Summary
Hardly anyone else alive has lived a life so publicly as Caprice Bourret, the model, singer, businesswoman - one of the most high profile personalities in the world, and one of the most photographed women of all time.
On this weeks episode of the On a Mission Podcast, Caprice talks about what life is like when you're persistently being seen through a lens, how the scrutiny of strangers can lead to a very warped sense of reality, the business empire she's built behind the scenes, and the resilience you find in reinvention. Get set for an inspirational tale from a true living legend...
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- People often only want to see the veneer of others - the public-facing side, without giving a thought to the inner workings of a person. Caprice is a fabulous example of being written off as simply a model, when in reality, much of her considerable fortune has been amassed through entrepreneurial ventures.
- The greatest achievements in life come from the gifts we give ourselves. If we can reach a place in life where we can look upon the fortunes we've built with pride, it's the ultimate accolade.
- There's a reason why some people shine in this world. Those in the public eye are often held up as examples of success, but the reality is that they are the ones who never give up, and work harder than the average person.
- Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but we should always endeavour to raise others up rather than knock them down - especially within the female sex. We need to encourage, not deconstruct.
BEST MOMENTS
'In today's market you have to do it all!'
'I know what it's like not to eat and I never want to go back there again'
'I'm in the best place that I've ever been and it's because I put myself here. Not luck. Not God. It's Caprice'
'There are never problems, only solutions'

Fast forward to today, and life looks very different. Ellie committed to turning her life around for herself and her family. Following this commitment, she got to work and has now built multiple successful companies, as well as having created a multimillion-pound property portfolio from a standing start.
Ellie is now on a mission to make a positive impact and add value to others through her podcast which has attracted phenomenal guests worldwide. The show is specifically to help those trying to reach their full potential through its inspirational and motivational content, as well as challenging conventional wisdom to discuss all the “hot topics” in a relentless pursuit of the truth.
