Listen on…
Marie Forleo has been in the online entrepreneurship game for seventeen years. She's appeared on Oprah, been interviewed by Tony Robbins, hung out with Richard Branson.
…and she still doesn’t feel like she’s ever had a “big break.”
Yes, really.
The whole “big break” thing is a myth, Marie says. And that's not because she doesn't know how it feels to wish for one! She remembers sitting in her studio apartment, staring at the computer screen, fantasizing about the “fairy business godmother” who would sweep in and discover her potential.
But the career she's built today–the best-selling books, the hugely popular MarieTV series, the constant stream of success stories from her B School training program who approach her on the street to thank her for changing their lives–didn't come from a single amazing opportunity being dropped into her lap.
“What I’ve been able to see now, in hindsight, is there is no single opportunity that anyone else can give you that is more important for your success than the small daily actions you must take every day.”
Great quote, right? There's more to come. Every question I asked Marie in our interview brought some amazing sound bites–I was scrambling to write them all down! To get a taste of her wisdom in these quotes…listen to the whole episode for Marie's insights on how to overcome perfectionism and self-doubt, the main way to unite your audience into a tribe, and what daily actions you must take to achieve the success you desire!
