We had the good fortune of connecting with Gabrielle Fafard and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Gabrielle, what was your thought process behind starting your own business?
Ive always had big goals/ dreams since being a kid. I started my first business at 10 selling desserts and sandwiches to my moms co workers. From the age of 18, ive owned 3 different businesses and I now own my own brokerage in healthcare. I believe working hard at a younger age can set you up for the rest of your life. I define success as being able to buy time back. Breakfast on the beach during a week day, taking a day off when I need a mental reset, taking trips and traveling with friends and family instead of worrying about my next pay check. being able to do what I want, when I want it and give back more to the community. Although it can be difficult at times, owning a business has always been a goal of mine. My thought process has always been to grow daily and become the best version of myself mentally, physically and financially.

What should our readers know about your business?
I am a licensed health advisor in 30 states that specialize in small businesses, families and individuals. What sets me apart is I am committed to securing the best health coverage for my clients and ensuring they are in the best position possible. With a wealth of experience and personalized service, I prioritize your unique needs, ensuring you get the most suitable and cost-effective insurance solutions. Getting to where I am now has not been easy, but its defiantly been rewarding. A huge lesson I learned is you need to be your #1 cheer leader, even on the slow weeks and believe that no matter what, you will and can succeed

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Im a pretty simple person when it comes to doing fun things. I would defiantly visit all my favorite restaurants and sip margaritas by the beach. I enjoy kayaking and any type of outdoor activity

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I want to thank my mentors Petrina and Lee for always believing in me and pushing me to become the best version of myself in my business. They are always willing to help, take time out of their busy days to help me get over obstacles I faced in the beginning of my business. They were my biggest cheer leaders and believed in me even on the days I didnt believe in myself. My mom and boyfriend too have been a huge support system and helped me mentally and financially when I first started this journey and I couldnt have asked for a more support system
