Marie Forleo had so much wisdom to share:
First, did you know that she had side jobs for seven years? Also, she didn’t take a job with great benefits to pursue a career as a coach (She was 23 years old).

.@marieforleo shares that there was a little voice inside her that said “this isn’t what I should be doing.” – I had that little voice inside me too, and took so much courage to leave a comfy job to pursue my dreams and goals.#BlogHer18 pic.twitter.com/LwZqd9VdmW
