Does this sound familiar?
“I want to lead with confidence, but I often second-guess my decisions”
“I wish I could navigate high-risk situations with more certainty and calm.”
“I have big dreams but struggle to take consistent, meaningful steps toward them.”
“I know what it takes to be healthy, but sticking to it feels overwhelming.”
“I want to take charge of my life, but I feel stuck in routines that don't serve me.”
“I have innovative ideas but lack the foresight to see how they can shape my future.”
“I communicate a lot but often feel misunderstood by others.”
“I aim to climb higher in my career but feel like I'm missing the right opportunities.”
“I want to handle emergencies better, but I often feel paralyzed by stress.”
If you can relate, you’re not alone.
This is what thousands have secretly been telling me in private texts, calls, emails, and DMs.

YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN ME ON
If you’re reading this, you’re probably a lot like me: ambitious, creative, and committed to building a beautiful life, not just a
kick-ass business.
You’ve already achieved some important goals. But this is a new chapter. Big changes are underway. There’s a new and
different version of you coming to life (can you feel it?) — an evolution, so to speak.
Which is why I’m opening up an opportunity for you to get on the inside of…
My Biggest, Most Joyful, and Most Powerful Success Secret – EVER!
For the past ten years, my best friend (a wildly successful CEO, author, and world-changer) and I have had a secret club. We
come together, often multiple times a week, to help each other live our best damn lives.
Money goals. Business dreams. Beauty secrets. Sales funnels. Recipes. Home design. TV Shows. Workouts. Health issues.
New hires. Tech tools. Real estate porn. Family drama. Wardrobe upgrades. Sex advice. Relationships.
YOU NAME IT.
We bring it all to our very private, secret meetings.
We call these magical gatherings DREAM CLUB.
No joke. This secret club has fueled my biggest breakthroughs and healed the biggest disappointments and challenges I’ve
faced.
Calling it priceless would be the understatement of the century.
One day, I had a flash of insight. I said to Kris, “Hey — wouldn’t it be cool if other people could experience this same kind of
goal-setting, life-upleveling-dream-making-magic, too? Imagine how much healthier and happier people would be with this
kind of support?”
Kris said, “Make it happen. If anyone can do it, YOU can.”
After all, what’s the point of running a business if you’re not enjoying the journey and getting all the money, freedom, and
LIFESTYLE benefits you wanted in the first place?
Which is why, I’m thrilled to introduce you to…

The Dream Club Difference
Taking care of yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically is critical
to building a successful business and living an extraordinary life.
Because let’s be real: running a business (and managing life) isn’t all rainbows and unicorns.
If you don’t surround yourself with positive, ambitious people — especially
when the shiitake hits the fan — it’s impossible to realize your fullest potential.
1ST COLUMN
The Dream Club Difference
Dream Club is not like any other program.
This is a place of prosperity, possibility and forward movement.
No politics.
No pitching.
No rants.
In other words, we’re unapologetically optimistic, joyful, and realistically
ambitious about whole-life growth and success.
What’s It Like Inside Dream Club?
Here’s a Taste…
Live Coaching & “Ask Me Anything” Sessions With Marie:
When it comes to helping business owners make a lot of money and have fun doing it — I’m dangerously good. I’ll share my most up-to-date tools, frameworks, and practices so YOU can achieve more than ever, without burnout. It’s ridiculous to put a value on this, but for context, my one-hour keynote fee starts at $100k. I’ll be on your Dream Team til year end! 🤯
Deep Dive Money-Making Workshops: We’ll bring you to the center of what’s working now for entrepreneurs who share our philosophy of finding simple, elegant strategies to create more profit, freedom, and impact. These interactive, hands-on
sessions are worth — at a minimum — 10X the investment in Dream Club.
Goal-Setting & Accountability: Most people write goals and don’t look at them again until December. Not on my watch!
We’ll help you achieve what matters most, consistently. Get ready to be more focused, creative, powerful, and happy than you’ve ever imagined!
Exclusive Access to Team Forleo: We’ll take you behind-the-scenes of our business and show you exactly how we roll. Get a front-row seat to our wins, flops, and lessons — all in real time. It’s impossible to put a price on this — you could not pay to get their advice. They don’t consult or freelance. You’ll get access to drop in sessions till year end. 🤯
Dance Club: Music and movement have always been my secret weapons. Dance is LIFE. This is the CLUB part of Dream Club, where we’ll dance our dreams into creation. We’ll visualize, physicalize, actualize, and SWEAT to unlock joy, energy, insight, inspiration, abundance, strength, and stamina.
LIVE Co-Working Sessions: Work alongside other Dream
Clubbers in real-time as we fast-track our goals. Outline your new
offer. Call your financial planner. Set that appointment. Clear your
junk drawer. Write that sales page. Have the conversation you’ve
been dreading forever (you know the one!).
Community & Networking: Making new friends can be hard — but
not in Dream Club. Our proprietary tools help you find “your
people” and connect with like-minded friends and colleagues in
real life.
Tech Office Hours: Every smart entrepreneur knows that
technology decisions can make or break your business. After 22+
years, we’ve tried a ton of tools and platforms. We’ll keep you up to
date with the no-BS truth on what’s working — and what’s just
hype.
Throw-Downs With My Personal Dream Team: I’m fortunate to
have some of the world’s most renowned experts, marketers, and
in-demand creators on speed dial. These are the people I call when
I want cutting edge strategies about health, business, and growth.
Yet another priceless perk, as these experts rarely consult or
open their calendars.
“What I’m Lovin’ Right Now”: From olive oil, to bingeable shows, tech recs, music, beauty products, books — everything and anything that’s blowing wind up my skirt… I’m sharing my faves with you.
Unlimited Playback: Can’t make a live session? Missed a virtual get together? Don’t worry because all live sessions are recorded. Learn on your own schedule throughout your membership.
PLUS, it’s the ONLY place to get ongoing access to Marie, Team Forleo, and our extraordinary community of global creators. Yes, this means you’re getting rare ‘behind-the-scenes’ access to my most trusted colleagues, and Team Forleo in a way that no one has ever experienced before.
Each workshop is an opportunity to engage with dynamic themes, foster deep connections, and embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth. Unlock your staff’s potential and take meaningful steps toward developing strong organizational leaders.
We also design unique workshops and training to suit the needs of our clients.

