Margalit Grunberger’s mother, an Auschwitz Concentration Camp survivor, was a coach before coaching was even a thing. When the world wasn't going according to plan, she used to tell Margalit, "Don't worry, we just need to train our brains to see things differently." Margalit’s mother believed that each of us holds the power to create the life we want and she was steadfast in not allowing circumstances to determine happiness or outcomes. 

Adopting this mindset, Margalit became an incredibly successful entrepreneur while following her mothers sage advice: training her brain, questioning her thoughts, and ultimately becoming a coach. 

Margalit helps us answer today's question: What Would You Do If You Didn't Have to Do It Perfectly? She's a Professional Business & Life Coach who is deeply passionate about coaching, personal growth, and business success. Margalit co-founded Gotcha Covered; a multi-million dollar bedding company that she and her partner ran for over 20 years, finally selling it in 2016. Margalit holds a B.S. in Nutrition from Ohio State University, and is a certified coach with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). Margalit’s vast business and life experience led her to discover that by letting go of the desire for perfection, we can begin to play with endless possibilities.

We had a fantastic conversation about self-confidence, resilience, removing the idea of perfection from our lives, and taking risks by stepping into the unknown. Margalit shared brilliant insights about how our own limiting beliefs stop us from doing what we want to do, and steps we can take to avoid allowing that to happen in the future. We also talked about not making excuses and her extraordinary story of finding the love of her life and getting married for the first time at age 60!
