Meet Marie Forleo, a self-made woman from New Jersey who has carved her own path in the world of digital entrepreneurship. Her passionate pursuit and relentless dedication have led her to create a digital platform that reaches millions of people around the globe. From award-winning web shows and podcasts to best-selling books, Marie has left an indelible mark on the world of personal development and business coaching.
The Genesis of a Visionary
Born and raised in a modest Italian-American home in New Jersey, Marie’s journey to success was far from a typical rags-to-riches story. She didn’t have an MBA, a large bank account, or fancy degrees to her name. What she did have was an unwavering belief that everything in life is “figureoutable.” This mantra, instilled in her by her mother, would become the bedrock of her success.
This belief, encapsulated in her New York Times best-selling book Everything is FigureoutableLife throws at us a multitude of problems and challenges. But what if everything really is "figureoutable"? Could that change your life? (Book Review), has not only shaped her attitude towards life but has also become the cornerstone of her entrepreneurial journey. It has enabled her to navigate the ups and downs of life and business with resilience and unwavering determination.
The Catalyst for Change
Marie’s journey into entrepreneurship wasn’t initiated by a grand vision or a profound epiphany. Instead, it was sparked by a series of seemingly unrelated interests. She was passionate about a plethora of diverse fields such as writing, hip-hop, psychology, entrepreneurship, spirituality, fitness, and philanthropy. The struggle of trying to fit into a conventional mould led her to create her own path.
She shed the security of a 9-5 job, took on multiple odd jobs, and began to slowly build her coaching business from the ground up. This unconventional journey led her to coin the term Multipassionate Entrepreneur, a testament to her refusal to be confined to a conventional box.
From Passion to Purpose
Marie’s journey shows that you don’t need to have everything figured out from the start. Whether you’re looking to start a business, amplify your voice, or find more joy in your life, Marie offers a roadmap to your dreams.
She is a host of the MarieTV, award-winning weekly show, and offers several online training programs designed to help people find their voice, build their dream business, and create more freedom in their lives. These programs include B-School, a comprehensive online business school, The Copy Cure, a course that helps you find your writing voice and get results, and Time Genius, a program that shows you the path to time freedom.
