Ep 159: How I Built a Million Dollar Business

Lately, I’ve been getting the same question over and over: How did you become so successful, so fast?And when people ask that, they usually mean the numbers. Yes, I left a career in the innovation field, started my own coaching and leadership practice, and made $360K in my first year. Four years later, it’s a million-dollar business. But the real success wasn’t financial.The real success was this: Creating a vision for a whole new version of my career and myself… Diving in headfirst off a high dive… Committing fully, going deep, moving fast, and never looking back.I had never owned a business before. I had always been a leader inside organizations. So from the outside, it looked like an anomaly. But from the inside, it was the result of very specific inner and outer work.In this episode, I walk you through exactly what made the difference.What You’ll Learn in This EpisodeWhy belief is everything. Just like my son picking up a guitar and declaring, “I’m a guitarist,” the people who move quickly are the ones who allow themselves to be who they are becoming before they have proof.How to clean up the mind. Our thoughts create our emotions, our actions, our results—and then we collect evidence to prove whatever we already believe. To build a new future, we have to deliberately change the belief system, not just the behavior.Why your energy is your most precious resource. Your time, focus, and life force are not free. When you stop leaking energy in every direction and start investing it intentionally, everything accelerates.How to work with the subconscious. The brain filters out opportunities that don’t match what it believes is possible. Through visualization, emotional processing, and unconscious reprogramming, you train your nervous system to recognize the future you’re creating as “safe” and “real.”Why you must be willing to feel anything. Fear, doubt, cringe, imposter syndrome—none of these are problems when you know how to feel them without letting them stop you.How to use the same process innovators use. Vision. Iteration. Obstacle strategy. Milestones. Aligned daily action. A simple, regenerative system that turns ideas into reality.Why community changes everything. Being in rooms with high-level, high-vibration women leaders raises your nervous system, your standards, your belief in what’s possible. You rise to the level of the room.This is the exact recipe I’ve used to:Go from burned out and broke to building a million-dollar businessCreate time freedom and deep family connectionTransform my body, my relationships, and my leadershipLive a life that includes snowy mountain days with my kids and beach strategy sessions with women CEOsIt’s also the exact work I teach inside the Moxie Mastermind.Because the world needs women leaders right now.There is no more waiting. And I am all-in on helping women rise.So I’ve made my journey from burned out to blissed out, the thing I’m doing to help other women, teaching the three steps I took to get here. How to connect with Marie:On the Web | The Local BloomInstagram: @the.bloom.coachAll Things Marie on LinkTreeJOIN THE BLOOM ROOM!We'll take all these ideas and apply them to our lives.
