Hey, I'm Marlene!

The typical rules of society?

I play by them like a jazz musician does with sheet music - more of a 'suggestion' than a hard-and-fast rule.

Tales of an orthodox career often accompany my name - the one they said was perfect for me.

You know the kind, right? Diplomas, corporate ladders, suits, and oh-so-coveted corner offices.

And, for a while, I almost believed them.

Sure, I was that A-grade student - the one who can zone out to fantasies during a boring lecture and still hit A’s on every test.

But was that me? Nope.

I was craving a taste of the unknown, the excitement of different cultures, languages, people.

I yearned for the endless landscape of possibility, where the grass wasn't just greener; it was an abundant botanical garden, tempting me with its luscious hues.

So I dared to diverge, choosing a path deemed 'less glorious': a Tourism Diploma.

A rebellious move in some eyes, but in mine? A ticket to freedom.

What followed? A cocktail of remarkable experiences.

- Summers working at a naturist center in Europe.

- A thrilling 6-month internship in the lively city of London.

- Backpacking through Mexico, armed with naught but a hearty spirit and a phrasebook.

- A whirlwind tour of Europe with my better half.

- Uncovering the hustle and magic of NYC.

And the best part?

These weren't checkboxes on some ambitious life plan.

They were spontaneous adventures – an ode to my insatiable curiosity and love for freedom.

But when the idea of a 9-5 job reared its head, my heart sank.

The mundane rhythm of the corporate world felt like an iron cage slowly closing in on me.

Enter: the world of online hustling.

2020 - remember that rollercoaster ride?

In the midst of that chaos, my husband and I found ourselves on a quest for survival.

Our marketing agency in tourism and hospitality took a hit.

A smorgasbord of side hustles became our playing field, as we dipped our toes into the entrepreneurial pool.

Along this bumpy road, Notion caught my eye.

An organizational wizard, a haven for my creativity, and a platform to help fellow entrepreneurs, all rolled into one.

The universe was playing my tune, and I was ready to dance.

Fast-forward to now: I'm an entrepreneur, driven by the thrill of the journey, with its ups and downs.

And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.

The thing that lights me up, that sets my soul on fire, is entrepreneurship.

And now, it's time to share the magic.

Let's set the stage! You've got a dream, a fire in your belly, and a drive to make it happen.

But the online business world can be like navigating an intense roller coaster, full of loops, drops, and unexpected turns.

I get it. I've been there.

Being a solopreneur is facing this reality too…

Picture this:

Imagine we're sitting together in a cozy French café (yes, I'm French! Wine and good food run in my veins), sharing our entrepreneurial dreams over a cup of coffee.

I'm here to help you build your business. I'll be your guide, walking with you every step of the way, sharing all my mistakes, my successes, and everything in between.

But don't expect me to sugarcoat things. Online businesses are hard work, but the reward is absolute freedom. The kind of freedom that's addicting - once you taste it, there's no going back.

Let's get real and create a business that fulfills us, not drain us.

Together, we'll turn your dreams into goals, your goals into plans, and your plans into reality.

Are you ready to join me on this journey? To unlock the life you've always dreamed of?

You're stronger than you think. 💛

You can do this.

So, pull up a chair, and let's get started on your solopreneur adventure!
