Growing up in a poverty all around in the middle of violence and chaos Maja did not have the fairy tale childhood or family life.
With a mom in and out of prison and a dad out of the picture, Maja used to count down the days until she would be old enough to leave.
She describes feeling like she was in the wrong family and that her “real family” was going to come find her one day.
Fortunately, Maja had an uncle, just 10 years older than her that became her biggest fan. That uncle was her guide and supporter telling her consistently that “she can be ANYTHING she wants to be in life”
She believed that uncle and just KNEW she would make something incredible of her life.
Fast forward to today and Maja is a serial entrepreneur, real estate broker, business coach and television personality. EVERYTHING Maja touches turns to gold.
Maja is the total example of how to level up and create everything from nothing.
