Attracted by art, she studied visual arts, but as it&#8217;s sometimes difficult to break into this field, she decided to work in retail. Although she enjoyed the responsibilities, she felt she didn&#8217;t have enough freedom to execute her ideas. After a few years, this job no longer allowed her to excel and realize her full potential. Myriam needed more challenge\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Let&#8217;s Start Up program, much more than a training course<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Myriam then decided to start producing candles using soy wax and essential oils, and to create her own company: EcoLoveStores. However, she needed the tools to set up a structure for her business project. With the Let&#8217;s Start Up program, she acquired the notions she was lacking, particularly those related to research and development, marketing and accounting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program also enabled Myriam to test her products with the other women in her cohort and gain a better understanding of her customers&#8217; needs. She confides that she could have given up a thousand times over, but today she&#8217;s confident in the quality of her candles, which truly live up to what she wants to deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull is-style-fond-rose-degrade\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:28% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/fondationlisewatier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fondationlisewatier_avril2023371252-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5790 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fondationlisewatier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fondationlisewatier_avril2023371252-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/fondationlisewatier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fondationlisewatier_avril2023371252-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/fondationlisewatier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fondationlisewatier_avril2023371252-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fondationlisewatier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fondationlisewatier_avril2023371252.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>Looking back, Myriam says the Let&#8217;s Start Up program was much more than a training course. Having decided to make a professional reorientation that was not well understood by those close to her, she needed to connect with women entrepreneurs who had the same aspirations as her. As a result, she discovered a network of mutual support, where she forged lasting relationships. Myriam also appreciates the long-term support offered by the Foundation, even after she has graduated from Let&#8217;s Start Up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On two occasions, Myriam has had the chance to take part in a small marketplace held during fundraising events organized by the Lise Watier Foundation. As a result, she came to realize the importance of connecting with customers face-to-face, rather than relying exclusively on online sales. After this first positive experience, she was hooked, and it gave her wings to create new products.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far, 2023 has been a busy year, with several short-lived store participations on her calendar. The Let&#8217;s Start Up program has enabled Myriam to develop EcoLoveStores and take it to the next level. Today, she&#8217;s more than proud of her entrepreneurial journey, and continues her efforts while cherishing the dream of opening her own boutique in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">TO LEARN MORE ON MYRIAM&#8217;S COMPANY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ECOLOVESTORES<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecolovestores.com\/\">www.ecolovestores.com<\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lesfeessorcieres.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/fondationlisewatier.com\/en\/impact\/testimonials\/the-story-of-joanie\/\">Read the testimonial of Joanie<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Myriam When the call of entrepreneurship is stronger than all else When she was very young, Myriam enjoyed playing online games, where she ran a small store selling a variety of products.
