Meet Marina

A multi-award winning entrepreneur, business advisor, author and speaker. She has created programs that not only help business professionals discover and accelerate their superpowers to grow their business but ways to amplify their impact on humanity and the planet.
Marina has inspired people globally

through her teachings at events, online and one to one. At the age of 25, Marina started her business consulting career helping companies set up new business units. For the next ten years Marina worked with large companies helping them grow their business. Following a near death experience and grateful for a second chance at life, Marina's focus shifted to working with people passionate about impacting humanity and the planet.

A curious mind asks a curious question.
How did they do it?

Her quest to impact millions of people led to 5 years of research. As a humble student seeking to learn from the world's top philanthropic billionaires, Marina saw a pattern emerge. They all adopted success strategies to overcome the odds, build a business from zero to hero and channel their wealth into game-changing philanthropic projects. From the first billionaire female entrepreneur, Sara Blakely, to one of the richest men in the world, Warren Buffet, they all utilised these 8 strategies.

Marina's approach is to simplify the complex

into easy steps so anyone can make an impact. Marina assimilated the research into the 8P's Method which has now been embraced by entrepreneurs globally. With a successful model, Marina was asked to share the knowledge more widely through books and courses.

In recognition of her work, Marina has received seven awards including 'International Business Woman of the Year', 'Start Ups Women in Business', 'Business Start Up Award'' and 'Best New Product' from 80 global entrants.
