb a lot easier. I can join you anywhere you like from the crest of the hill to walking along the path to the base of the mountain, anywhere on that mountain to the very top, please reach out to me. I look forward to meeting you. Music By: https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Picture By: Canva.com

If you’ve gone through the last two years trying to weather the storm, I am sure you feel mentally and physically exhausted. Maybe your storm is still overhead or maybe it's passed and the clouds have broken, either way, it's time to recharge your batteries. If you would like to explore more of how you can prepare yourself for the storm or the storm you are in, take shelter from the storm, embrace the storm,  and finally prepare for your ongoing journey please reach out to me. I look forward to meeting you. Music By: https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Picture By: Canva.com

As with anything in life, if you are going to achieve anything, you have to move out of your comfort zone of daily habits and routines, familiar people you meet daily, the time you spend watching tv or scrolling on social media. It can be a lonely journey at first, but the rewards are great, and the trip will be filled with color, new experiences, steep highs and lows, and endless life lessons. Being an entrepreneur or business owner, you are stepping out of your comfort zone daily, pushing the company or idea forward, putting yourself on the line, and looking for new opportunities. A powerful skill to have and learn is visualization. Visualize your journey, goals, and dreams as if they are already happening now in the present.

Ahhh, it’s good to be back. It’s nearly been a year since my last episode, and so much has happened. As a business owner, I celebrated ten years of running my company by taking the last few staff left, out for lunch and reminiscing about the good old days, Covid, and the vision for the future. When I look back at the events that happened in 2020 and 2021, the dark hole I ended up in, and the journey out of that hole, I am very grateful for the lessons learned, the support from family and friends, and the trust from clients.