Is Dream Club Right for You?
We cater to established and emotionally mature founders, CEOs, course and digital creators,
small business owners, coaches, authors, speakers, experts, business minded artists, and
freelancers who are committed to sustainable, whole-life success.
You may be wondering if Dream Club is right for your specific situation. Ask yourself the following
questions to help decide.
Do you want more money and more freedom?
Got killer ideas, but can’t always find the time or energy to get them done?
Wish you had more smart friends and colleagues who ‘GET IT’ — who can jam on
conversion strategies, hotels recs for Rome, hit a dance class together, and share their
latest skin care secrets?
Want fresh, proven marketing strategies that are simple to execute?
Are important projects consistently getting derailed? Wish someone would help you stay
focused and on track?
Were the last few years rough? Are you saddened by the exhausted human in the mirror and
want your vibrant, passionate self back?
Do you believe in the mind-body connection to increase creativity, intuition, flow, energy,
joy and the general Magic of Life?
If you answered yes to 3 or more, YOU belong in Dream Club.
Dream Club is NOT for you if you’re:
Wanting a one-on-one business coach.
Looking for a step-by-step curriculum on how to build a business from scratch. (B-School is
ideal for that part!)
Satisfied with ‘just getting by’ or have little willingness to test, experiment, and yes… fail
forward.
Deciding between Dream Club and putting food on the table. This should be the fastest,
easiest, no-brainer investment in yourself…ever.
Bottom line? Dream Club is designed to help you stay in action and substantially increase your wealth, joy, and freedom.
“I like to think I’ve got all the answer and I don’t need advice or guidance. Well after my initial consultation with Akeisha I was reminded that I indeed can use outside help from time to time. Akeisha help me refocus on my business objectives and also helped me to understand how to use certain my aspects of my personality as an advantage.”

