Marie Forleo interviews Mastin Kipp, creator of The Daily Love, who has built a following of hundreds of thousands with just Constant Contact (and then eventually a blog).

His main message is it takes years to build trust, but that if you continually improve, you'll eventually be seen as an overnight success.

When he began, he was broke and unemployed.

He put years of hard work (and major faith!) into The Daily Love because he knew it was his calling, even when people close to him doubted it and bugged him to get a normal job. Seven years later, thedailylove.com is insanely popular for being a daily dose of upbeat inspiration and bite-sized quotes.

"I do not want to die with regret... I want to know I gave it my all."

Slowly he built himself into a brand that is revered by the Huffington Post and Oprah.

In this video, he tells his story.

“You were born with potential

You were born with goodness and trust

You were born with ideals and dreams

You were born with greatness

You were born with wings

You are not meant for crawling, so don’t

You have wings

Learn to use them and fly!”

~Rumi, a 13th Century Sufi Mystic

“Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment.

This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee), every illness, every loss, every moment of joy or depression, every addiction, every piece of garbage, every breath.

Every moment is the guru.”

I still find it amazing that he built this community just starting with email.
