  • Do you think Oprah went right from waitress to world-recognized thought leader?! Heck no.

  • Do you think Marie Forleo rolled out B-School her first year in business?! Absolutely not.

Their careers didn’t fall out of thin air. They spent years perfecting their craft, tweaking their processes and making shifts towards their big dreams.
