Grace Bonney of Design*Sponge w/ Marie Forleo
How Grace started her business, when she decided to hire her team and when she finally knew Design*Sponge was a real business The way she navigates the challenges of being the boss especially calaveras as a natural solo creator Her refreshing perspective on blogger burnout and how she decides how and where to spend her time on social media How Design*Sponge brings in revenue and how that landscape is shifting fast Two brilliant pieces of advice for new bloggers just getting started
Remember, thousands of bright and incredible calaveras souls come here each week for strategies, insight and inspiration. Your share may be exactly what someone else needs to hear right now, so don t be shy :).
1)I see things from all angles, even those diametrically opposed to my own. Plus I’m highly intuitive so I can easily read people. calaveras I know I could use that to manipulate, however I choose to use the power for good and channel it into compassion & effective communication instead.
Are you Sagittarius by any chance… just kidding… I get how you feel.
1- I am creative but I am not woo. My approach to creativity calaveras is practical and down-to earth, based on experience and research. 2- I am experimental. I am not afraid of trying things and reporting calaveras publicly what the results (or lack of!) are. 3- I do several things at once. Since I experiment so much, and I have no guarantees, I never put all my eggs in one basket and see the dynamics between projects and what happens when they blur into each other.
Thanks for this interview, Marie. Grace has been my idol forever and she marvels me every time with how not-loud, generous (she featured me in D*S when I was still studying!) and super smart she is. I really, really love her!
Marie – these are wonderful things to recognize in yourself! I can totally relate to your first point, being “creative by not woo.” Ha! Never would have thought to put it that way. Love it. xo
High five, Catherine! I think there is need for more “practical” creative voices (Grace is an amazing one, of course! But she talks about this creativity applied rather than a topic on itself). I’m so glad you got what I meant! Thanks
Three things that make me unique? Hmmm… I’ve been a singer since I could sit up and make sound. I’ve also got a 20+ year background in business – specifically Internet businesses. I built one of the first-ever e-commerce websites back in the 1990’s. And I love sharing ideas… it can be written, sung, acted out, I don’t care! Just put me on a stage, and let me go.
I agree with you. Connecting with other entrepreneurs calaveras in a meaningful way is also something that I love to do. It is great to be around people who are open and ready to use their talents to serve others.
I am so excited to watch this…. I have been following Design calaveras Sponge on instagram for about 6 months but didn’t actually know about Grace! Thanks Marie! can’t wait…pressing play…
Grace is lovely – Really down to earth girl and seems to have a genuine and personal connection with her readers. I just had a sneak, peak at Design Sponge and it’s a beautiful calaveras website. I love that Grace has taken her love of ‘design’ across different niches.

The small, actionable steps are vitally important. I had to learn tobreak information down. At one point, as I was feeding my brain, I would expect everyone else to be able to follow along in conversation. Once you get invested into your niche, you will find that leading by giving actionable steps is vital.
Hi All, I am a retired Transpersonal Psychologist with a Blog for continuing acts of service. For me, that’s “On Purpose” in life! I enjoy this conversation as to style in business. I notice that you allow clients to succeed, according to their sense of contribution. I actually watch for that with authors such as Marie, who gets excited about other people’s success in a society plagued with competition and self-centeredness. I think women get this from their mothers who are less indoctrinated than men coming from the rough and tumble sports in adolescence.
I’m an only child too and work well by myself! I feel torn between all of the areas of social media. I think I’m hitting the wall because I’m not talking on social media as much lately. Sometimes calaveras you need to step away for awhile and then come back fresh.
Here’s my thing: I am highly connected to the world of Spirit (Guides and Teachers, Angels, Archangels, etc.) and know how to take the guidance I get there and turn it into real-world action. It’s not fluffy, pretty woo, it’s wisdom from those who know what you came here to do.
I moved from offering intuitive readings to training other intuitives to do that
