The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett: E99: How I Built 5 Multi-Million Dollar Companies: Marcia Kilgore

Marcia Kilgore is responsible for revolutionising the beauty industry through the multiple multi-million dollar businesses she’s founded and built. She’s the woman behind Beauty Pie, Fit Flops, Bliss spas, Soap and Glory and Soaper Duper.  Marcia moved to New York with just $300, which she spent on a gym membership, became a personal trainer and started a one room studio where she provided facials and spa treatments. Within a few years she’d built a spa empire and sold it to LVMH for millions and millions of dollars. What’s incredible about Marcia is she never stops moving and innovating, and she hasn’t just got lucky once with one successful business, but has managed to do it again and again. Now, Marcia runs a beauty empire. Today she tells us what it took to get to that point, what she’s learnt along the way, and what she had to give up.  Topics: Your early years The gym & moving to New York The start of Bliss Attention to detail and maintaining a high standard What is it about you that made you successful Can you teach people to have good ideas Selling Bliss Starting Soap and Glory Coming up with new ideas Why was Soap and Glory so successful and selling it Having an entrepreneurial partner The death bed test Choosing yourself rather than others choosing you What are you playing for now Failures  Advice for people of where to start Marcia: https://www.instagram.com/marcia.kilgore/?hl=en https://twitter.com/marciakilgore The Diary Of a CEO live - Sign up here - https://g2ul0.app.link/diaryofaceolive Sponsors: https://uk.huel.com/  https://www.fiverr.com/ceo
