Today’s episode is a masterclass on finding your purpose, listening to your gut, and never giving up (no matter what other people say).
So many of you write in asking for advice about purpose that I’ve decided to introduce you to a guest whose life story is the epitome of purpose.
You’re about to meet a woman who went from serving up stacks of pancakes at Denny’s to creating a billion-dollar product that would help millions of women around the world feel confident in their own skin.
It was such a success that L'Oréal recently bought her company for $1.2 billion dollars.
I’m talking about none other than Jamie Kern Lima, the founder of It Cosmetics.
And if you think that her purpose in life was to create a cosmetics company, you’d be wrong.
The topic of purpose is essential and misunderstood, so today I’ll teach you how to truly find your purpose using Jamie’s inspiring story and tactical tools every step of the way.
In fact, her takeaways are so good that I refer to her as the “Professor of Purpose,” because by the end of this episode, you’ll be closer to finding yours.
Learn how today. Class is in session with one of the most successful self-made women today.
