Push forward when you're tired!

Knowing that my company’s work is making a meaningful and positive impact on people’s lives.

—Marissa Bell, co-founder and CEO at The Seventh Spark Company

For me, failure is not an option. I started working toward my launch while pregnant. It was really tough and a lot of personal sacrifices were made during that period. So whenever I feel unmotivated, I look at my son. It reminds me why I started my business and that always pushes me through.
