KEY TAKEAWAYS Loraine experienced multiple setbacks and challenges throughout her life, including job loss, ill health, and workplace bullying. However, she did not give up and found ways to support herself financially. Loraine's passion for online marketing and having her own business started in 1999 when she built her first website for marketing her own business as a fundraising consultant. Loraine faced another major setback when her long-term partner abruptly ended their relationship and threatened her with legal action. This led her to invest in herself and seek guidance from someone who could help her navigate her desired path. Loraine emphasizes the importance of finding a mentor or coach who can provide guidance and support in achieving success.
