Must-listen moments:

[00:27:25 ] Money doesn't buy you happiness. Because I had the money and I had the dream house and I was miserable, but I didn't have a purpose.

[00:47:06] I look at Google trends a lot…I also use a SWOT analysis, which is strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. So before I make a major decision that's going to cost money, I think the SWOT analysis is more important than even a business plan.

[00:59:28] I believe that success comes out of a lot of little failures. And building the tolerance up to go through those failures, that's what real success is.

Climbing your way to the top is no small feat, especially when you’ve grown up in foster care and had to fend for yourself. Melitsa Waage’s journey highlights her resilience, from overcoming a challenging childhood and a difficult divorce to building a phenomenal community-driven business.

In this episode, you’ll also hear:

• Addressing unmet needs with passion and creativity

Must-listen moments:

[00:02:33] Even though I was shaking, and I was nervous, I loved sharing my story of my past, of coming from adversity and creating something for myself. And I said this is what I'm supposed to do.

[00:21:04 ]That's what I'm passionate about. I've had a couple of people that have come to be entrepreneurs, and within maybe six months to a year, they have their own businesses. Again, it's not about me. It's about my community, and I'm like a mama bear when it comes to them. How can I support and immediately go and fight for them if I have to?

[00:33:32] I learned one thing, if you need advice, go to the mirror and ask yourself. And look at yourself in the eyes. Your soul can't lie to you, and your eyes are the window to your soul.