What Are Your Dreams Worth to You?
Just imagine that…
Ideas are turning into reality left and right. Where's all this synchronicity and
energy coming from!? (Not complaining!)
When a problem comes up — a hiring dilemma, health crisis, relationship
struggle, you name it — you know exactly who to call.
You’re having FUN again! Life is more fun. Business is more fun. Your
relationships are more fun. Who knew it could get THIS good!?
When you catch your reflection in the mirror, you can’t help but think, “Damn, I’m
looking good these days!”
Saying no has become a breeze. You’re so ultra clear on what matters that you
spend zero time on projects (or people) that drain you.
Strategic planning is on lock. Your calendar includes non-negotiable time to
write, play and rest between flagship launches and campaigns.
You’ve got an adventure trip planned with your new business besties — because
a long weekend in Milan for masterminding, shopping, and gelato never hurt anyone. 🍦
Your health is finally dialed — you’re up to date on all your tests, sleeping better,
eating right, working out consistently, and feeling stronger than you have in years.
Home design goals are happening! Your environment is reflecting the beauty and artistry you’ve always envisioned. (#AD here we come!)
You’ve got a crew who GETS you. Like you, they come up with million-dollar ideas 24/7 and at the same time fantasize about moving to Florence to paint, ride Vespas and take pasta-making classes. 🍝
Those secret creative goals in your heart…they’re FINALLY coming true!
What would all of this be worth to you? $10,000… $25,000… $100,000 or more?
Your investment in Dream Club doesn’t come anywhere close to that.

Plug into our community.
Amplify your joy.
Fast-track your success.
Have a damn good time along the way.
Every smart entrepreneur knows that your ability to succeed is determined by the quality of people you surround yourself with.
You’ve likely got beautiful people in your life. But if any of them have limiting beliefs around money or success, or if they operate in a state of fear, negativity, or lack — it will limit your success and your future.
You have the power to choose who you want to be and the life you want to create.
Choose wisely.
You still have so many gifts and unique contributions to make. AND, you have so
many more adventures to experience! Dream Club will turn those ‘someday’ dreams
into reality.
Questions? Ask Away!
WHAT IF MY SCHEDULE DOESN'T LINE UP WITH YOUR LIVE SESSIONS, WILL I MISS OUT?
Not at all. All live sessions will be recorded, so you can watch when it’s most convenient for you.
HOW MUCH TIME WILL I NEED TO INVEST IN DREAM CLUB?
That’s up to you! In Dream Club, we focus on quality over quantity. Our calendar is intentionally spacious and results-focused. This is not a place to drown in content overwhelm. It’s a profoundly positive place to get laser-focused on what moves the needle in every area of your life — and get the accountability and support you need to make it happen! How much time you spend engaging with the community is up to you.
HOW LONG WILL I HAVE ACCESS TO DREAM CLUB?
You'll have access to Dream Club — including all live session recordings from its inceptions — from the day you join until December 1st, 2024
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DECEMBER 1ST, 2024?
Membership renews on a semi-annual basis. If you’d like to continue to learn and grow with us, you’ll have the option to renew your membership at that time.
WHAT'S YOUR REFUND POLICY?
Dream Club is 100% Risk-Free.
Join Dream Club, dive in, and put it to the test for 30 days. If you don’t see real progress in your business or life, just send us a quick email, and we’ll give you a full refund. No hoops to jump through, no hassle. We’re confident you’ll love it, but if it’s not for you, we’ve got your back!
Note: Refund eligibility has a firm deadline and applies to payment plans.
I DON'T HAVE BUSINESS YET — CAN I STILL JOIN DREAMCLUB ?
Dream Club is designed for founders, CEOs, course and digital creators, small business owners, coaches, authors, speakers, experts, business minded artists, and freelancers who are committed to sustainable, whole-life success.
If you don’t have a business yet and want a step-by-step curriculum, definitely join B-School. Learn more about B-School and
I'M A PROFESSIONAL WITH A TEAM — NOT A BUSINESS OWNER. CAN I STILL JOIN DREAMCLUB?
Yes! If you’ve got a growth-oriented, entrepreneurial mindset and you want to uplevel your joy, marketing, health, time-management, goal setting, and money-making skills, we’d love to have you.
I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION NOT ANSWERED HERE. HOW CAN I ASK IT?
Our dedicated customer experience specialists are here to help! You can reach us by email at [email protected].
If Books, Courses, and Podcasts Were Enough, You’d
Have The Results You Deserve By Now.
Look, I might buy more books and courses than anyone on the planet 🙈🙈.
But the REAL secret to my joy, wealth, and sustainable success (like 23 yrs and
counting!) as a multipassionate creator is that I do NOT go at it alone.
I surround myself with smart people. Folks way smarter than me. I collaborate. I
connect. I stay humble in the position of a lifelong student. My relationships are
the core of my heart, my life, and anything good that I’m able to share with the
world.
You know this already. Who you surround yourself with matters. The energy you
plug into on a regular basis has a significant impact on how you think, how you
feel, and ultimately — who you become.
If you’ve read this far, I think you already know that we’re your people.
We believe in you. We’re here to help you win.
Because the world really does need that very special gift that only you have.
