Who is Marie Forleo?
Born and raised in New Jersey, Marie Forleo is a renowned business coach, a motivational speaker, author of two #1 New York Times bestselling books, and the host of the online television show Marie TV. Phew, that’s a mouthful of accolades!
After receiving her college degree in business, Marie worked as a trading assistant on the super hectic and stressful floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
After realizing she isn’t suited for the 9-5 grind, she left her job at the NYSE and began doing odd jobs. These jobs included everything from bartending, to waiting tables and choreographing hip-hop dance sequences for MTV.
During this time, she slowly and gradually built a life and business coaching company from the ground up. The company, which is called the Marie Forleo International, focuses on helping small businesses get started on the right path. It also contains personal development training and guidance for new and upcoming entrepreneurs.
Marie Forleo’s Rise to Fame
Forleo has met and interacted with multiple big names in the media industry. In 2011, the founder of the Virgin Group and fellow philanthropist Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson invited Forleo to personally mentor aspiring young entrepreneurs in his Centre for Entrepreneurship. Forbes.com has listed her website as one of the “Top 100 Websites for Entrepreneurs”.
Even the famous Oprah Winfrey has called Forleo “a thought leader for the next generation.” Marie also spoke to 9,000+ entrepreneurs at Grant Cardone’s GrowthCon in February 2020.
Marie Forleo has also authored 2 international bestselling books. Released in 2008, her first book was titled, Make Every Man Want You: How to Be So Irresistible You’ll Barely Keep from Dating Yourself!
Then in 2019, she published Everything is Figureoutable: One Simple Belief to Create Unstoppable Success. This second book reflects her decade of experience “in the trenches” building a lucrative business—and personal brand—as a modern female entrepreneur.
Marie Forleo’s philosophy on success is to trust in yourself, follow your heart, and start taking action instead of getting stuck in contemplation. She believes that whatever kind of work you do, whether you’re running your own business or working for someone else, approaching it with a creative and entrepreneurial spirit is vital to leading a fulfilled life.
Marie Forleo is married to Joshua Atwill Pais, an American actor and acting coach who she married in 2006. According to online estimates, she has a net worth of $14 million.
