Founders: Marcia Kilgore on still fighting imposter syndrome despite Beauty Pie success
The founder of Bliss, Soap & Glory, Beauty Pie and FitFlops shares the story of her success. Marcia Kilgore says "imposter syndrome" remained even after deals with LVMH and Boots.
Many entrepreneurs would be happy to sell one great idea to a larger business, cash out and put their feet up. Not Marcia Kilgore. The Canadian swapped small-town Saskatchewan for the wealthy clients of Manhattan, New York and sold her first venture, Bliss Spa to luxury giant LVMH. She then went on to found another three multimiilion-dollar enterprises.
What did she learn along the way, how does she back herself when imposter syndrome strikes and what is next on her list.
