    Marci’s Aha Moment

    When the investment group that Marci joined went Chapter 7, she lost a part of herself. But then she realized that failure was actually her biggest success in life because it led her to a spiritual journey that she’s still on right now.

    Marci no longer wanted to work for a corporate company. Instead, she’s betting on herself because she is the brand. Marci then decided to have her own small company where she had to do everything. But when people ask her what she does, she still tells them that her number one job is her. When you go through change, you learn to live differently.

    The Power to Create the Life You Want

    It’s very important to take some time to tune into yourself and check if you’re still in there. We get to choose as we do everything in life. And we have to give ourselves more credit and know we're entitled to choose to live the life we want to live.

    It's not always happiness and flowers. There's some sadness as well. And when those feelings come in, acknowledge them. Be self-aware of what's happening. Then surround yourself with the smartest people in the room because that collective is what makes you successful.

    This is your one and only life. What are you going to do with it? Are you going to wake up 20 or 40 years from now and realize you still haven’t don’t what you should’ve done? Whatever it is that you wish to do, there's no reason to not incorporate some version of that into your life. But you have to believe you’re entitled to do that, then figure out your roadmap to get to that place. You're not just doing what you love. You're making a living doing what you love.
