How B-School helped me start a business that fits in around my family

Make Your Business Dreams Come True With Marie Forleo’s B-School

“When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.” – Zen Proverb

In 2013 I was open and curious to discover what my true gifts and passions were – and then Marie Forleo appeared.

I watched her videos about how to start a business around doing what you already love. It got my cogs turning and opened up a fresh idea.

Next, B-School appeared. An incredible online course that teaches how to transform an idea into a successful business. I allowed my intuition to guide me.

Read my story here. I hope it inspires you to follow your business dreams.

Project Me was originally a book idea. It came to me in a vision when I was writing out my goals in January 2012. But it soon dawned on me that it was going to be damn hard to get a book publishing deal with absolutely no platform. No website, so social media – NOTHING. Why would a publisher be interested in what I had to say? I was ‘just a mother’…

I was fortunate enough to stumble across my business mentor Marie Forleo. I was drawn to her passion for teaching women how to reach for their dreams and create businesses and lives they love.

Marie Forleo B-School Bonuses

I’d only heard about Marie Forleo’s B-School a couple of days before registration was about to close. It only runs once a year and if I didn’t do it then I’d have to wait another whole year. It looked like exactly the training I needed  so I showed it to my husband and he agreed that it was everything I needed in one neat package.

I took a very deep breath, signed up with shaking hands, and then began jumping around the house singing, ‘I’m going to B-School!’ to the delight of my bewildered kids! I was beyond excited and I didn’t even know yet then how much it was going to positively change my life.

Marie Forleo B-School Reviews

B-School helped me to quickly launch a business I’m passionately in love with that fitted in around my family. I could work while my kids were in school, never miss any of their events, take holidays when we want – and be a positive role model for them. My kids became my assistants and I involved them in many decisions, including logo design and photography. When my son was 12 and I was running my first online course, he was my paid admin assistant and did a brilliant job! He’s now at university now  studying International Business and still helps me out on projects. 

Whenever my husband gets a job transfer and we have to move home and country, I simply take my business with me.

Oh – and remember that online presence I was lacking when I wanted to write a book and felt like a nobody? Fast forward to my amazement when my literary agent was handling the bidding war over my book publishing deal! Yep. True story. That goal I wrote down in 2012 is now a reality. ‘Project Me for Busy Mothers’ – available now on Amazon!

I owe it all to B-School for giving me the tools and strategies I needed to get my idea up off the ground and running. I’ve also seen it transform countless existing businesses. I give it two thumbs up if you are considering joining the next round of B-School! 

Now, Marie has invited me to be an affiliate partner of B-School. This means that everyone who joins B-School using my special link comes into my inner circle and I get to share all of these personal extra bonuses at no extra cost to you. If you have any Qs about any of this, drop me a line hello@myprojectme.com 

NOTE: REGISTRATION FOR B-SCHOOL 2024 OPENED ON FEBRUARY 8TH AND CLOSED ON FEBRUARY 22! 

There’s a chance she may run another round later this year. Get onto the B-School Interested List here and I will keep you in the loop and also let you know when Marie Forleo is running her free business trainings.

Here’s to your big juicy dream visions! 

Positively yours,

Marie Forleo and Kelly Pietrangeli

    Your story is so inspirational! I would love to scale up my jewellery making business but I’m very afraid of how that could interfere with the balanced life I’m just starting to enjoy (thanks to Project Me!). Part of me knows I can turn this into a profitable business but will that then make me crazy busy?

    I will watch the Marie training videos. Thanks as always for the great resources and your honesty about how you’ve gotten to the happy place you’re in today! ????

      The fear of success ALMOST stopped me from going ahead with this whole Project Me concept too Joanna, so I know exactly what you’re talking about! I was worried I’d be tipped out of balance and working crazy hours and that something else would have to give. But you know the amazing thing? I look back on my life before I launched Project Me and I ask myself, What did I used to DO that made me so busy before?! I still get to the gym 3x a week, I meditate and journal more than ever, I see my friends, I never work weekends or evenings so my work never infringes on my family life… Whatever used to keep me so busy before has just shrunk because I am so passionate about what I do now that it doesn’t really feel like work and I don’t waste time on unimportant stuff.

      If you do decide to do B-School via Project Me you’ll get my bonuses which include tools and resources and lots of my own personal tips for keeping a happy work-life balance. Let me know if you have more Qs! xx

    I did b school on your recommendation and it gave me the impetus to finally leave my soul sucking job and create something of my own. I am so excited to be on this new path. Thank you again Kelly for all of your support with the mindset and productivity so I have the space to actually do this! I highly recommend project me and b school to anyone reading this. 🙂

    Dear Kelly, many heartfelt thanks to you! Your story is inspiring! The bonuses you offered are many practical, helpful, hands on tutorials. I enjoyed your Project Me book and it was a relaxed start in the smaller, more intimate B-School FB group that you set up for us! Thank you, dearest Kelly, for your positivity, high energy and always encouraging words!
