The Oliver Schirach Show

Welcome to my first interview with Eli Zheleva for “The Oliver Schirach Show”. Eli is a founder of 6 companies, a strong woman that is looking to make a difference to businesses and their people. Furthermore she is a marketer, speaker, mentor and author. This episode has been long in the making and you will not be disappointed from the deep insight we get from Eli. For a business woman she shares a lot of her soft skills together with life stories. You learn about business tips and many spiritual and personal improvement tips anyone can apply at any moment.

3 words describing her. Live with ELI: Enthusiasm, Love and Integrity

The colour she would be: Eli strives to be Transparent to allow all the other colours to shine.

Ego Fun Fact: Eli was having a lecture at Cambridge without even having a Bachelor degree.

More we talked about:

• “The MAD Project” Making A Difference
• The “What is your Excuse” project
• The limitations we put on ourself. If we don’t believe them we get further in life
• Put willingness, time, passion and energy in a project
• If you have a BIG enough “WHY” you can do anything
• Don’t set easy goals. If your goal is not big enough, your effort is not big enough
• Eli’s “Why”. Challenges as a teenager and situations she never wants to be in again
• She “Lives to Give” and wants to empower people to have confidence
• How she was forced to listen more to her body
• How becoming a clown was her way to avoid her own pain
• Others are a reflection of yourself
• Her process of growing and faking it until she made it
• People remembering her for her positive energy and language
• Judgement detox helped her being more happy and relaxed
• Judgements in others are the things that we don’t accept in ourself
• Self-reflections: You get the same lesson until you learn it
• Love is the answer
• When hurt by others share love and forgiveness with them, as well to yourself for being triggered
• Forgiveness is a gift for us
• Spirituality is very individual. It’s were you stop thinking and you start feeling
• Mood tracking
• Our ego keeps us stuck, it judges us to protect us
• Love: If we learn to manage our ego and judgment, all that is left is LOVE

Advice:
