\u201cEverything is <\/strong><\/em>figureoutable<\/g>.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n

These words from Marie Forleo<\/a> burrowed in my brain, like a secret weapon to draw on whenever startup life got too scary, too overwhelming, too MUCH.<\/p>\n

It worked.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve admired Marie for years. Her mantra of \u201cbuilding a business and a life you love\u201d totally resonated with me, because really, why can\u2019t you have both? I love her sound bites of wisdom (aka \u201ctweetables<\/g>\u201d) and how she dances at the start of each MarieTV episode. She just speaks a language that I connect with as a female founder.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 In the early days of my business, I made a list of inspiring female entrepreneurs that I dreamed would one day use Flytographer:<\/p>\n

Oprah<\/strong>
Ellen<\/strong>
Sara Blakey of Spanx<\/strong>
Alli Webb of DryBar<\/strong>
Marie Forleo<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I loved playing make-believe in my mind, imagining how delighted they\u2019d be with their photos, how much fun they\u2019d have touring Paris, Dubai, Tokyo with their local Flytographer, how they\u2019d call me and tell me how happy they were that I\u2019d invented this business \u2013 pretty much exactly how I felt towards each of these powerhouse women who came before me and built incredible brands that I adore.<\/p>\n

A couple of weeks ago this dream came true. I was riding a tram in Lisbon with Shay from my concierge team. We\u2019d had an incredible meetup the day before with our Lisbon Flytographers, so we were already in good spirits. As we zipped up and down the steep winding alleys of Chiado, we got a message saying that Marie Forleo had posted about us on Instagram.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
