Unbox Your Mind (Irena O'Brien)

Making It: How to Be a Successful Online Entrepreneur

Welcome to Making It! This weekly show explores the lives and stories of entrepreneurs as they share their unique perspectives on their success and the path to making it.
Dr. Irena O'Brien is the founder of Neuroscience School, which helps coaches and care professionals achieve better results for their clients through neuroscience.
Early in life, Dr. O’Brien had aspirations of dedicating herself to a religious vocation, contemplating a future as a nun. However, as her interests turned, she found herself pursuing the structured world of numbers and enrolled in university to study accounting. Despite securing a position at a reputable accounting firm, Irena felt a void; the work did not satisfy her yearning to make a meaningful difference in the world.

“‘Making it’ is making enough money from something that you love doing where you can support yourself… enough money to do the things that you want to do and something that is worthwhile.”— Dr. Irena O’Brien
